3 things that are cringey as fuck in 2026 weddings

We have shot over three hundred weddings, so we have seen our fair share of weddings. We’ve seen good ones, shit ones and every combination in between! What we have learned over all of those weddings, is that there is some really cringey shit in weddings and we are here to root it all out!

So what are the most cringey things happening in weddings at the moment, what are the biggest tips we can give you as a photo video team if you are planning a wedding,,,

Lets jump in the deep end…

Traditions.

Traditions can honestly do one, now we aren’t talking about traditions within your relationship, we’re talking about the traditions thats were built 300 years ago by some king that deemed a wedding should be a certain way just because thats what he wanted. The thoughts, feelings and ideologies of people hundreds of years ago really have absolutely no place in your wedding in 2026.

Fuck doing something in your wedding because your relatives think that you should be doing it, just because their nan did it 80 years ago…again just because your great granddad gave your nan away like she was property does not mean that you have to! You can find some one else, or…hear me out here…you could be a complete bad ass and walk yourself down the aisle…who’d have thunk it!

Oh, and fuck doing something in your wedding just because some prick in vogue magazine has said that you SHOULD be doing it because a celebrity wedding has set a new trend. Fuck that. Unless they are going to chuck that weddings budget at you, you have to do the things that makes sense for your wedding, your relationship…its your fucking day no one else’s.

Being Afraid.

Fuck being worried about what everyone else is thinking of you. Your wedding day is one of days in your life where you should be your true self and lets face it, if you cant be your true self at your own wedding for fear of what some of your guests are going to think…fuck them off, you don’t need that kind of negativity!

Fuck listening to influencers planning a wedding, chances are they are going to have a bigger budget or sponsorships, more than likely things that you don’t have…Obviously they are going to sell you on something you don’t need just because its pushing their agenda…You do you!

Also, whilst we are here, fuck all the suppliers who you gave your email to at a wedding fair that are now absolutely spamming the shit out of your inbox in the hope that you weaken and buy their services…fuck them and their shitty emails taking up brain space, bin ‘em off!

Guest Lists.

Chances are, this is the first time you have found us, but if it isn’t…even if it is I guess, you’ll learn pretty quick that we are big on not inviting people to your wedding just because they are family. Our biggest piece of advice that we give to all couples we speak to, if you wouldn’t buy them a McDonalds, why the fuck are you considering paying three figures to invite them to a three course meal…use your noggin!

Don’t invite distant relatives just because your nan expects them there, if you haven’t spoken to someone in the last few months, or your kids don’t know them by name, or…and fucking hold on to your hats for this one,…if they don’t know the person you are fucking marrying…if you are going to have to introduce someone to your partner on their wedding day…fuck me, get rid.

We can’t express this enough…

It is your fucking wedding day. Your day, and no matter what anyone says, not even us in all our wisdom, can change your mind on what you and your partner want for your own wedding. It is your one day to show the entire world how obsessed you are over this one singular person on earth and nobody else gets a say in that. Trust your gut and do the things that feel right for the pair of you, plan a day that you feel proud of and most importantly shares your personality. You want you guests to turn up and feel like it is your wedding, like, “yeah, this makes sense for these guys!”.

Anyway, if you have made it this far, we are Burn The Script…A photo video team who are handing out permission slips to be your fucking true self on your wedding day, taking traditions and throwing them into the fire to make sure you not only have the wedding day you actually want, but that you come away from it with some banging memories!
