- TikToker Moyo Ajibade made lists of rules for his wedding, including no babies and mandatory enthusiasm.
- Sharing 'wedding rules' has become a popular trend on the app.
- Some creators are even poking fun at the trend with silly demands, like saying all rings must be ring pops.
A TikToker shared two lists of criteria he's imposing at his future wedding, which include a no-babies policy and a mandate for everyone to be dancing. His videos are the latest in a long line of "wedding rules" videos that have gone viral on the app — a trend so popular it's even become somewhat of a joke.
Last week, TikTok creator Moyo Ajibade shared his rules to his 2.5 million followers. "This is rules to my wedding part two," Ajibade said with a joke that he's releasing the second part of his rules first. (He then shared "part one" on Sunday.)
In the first video, the creator listed his top demands: no babies, guests must share all their photos to a communal Drop Box link, guests must also stay at home if they're sick, and the "energy and vibes have to be immaculate."
"I don't care if the baby's cute, I don't care if we're related," he said in the clip, which has amassed over 1.2 million views. "I don't even care if it's my own. No babies allowed."
He also added that he's requiring people to dance and clap when he and his partner make their great debut.
"If I see anybody moping about just sitting around doing nothing, you're getting kicked out," he said.
Fans and commenters are both entertained and enthusiastically agreeing with Ajibade's rules. Some are even asking to be invited to his wedding.
"The photo one is so real especially if ur the one getting married u aint take any," a top commenter noted.
People especially appreciated the no-babies policy. "Imagine when you about to kiss then a baby starts crying," another person commented.
Over the weekend, the TikToker finally shared "part one" of his rules. These rules stated that all phones must be silenced, guests get no plus-ones, no personal announcements (like a pregnancy or a proposal) should be made, and to please abide by the dress code.
Insider has reached out to Ajibade for more of his thoughts and commentary on wedding etiquette.
"Wedding rules" videos have become a popular subgenre on TikTok. Over the years, people have gone viral with both silly and serious demands. No babies and no negative energy are some of the most agreed-upon rules. One woman went viral in October for her list, which included a stern request that Jamie Foxx must sing at her wedding.
"Who's gonna pay for it? I don't know," the creator @thedioxxalela joked. "I don't care if he's coming to say 'shooby-dooby doo,' that's good enough for me. But nobody else is singing a solo."
Other TikTokers have made very long lists of rules. One person's extensive list included that no one under 21 be invited, no vapes, no "first looks," no garter toss, no khakis or jeans, and no taking shots.
It's become so popular that some creators are making parody versions of the trend, like one creator who said all "rings will be ring pops" and urged everyone to wear white because they'll be pelted with paint balloons at the end of the ceremony.
One of the most absurd lists of rules shared was from creator @itssharone in 2021. She joked that she'd mandate that no one between the ages of nine and 17 show up except for 12-year-olds — a sympathy gesture because the creator said she hated being 12. She also said all men must wear heels in her presence; left-handed attendees will be seated together "for maximum efficiency"; and people must burp on command whenever she taps a glass.
"This is the type of wedding I want to go to," a top commenter in on the joke responded.
