Cancún Voted World’s Most Unoriginal Wedding Destination
Nothing says "I do" quite like all inclusive wristbands and the Cha Cha Slide
Cancún, Mexico’s pristine beach town overrun by drunk U.S. college students and stretch marks, was voted the world’s most unoriginal wedding destination this month by the magazine Put A Ring On It.
In it’s annual “Most Cliché Weddings” edition, Put A Ring On It readers voted Cancún as the world’s most basic destination for a couple’s nuptials, followed closely by Cabo San Lucas, another Mexican beach town teeming with second degree sunburns, all-inclusive bracelets and buffet food.
“If you are invited to a wedding in Cancún and the ceremony includes a reading from the first book of Corinthians, we suggest you run for your life before they play YMCA and the Cha Cha Slide,” the magazine wrote. “If we continue to act as enablers to these tired, hackneyed traditions and don’t cry foul, we’re not only letting down our friends or family members, we’re letting down all of humankind.”
The magazine reminded readers that there are 133 countries on the planet with ocean access and encouraged them to strongly reconsider friendships with people who have the audacity to invite them to travel hundreds of miles to serve them taquitos and chicken wings during a reception at Señor Frogs.
“If love is patient and love is kind, then love yourself enough to walk away from anyone in your life who would propose a weekend of tequila shots at Coco Bongo with people from the southeastern United States,” the magazine said. “We as a species need to hold ourselves to higher standards than attending weddings for couples who have matching tattoos and will undoubtedly design their future home with inspirational wall decals that say things like ‘cherish,’ ’gather’ and ‘live, laugh love’.”
