13 ‘wedding memes’ that hit too close to home for anyone planning their big day

Planning a wedding can be brutal. You've gotta focus on the cake, the venue, the guest list, your budget coming down hard on you, inviting people you don't really like but have to anyway, and so much more.

Plus, if you're the bride, then it's somehow worse. You've got the weight of your family's, if not the world's expectations on you, and you still have to smile through it all and look as elegant as a swan. How is that even possible? Between planning the wedding, spending time with your partner, and mentally preparing for a lifetime together, how do you even breathe?

We know just how horrific the whole ordeal can be, and so, we've compiled a list of some of the funniest memes to show you just how bad every other couple getting married has it as well. Have fun!
