It’s official: Wedding season is upon us. If you’re like me, you have approximately 800,000 nuptials to witness over the course of the next four months. Don’t get me wrong, I’m more than happy to attend; weddings at their best are beautiful occasions to celebrate the union of two individuals. But there are certain awful guests who lurk at the fringes of every wedding and threaten to turn a joyful event into American Horror Story: Wedding Edition.

If you’re going to survive wedding season, you’re going to have to learn how to handle these annoying guests. Not to worry, though, we’ve come up with a list of the nine worst guests you’ll find at every wedding, and how to deal with each.
