Internet Objects To Marriage After Seeing Overly Complicated Wedding Seating Chart
Wedding decor is the one thing that gives every wedding its unique flair and reflects the personality of the couple. From the color scheme to flowers and greenery, the lighting, and even the wedding sign fonts, there are so many options to truly personalize a wedding. But one couple got a little too ambitious with their seating chart, and it’s confusing the internet.
I’d say I need a map to help me find my seat, but they included one on the chart and I’m still lost.
Wedding Shaming, Rightfully So
So where on the internet did this wedding chart bless us from? Well, where else but Reddit?
Redditor narlymaroo shared this photo to the Wedding Shaming subreddit. They explain that they had been looking for seating chart ideas for their own wedding when this monstrosity popped up during a Google search.
When An Idea Goes Overboard
Narlymaroo then realized that the photo was also posted to Pinterest, because of course it was.
Look, I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t spent hours cruising through Pinterest trying to get inspiration for my own wedding. But there’s “overboard” and then there’s “so overboard it’s making the passengers of the Titanic uncomfortable.” Guess which one this is?
Hopelessly Tangled
Get in, losers, we’re searching the internet for clues!
Odds are you’re probably as confused as I am, and as confused as Reddit is trying to make sense of this chart. So let’s dive into the comments and see if we can untangle the ball of yarn that is this wedding seating chart.
That’s A No From Me, Dawg
So, some Redditors point out that this is why they didn’t have assigned seating at their weddings. And some others believe that this seating chart isn’t nearly as bad as everyone thinks it is.
“Am I really the only one to like it? I think it's fun and original,” writes one commenter. And to answer your question: Yes, yes you are.
GPS Navigation Required
Some Redditors began brainstorming that perhaps using various colorful strings instead of the same monotone color would help minimize the confusion, but Reddit quickly shut it down.
In addition to it being hard for people with bad eyesight to read, there are other, more glaring problems.
Distance Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
So there’s already a lot to unpack here, and eagle-eyed Redditors noticed that in addition to this seating chart being every intoxicated guest's worst nightmare, it gets worse.
If you look at the chart and carefully follow the line between a guest’s name and their table number, family members and spouses aren’t even sitting together.
A Ball Of Anxiety
So what do we know so far? Not only do guests’ brains hurt trying to understand the wedding seating chart brain teaser, but now they’re being forced to sit away from loved ones and with total strangers. Cue hyperventilating.
"This is horrendous! Couples/families not sitting together, that chart looks like a mess, my OCD would be on overdrive along with my anxiety after looking at that. Just ridiculous, who thinks this even looks good?!" writes one Redditor.
I Was Thinking The Exact Same Thing
“I’m really hoping the wedding I go to this month is not that complex after toasts. Before drinks, I could perhaps face that. After it’s a nope.”
Sober or not, if I walked into this wedding reception and saw this seating chart, I'd bounce harder than a basketball (but not before making off with a couple of bottles of wine).
I Object With Every Fiber Of My Being
This wedding chart crawled up out of the calligraphy-ridden depths of hell. The bride and groom definitely hate their guests.
“I object!” to this absolutely ridiculous wedding seating chart. But look on the bright side—it’ll make great kindling for a bonfire.
Color Me Confused
So, are you still staring at this wedding seating chart, utterly and hopelessly confused? Or do you appreciate the uniqueness of the seating chart and maybe you’ll consider it for your own wedding?
What’s the most creative or over-the-top piece of decor you ever saw at a wedding? Let us know in the comments!
