How badly can you mess up at your own wedding? This unfortunate dummy found out real quick. 

This 31 year old OP and his 29 year old spouse decided to tie the knot, and of course that comes with lots of decision making. This misogynistic OP wrote that while he thought up a hilarious joke for his wedding, his fiancé was taking care of the serious stuff. He'd seen one of his buddies write "Help me!" on the bottom of his wedding shoes in the style of "Toy Story," and as the OP recounts, that was a huge hit with the wedding crowd. 

Working together with his brother, the OP decided to introduce this "joke" into his own wedding, and it sounds unbearably cringey for every single person involved. Girl, leave him, and OP, just read the comments to find out what you did wrong. As one person wrote, "Always make sure both spouses are in on the joke." 

After you scroll through the details of this giant red flag of a wedding, check out this guy whose friends have really terrible dining etiquette.

    Font - You're probably wondering why "wife" is in quotatian marks. Well, I had an old buddy from the military who wrote on the bottom of his shoes in Magic marker at his wedding- kind of like Woody in Toy Story, except instead of "Andy" he wrote "Help Me!". and it was really funny.

    Sky - And it helped show off their personality because they are the kind of couple that doesn't take themselves too seriously. That's always how I've seen me and Taylor. She's the kind of girl who loves to laugh.

    Font - I wanted to help plan the wedding as much as could. I made sure we all had suits who needed them. I talked on the phone with some of the vendors. And I had my hands in 5 Alarm Baked beans to feed 200 people up until an hour before the ceremony.

    Font - I got to see a side of Taylor I never saw before. You know how ladies can get about weddings. All of a sudden I'm hearing about things like "fire codes" and fire Marshalls, place cards and place MATS. Taylor and I are always pulling pranks on each other. So I thought it'd be fun to lighten the mood on the big day.

    Font - Taylor and I love the water, and we love to fish. Sometimes we let them go, and sometimes we throw them on the grill. Like I said, we wanted our wedding to show off our personality. We even had a table to honor the ones who couldn't be there with us that day.

    Font - After the kiss, I had my little brothers lower a banner for pictures. The first one was the one with our names on it (think "Meet The Smith's"). Then, the next one was I had someone on Etsy make me a banner of a Cartoon fish (like those singing ones from the store) saying "Hook, Line, And Sinker. HELP ME!"

    Sky - I never would of guessed how angry she would be. I thought it would give her a laugh after all the wedding planning stress. I didn't mean any harm. And I apologized in front of everyone. But Taylor left before we even got to do the receiving line.

    Sky - Long story short, I'm living at my Nana's house. And I don't know if I have a wife anymore. Taylor won't pick up the phone. She's blocked me on all social media. Reddit, I put up a "help me" sign at our wedding as a joke. AITA?

    Font - mommytobee_. 17 hr. ago It's not even hard! My husband wrote the script for our ceremony. He included a lot of jokes and references, because that's the essence of us. He had me read it and there was one joke I didn't like, so he removed it. We still had a less serious ceremony that fit us. It still had some funny jokes. But it was done in a way that made us both comfortable.

    Font - SenorSplashdamage - 17 hr. ago This post is also making me think through "he'd give you the shirt off his back." Maybe that's used at times just to say someone is generous, but feels like a lot of the time it's preparing that as an excuse or pass for some other serious flaw in a guy's behavior. Lots of people are generous, but it feels like a phrase reserved more for someone who has bad boundaries and does as much upsetting s... as they do good.
