7 Ways We’re Rude at Weddings Without Even Realizing It

SEGMENT 1: The 7 Sneaky Wedding Faux Pas

#7 – Pointing Out Something That Went Wrong

·        Explain how guests often mention mistakes (“That was crazy when the officiant messed up!”)

·        Hosts’ reaction: empathize, joke about it, reinforce — the couple already knows!

#6 – Taking Photos During the Ceremony

·        J.R admits he was planning to take photos at Launa’s wedding

·        Discuss why it’s considered rude: blocks photographer, ruins shots, distracts from moment

·        Compare to filming concerts — “Be in the moment!”

#5 – Oversharing During Toasts or Conversations

·        Don’t tell embarrassing stories unless you know the couple’s cool with it

·        Emphasize it’s their day, not your comedy set

#4 – Requesting Songs from the DJ

·        Host shares personal experience as a wedding DJ

·        Explain how playlists are pre-planned by the couple

·        Funny story: Grandpa requesting “Rhinestone Cowboy”

·        Lesson: If the DJ says no, drop it

#3 – Stealing Flowers or Decorations

·        Don’t assume centerpieces are freebies unless told so

·        “Ask before you take — they might have other plans!”

#2 – Making a Spectacle

·        Examples: proposing, getting too drunk, or upstaging on the dance floor

·        Funny bit: “It’s not Dancing with the Stars, calm down.”

·        Hosts share quick anecdotes or observations

#1 – Monopolizing the Couple’s Time

·        Don’t corner the bride/groom or hover at the head table

·        Acknowledge they have to greet everyone

·        Joke about “Edna who traveled a long way” not being the only guest

SEGMENT 2: Listener Call-Ins — What’s Rude That People Don’t Realize?

Caller 1 – Shannon: “Showing up hungover.”

·        Hosts laugh, connect it to concern for Launa’s wedding

Caller 2 – Jennifer: “RSVPing and not showing up.”

·        Hosts discuss cost per head, emphasize how inconsiderate it is

Caller 3 – Lisa: “Someone told the actual mother of the bride to move!”

·        Hosts react in disbelief

·        Discuss possible wedding crasher — fun, lighthearted exchange

SEGMENT 3: Wrap-Up & Reflection

·        Recap: “So those are the seven — plus a few extras from our listeners.”

·        Reflect on personal takeaways:

o   “Kevin, are you guilty of any of these?”

o   “Not a dancer, not a photo-taker — I’m good!”

·        Final thought: “Mind your own business, celebrate with love, and don’t be the story people tell later.”

·        Tease follow-up episode: “After Launa’s wedding, we’ll see if we followed our own advice…”
