I went to a wedding many years ago and the Best Man's wife was heavily pregnant. Nobody cared about that as it's part of life. At the reception during dinner she went into labour, was hauled out in an ambulance. The Bride & Groom were thrilled to get a phone call that they had a nephew. To the wedding party, it was another reason to celebrate. That is how it should be.
I was 8 and a half months pregnant at my cousin's wedding. I was nervous I would go into labor on her big day. (I did 2 weeks later so it was all good)
As someone who’s recovered from an eating disorder, I would walk away from the entire friendship if this happened to me. My friend was an absolute sweetheart when I had issues with unexpected weight gain from medication during her wedding and instead of making a big deal of it, she was encouraging and helped me pick a new dress that worked for my weight gain and new body shape. She stayed super supportive (I went from a 00 to a size 6 so it was a massive change to me mentally) and by the end of her wedding, I felt so confident in my new body because she made me feel so beautiful as did all the other bridesmaids.
You are beautiful no matter what. I'm so proud of you for your recovery!! I'm in ED recovery too, and the feelings you're talking about are completely normal. That's the disease.. but, You chose yourself, and you won, my Love 🥹🫶🏻 Your friend is a keeper!! 🥰
As another person who has also recovered from eating disorders, I'm learning to love my body again and I'm starting to listen to everyone who said NOT that I was beautiful before or beautiful after or putting any timestamp on it... everyone who said I was beautiful no matter what I looked like. My favorite people laugh with me when I say "if I looked like this?" or "if I turned into an earthworm?" and say "no matter what". I love the shopkeeper's dive into supporting the women who are under such scrutiny from this delusional bride, not just with professionalism, but empathy and absolute grace and sense of humor in this wild debacle.
Wow. Good for you. I’ll bet you looked great as a size 6. But I hear you, as someone who has been naturally skinny most of my life, at on point I out on a lot of weight, & it was crushing. I have lost it, but I totally understand how you feel.
Me too! And a savvy business owner - she's absolutely correct about potential lawsuits (30+ year paralegal), Any of the bridesmaids could sue for breach of contract (and would win) and the fact that the bride doesn't care is just disgusting.
@@elliscraneI drafted a lot of Rent/Possessions and Breaches of Contracts. While a good business head, it also seems to be common sense…not aiding and abetting forced diets is probably a good idea. 😂😂😂😂
Then why would she change the dress sizes without the bride knowing for the two pregnant girls? I thought it was a contract that had to be signed by both the bride and the bridesmaid...
One of my bridesmaids was 4 months pregnant at my wedding, and I would never even have considered it a problem. In fact, when her lovely daughter was born and older, we used to tell her that my wedding was the first wedding she had ever attended. Other people have Flower Girls, I had a little bud waiting to bloom in my wedding party. ❤
At my wedding, (I am a male) two of my friends from my time I was studying and whom I saw once a year or so at that time showed up. One with a little bumb because she was the second time pregnant and surprised me with it. I was so happy for her. Later, while we had the party, the second friend told me in secret, that she was pregnant too, but it was very early, almost no one (aside from their parents) knew about it, because she lost the first child and it was still the first critical months - but she wanted to tell me already, because it was my wedding. That was the best wedding gift I got. I cried a little bit in joy for them (yes, I am a grown up men of 2 meters and 120kg and still I cried) and tried to remain calm, so nobody else noticed it. I knew about their wish for a baby and knew about their loss earlier. What could have been a bether gift then such a message? The guests where all family and friends. I wanted them to attend they wedding as they are, because that´s how I (or bether, we, my wife and I) love them and why we invited them the first place - and not be, behave or look as something they don´t were, just for a few wedding pictures.
That right there.... You fine sir, are a gentleman and a great friend. Your wife is very blessed to have a husband like you. I love that both of you didn't want all of your guests to look a certain way. Whether it's friends or family, everyone is created in their own way and for their own reason.
The fact that these friends wanted the pregnancy keeping secret from the bride in the first place tells you everything you need to know about this woman.
My sister knew our sister-in-law was pregnant for her wedding. Then i ended up pregnant, i was scared to tell her... I ended up having to tell her because I was a bridesmaid. Her response, why did you have to get pregnant now. 😳 Thankfully, she moved on but I feel your statement.
@@jackb1969this mindset makes no sense. You are in a wedding when you are asked, in order to support the bride. How is being pregnant “rude” or a disqualification for being a bridesmaid? You act like it’s a formal job and it can’t be performed if they’re growing a human? 🤣 If they felt uncomfortable telling the bride, that speaks volumes about the level of selfishness of the bride and stand in support of her on her wedding day. If a person can’t be happy for a friend creating a life, she’s a $hitty friend. Period.
This whole thing is bananas. Tell me you’ve never heard “no” without telling me. That store owner sounds like the nicest lady with good customer service. Poor thing had to deal with all that nastiness.
She really is, she's a very professional woman with a "take no shit" attitude. You really have to be with clients like that! Those are the bratty children that grew up to be entitled.
I LOVE that dress-shop owner!! Bravo on doing the right thing and having integrity. I hope the bridesmaids never give that vapid, thieving bride the time of day ever again. Charlotte, you say everything I’m thinking. Thanks for being a voice of reason in this crazy-a** world!!!
My bestie was 8 months pregnant at my wedding. She was huge and beautiful. I would never have been angry. That was 1990 and we are still the best of friends.
Do not fear! I got married 5 days ago and it was beautiful! No drama, no drunks, no fights, just 2 loving families coming together! Our secret....we only had 18 guests ❤❤
We had no drama etc in our wedding of 55 people, secret is to have only people who are involved of your daily lifes. Yes, it means no relatives who you have never heard, nor haven't seen in a couple of years... This did cause drama before wedding, but luckily it was covid time so it was easy to justify ;) (and we made decision, that if we haven't talked in two years, then no invite to our wedding)
We kept it small as well just 10 ppl n our 2 kids n I was expecting our 3rd n we had a BBQ at home.....we've been together for 20+ years .... congrats as well
I'm legit GASPING at the utter audacity of that bride! I'm currently planning my wedding, and my girls are all sizes, and I'm STOKED that they're going to be in comfy dresses that they all feel confident and happy in. I would never try to get them to change how they look for me, that's so insane! I love them all just the way they are, and am so proud and honored to have them stand by my side...and drink endless margaritas and eat mashed potatoes at the reception with them haha!
Exactly. My brother just got married a couple months ago. Outdoor wedding, summer. It fucking poured. Like torrential downpour. The deejay didn’t show up, last minute.. like.. 5 min before the bride was to walk down the aisle to her song he was supposed to play. The lady who was doing our bridesmaid dress alterations died. The best man didn’t show up. The spa and beauty salon who was supposed to do our nails, pedicures, and spray tans the day before double booked and couldn’t fit us in when we showed up, and the makeup artist was in an car accident on the way to our bridal suite that morning!! Along with like 40 other “minor” things compared to all those major things. My brother and his wife were literally like…. What the hell else could go wrong lol and just started laughing it all off. They were such troopers man, and we ended up making it all work… and they ended up having a great time. Looking back now, when we tell people who were there everything that went wrong, they all say “wow we had no idea!! Everything seemed so perfect and you were so happy!”.. and I’m so glad that we didn’t let those things ruin their day. It was crazy in the moment but we made it happen lol
Exactly!! Weddings are kinda like when people come into money; it doesn’t corrupt exactly, it exacerbates what’s there, especially when it comes to how people deal with public image and stress.
My bridesmaids thought I was nuts because I didnt really care how the photos looked or anything else, I cared more about whether they felt comfortable and beautiful in their dresses 😂 The lion, the witch and the AUDACITY OF THIS B-
Same! I chose a color and asked them to choose a style they wanted, paid for that and their hair and makeup and had a great day! Well, my dad pissed off my aunt (my mom's best friend) on the drive across the state and now my aunt doesn't talk to my parents anymore, but that's not on me 🤷🏼♀️.
Me either! It was my second marriage, my husband's first marriage and his parents wanted to pay for it. My mother in law loves doing things like that, so I let her plan everything. The only thing that mattered to me is that I married the man I love. There were no issues whatsoever. It was beautiful! I did have 2 women at my wedding that were both due any day!! But no one went into labor that day!
The only wedding I was a bridesmaid at actually did go off without a hitch. Most laid-back bride ever (not surprising, knowing this woman!). Location: alma mater chapel. Pretty enough on its own not to need flowers. Dresses: bridesmaids were not only in different states but in different countries, so she mailed us paint samples and told us to get a knee-length dress in that color, no strapless. Everyone followed instructions. Bride's dress was gorgeous. She wore matching high-top keds with it. No notes. Reception: the bridal party all wore silly hats into the dining hall (which was on the same campus as the chapel). She hired a local DJ and he played Vitamin String Quartet throughout the meal (cue the entire reception singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody). Food was good. Table decor was mostly bought at Dollar Tree and looked great. I honestly think the only thing in the entire wedding that the bride splashed out for was her dress and the hand-painted fans that she had her bridesmaids carry instead of flowers - they were personalized for each of us with things we liked! Very nice bridesmaid gift. Got our hair done separately, none of us knows how to put on makeup so we didn't bother with most of it. Only interruption: ice cream truck showed up on the campus during the rehearsal dinner, so we got ice cream! Lovely day. I wish all weddings could be that laid-back.
My daughter and her husband were in the middle of their vows at an outdoor wedding when it started raining HARD. We had umbrellas that didn't help, but they just laughed and continued the wedding inside. Everyone had a great time despite the rain. It all depends on the bride's and groom's attitudes, and they just wanted their family and friends to share their big day with them ... even soaking wet.
I believe when things like ✨that✨ happen during your wedding ceremony or reception, that is the indication that the marriage will flourish. Absolutely lovely!
This happened to me. I cried first but then pulled it together. The venue did a great job reorganizing for an indoor wedding we started over and it was beautiful. Twenty years later when we argue one of us will still say “You had two chances to say no” We laugh and the argument ends.
I was pregnant when I served as matron of honor in my best friend's wedding. We had planned to get pregnant earlier, but when she called me and told me she was getting married, we waited a few months, so that I was only about 3 months along when she got married. However, I had "blossomed" up top; all my best friend did was compliment me on how beautiful I looked in the dress she had picked out for us. That's class!
My sister deliberately ruined my dress for her wedding. It was really weird, the dress fit perfectly when I first arrived (from interstate) to the fitting. Then they gave it to me ruined. They made me pay for it, and there was no time to fix it. But I smiled and pretended it was all fine, throughout the day. I later learned that it had been ruined deliberately, when I gave it to another dressmaker to fix. She said that it had a weird lining inside it that was sewn with zigzags back and forth, so that it would tightly crease and crush. I don't understand ANY of it, and I would have gladly not attended, if that's she what she wanted. Linda Mogg was the dressmaker/ruiner.
I’m a wedding photographer and I can tell you most of the 300+ I’ve photographed are drama-free. I’ve had a few craaaazy moments, but my clients are the BEST. I think it’s because I operate mostly word-of-mouth and only book with people who seem kind and genuine.
As a fellow photographer, I do an engagement shoots as an interview. If we don’t vibe, I don’t do the shoot. Simple. And same, most of my work is word of mouth.
@@nadianolan2970this is brilliant and now I'm curious if our photographer did the same thing. 🤣 We had so much fun doing the engagement shoot that I can't imagine the people who would be pre-fired as clients. Have you ever pre-fired a couple? How did you let them know?
As someone who worked in customer service specifically checkIn per 100~150 passangers there is 1 ahole …so 5 or 6 at a A380 Most passengers were ok but as I had 2 flights a day I had a story about a stubborn or crazy or delusional passanger every day… Like the one that said he doesn’t needed a passport to go to Canada… That he only needed to talk to them because he knows people… „Sir my computer-CheckIn-System has no field for ‚knowing people“ only for your passportnumber and without i won’t even let me send your luggage down nor print you your ticket.“ … he then wanted to block my counter until I just did what he „the customer“ wanted
At first I questioned why that lady's friends wanted to keep their pregnancies a secret. Then as she showed her bridezilla nature it made way more sense. They were probably terrified that if they told her they were pregnant, rather than celebrating with them she'd uninvite them for not looking as slim as she apparently wanted everyone to work.
So proud of you for standing your ground. What’s right is right. What’s wrong is wrong. No tantrum changes wrong to be right. Remember that ladies. Can you imagine what the partner would feel if they knew you cared more about looks than people? 😢
Back in the 80’s I was maid of honor for my best friend . I was heavily pregnant with my first child and the photographer kept putting me in the back by the way I’m very short. My friend kept pulling me back up front saying she is in the front thank you very much. ❤❤
Yeah what is wrong with people?! There is nothing wrong with being pregnant OR being a thick lady. That would have been really upsetting for me if a photographer did something like that.
Don’t go victim blaming now.😉 Let’s keep in mind that the bridesmaids are not to blame for the 💩ty personality of the bride. I’ve overlooked a lot for the sake of a friendship but nothing as extreme as this so I hear ya!
They don’t have to tell her right away that they are. The bride would probably assume they are trying to upstage her. By the story it sounds like that’s how she would respond. As a friend I’m there to support you on your day and afterwards I’ll let you know I’m expecting.
@@davidguidry657umm, I don't think they were blaming the bridesmaids...they just said they don't wanna be a bridesmaid to someone they have to hide their pregnancy from...
Why do these brides care so much about how their bridesmaids look like??? I chose my bridesmaids based on closeness and my relationship with them. I would never think to make someone change their appearance. This just floors me.
That bride is a NIGHTMARE. I had a gazillion bridesmaids (10) with a big variety in height and size, and they all looked BEAUTIFUL. I legitimately can't imagine doing something so cruel like trying to force everyone to lose weight for your wedding. She essentially said that none of them were good enough for her or her wedding. What an awful friend and person.
I love how Charlotte has done thousands of videos about bridezillas - but then she's confused about why the bride wasn't supposed to find out two of her bridesmaids were pregnant 😂 Charlotte, you're the sweetest 🥰
I got married two months ago with very little drama, went off without a hitch, and was gifted a honeymoon 💜 it’s all about perspective and looking at the big picture.
As the bridesmaid who had an ideal "size" to get to by the wedding date, ironically I lost too much weight and was asked to step down because I was "smaller" than the bride
My wedding had zero drama. Not one single hitch. The bridesmaids loved their dresses, the price was decided by them to ensure they weren't overspending. They wore shoes they already had. I bought them jewelry so they would have what I wanted them to wear. Shower was a fun, chill affair. You can treat people you love well and still have an amazing, fabulous day.
This story is absolutely wild. What a horrible human being. I fee so sorry for those bridesmaids. This designer/seamstress is such a cool person. Good for her for standing her ground.
I got married 2010 in the backyard of the first home we purchased together. I was wearing a blue summer dress with blue flowers. It was small and intimate with family and friends. Catered by my spouse who is a chef mind you. I told my bridesmaids wear what they want as long as it’s nice and comfortable. It was a great wedding. You don’t need to go all out for a wedding.
Your wedding sounds perfect. You sounded very mellow and that you wanted everyone to be happy and comfortable. I cannot understand brides who are completely delulu with unreasonable expectations of the bridesmaids and how everyone will look. Plus, the costs of these wedding seem to get more and more expensive. Have good tasting food (your husband being a chef was great), some nice alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, so everyone is happy. I’m sure people remember your wedding with happy memories bcz of the lack of drama and that you had the wedding that you wanted.
One of my best friends was just TRYING to get pregnant at the time we did the bridesmaid dress fittings so we chose a size bigger and a dress that she could alter to fit around a tummy. This bride is LITERALLY insane.
when my childhood bestie got married she asked me to be her maid of honor. I was thrilled! I am a 'bigger' woman AND I was pregnant. She changed plans for her bridesmaid's dresses just to accommodate my pregnancy. I was 8 months pregnant when she got married and the wedding was beautiful. My 2-year-old son even got to help me with my speech by figuring out that his voice could be heard through the mic and loved it. I named my daughter after her. We are now both just turning 50 and our kids are grown and we are still the bestest friends ever. THAT is friendship. (Love you Tatum)
My husband and I flew to San Fran, rented a car, drove to Carson city NV to pick up a license, then on to Lake Tahoe where we got married just the two of us, the minister and his wife, at 7:30 pm on a Sunday night as the sun was setting. We have been married now over 36 yrs. Best decision we’ve ever made.
My husband and I got engaged after three weeks of dating and married five months later. The wedding was small but we had a huge party the next day which was informal and fun. Everything went well with no drama and 48years later we’re still happy together.
For that first story, I've never been involved in the dress buying process of a wedding (even tho I was in my second-older sister's wedding party) but I HAVE gone prom dress shopping in the past, and let me tell you, as a bigger girl, finding a dress that fits and fits COMFORTABLY is hard. It was last minute for me, and I still had to get alterations done on the dress, and it's WAY more difficult to add material than to remove material in alterations. Props to that bridal store owner for doing the right and legal thing.
As a bigger lady myself, and someone who isn't confident, I would struggle with just standing there in sight of everyone, never mind wearing something that bursts at the seams. These brides were disgusting
My sister's wedding was incredibly smooth and drama free. She let us pick out our own dresses and colors. She said she wanted us all to feel beautiful. She and her now husband paid for the wedding themselves. Planned it all and his family was good about it, as we're my parents. They've been married for 18 years and still going strong. We all thought she'd be a bridezilla. But, she was completely opposite of that. She was really kind and considerate. In her normal, day to day life, she is extremely picky, particular and can be a handful. But, she was so happy and the wedding didn't faze her. She asked for my our opinion and went along with almost all of our suggestions.it was such a good wedding. The vibes were so chill and so good. We ran into one of the wedding guests, we hadn't seen in a few years. She told my sister, it was the best wedding she had been to and she asked my sisters about the planning and how she did it, because her daughter is getting married and she wants her daughters wedding to be just as fun and beautiful as my sisters had been.
I can proudly say that I was not a bridezilla about my wedding 33 years ago. DIY wedding, found great deals through family and friends, never went over budget, no issues with bridesmaids' sizes...I purchased my dress (as well as bridesmaids dresses) through the JC Penney bridal catalog, absolutely no alterations needed. I paid a DJ with my own paycheck, i figured out costs ahead of time and I bought silk flowers, etc and made all the bouquets, corsages, and boutineers. I asked my dad for $1,500. I handled all the finances for the wedding. My wedding was on December 15 and we were surprised to find that the church had been decorated for Christmas the morning of. Bonus lol. I even got the reception hall absolutely free as it was on the property where my cousin worked. And get this...i was only 21 years old! Level headedness wins the race! Still married, our 33rd anniversary is next week.
My younger sister found her dress and our bridesmaids dress in the JC Penny catalog too! I did alterations on her gown as she is just over 6 feet tall and the dress was way too short. I also made her veil.
This sounds a lot like my wedding. I was 21 and pregnant so instead of getting married the following year we bumped it up. I had 2 cousins who had recently been married so we used a lot of their decorations. My aunt did the flowers. I got my dress and my bridesmaid dress at the JCPenney closeout store (last seasons dresses). His dad was a preacher so he married us and that was free. His grandmother played the piano and his sister sang. Our friend was a photographer and took pictures as a gift. The only thing that really cost money was the cake and the veil. I wasn’t focused on that one day. I was focused on the days after. We spent our money on a new home. That was 28 years ago and we are still married. 💍
Sounds like my wedding 31 years ago. I did all the pearls and sequins on the bodice to save money. Took lace home and took it back to the dressmaker beaded. I also beaded my sister's veil a few years later. It was gorgeous.
Girl, I used to be friends with a girl like this bride. I was good enough for her to label me as her best friend for 3 years before her wedding. I was best friend enough to help with her plans, put up with her wedding drama, and so on. But when it came to bridesmaids, I was not best friend enough to be a bridesmaid because I wasn’t rail thin like every one of the girls she had stand up for her as her bridesmaids. But I was still best friend enough to be an usher at the church, use my video camera to film her wedding (for free btw), oh and a whole list of other stuff to do for her on her wedding day. Cause I was her best friend…. Yeah. I stopped speaking to her within a year after her wedding.
I don't know if you would call this a normal wedding, but when my husband and I got married we went to a drag club. We didn't have any "guests" except the people who happened to be at the club that evening. We got married by the DJ who was a licensed officiant. No drama. Just a quick wedding surrounded by strangers.
A wedding is ONE DAY, a marriage is forever. The latter is what’s important. My husband and I had a lovely, drama free wedding and are still happy 22 years later♥️
Had a no drama wedding. 50 people in an all-inclusive venue. Our siblings stood up with us, but no other wedding party. No children. Open bar. Very short speeches. Straight to buffet and dancing. Things go wrong but you roll with it and laugh it off. Honestly it’s so much like going into production, which you’ve already done!
We had one too. It was a very intimate wedding in our living room because we've spent a lifetime in that house. A lifetime of happy memories. And our daughter catered it, being a professional cook and all. I think we spent all of $1000 when all was said and done.
"But WAIT!.....there's more!" I got married in 2000, and my Matron of Honor, my twin sister, was 6 months pregnant with my niece. I knew that finding an expensive dress was pointless, since she was the only one in my party and I didn't see the point of making her buy a dress she'd likely never wear again. I told her my colors and wear what she wanted, as long as she was comfy. She had a simple yet adorable dress made with a removable belly panel that she could wear for anything else, pregnant or not. It worked out great! The shade of material she picked worked out perfectly because we're both redheads!
For balance, my bestie's wedding was amazing. She was the chillest bride. No MIL drama. Gorgeous ceremony, lovely reception, no drama at alll and as bridesmaid one of the best (and proudest) days of my life too 😊 it's definitely possible!
“This is supposed to be the happiest day of your life and you’re worried about your friends uterus?!” Hahahhaha that’s something I never expected to hear and I’m so glad I did. God I love your sense of humor Charlotte 😂 💜
There is actually a service where you can hire legit models to pose in bridesmaid photos at your wedding now. Some people are addicted to their social media image. There’s NOTHING worse than having to dredge through an Instagram wedding. Nothing.
I've interpreted several weddings and have been a bridesmaid. I'm so thankful for the cool ass people I know. One woman said her colors were black am blue..."wear whatever you want." My best friend literally picked out our dresses and shoes, made sure we could walk in them (my first time in heels 😅) and asked me to make the jewelry which I happily did. Why can't everyone be that simple and straightforward? Lol.
Agree but I think I'd prefer the no story after my parents... My parents ran away... After the ceremony was over with a billion different dramatic insane problems including but not limited to her needing a literal bodyguard, their wedding party not all being there and him pulling people out of the attendees that would fit shirts, and their being more strangers attending their wedding than invited guests. After they hadn't eaten because they were forced to continue taking pictures. After cutting the cake and never getting to eat any of it. And not having a car as he had crashed it the month before. A family friend walked up to my dad palmed him her keys. he grabbed my mom and her extra clothes and waved bye as they drove away. Long story short mine will be in our field and there are already friends volunteering who will be escorting any and all drama out before I have to deal with it. And if my girls wanna be pregnant all the power to ya just make sure ur dress is comfy and ur shoes don't hurt ur feet and let me know if any of the stress is too much and I will figure the rest out. Some people scare me with their wedding ideas about weight and other people's lives.
At my wedding my cousin, who is the reason me and my husband got together, was so drunk he couldn’t get home. He ended up sleeping on the floor of our bridal suite for the night. Woke up during the night to see he had used my gown as a blanket. The next morning when our champagne breakfast came up the people delivering it had to physically step over him. The whole thing was hilarious. 15 years later and he will never live it down. 100% was never even mad at him it was just too funny. Since then my husband and I have never paid to stay in a hotel for a family wedding and he always covers the room no matter what we say to him. He’s the best 😂
I had a wedding that went off without any problems. I still think so fondly of that day almost 10 years later. I found the bridesmaids' dresses at stores like Macy's and Lord & Taylor (no dress was over $150) and they did not look like typical bridesmaids dresses so they were able to wear them again to different occasions. Everyone styled their hair the way they wanted and wore shoes at the heel height they were comfortable with...flats (cool), sneakers for niece (heck yeah!). Everyone had a great time! People who were meeting for the first time were just vibing all night. We danced, drank, and ate. The food was so delicious, the music was poppin' and the open bar drinks were flowing. We did not have speeches, no cake cutting, no scheduled sit down dinner. People were literally running up to us and yelling "this is best wedding ever" and running off with a cupcake in hand! No drama! It was just absolutely wonderful and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
The biggest drama at my wedding was I had forgotten my cheque book at my parents house (about 45 min away) and had no way to pay my hair stylist, officiant, or music after they were done! This was before payment transfers were a thing (or trusted). Thankfully they were all understanding about the situation we were in. I mailed them all money orders a couple of days later, with much larger tips then I had originally planned as a last apology for not being able to pay them on the day.
I only had one maid of honor/bride's maid for my wedding - we kept it very chill. She's a 6'2" goddess, but there are not a ton of dresses for lovely ladies that tall. So I bought maybe 10 dresses online, had her try them on, narrowed it down, adjusted the size, everything. I cannot IMAGINE asking anything of her like this bride! Terrible.
My cousin stood up in my wedding and she's around 6' tall, but I also had my sister who is 5'3" stand up for me too. I picked the color, but I let them pick the style, whatever worked best for each of them. They actually ended up picking the same style and they both looked lovely and we were all happy! But I don't even know what sizes they got and I don't need to. And if either of them had gotten pregnant I would have been thrilled. So much drama over nothing with that bride!
I got married almost 30 years ago. No drama, but our Pastor almost dropped the rings. Without missing a beat in his speech, he did a quick juggling act and kept them in his hand. Amazing pastor, amazing day. Still happy. Keep the faith, girl!
I was a wedding harpist, and I can assure you Charlotte. Most weddings are not like the ones in your videos. They are positive, loving, sentimental celebrations of love. I also had the honor of being a bridesmaid for my beast friend and it was the best wedding I ever attended. Everything went great, I felt like shit the whole time because it turned out I had strep throat but didn't know it, but I managed to act as if nothing was wrong because I wasn't about to mess up her day. Happy to also say, I didn't get anyone else sick. I lost all my photos of her wedding due to a camera glitch which was just downright heartbreaking, but that year either for my birthday or Christmas, she gave me a wedding photo book and a CD with ALL of the photos taken at the wedding and rehearsals. She basically replaced all my photos of her wedding. That's how kind she is. So yeah, not all weddings are bridezillas and unhinged drama. I promise.
A friend, when asked "How could you be pregnant?"(clearly prepared for the stupidity of her family) promptly whipped out charts, diagrams, and printed data on the actual 'act' involved and offered pictures to illustrate the 'act'. :) Re: Your question about "normal" weddings - My cousin has been married four times. Every single one of her weddings has been lovely, sweet, everybody polite, a general good time. The marriages, not so much.
My husband I am got married in 1995. The only issue we had was that our organist (at my Presbyterian Church) refused to play Ava Maria because she considered it a Catholic song. Well...my husband is Catholic and his uncle (a Catholic Priest) was the co-officiant. Our soloist sang it acapella and it was beautiful. I get great joy each time I hear Ava Maria.
Idk why but apparently some Christians make it a point to be loudly anti-Catholic, unprompted. Superiority and being the most right for whatever reason.
That’s so gross! I can’t imagine not playing a requested song at someone’s WEDDING just because it was of a different religion than mine. I hope that lady got no tips lol
Charlotte has me glad I’m already married and that we just eloped. Cheap, easy, and stress free! Or, at least as stress-free as dealing with the government can be! Lol
Hubby and I got married in California. Our family all lived in the Deep South or the Midwest, so no one could involve themselves in the planning. They had only to show up. We had no bridesmaids or groomsmen. No maid of honor, no best man. We had ZERO problems. Just make it simple & ask no one for help. No need to elope if you’d rather celebrate with your families. Just keep them at arms length and insist you want to do this on your own. The problem comes in when you NEED their money to have the wedding. If that’s the case, yes…go elope. People who fund your wedding typically want involvement. It’s a trade off.
My wedding went off perfectly. My maid of honor didn’t order her dress when I asked her to-we had a last minute surprise bridesmaid-so we got two coordinated fancy dresses in a complimentary color. No ones dress fitted the same way, it didn’t matter. They all looked beautiful. Had a groomsman cancel at the last minute-no problem. Ring-bearer got a last minute upgrade, which made him feel special and looked adorable in the pictures. It’s all in how you address the missteps. They can be awful and one can let them ruin the day, or you can take the attitude of: how do I make this beautiful? And move forward. The best part of my wedding: Everyone had fun and I have beautiful memories of my friends and family, and fun memories to laugh over. I’d call that perfect.
Just got married 10/13/23! My wedding went so well. We had a backyard wedding at my MIL house. We did a road trip to TX for it! We woke up at 6 am and went to to work decorating, cooking, etc. The wedding was beautiful. It started on time. My bridesmaid and MOH (she married us) went outta there way to do everything for me, getting my lashes, doing hair & makeup. It was the best day of my life and my male best friend helped with music! And everything went just amazing. We spent like $2k for the whole wedding that included my dress, professional photographer, food, everything! Don't let this stuff fool you bc I'm spending the rest of my life with someone I love so so so much!
I had a similar wedding but even more paired down. Pretty much everything was donated to us or free: my MIL thrifted my dress, a friend made a beautiful headpiece for me, my SIL made our cake, another friend took photos and we were especially blessed to have a cousin that was a celebrant. We chose a spot on a quiet beach with some public picnic tables and barbecues, got married under a tree with no seats, no music, no flowers, no bridal party, just our friends and family gathered around us while we read our vows and signed the paperwork. Then we cooked up and ate a bunch of food that had been prepared/donated by some of our guest and just generally enjoyed each other for the afternoon. It was absolutely lovely and we spent around $300, including the $250 to register the paperwork.
Same family land, small, just wanted to marry my best friend. 15 years later I'm still happily married and I hope the same for you. Those that last understand what is the real priority.
My wedding had no drama and everything went smoothly. Then again I had no wedding party. Only MOH and best man. I had been a bridemaid a couple of times before so when it was my turn I decided that I would do without. It was a beautiful wedding and everybody was happy. No drunks, no fights and no hard feelings from anyone. It was really perfect.
These bridal stories always make me feel better about being single. My Mother (who wants grandchildren): “Sweetie! You’re such a kind and wonderful young woman! Why aren’t you married yet?” Me: “Well, mother. According to the internet, I’m a little too sane….” 😂
I always think that. How do these crazy, awful people get people to date, let alone PROPOSE, to them?! It makes no sense. Perfectly lovely people get looked over everyday for complete LUNATICS who make horrible partners. I don’t get it.
Imagine being a bridezilla going nuclear, then later watching Charlotte react to a video describing her very own lunacies. The meltdown and fallout would be glorious to behold. Would it be rage? Embarrassment? Both?
I got married in 2020, height of covid, in a small ceremony and reception. 15 guests max outdoor wedding. The entire thing went off without an issue. Everyone had an amazing time, and even the people in town celebrated us as we drove to the reception from the ceremony. My entire family attended via video call. It can happen that things just go well even if it wasnt exactly as planned.
I was a pregnant bridesmaid. When I told my girlfriend she was thrilled for me and helped me get a different dress that would “accommodate” me. I was so honored to stand up with her. ❤
The 1st bride seems to be the type of person that blames everyone for their shitty day. To them it's always that person's fault, his fault , her fault and never their own fault. But thankfully the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed.
It’s always the fault of the people who are unable to read the bride’s mind and “manifest” her delulu expectations. It could never be her fault for having champagne dreams on a beer budget or just being crazy.
All of my bridesmaids were very different sizes and shapes at my wedding. One was pregnant, and one had just had a baby. I was so happy to have them there with me, and they all looked beautiful. The story of the bride who wanted to police her bridesmaids' weight is insane. She sounds like a massive AH.
So for my wedding, I actually wanted my bridesmaids to wear their dresses again, so I told them to get any floor length green or black dress. Any color green, any fabric, I did not care. They all wanted to see my dress so they could gage what to get, I had been dreading dress shopping. Finally I just bought a $60 dress off Amazon and figured I’d try it out. It came 2 days later and I LOVED it. My wedding day comes, everyone looked STUNNING, and my photos were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.
When I had my wedding my younger sister had given birth three months earlier. I was stoked for her! My baby nephew was my ‘ring bearer’ (his Dad carried him down the aisle and he was wearing a little white onesie with a tiny green vest and bow tie to match my wedding colours, it was PRECIOUS!). I made sure her dress allowed her to wear the proper bra she needed and allowed for breastfeeding so the dress snapped open. Each of my bridesmaids had the ‘same’ dress but with the top half matching their body type - one had a one shouldered top, one was halter, one was thick strapped (for pregnancy bra and breast feeding). It’s literally not a big deal! The same happened at my SIL and brother’s wedding. We all had the ‘same’ dress with a big flower on it (it was GORGEOUS) that was placed differently for ew h of our body types - my sister has pretty much no chest, so her flower was on her bust; another had her flower on her waist; another had it on her shoulder, and another had it on the centre of her waist because she was newly pregnant and wanted to hide it.
When I got married (May 1987) My BFF/Matron of Honor, was preg with her first child. I was happy for her; but I did say "Please don't have your water break when you're walking down the aisle, okay? That's all I ask." We were concerned that since was her first baby, it may not come on the day she was due...Luckily, she had her baby in April, so it all worked out fine!
I got married back in 1994, one of my dearest friends was a bridesmaid and visibly 7 months pregnant. I knew in advance and was the reason the bridal party didn't wear heals. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of putting a very pregnant woman in high heels. My friendship has definitely lasted longer than the marriage.
During my boyfriend's wedding to his wife (they separated before we met, haven't divorced yet), the 5 or so kids that were there went missing during the reception while every adult there was drunk. Important note: the place they were holding the reception was in the woods. They eventually found the kids walking down the train tracks heading back towards town because they missed some family member that wasn't invited.
When we got married we kept it small and simple. My maid of honor was stressed because she was in 4 weddings that year and the cost of dresses🤦. I told her we would try to reuse a bridesmaid dress she had already paid for and had in her closet.... they were AWEFUL! Orange taffeta, head to toe denim & sparkling black halter (very tacky). I swear bride's chose terrible dresses for their friends!!! Anyway, I asked her what other dresses she had, and she had a lovely dark raspberry sundress! Done & Done! I wore a champagne dress (hate white). It turned out stunning!
My wedding was amazing!! Still the best wedding I've ever been to. (I might be biased.) Small wedding in my in-laws back yard, 40 people, 1 bridesmaid and groomsman who could wear whatever made them feel beautiful. In-Laws and neighbors cooked all the food. Only cost about $8K including my dress. One of the best memories of my life!
Got married in an island. 35 guests. Didnt have a cake, no photographer. At the end of the day we sat in the sauna (Yes we are Scandinavian), the officiant said it was the best day of his life. So yeah, It was great.
I am nearly 74 years old. In my lifetime thus far, I have been a guest, a member of the party, wedding planner, walked my daughter down the aisle while holding her 10 month old baby because her dad didn't want to condone her having had a baby out of wedlock, and paid for two weddings and wedding dresses. At no time have I EVER encountered anything like I have heard on Charlotte's channel. Who hurt these people to make them like this!? SMH. 😂😂😂❤❤❤😮😮😮
Yes, good weddings exist! The worst thing that happened at my best friend's wedding was that her husband-to-be forgot to pick up the flower bouquet on the way to the church. His best man and a bunch of bride maids immediately picked some wild flowers and raided a rose garden and fixed that issue. She also wasn't a bridezilla and nobody cheated on anyone. Yay!
@@sonamytmnt9783 exaggerated a bit. They took like three red roses. 😂 The rest was wildflowers, ribbons from the table decorations and a silver necklace draped over it to spruce up the bouquet. Turned out great for a 15-minute project.
I got married May 31st of this year and it was AMAZING and MAGICAL! No drama, just love all around. The worst thing that happened was a slight hiccup in the music before I walked down the aisle. I loved it so much. My husband got an orange kilt and I wore the most stunning sequined purple dress! There was some rain after the ceremony but it was an amazing day all around. No drama. No screaming, and all of the tears were happy tears. 💜🙏🧡
Miss Charlotte being confused about why a bride would “lose it” at finding out that two of her bridesmaids are pregnant like she ain’t done a slew (slough?) of bridezilla videos. 😉😂🤣
Yes, I've been watching Charlotte for ages and I don't think she's ever told a story about the CRAZIEST wedding she ever worked. I just presumed that the craziest wedding would be someone she still sees occasionally at social events who may or may not recognize themselves in the story. Plus, her style is more reactionary than storyteller BUT, now that it's been brought up and I'm sure we've ALL been very good followers of Charlotte this year, with just a few acts of pettiness doled out only to people who deserved it, hell, they practically BEGGED for the petty hammer to fall, so maybe Charlotte could gift us with a story(ies) of the worst 'zilla weddings she ever photographed!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Miss Charlotte. (I'm from the Deep South and I'm 58 years old, raised with proper Southern manners, where we "ma'am and sir or Miss or Mr." people to death. There's been such an influx of Northerners down here that most of those manners are almost gone. Kids don't even call their parents Mama and Daddy anymore, it's Mom or Dad. I know plenty of you will think that's because they're not small children anymore and I would posit something the "Rock" Dwayne Johnson would often say, "I DON'T CARE what your candy ass thinks", Mama and Daddy are warm, loving ways to address your parents regardless of age. I would also posit that while our Southern accent is often used for comedic purposes, it's also exquisite if used properly to convey anger, disgust, or derision. Just search UA-cam for the best Julia Sugerbaker rants and you'll understand, her rants are comedic to the audience, but trust me, there's not a damn thing funny about it if you're on the receiving end of one. And, the person giving the rant better not see a smile or a smirk, because the politeness will get sucked right out of the room only to be replaced with penetrating silence and a coldness that reaches so deep inside, your blood does indeed run cold, and ice almost encapsulates your vital organs, regardless of the temperature outside. I've given and received such rants, and I promise that's the truth. The only reason the South remains a "red" state politically is the wealthy Northerners who used to be called "snowbirds" because they'd come down to the South to escape the frigid temperatures of their home state and they'd go back home when the heat would push the temperature into 3 digits Fahrenheit or high 30s or low 40s Celsius. However, the cost of living was such that they could afford to stay year-round so they moved permanently. And, then their kids would come to visit, and they'd find out that their Mama and Daddy weren't lying about the cost of living, pretty soon we started having gated communities. Locals were finding access to their favorite childhood lakes restricted unless they paid a fee or joined a c😊
A few years ago my friend asked me to be her bridesmaid, we were over the moon. She was very entitled from a child so I braced myself for what was to come. I never expected her to tell me to lose weight before her wedding day 😔 I had not long gave birth to my son and my daughter was only 13 months older than my son. She bought my dress way too small because it was on sale. She told me I'd have to work hard to fit in to it by her wedding date. We never spoke again!
My wedding was in my mother's back yard on Halloween. There were seven guests. It's was great. We ate food that my hubbs and I made together and carved pumpkins.
Married 10 years here. Ideally, your wedding should be fun for you, your spouse, and your friends and family, but it should NOT be the best day in your lives as a couple! A random day several years in when you’re doing something you both love to do and making each other laugh a lot and realizing you love them more now then ever - THAT is the best day. And then some time later will be another best day. And then another. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself for your wedding (or wedding night or anything else you’re worried about). If you’re with the right person, you will have a lifetime of best days.
Exactly! My wedding day was amazing and the drama we had was due to my fancy cake nearly toppling over, but thankfully it was caught in time. We laughed about that then and still do now. Amazing what happens when you're focused on becoming a family vs perfect pictures of a single day.
We eloped this summer with only a few immediate family. We said our nuptials as the beach then went to my mom’s for apps and drinks. It was perfect, stress free and very, very affordable. I highly recommended!
So I got married this fall and it was drama free and beautiful. I told my bridesmaids that I would like a fall colour scheme for their dresses (shades of yellow, orange, red, dark green, etc.) but other than that they can choose whatever they want. It was a partial DIY wedding so the bridesmaids arrived the day before and helped setting up and decorating and one of them told me then that she was pregnant. I was so overjoyed for her, I started jumping around and crying from joy. Such amazing news! And she only knew for a little over a week herself, so everything was super new and exciting. It was so lovely!
In response to your question "Does any wedding go off without a hitch?", my wife and I got married 14 years ago at my church. It was really small and nice. We spent like, $20-40 on the whole thing. She also got baptized into my church on the same day. Still together today 😊
I was 37 weeks pregnant at my brother's wedding and apart from people asking questions for maybe 5min (like casual small talk before the wedding) and me missing out on booze, it was a very normal thing at the wedding.
I'm sick of people who seem to think that the wedding actually equates to the marriage!!! They are two totally different things, and the sooner folk realise that, the happier they'll be in the end. It's the marriage that counts, not how much you spend on the day or whether the bridesmaids' dresses, hair and make-up match. Grow up ladies.
I had a fabulous wedding . Everything went without a hitch, nobody fought with anybody , everyone looked gorgeous and best of all everyone had a great time. So much so that at the agreed finish people passed a hat and raised money to keep the party going 😂. My husband and I , with the rest of the wedding party were the last to leave . We had a blast and have fabulous memories as well!
Let's start a new trend! Every groom asks every bridesmaid to report on how she treated them before he would actually accept her walking down the aisle.
The biggest drama at my wedding was that my hubby (groom) had packed his black socks and had to wear brown with his grey tux. As for my bridesmaids, I didn't care about their size, height, hair colour etc. The dresses' hem lines were done for what looked good on them with their heels. End of story. They were my closest friends, I wanted them happy, they wanted me happy and we all had a great time.
Besides the fact this is a totally crazy story... I really love how this woman handled herself with class andbdignity in the face of a totally materialistic, narcissistic, bride from hell! As well as how she told the story and from the point of view of everyone involved. She's very articulate and a great Storyteller that was just wild! If she's reading this? Girl? I have the utmost respect for you for sticking to your professional business contractual agreements at the same time trying to accommodate some of the ladies that did not have unreasonable requests regarding their sizing and trying to keep that psycho bride in check and not take her Head Off! I couldn't do what you did that's for sure! You're being very diplomatic and very kind and understanding! If that was ME? That bride would be in some big ass trouble treating me like that! I wish you all the best with your business and keep telling stories, that was a Whopper I really enjoyed it! At least you gained some cool new authentic girlfriends so that's great! I truly believe everything happens for a reason and hopefully you'll continue your friendship with these gals and they'll bring positivity to your life and vice versa! ✌💕🇨🇦 @ladyk_love
When I got married, I told the girls It needs to be this particular color, wear whatever dress in which YOU feel pretty (just not slutty lol). It worked out beautifully, and everyone was happy
My two bridemaids were both different body types. Ones larger, busty, and taller, while my other is smaller, skinny, and shorter. They both looked incredible in the dress i chose for them, they looked like goddesses. I literally have loved every picture i had with them. Also the only things that "went wrong." At my wedding was that every walmart in the area was out of fried chicken, and that everyone was taking beer and other alcohol out of their cars and drinking it over the hill behind the pavilion. But it was fun, I played softball in my wedding dress and had a blast
Just wanted to offer an example of a wedding going well, because you asked. My wedding was great! It was a much more low key event than what it seems a lot of people in these videos try to pull off. We took husband and wife pictures a week before the actual wedding. My father-in-law is actually big into photography, so he took those. Day of, we had a ceremony at a local temple mid-morning and then took pictures with the wedding party/family (this time with my cousin taking the pictures). Then my family put on a luncheon at a park, just for our two families. My mom and aunts hand-made most of the decorations and also made all the food. We had a reception in the evening where my wife had hand-made all of the decorations. My sister made the wedding cake, and it turned out great. Then, my cousins--licenced fireworks technicians--hooked up fireworks to the ignition of my car. So when we turned the car on to drive away at the end of the night a bunch of fireworks went off behind us. Then we drove up to a cabin in the mountains for our honeymoon. So yeah, very low key, very low budget, but also VERY low drama. And this next year my wife and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary.
As someone who has been married for nearly 16 years, I was 22 when I got married and I was a bit of a bridezilla but all this time later it doesn’t matter. When my son was born was the most important day of my life and my husband’s. If I went back now I’d elope lol or have a very small wedding.
At my wedding in1975 I wanted blue and white. My 6 bridesmades were in differing financial status. I told them that I wanted blue dresses. I didnt care what shade. I talked to each one alone. Told them that I understand the financial issues and my Dad was able to actually pay for their dresses. He was saving from the time I started working. I gave him a bit of my check as a way to pay for the use of the car my dad helped me get. He was sneaky and opened up an account at the bank with my name as a trustee. So it helped us pay for the girls dresses. They actually paid &10.00. At the reception, I gave them a Thank you card with $20.00. It was awesome.

I went to a wedding many years ago and the Best Man's wife was heavily pregnant. Nobody cared about that as it's part of life. At the reception during dinner she went into labour, was hauled out in an ambulance. The Bride & Groom were thrilled to get a phone call that they had a nephew. To the wedding party, it was another reason to celebrate. That is how it should be.
My thoughts exactly. Finding out your friends are pregnant when you are getting married is even more reason to celebrate.
I was 8 and a half months pregnant at my cousin's wedding. I was nervous I would go into labor on her big day. (I did 2 weeks later so it was all good)
That was before instagram huh? 😂
@@lyndsaymoehrmansame here it sounds more like a good sign that your marriage will produce growth or fertility
YESSSSS!! EXACTLY!! ITS BEAUTIFUL!❤
I love that that one bridesmaid saw all the commotion at the wedding and ran over to throw fuel in the fire "I'M PREGNANT TOO!" 😂😂😂😂🙌👏
I laughed so loud at that part 🤣🤣🤣
This woman is such a champion, she was just squaring up against a bully with her comrade-in-baby.
@@msc2232”comrade in baby” made me wheeze
That would be fantastic!!! 😂
Completely agree!!! She wasn’t going to let the other pregnant woman go down by herself! Pregnant women unite!!!
As someone who’s recovered from an eating disorder, I would walk away from the entire friendship if this happened to me.
My friend was an absolute sweetheart when I had issues with unexpected weight gain from medication during her wedding and instead of making a big deal of it, she was encouraging and helped me pick a new dress that worked for my weight gain and new body shape. She stayed super supportive (I went from a 00 to a size 6 so it was a massive change to me mentally) and by the end of her wedding, I felt so confident in my new body because she made me feel so beautiful as did all the other bridesmaids.
That's awesome! We all need a friend like that. ♥
You are beautiful no matter what. I'm so proud of you for your recovery!! I'm in ED recovery too, and the feelings you're talking about are completely normal. That's the disease.. but, You chose yourself, and you won, my Love 🥹🫶🏻
Your friend is a keeper!! 🥰
Most women would be content being a size 6! I’m sure you looked lovely.
As another person who has also recovered from eating disorders, I'm learning to love my body again and I'm starting to listen to everyone who said NOT that I was beautiful before or beautiful after or putting any timestamp on it... everyone who said I was beautiful no matter what I looked like. My favorite people laugh with me when I say "if I looked like this?" or "if I turned into an earthworm?" and say "no matter what".
I love the shopkeeper's dive into supporting the women who are under such scrutiny from this delusional bride, not just with professionalism, but empathy and absolute grace and sense of humor in this wild debacle.
Wow. Good for you. I’ll bet you looked great as a size 6. But I hear you, as someone who has been naturally skinny most of my life, at on point I out on a lot of weight, & it was crushing. I have lost it, but I totally understand how you feel.
The bridal store owner has ethics and kindness. I love her!!!
She's just lovely! I follow her on Tik Tok and she's got some great stories! Lol
Me too! And a savvy business owner - she's absolutely correct about potential lawsuits (30+ year paralegal), Any of the bridesmaids could sue for breach of contract (and would win) and the fact that the bride doesn't care is just disgusting.
Does anyone know if kasia has an instagram? I don’t have tik tok and was looking to see more of her videos.
@@elliscraneI drafted a lot of Rent/Possessions and Breaches of Contracts.
While a good business head, it also seems to be common sense…not aiding and abetting forced diets is probably a good idea. 😂😂😂😂
Then why would she change the dress sizes without the bride knowing for the two pregnant girls? I thought it was a contract that had to be signed by both the bride and the bridesmaid...
One of my bridesmaids was 4 months pregnant at my wedding, and I would never even have considered it a problem. In fact, when her lovely daughter was born and older, we used to tell her that my wedding was the first wedding she had ever attended. Other people have Flower Girls, I had a little bud waiting to bloom in my wedding party. ❤
This is soooo cute ❤
Awwwwwww
❤❤❤ what a heart warming attitude
This is so cute, I could cry!! 😭🫶🏻🥹
Aweeeee❤thats so cute🥺❤
At my wedding, (I am a male) two of my friends from my time I was studying and whom I saw once a year or so at that time showed up. One with a little bumb because she was the second time pregnant and surprised me with it. I was so happy for her.
Later, while we had the party, the second friend told me in secret, that she was pregnant too, but it was very early, almost no one (aside from their parents) knew about it, because she lost the first child and it was still the first critical months - but she wanted to tell me already, because it was my wedding.
That was the best wedding gift I got. I cried a little bit in joy for them (yes, I am a grown up men of 2 meters and 120kg and still I cried) and tried to remain calm, so nobody else noticed it.
I knew about their wish for a baby and knew about their loss earlier. What could have been a bether gift then such a message?
The guests where all family and friends. I wanted them to attend they wedding as they are, because that´s how I (or bether, we, my wife and I) love them and why we invited them the first place - and not be, behave or look as something they don´t were, just for a few wedding pictures.
That right there.... You fine sir, are a gentleman and a great friend. Your wife is very blessed to have a husband like you. I love that both of you didn't want all of your guests to look a certain way. Whether it's friends or family, everyone is created in their own way and for their own reason.
The fact that these friends wanted the pregnancy keeping secret from the bride in the first place tells you everything you need to know about this woman.
Agreed!
Facts!
My sister knew our sister-in-law was pregnant for her wedding. Then i ended up pregnant, i was scared to tell her... I ended up having to tell her because I was a bridesmaid. Her response, why did you have to get pregnant now. 😳 Thankfully, she moved on but I feel your statement.
@kimwells8395 aw bless you, kinda your business when you raise a family!! Hope all was OK for you and baby.
@@jackb1969this mindset makes no sense. You are in a wedding when you are asked, in order to support the bride. How is being pregnant “rude” or a disqualification for being a bridesmaid? You act like it’s a formal job and it can’t be performed if they’re growing a human? 🤣 If they felt uncomfortable telling the bride, that speaks volumes about the level of selfishness of the bride and stand in support of her on her wedding day. If a person can’t be happy for a friend creating a life, she’s a $hitty friend. Period.
This whole thing is bananas. Tell me you’ve never heard “no” without telling me. That store owner sounds like the nicest lady with good customer service. Poor thing had to deal with all that nastiness.
God and imagine treating your FRIENDS like that. AND IM A PUSHOVER
She really is, she's a very professional woman with a "take no shit" attitude. You really have to be with clients like that! Those are the bratty children that grew up to be entitled.
Her tik tok stories are great
@@ahoward3503z
She sounds like such a doll, she didn't deserve that.
I LOVE that dress-shop owner!! Bravo on doing the right thing and having integrity. I hope the bridesmaids never give that vapid, thieving bride the time of day ever again.
Charlotte, you say everything I’m thinking. Thanks for being a voice of reason in this crazy-a** world!!!
"How can you be pregnant at my wedding" - the sheer AUDACITY of the bride . 😂 .
And she wasn’t even upset about them being pregnant at the wedding but at being seen with pregnant bridesmaids on Instagram!!! 🤷🏻♂️
AU👏DA👏CI👏TY👏
My bestie was 8 months pregnant at my wedding. She was huge and beautiful. I would never have been angry. That was 1990 and we are still the best of friends.
Maybe they announced it at the weddding.
Thats a nono
More likely the first pregnant bridesmaid skipped booze at the reception and someone noticed.
Do not fear! I got married 5 days ago and it was beautiful! No drama, no drunks, no fights, just 2 loving families coming together!
Our secret....we only had 18 guests ❤❤
We had no drama etc in our wedding of 55 people, secret is to have only people who are involved of your daily lifes. Yes, it means no relatives who you have never heard, nor haven't seen in a couple of years... This did cause drama before wedding, but luckily it was covid time so it was easy to justify ;) (and we made decision, that if we haven't talked in two years, then no invite to our wedding)
If we got married, the party would just be a get together literally everyone getting drunk 😂
Congratulations!! Big or Small, as long as there's no drama at weddings it's a SUCCESS!
Have a great marriage!❤🎉
We kept it small as well just 10 ppl n our 2 kids n I was expecting our 3rd n we had a BBQ at home.....we've been together for 20+ years .... congrats as well
Congratulations 🎉 wishing all the best to you and your partner!
I'm legit GASPING at the utter audacity of that bride! I'm currently planning my wedding, and my girls are all sizes, and I'm STOKED that they're going to be in comfy dresses that they all feel confident and happy in. I would never try to get them to change how they look for me, that's so insane! I love them all just the way they are, and am so proud and honored to have them stand by my side...and drink endless margaritas and eat mashed potatoes at the reception with them haha!
Girllll are we the same??? Same!! I’m getting married the 21st of this month and I feel the exactly same and we will also be eating mashed potatoes 😂❤
@brooklyncozart1604 congratulations, darlin'!!! And enjoy aaalllll the potatoes!! 😁😁😁
That’s the way it should be. Beautiful.
I think weddings don't just bring out the worst in people, they just amplify what you truly are. I give that first marriage 10 minutes.
Exactly. My brother just got married a couple months ago. Outdoor wedding, summer. It fucking poured. Like torrential downpour. The deejay didn’t show up, last minute.. like.. 5 min before the bride was to walk down the aisle to her song he was supposed to play. The lady who was doing our bridesmaid dress alterations died. The best man didn’t show up. The spa and beauty salon who was supposed to do our nails, pedicures, and spray tans the day before double booked and couldn’t fit us in when we showed up, and the makeup artist was in an car accident on the way to our bridal suite that morning!! Along with like 40 other “minor” things compared to all those major things. My brother and his wife were literally like…. What the hell else could go wrong lol and just started laughing it all off. They were such troopers man, and we ended up making it all work… and they ended up having a great time. Looking back now, when we tell people who were there everything that went wrong, they all say “wow we had no idea!! Everything seemed so perfect and you were so happy!”.. and I’m so glad that we didn’t let those things ruin their day. It was crazy in the moment but we made it happen lol
Exactly!! Weddings are kinda like when people come into money; it doesn’t corrupt exactly, it exacerbates what’s there, especially when it comes to how people deal with public image and stress.
This right here
Agreed!@@monroerobbins7551
First marriage 😂😂😂😂😂 perfect!
My bridesmaids thought I was nuts because I didnt really care how the photos looked or anything else, I cared more about whether they felt comfortable and beautiful in their dresses 😂 The lion, the witch and the AUDACITY OF THIS B-
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wasn’t ready for the ending but I love caring people and comfy bridesmaids. ❤
I'm using that last line😂😂😂
"The lion, the witch and the AUDACITY OF THIS B-"
This made my day! 😂
Same! I chose a color and asked them to choose a style they wanted, paid for that and their hair and makeup and had a great day! Well, my dad pissed off my aunt (my mom's best friend) on the drive across the state and now my aunt doesn't talk to my parents anymore, but that's not on me 🤷🏼♀️.
Me either! It was my second marriage, my husband's first marriage and his parents wanted to pay for it. My mother in law loves doing things like that, so I let her plan everything. The only thing that mattered to me is that I married the man I love. There were no issues whatsoever. It was beautiful!
I did have 2 women at my wedding that were both due any day!! But no one went into labor that day!
The only wedding I was a bridesmaid at actually did go off without a hitch. Most laid-back bride ever (not surprising, knowing this woman!). Location: alma mater chapel. Pretty enough on its own not to need flowers. Dresses: bridesmaids were not only in different states but in different countries, so she mailed us paint samples and told us to get a knee-length dress in that color, no strapless. Everyone followed instructions. Bride's dress was gorgeous. She wore matching high-top keds with it. No notes. Reception: the bridal party all wore silly hats into the dining hall (which was on the same campus as the chapel). She hired a local DJ and he played Vitamin String Quartet throughout the meal (cue the entire reception singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody). Food was good. Table decor was mostly bought at Dollar Tree and looked great. I honestly think the only thing in the entire wedding that the bride splashed out for was her dress and the hand-painted fans that she had her bridesmaids carry instead of flowers - they were personalized for each of us with things we liked! Very nice bridesmaid gift. Got our hair done separately, none of us knows how to put on makeup so we didn't bother with most of it. Only interruption: ice cream truck showed up on the campus during the rehearsal dinner, so we got ice cream! Lovely day. I wish all weddings could be that laid-back.
My daughter and her husband were in the middle of their vows at an outdoor wedding when it started raining HARD. We had umbrellas that didn't help, but they just laughed and continued the wedding inside. Everyone had a great time despite the rain. It all depends on the bride's and groom's attitudes, and they just wanted their family and friends to share their big day with them ... even soaking wet.
I believe when things like ✨that✨ happen during your wedding ceremony or reception, that is the indication that the marriage will flourish. Absolutely lovely!
@@Mrsayegeeespecially if you can just laugh about it either during or even after
This happened to me. I cried first but then pulled it together. The venue did a great job reorganizing for an indoor wedding we started over and it was beautiful. Twenty years later when we argue one of us will still say “You had two chances to say no” We laugh and the argument ends.
I was pregnant when I served as matron of honor in my best friend's wedding. We had planned to get pregnant earlier, but when she called me and told me she was getting married, we waited a few months, so that I was only about 3 months along when she got married. However, I had "blossomed" up top; all my best friend did was compliment me on how beautiful I looked in the dress she had picked out for us. That's class!
My sister deliberately ruined my dress for her wedding. It was really weird, the dress fit perfectly when I first arrived (from interstate) to the fitting. Then they gave it to me ruined. They made me pay for it, and there was no time to fix it. But I smiled and pretended it was all fine, throughout the day. I later learned that it had been ruined deliberately, when I gave it to another dressmaker to fix. She said that it had a weird lining inside it that was sewn with zigzags back and forth, so that it would tightly crease and crush. I don't understand ANY of it, and I would have gladly not attended, if that's she what she wanted. Linda Mogg was the dressmaker/ruiner.
I’m a wedding photographer and I can tell you most of the 300+ I’ve photographed are drama-free. I’ve had a few craaaazy moments, but my clients are the BEST. I think it’s because I operate mostly word-of-mouth and only book with people who seem kind and genuine.
As a fellow photographer, I do an engagement shoots as an interview. If we don’t vibe, I don’t do the shoot. Simple.
And same, most of my work is word of mouth.
Good policy!
@@nadianolan2970this is brilliant and now I'm curious if our photographer did the same thing. 🤣 We had so much fun doing the engagement shoot that I can't imagine the people who would be pre-fired as clients. Have you ever pre-fired a couple? How did you let them know?
I wanna know the craaaaazy moments!!
As someone who worked in customer service specifically checkIn per 100~150 passangers there is 1 ahole
…so 5 or 6 at a A380
Most passengers were ok but as I had 2 flights a day I had a story about a stubborn or crazy or delusional passanger every day…
Like the one that said he doesn’t needed a passport to go to Canada…
That he only needed to talk to them because he knows people…
„Sir my computer-CheckIn-System has no field for ‚knowing people“ only for your passportnumber and without i won’t even let me send your luggage down nor print you your ticket.“
… he then wanted to block my counter until I just did what he „the customer“ wanted
At first I questioned why that lady's friends wanted to keep their pregnancies a secret. Then as she showed her bridezilla nature it made way more sense. They were probably terrified that if they told her they were pregnant, rather than celebrating with them she'd uninvite them for not looking as slim as she apparently wanted everyone to work.
So proud of you for standing your ground. What’s right is right. What’s wrong is wrong. No tantrum changes wrong to be right. Remember that ladies. Can you imagine what the partner would feel if they knew you cared more about looks than people? 😢
Back in the 80’s I was maid of honor for my best friend . I was heavily pregnant with my first child and the photographer kept putting me in the back by the way I’m very short. My friend kept pulling me back up front saying she is in the front thank you very much. ❤❤
Yeah what is wrong with people?! There is nothing wrong with being pregnant OR being a thick lady. That would have been really upsetting for me if a photographer did something like that.
That's exactly what normal ppl act like.
That’s a great friend. She loves you.
If I had a "friend" I had to hide my pregnancy from I sure as heck wouldn't ever consider being her bridesmaid.
Don’t go victim blaming now.😉 Let’s keep in mind that the bridesmaids are not to blame for the 💩ty personality of the bride. I’ve overlooked a lot for the sake of a friendship but nothing as extreme as this so I hear ya!
They don’t have to tell her right away that they are. The bride would probably assume they are trying to upstage her. By the story it sounds like that’s how she would respond. As a friend I’m there to support you on your day and afterwards I’ll let you know I’m expecting.
@@davidguidry657umm, I don't think they were blaming the bridesmaids...they just said they don't wanna be a bridesmaid to someone they have to hide their pregnancy from...
@@davidguidry657Its not victim blaming. Its telling people to value themselves to save their own sanity.
@@nousernamesarevalid I can get behind that.
Why do these brides care so much about how their bridesmaids look like??? I chose my bridesmaids based on closeness and my relationship with them. I would never think to make someone change their appearance. This just floors me.
That bride is a NIGHTMARE. I had a gazillion bridesmaids (10) with a big variety in height and size, and they all looked BEAUTIFUL. I legitimately can't imagine doing something so cruel like trying to force everyone to lose weight for your wedding. She essentially said that none of them were good enough for her or her wedding. What an awful friend and person.
I love how Charlotte has done thousands of videos about bridezillas - but then she's confused about why the bride wasn't supposed to find out two of her bridesmaids were pregnant 😂 Charlotte, you're the sweetest 🥰
I know. I just love that about her. She and have have that in common. Just WANT to believe in the good in everyone. Ik it’s there… somewhere.
It’s the wholesome naïveté for me! 🥰
Omg I was just about to write this exact thing 😂😂😂
Ya. I was like, have you not watched your videos
@@Shadow-Shellright? All of us were like “oh I know why.”
I got married two months ago with very little drama, went off without a hitch, and was gifted a honeymoon 💜 it’s all about perspective and looking at the big picture.
As the bridesmaid who had an ideal "size" to get to by the wedding date, ironically I lost too much weight and was asked to step down because I was "smaller" than the bride
Whaaaaaaaat that's ridiculous
How is this a reality? Just crazy..
That's crazy... I wouldn't have any bridesmaids if I was worried about them being smaller than me. People need to get over themselves.
Are you still friends with the bride after all that?
@@cocobrowny no we're not still friends but this isn't the reason why.
My wedding had zero drama. Not one single hitch. The bridesmaids loved their dresses, the price was decided by them to ensure they weren't overspending. They wore shoes they already had. I bought them jewelry so they would have what I wanted them to wear. Shower was a fun, chill affair. You can treat people you love well and still have an amazing, fabulous day.
I'm fairly certain your husband is loving his life much more than the husband of this bride.😅😅😅
My wedding was also good. Of course, we just had our moms with and ogt married at the court house :)
Yea that's what happens if you actually like your friends xD congrats on a fantastic wedding.
Grateful to say my wedding was also issue-free and awesome! Take heart, Charlotte and others - it is possible!
This story is absolutely wild. What a horrible human being. I fee so sorry for those bridesmaids. This designer/seamstress is such a cool person. Good for her for standing her ground.
I got married 2010 in the backyard of the first home we purchased together. I was wearing a blue summer dress with blue flowers. It was small and intimate with family and friends. Catered by my spouse who is a chef mind you. I told my bridesmaids wear what they want as long as it’s nice and comfortable. It was a great wedding. You don’t need to go all out for a wedding.
Sounds lovely 😍
My brother & SIL had a wedding like that - one of my all-time favourites!
This is the key to a great day! Just enjoy the day, keep it low key, don’t sweat the smell details!
Your wedding sounds perfect. You sounded very mellow and that you wanted everyone to be happy and comfortable. I cannot understand brides who are completely delulu with unreasonable expectations of the bridesmaids and how everyone will look. Plus, the costs of these wedding seem to get more and more expensive. Have good tasting food (your husband being a chef was great), some nice alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages, so everyone is happy. I’m sure people remember your wedding with happy memories bcz of the lack of drama and that you had the wedding that you wanted.
One of my best friends was just TRYING to get pregnant at the time we did the bridesmaid dress fittings so we chose a size bigger and a dress that she could alter to fit around a tummy. This bride is LITERALLY insane.
when my childhood bestie got married she asked me to be her maid of honor. I was thrilled! I am a 'bigger' woman AND I was pregnant. She changed plans for her bridesmaid's dresses just to accommodate my pregnancy. I was 8 months pregnant when she got married and the wedding was beautiful. My 2-year-old son even got to help me with my speech by figuring out that his voice could be heard through the mic and loved it. I named my daughter after her. We are now both just turning 50 and our kids are grown and we are still the bestest friends ever. THAT is friendship. (Love you Tatum)
My wedding was 100% drama free. We ran away. It was the two of us, the priest and 2 strangers as witnesses. Perfect. Highly recommend.
So true. Sing it
This is fire ❤ this should be everyone s wedding
My husband and I flew to San Fran, rented a car, drove to Carson city NV to pick up a license, then on to Lake Tahoe where we got married just the two of us, the minister and his wife, at 7:30 pm on a Sunday night as the sun was setting. We have been married now over 36 yrs. Best decision we’ve ever made.
We didn’t need witnesses. It was just the officiant, my husband, and I.
My husband and I got engaged after three weeks of dating and married five months later.
The wedding was small but we had a huge party the next day which was informal and fun. Everything went well with no drama and 48years later we’re still happy together.
For that first story, I've never been involved in the dress buying process of a wedding (even tho I was in my second-older sister's wedding party) but I HAVE gone prom dress shopping in the past, and let me tell you, as a bigger girl, finding a dress that fits and fits COMFORTABLY is hard. It was last minute for me, and I still had to get alterations done on the dress, and it's WAY more difficult to add material than to remove material in alterations. Props to that bridal store owner for doing the right and legal thing.
As a bigger lady myself, and someone who isn't confident, I would struggle with just standing there in sight of everyone, never mind wearing something that bursts at the seams. These brides were disgusting
My sister's wedding was incredibly smooth and drama free. She let us pick out our own dresses and colors. She said she wanted us all to feel beautiful. She and her now husband paid for the wedding themselves. Planned it all and his family was good about it, as we're my parents. They've been married for 18 years and still going strong. We all thought she'd be a bridezilla. But, she was completely opposite of that. She was really kind and considerate. In her normal, day to day life, she is extremely picky, particular and can be a handful. But, she was so happy and the wedding didn't faze her. She asked for my our opinion and went along with almost all of our suggestions.it was such a good wedding. The vibes were so chill and so good. We ran into one of the wedding guests, we hadn't seen in a few years. She told my sister, it was the best wedding she had been to and she asked my sisters about the planning and how she did it, because her daughter is getting married and she wants her daughters wedding to be just as fun and beautiful as my sisters had been.
I can proudly say that I was not a bridezilla about my wedding 33 years ago. DIY wedding, found great deals through family and friends, never went over budget, no issues with bridesmaids' sizes...I purchased my dress (as well as bridesmaids dresses) through the JC Penney bridal catalog, absolutely no alterations needed. I paid a DJ with my own paycheck, i figured out costs ahead of time and I bought silk flowers, etc and made all the bouquets, corsages, and boutineers. I asked my dad for $1,500. I handled all the finances for the wedding. My wedding was on December 15 and we were surprised to find that the church had been decorated for Christmas the morning of. Bonus lol. I even got the reception hall absolutely free as it was on the property where my cousin worked. And get this...i was only 21 years old! Level headedness wins the race! Still married, our 33rd anniversary is next week.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My younger sister found her dress and our bridesmaids dress in the JC Penny catalog too! I did alterations on her gown as she is just over 6 feet tall and the dress was way too short. I also made her veil.
This sounds a lot like my wedding. I was 21 and pregnant so instead of getting married the following year we bumped it up. I had 2 cousins who had recently been married so we used a lot of their decorations. My aunt did the flowers. I got my dress and my bridesmaid dress at the JCPenney closeout store (last seasons dresses). His dad was a preacher so he married us and that was free. His grandmother played the piano and his sister sang. Our friend was a photographer and took pictures as a gift. The only thing that really cost money was the cake and the veil. I wasn’t focused on that one day. I was focused on the days after. We spent our money on a new home. That was 28 years ago and we are still married. 💍
Congratulations! Heres to many many more happy years together🎉
Sounds like my wedding 31 years ago. I did all the pearls and sequins on the bodice to save money. Took lace home and took it back to the dressmaker beaded. I also beaded my sister's veil a few years later. It was gorgeous.
Girl, I used to be friends with a girl like this bride. I was good enough for her to label me as her best friend for 3 years before her wedding. I was best friend enough to help with her plans, put up with her wedding drama, and so on. But when it came to bridesmaids, I was not best friend enough to be a bridesmaid because I wasn’t rail thin like every one of the girls she had stand up for her as her bridesmaids. But I was still best friend enough to be an usher at the church, use my video camera to film her wedding (for free btw), oh and a whole list of other stuff to do for her on her wedding day. Cause I was her best friend…. Yeah. I stopped speaking to her within a year after her wedding.
Good for you. It should have been even sooner 😢
@@AlissaSss23💯💯
how awful - at least you don't have to be her "best friend" any more.
I don't know if you would call this a normal wedding, but when my husband and I got married we went to a drag club. We didn't have any "guests" except the people who happened to be at the club that evening. We got married by the DJ who was a licensed officiant. No drama. Just a quick wedding surrounded by strangers.
A wedding is ONE DAY, a marriage is forever. The latter is what’s important. My husband and I had a lovely, drama free wedding and are still happy 22 years later♥️
Had a no drama wedding. 50 people in an all-inclusive venue. Our siblings stood up with us, but no other wedding party. No children. Open bar. Very short speeches. Straight to buffet and dancing. Things go wrong but you roll with it and laugh it off. Honestly it’s so much like going into production, which you’ve already done!
We had one too. It was a very intimate wedding in our living room because we've spent a lifetime in that house. A lifetime of happy memories. And our daughter catered it, being a professional cook and all. I think we spent all of $1000 when all was said and done.
"But WAIT!.....there's more!"
I got married in 2000, and my Matron of Honor, my twin sister, was 6 months pregnant with my niece. I knew that finding an expensive dress was pointless, since she was the only one in my party and I didn't see the point of making her buy a dress she'd likely never wear again. I told her my colors and wear what she wanted, as long as she was comfy. She had a simple yet adorable dress made with a removable belly panel that she could wear for anything else, pregnant or not. It worked out great! The shade of material she picked worked out perfectly because we're both redheads!
For balance, my bestie's wedding was amazing. She was the chillest bride. No MIL drama. Gorgeous ceremony, lovely reception, no drama at alll and as bridesmaid one of the best (and proudest) days of my life too 😊 it's definitely possible!
“This is supposed to be the happiest day of your life and you’re worried about your friends uterus?!” Hahahhaha that’s something I never expected to hear and I’m so glad I did. God I love your sense of humor Charlotte 😂 💜
There is actually a service where you can hire legit models to pose in bridesmaid photos at your wedding now. Some people are addicted to their social media image. There’s NOTHING worse than having to dredge through an Instagram wedding. Nothing.
@@tiffany_greeneyes4901 the bride should have hired this service if she wanted that aesthetic in her wedding.
I've interpreted several weddings and have been a bridesmaid. I'm so thankful for the cool ass people I know. One woman said her colors were black am blue..."wear whatever you want." My best friend literally picked out our dresses and shoes, made sure we could walk in them (my first time in heels 😅) and asked me to make the jewelry which I happily did. Why can't everyone be that simple and straightforward? Lol.
If a wedding is normal, there's no story to tell. "Oh, Jack and Stacy's wedding? Yes, it was lovely. " the end
Agree but I think I'd prefer the no story after my parents...
My parents ran away... After the ceremony was over with a billion different dramatic insane problems including but not limited to her needing a literal bodyguard, their wedding party not all being there and him pulling people out of the attendees that would fit shirts, and their being more strangers attending their wedding than invited guests. After they hadn't eaten because they were forced to continue taking pictures. After cutting the cake and never getting to eat any of it. And not having a car as he had crashed it the month before. A family friend walked up to my dad palmed him her keys. he grabbed my mom and her extra clothes and waved bye as they drove away.
Long story short mine will be in our field and there are already friends volunteering who will be escorting any and all drama out before I have to deal with it. And if my girls wanna be pregnant all the power to ya just make sure ur dress is comfy and ur shoes don't hurt ur feet and let me know if any of the stress is too much and I will figure the rest out. Some people scare me with their wedding ideas about weight and other people's lives.
At my wedding my cousin, who is the reason me and my husband got together, was so drunk he couldn’t get home. He ended up sleeping on the floor of our bridal suite for the night. Woke up during the night to see he had used my gown as a blanket. The next morning when our champagne breakfast came up the people delivering it had to physically step over him. The whole thing was hilarious. 15 years later and he will never live it down. 100% was never even mad at him it was just too funny. Since then my husband and I have never paid to stay in a hotel for a family wedding and he always covers the room no matter what we say to him. He’s the best 😂
Best story ever! Still laughing 😂
At least he didn't wake up in the middle of the night and cheered on your wedding night or puked over your gown.
I had a wedding that went off without any problems. I still think so fondly of that day almost 10 years later. I found the bridesmaids' dresses at stores like Macy's and Lord & Taylor (no dress was over $150) and they did not look like typical bridesmaids dresses so they were able to wear them again to different occasions. Everyone styled their hair the way they wanted and wore shoes at the heel height they were comfortable with...flats (cool), sneakers for niece (heck yeah!). Everyone had a great time! People who were meeting for the first time were just vibing all night. We danced, drank, and ate. The food was so delicious, the music was poppin' and the open bar drinks were flowing. We did not have speeches, no cake cutting, no scheduled sit down dinner. People were literally running up to us and yelling "this is best wedding ever" and running off with a cupcake in hand! No drama! It was just absolutely wonderful and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
The biggest drama at my wedding was I had forgotten my cheque book at my parents house (about 45 min away) and had no way to pay my hair stylist, officiant, or music after they were done! This was before payment transfers were a thing (or trusted).
Thankfully they were all understanding about the situation we were in. I mailed them all money orders a couple of days later, with much larger tips then I had originally planned as a last apology for not being able to pay them on the day.
We're only human😊
I only had one maid of honor/bride's maid for my wedding - we kept it very chill. She's a 6'2" goddess, but there are not a ton of dresses for lovely ladies that tall. So I bought maybe 10 dresses online, had her try them on, narrowed it down, adjusted the size, everything. I cannot IMAGINE asking anything of her like this bride! Terrible.
My cousin stood up in my wedding and she's around 6' tall, but I also had my sister who is 5'3" stand up for me too. I picked the color, but I let them pick the style, whatever worked best for each of them. They actually ended up picking the same style and they both looked lovely and we were all happy! But I don't even know what sizes they got and I don't need to. And if either of them had gotten pregnant I would have been thrilled. So much drama over nothing with that bride!
That's really awesome how you handled it. Many options and can send back! Your awesome.
I had a female bodybuilder at my wedding. Someone asked me later 'who was the dude in a dress?' Bahaha
A true friend would have figured out how to get shorter! 🤣
Yasss, girl. That's how all these brides need to behave! Good on you, lovely!🥰💜
I got married almost 30 years ago. No drama, but our Pastor almost dropped the rings. Without missing a beat in his speech, he did a quick juggling act and kept them in his hand. Amazing pastor, amazing day. Still happy. Keep the faith, girl!
I was a wedding harpist, and I can assure you Charlotte. Most weddings are not like the ones in your videos. They are positive, loving, sentimental celebrations of love. I also had the honor of being a bridesmaid for my beast friend and it was the best wedding I ever attended. Everything went great, I felt like shit the whole time because it turned out I had strep throat but didn't know it, but I managed to act as if nothing was wrong because I wasn't about to mess up her day. Happy to also say, I didn't get anyone else sick. I lost all my photos of her wedding due to a camera glitch which was just downright heartbreaking, but that year either for my birthday or Christmas, she gave me a wedding photo book and a CD with ALL of the photos taken at the wedding and rehearsals. She basically replaced all my photos of her wedding. That's how kind she is. So yeah, not all weddings are bridezillas and unhinged drama. I promise.
How did she get the photos?? 😊
@@LLmoney23 Oh, she didn't give me my own photos that I lost. She gave me all the photos their wedding photographer took.
But noone makes UA-cam videos of those happy weddings
A friend, when asked "How could you be pregnant?"(clearly prepared for the stupidity of her family) promptly whipped out charts, diagrams, and printed data on the actual 'act' involved and offered pictures to illustrate the 'act'. :) Re: Your question about "normal" weddings - My cousin has been married four times. Every single one of her weddings has been lovely, sweet, everybody polite, a general good time. The marriages, not so much.
I was gonna use the joke, of course weddings can be drama free! I've had several. 😂 my trick-- have no bridesmaids
My daughter had a friend who worked in a doctor office & she was always giving out drugs like she had a license. Scary stuff (fentanyl patches, etc)
My husband I am got married in 1995. The only issue we had was that our organist (at my Presbyterian Church) refused to play Ava Maria because she considered it a Catholic song. Well...my husband is Catholic and his uncle (a Catholic Priest) was the co-officiant. Our soloist sang it acapella and it was beautiful. I get great joy each time I hear Ava Maria.
Not Cathoic, can confirm.
Ava Maria is Latin? Aside from Latin being prevalent in Catholicism I'm not sure how she made that leap. Latin is common in science too! Lol
How weird, I grew up in a protestant church and they sang that on Christmas eve sometimes. Glad you still had it performed!
Idk why but apparently some Christians make it a point to be loudly anti-Catholic, unprompted. Superiority and being the most right for whatever reason.
That’s so gross! I can’t imagine not playing a requested song at someone’s WEDDING just because it was of a different religion than mine. I hope that lady got no tips lol
Charlotte literally has me terrified to get married 😂 something about a wedding makes people go FERAL it seems. I’ve been taking notes since 2020. 😅
I recommend elopement lol. No regrets.
Charlotte has me glad I’m already married and that we just eloped. Cheap, easy, and stress free! Or, at least as stress-free as dealing with the government can be! Lol
She's not a God. You decide how ur marriage would work not some youtuber with lip filler.
Hubby and I got married in California. Our family all lived in the Deep South or the Midwest, so no one could involve themselves in the planning. They had only to show up. We had no bridesmaids or groomsmen. No maid of honor, no best man. We had ZERO problems. Just make it simple & ask no one for help. No need to elope if you’d rather celebrate with your families. Just keep them at arms length and insist you want to do this on your own. The problem comes in when you NEED their money to have the wedding. If that’s the case, yes…go elope. People who fund your wedding typically want involvement. It’s a trade off.
She convinced me eloping is the only stress free wedding.
My wedding went off perfectly.
My maid of honor didn’t order her dress when I asked her to-we had a last minute surprise bridesmaid-so we got two coordinated fancy dresses in a complimentary color. No ones dress fitted the same way, it didn’t matter. They all looked beautiful.
Had a groomsman cancel at the last minute-no problem. Ring-bearer got a last minute upgrade, which made him feel special and looked adorable in the pictures.
It’s all in how you address the missteps. They can be awful and one can let them ruin the day, or you can take the attitude of: how do I make this beautiful? And move forward.
The best part of my wedding: Everyone had fun and I have beautiful memories of my friends and family, and fun memories to laugh over.
I’d call that perfect.
Better than watching weddings is watching wedding dramas with Charlotte's fabulous sense of humor. 😂💜
Just got married 10/13/23!
My wedding went so well. We had a backyard wedding at my MIL house. We did a road trip to TX for it! We woke up at 6 am and went to to work decorating, cooking, etc. The wedding was beautiful. It started on time. My bridesmaid and MOH (she married us) went outta there way to do everything for me, getting my lashes, doing hair & makeup.
It was the best day of my life and my male best friend helped with music! And everything went just amazing.
We spent like $2k for the whole wedding that included my dress, professional photographer, food, everything!
Don't let this stuff fool you bc I'm spending the rest of my life with someone I love so so so much!
Congratulations! Both for your day and for having a healthy mindset that makes your commitment more likely to last.
Ohhhh you got married on Friday the 13th....................I like that!!
I had a similar wedding but even more paired down. Pretty much everything was donated to us or free: my MIL thrifted my dress, a friend made a beautiful headpiece for me, my SIL made our cake, another friend took photos and we were especially blessed to have a cousin that was a celebrant. We chose a spot on a quiet beach with some public picnic tables and barbecues, got married under a tree with no seats, no music, no flowers, no bridal party, just our friends and family gathered around us while we read our vows and signed the paperwork. Then we cooked up and ate a bunch of food that had been prepared/donated by some of our guest and just generally enjoyed each other for the afternoon. It was absolutely lovely and we spent around $300, including the $250 to register the paperwork.
I wish you folks a lifetime of love and happiness ❤
Same family land, small, just wanted to marry my best friend. 15 years later I'm still happily married and I hope the same for you. Those that last understand what is the real priority.
My wedding had no drama and everything went smoothly. Then again I had no wedding party. Only MOH and best man. I had been a bridemaid a couple of times before so when it was my turn I decided that I would do without. It was a beautiful wedding and everybody was happy. No drunks, no fights and no hard feelings from anyone. It was really perfect.
These bridal stories always make me feel better about being single.
My Mother (who wants grandchildren): “Sweetie! You’re such a kind and wonderful young woman! Why aren’t you married yet?”
Me: “Well, mother. According to the internet, I’m a little too sane….” 😂
also you don't have to get married to have a child...
I always think that. How do these crazy, awful people get people to date, let alone PROPOSE, to them?!
It makes no sense. Perfectly lovely people get looked over everyday for complete LUNATICS who make horrible partners. I don’t get it.
@@sparrowwilson4514 these horrible people are the BEST manipulators
That's classic. My mom doesn't give me shit about me getting married but if she did, I would steal this
@@LynetteTheRogue 👍🏾
Imagine being a bridezilla going nuclear, then later watching Charlotte react to a video describing her very own lunacies. The meltdown and fallout would be glorious to behold. Would it be rage? Embarrassment? Both?
Someone that narcissistic would still not realize she was the problem
They might not even realise it’s about them
I got married in 2020, height of covid, in a small ceremony and reception. 15 guests max outdoor wedding. The entire thing went off without an issue. Everyone had an amazing time, and even the people in town celebrated us as we drove to the reception from the ceremony. My entire family attended via video call. It can happen that things just go well even if it wasnt exactly as planned.
I was a pregnant bridesmaid. When I told my girlfriend she was thrilled for me and helped me get a different dress that would “accommodate” me. I was so honored to stand up with her. ❤
The 1st bride seems to be the type of person that blames everyone for their shitty day. To them it's always that person's fault, his fault , her fault and never their own fault. But thankfully the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed.
LOL "the dildo of consequences seldom arrives lubed" that's a beautiful phrase 😂
What a great fucking expression omg!
Stealing that phrase, love it
It’s always the fault of the people who are unable to read the bride’s mind and “manifest” her delulu expectations. It could never be her fault for having champagne dreams on a beer budget or just being crazy.
Both of my Aunts and Uncles on my Mom and Dad's side had weddings that went perfectly well in my opinion.
All of my bridesmaids were very different sizes and shapes at my wedding. One was pregnant, and one had just had a baby. I was so happy to have them there with me, and they all looked beautiful. The story of the bride who wanted to police her bridesmaids' weight is insane. She sounds like a massive AH.
So for my wedding, I actually wanted my bridesmaids to wear their dresses again, so I told them to get any floor length green or black dress. Any color green, any fabric, I did not care. They all wanted to see my dress so they could gage what to get, I had been dreading dress shopping. Finally I just bought a $60 dress off Amazon and figured I’d try it out. It came 2 days later and I LOVED it. My wedding day comes, everyone looked STUNNING, and my photos were more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.
When I had my wedding my younger sister had given birth three months earlier. I was stoked for her! My baby nephew was my ‘ring bearer’ (his Dad carried him down the aisle and he was wearing a little white onesie with a tiny green vest and bow tie to match my wedding colours, it was PRECIOUS!). I made sure her dress allowed her to wear the proper bra she needed and allowed for breastfeeding so the dress snapped open. Each of my bridesmaids had the ‘same’ dress but with the top half matching their body type - one had a one shouldered top, one was halter, one was thick strapped (for pregnancy bra and breast feeding). It’s literally not a big deal! The same happened at my SIL and brother’s wedding. We all had the ‘same’ dress with a big flower on it (it was GORGEOUS) that was placed differently for ew h of our body types - my sister has pretty much no chest, so her flower was on her bust; another had her flower on her waist; another had it on her shoulder, and another had it on the centre of her waist because she was newly pregnant and wanted to hide it.
When I got married (May 1987) My BFF/Matron of Honor, was preg with her first child. I was happy for her; but I did say "Please don't have your water break when you're walking down the aisle, okay? That's all I ask." We were concerned that since was her first baby, it may not come on the day she was due...Luckily, she had her baby in April, so it all worked out fine!
I got married back in 1994, one of my dearest friends was a bridesmaid and visibly 7 months pregnant. I knew in advance and was the reason the bridal party didn't wear heals. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of putting a very pregnant woman in high heels. My friendship has definitely lasted longer than the marriage.
During my boyfriend's wedding to his wife (they separated before we met, haven't divorced yet), the 5 or so kids that were there went missing during the reception while every adult there was drunk. Important note: the place they were holding the reception was in the woods. They eventually found the kids walking down the train tracks heading back towards town because they missed some family member that wasn't invited.
That's hilarious 😂 kids and their morals, man
I've heard of people going missing during weddings before but never a group of kids, that's wild!
When we got married we kept it small and simple. My maid of honor was stressed because she was in 4 weddings that year and the cost of dresses🤦. I told her we would try to reuse a bridesmaid dress she had already paid for and had in her closet.... they were AWEFUL! Orange taffeta, head to toe denim & sparkling black halter (very tacky). I swear bride's chose terrible dresses for their friends!!! Anyway, I asked her what other dresses she had, and she had a lovely dark raspberry sundress! Done & Done! I wore a champagne dress (hate white). It turned out stunning!
My wedding was amazing!! Still the best wedding I've ever been to. (I might be biased.) Small wedding in my in-laws back yard, 40 people, 1 bridesmaid and groomsman who could wear whatever made them feel beautiful. In-Laws and neighbors cooked all the food. Only cost about $8K including my dress. One of the best memories of my life!
Got married in an island. 35 guests. Didnt have a cake, no photographer. At the end of the day we sat in the sauna (Yes we are Scandinavian), the officiant said it was the best day of his life. So yeah, It was great.
I am nearly 74 years old. In my lifetime thus far, I have been a guest, a member of the party, wedding planner, walked my daughter down the aisle while holding her 10 month old baby because her dad didn't want to condone her having had a baby out of wedlock, and paid for two weddings and wedding dresses. At no time have I EVER encountered anything like I have heard on Charlotte's channel. Who hurt these people to make them like this!? SMH. 😂😂😂❤❤❤😮😮😮
Yes, good weddings exist!
The worst thing that happened at my best friend's wedding was that her husband-to-be forgot to pick up the flower bouquet on the way to the church. His best man and a bunch of bride maids immediately picked some wild flowers and raided a rose garden and fixed that issue.
She also wasn't a bridezilla and nobody cheated on anyone. Yay!
Did you say raided the garden?! How many flowers did they pick
@@sonamytmnt9783 exaggerated a bit. They took like three red roses. 😂 The rest was wildflowers, ribbons from the table decorations and a silver necklace draped over it to spruce up the bouquet. Turned out great for a 15-minute project.
I got married May 31st of this year and it was AMAZING and MAGICAL!
No drama, just love all around. The worst thing that happened was a slight hiccup in the music before I walked down the aisle.
I loved it so much. My husband got an orange kilt and I wore the most stunning sequined purple dress! There was some rain after the ceremony but it was an amazing day all around. No drama. No screaming, and all of the tears were happy tears. 💜🙏🧡

Omg I just realized that two of my close friendships of multiple years ended with their weddings. One of them is Charlotte commentary worthy.
Miss Charlotte being confused about why a bride would “lose it” at finding out that two of her bridesmaids are pregnant like she ain’t done a slew (slough?) of bridezilla videos. 😉😂🤣
Well it still doesn't make sense. She keeps trying to understand. But, but feels so confused.
Yes, I've been watching Charlotte for ages and I don't think she's ever told a story about the CRAZIEST wedding she ever worked. I just presumed that the craziest wedding would be someone she still sees occasionally at social events who may or may not recognize themselves in the story. Plus, her style is more reactionary than storyteller BUT, now that it's been brought up and I'm sure we've ALL been very good followers of Charlotte this year, with just a few acts of pettiness doled out only to people who deserved it, hell, they practically BEGGED for the petty hammer to fall, so maybe Charlotte could gift us with a story(ies) of the worst 'zilla weddings she ever photographed!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Miss Charlotte. (I'm from the Deep South and I'm 58 years old, raised with proper Southern manners, where we "ma'am and sir or Miss or Mr." people to death. There's been such an influx of Northerners down here that most of those manners are almost gone. Kids don't even call their parents Mama and Daddy anymore, it's Mom or Dad. I know plenty of you will think that's because they're not small children anymore and I would posit something the "Rock" Dwayne Johnson would often say, "I DON'T CARE what your candy ass thinks", Mama and Daddy are warm, loving ways to address your parents regardless of age. I would also posit that while our Southern accent is often used for comedic purposes, it's also exquisite if used properly to convey anger, disgust, or derision. Just search UA-cam for the best Julia Sugerbaker rants and you'll understand, her rants are comedic to the audience, but trust me, there's not a damn thing funny about it if you're on the receiving end of one. And, the person giving the rant better not see a smile or a smirk, because the politeness will get sucked right out of the room only to be replaced with penetrating silence and a coldness that reaches so deep inside, your blood does indeed run cold, and ice almost encapsulates your vital organs, regardless of the temperature outside. I've given and received such rants, and I promise that's the truth. The only reason the South remains a "red" state politically is the wealthy Northerners who used to be called "snowbirds" because they'd come down to the South to escape the frigid temperatures of their home state and they'd go back home when the heat would push the temperature into 3 digits Fahrenheit or high 30s or low 40s Celsius. However, the cost of living was such that they could afford to stay year-round so they moved permanently. And, then their kids would come to visit, and they'd find out that their Mama and Daddy weren't lying about the cost of living, pretty soon we started having gated communities. Locals were finding access to their favorite childhood lakes restricted unless they paid a fee or joined a c😊
A few years ago my friend asked me to be her bridesmaid, we were over the moon. She was very entitled from a child so I braced myself for what was to come. I never expected her to tell me to lose weight before her wedding day 😔 I had not long gave birth to my son and my daughter was only 13 months older than my son. She bought my dress way too small because it was on sale. She told me I'd have to work hard to fit in to it by her wedding date. We never spoke again!
Oof. Some people are just so out of touch. Good thing you’re not friends with her anymore
I fully support the conclusion!
She was definitely undeserving of your friendship
I hope this means you did not attend the wedding at all !
@@danielleking262 I didn't attend. A lucky escape for me 😁
My husband and I with the JP in front of the xmas tree. Perfect.
My wedding was in my mother's back yard on Halloween. There were seven guests. It's was great. We ate food that my hubbs and I made together and carved pumpkins.
Your mom wedding sounds fun and oh Halloween sounds like a fun anniversary date! Mine is the 4th or July
Married 10 years here. Ideally, your wedding should be fun for you, your spouse, and your friends and family, but it should NOT be the best day in your lives as a couple! A random day several years in when you’re doing something you both love to do and making each other laugh a lot and realizing you love them more now then ever - THAT is the best day. And then some time later will be another best day. And then another. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself for your wedding (or wedding night or anything else you’re worried about). If you’re with the right person, you will have a lifetime of best days.
Exactly! My wedding day was amazing and the drama we had was due to my fancy cake nearly toppling over, but thankfully it was caught in time. We laughed about that then and still do now. Amazing what happens when you're focused on becoming a family vs perfect pictures of a single day.
You are so right. Don't let it die and it just gets better and better.
We eloped this summer with only a few immediate family. We said our nuptials as the beach then went to my mom’s for apps and drinks. It was perfect, stress free and very, very affordable. I highly recommended!
So I got married this fall and it was drama free and beautiful. I told my bridesmaids that I would like a fall colour scheme for their dresses (shades of yellow, orange, red, dark green, etc.) but other than that they can choose whatever they want. It was a partial DIY wedding so the bridesmaids arrived the day before and helped setting up and decorating and one of them told me then that she was pregnant. I was so overjoyed for her, I started jumping around and crying from joy. Such amazing news! And she only knew for a little over a week herself, so everything was super new and exciting. It was so lovely!
Whenever I have to say “absolutely not” I always say it in my head exactly like you. Love it!
In response to your question "Does any wedding go off without a hitch?", my wife and I got married 14 years ago at my church. It was really small and nice. We spent like, $20-40 on the whole thing. She also got baptized into my church on the same day. Still together today 😊
I love that she calls it a food journey or a health journey. 🥰
I was 37 weeks pregnant at my brother's wedding and apart from people asking questions for maybe 5min (like casual small talk before the wedding) and me missing out on booze, it was a very normal thing at the wedding.
I'm sick of people who seem to think that the wedding actually equates to the marriage!!! They are two totally different things, and the sooner folk realise that, the happier they'll be in the end. It's the marriage that counts, not how much you spend on the day or whether the bridesmaids' dresses, hair and make-up match. Grow up ladies.
I can not fathom asking somebody to modify their body for my wedding, let alone trying to engineer the situation behind their backs.
I had a fabulous wedding . Everything went without a hitch, nobody fought with anybody , everyone looked gorgeous and best of all everyone had a great time. So much so that at the agreed finish people passed a hat and raised money to keep the party going 😂. My husband and I , with the rest of the wedding party were the last to leave . We had a blast and have fabulous memories as well!
Let's start a new trend! Every groom asks every bridesmaid to report on how she treated them before he would actually accept her walking down the aisle.
The biggest drama at my wedding was that my hubby (groom) had packed his black socks and had to wear brown with his grey tux. As for my bridesmaids, I didn't care about their size, height, hair colour etc. The dresses' hem lines were done for what looked good on them with their heels. End of story. They were my closest friends, I wanted them happy, they wanted me happy and we all had a great time.
Besides the fact this is a totally crazy story... I really love how this woman handled herself with class andbdignity in the face of a totally materialistic, narcissistic, bride from hell! As well as how she told the story and from the point of view of everyone involved. She's very articulate and a great Storyteller that was just wild! If she's reading this? Girl? I have the utmost respect for you for sticking to your professional business contractual agreements at the same time trying to accommodate some of the ladies that did not have unreasonable requests regarding their sizing and trying to keep that psycho bride in check and not take her Head Off! I couldn't do what you did that's for sure! You're being very diplomatic and very kind and understanding! If that was ME? That bride would be in some big ass trouble treating me like that! I wish you all the best with your business and keep telling stories, that was a Whopper I really enjoyed it! At least you gained some cool new authentic girlfriends so that's great! I truly believe everything happens for a reason and hopefully you'll continue your friendship with these gals and they'll bring positivity to your life and vice versa!

When I got married, I told the girls It needs to be this particular color, wear whatever dress in which YOU feel pretty (just not slutty lol). It worked out beautifully, and everyone was happy
My two bridemaids were both different body types. Ones larger, busty, and taller, while my other is smaller, skinny, and shorter. They both looked incredible in the dress i chose for them, they looked like goddesses. I literally have loved every picture i had with them.
Also the only things that "went wrong." At my wedding was that every walmart in the area was out of fried chicken, and that everyone was taking beer and other alcohol out of their cars and drinking it over the hill behind the pavilion. But it was fun, I played softball in my wedding dress and had a blast
Just wanted to offer an example of a wedding going well, because you asked. My wedding was great! It was a much more low key event than what it seems a lot of people in these videos try to pull off. We took husband and wife pictures a week before the actual wedding. My father-in-law is actually big into photography, so he took those. Day of, we had a ceremony at a local temple mid-morning and then took pictures with the wedding party/family (this time with my cousin taking the pictures). Then my family put on a luncheon at a park, just for our two families. My mom and aunts hand-made most of the decorations and also made all the food. We had a reception in the evening where my wife had hand-made all of the decorations. My sister made the wedding cake, and it turned out great. Then, my cousins--licenced fireworks technicians--hooked up fireworks to the ignition of my car. So when we turned the car on to drive away at the end of the night a bunch of fireworks went off behind us. Then we drove up to a cabin in the mountains for our honeymoon. So yeah, very low key, very low budget, but also VERY low drama. And this next year my wife and I will be celebrating our 10th anniversary.
We did disposable cameras on the tables at our reception and glamour shots the next day. 😂
As someone who has been married for nearly 16 years, I was 22 when I got married and I was a bit of a bridezilla but all this time later it doesn’t matter. When my son was born was the most important day of my life and my husband’s. If I went back now I’d elope lol or have a very small wedding.
At my wedding in1975 I wanted blue and white. My 6 bridesmades were in differing financial status. I told them that I wanted blue dresses. I didnt care what shade. I talked to each one alone. Told them that I understand the financial issues and my Dad was able to actually pay for their dresses. He was saving from the time I started working. I gave him a bit of my check as a way to pay for the use of the car my dad helped me get. He was sneaky and opened up an account at the bank with my name as a trustee. So it helped us pay for the girls dresses. They actually paid &10.00. At the reception, I gave them a Thank you card with $20.00. It was awesome.
