A COUPLE left people shocked recently when a picture from their wedding reception was shared online.
Although having an usual wedding theme isn’t completely unheard of, their choice was slammed as being creepy and disrespectful.
If there’s a wedding theme that doesn’t exactly scream romantic, it’s a true crime.
But the couple decided to go with it anyway, and even the table names got the true crime treatment.
One of the tables was even called ‘The Jack the Ripper table’, leaving people shocked.
Users on Reddit couldn’t believe the couple went with the theme when there were so many better options out there.
“Imagine you’re a homeless woman who gets brutally murdered and dissected, and 200 years later, the nickname of your murderer is used as a place card at a wedding table,” one person slammed.
Another agreed: “Spooky and horror themed stuff is fine if you’re into that.
“True crime, however, isn’t a party theme. Real people died. So gross.”
“People are wild,” someone else answered.
Meanwhile, others shared some similar themes the newlyweds could’ve gone for instead.
One said: “It would be way cooler if you were into true crime and picked your favorite forensic scientist or something.”
“Literally why not just do a fun slasher theme? You would have to change so little! The tables could be named after the characters,” another suggested.
“I am interested in true crime, but this is so tacky and frankly inappropriate,” commented someone else.
“I understand wanting to do something you are interested in but I don’t think your wedding reception should reflect that its creepy,” agreed another.
