'Almost everything went wrong': Couples' last-minute backyard wedding starts late when guest disappears

Plan your wedding just two weeks ahead of time? What could go wrong? Well, just about everything, as this couple learned. 

It's understandable why a couple would want to avoid the pressures of planning a wedding. It can take years to put together a guest list, snag a venue, hire a catering company and a DJ… the list goes on and on. That's why it's fairly common for people to get engaged as a sign of their commitment to each other, and then take a few months or years to plan out their special day. 

I get what this couple was going for. They got engaged and thought that if they just threw a fast and casual wedding that things would be easy. Just tell your parents and in-laws to show up---how hard could it be? Well, as u/the_lonely_mermaid shared to the r/weddingshaming subreddit, there are endless ways a wedding can go wrong. This couple had to find that out the hard way. Who knows, maybe in five years or so they'll plan a vow renewal and hope that things go more smoothly the second time around.
