Yes. It's the normal corporate equivalent of having booked a really important meeting that day. Except a meeting would probably be easier to reschedule. If she didn't say anything the bride probably wouldn't even have noticed she was late
Plus, if that’s her main form of income, how else does the Bride expect her to be able to afford to come? Weddings can get pricey, ever just to attend. You can’t tell a guest to put their job in jeopardy to come to your wedding when it’s that job that’s paying for their ability to show up looking nice and with a gift in the first place, right?
I absolutely think the bride should have just accepted that either the person would be late, or said, "You know what, the reception begins at X time, just come to that." But at the same time, unless EVERYONE else that guest knew was going to be at the wedding/otherwise busy, she very easily could have asked someone to come with her to the craft fair and sit at the table until it ended. I've done a few craft fairs, and that's what I did for the first one. I asked someone I knew to come with me to be an extra set of eyes at the table, and to be the one to sit there in case I had to use the bathroom, or wanted to get food, or something. Turned out she absolutely wasn't needed, because it wasn't as crowded as I was expecting, but it was still a good thing to have a second person around.
Fun fact: no one in the royal family can wear the same color to an event as the queen. That's why Camilla's dress wasn't white. She couldn't wear white to her own wedding because the queen was wearing it
also the Queen frowns on anyone wearing White when it is second time around...apparently she was disappointed with NutMeg wore white...LOL...oh the Royal rules
@@sammie20 - Not only royal rules, common rules. Second wedding - don't wear white. Nutmeg (her third, or second wedding?) really made a faux pas wearing white and that horrible, long veil.
People seriously need to remember that the purpose of a wedding is to make a public statement of commitment and love to one another. No matter how many plans go awry, at the end of the day you will be married to the person you love. Literally everything else is just fluff. So chill out, expect the unexpected and enjoy the day with your partner.
Yes exactly. I had a beautiful small wedding. My parents weren't able to come because my dad is going through chemo. But we video called through the whole ceremony and I had my father in-law walk me down the isle. There was a child there who sneezed all over our beautiful cake. So we just cut a small piece off the opposite side for our cake cutting moment. These things didn't matter to me I was just happy to marry the love of my life! Ive been happily married for 2 weeks now and looking forward to a life time of happiness.
I think in many cases it's also a society sign of where the bride and groom expect to position themselves socially, or at least that's how many bridezillas seem to treat it
Actually that’s the purpose of a wedding to you. To a bridezilla the purpose of a wedding is to put them up on a pedestal and to make everybody look at them. You do get that your perspective is not the only perspective right?
That last one...hoo wee! As an introvert, spending 4 days with 25 other people on a nonstop itinerary of activities is the stuff of my nightmares. You have to give people time to decompress and not fawn over you 24/7.
It sounds like hell to me. From the sound of it, she was getting them up at 7am, dragging them around all day, and still expected them to go to the club and party all night - just to rinse and repeat the next day. If they're partying til even at the earliest of midnight, they would still have to head back to the house, take turns showering (all 25 people!) and be able to do their bedtime routine, which could take 1 to 2 hours, so they may not get into bed til 2 or 3am... and she was still demanding they be up at 7 for a 9am brunch? GIRL! WTF! I'd be passed out until noon or 1pm if I had to go through even one of those exhausting days. Even if they paid for it, let people rest.
Was just about to say how does she have '25 of her closest girl friends' bro I don't even have 25 friends let alone having to whittle it down to 25 of the closest😂
I’ve attended a bachelorette “party” type thing that was like this. I couldn’t make half of the events that day because I had to come in from out of state and I still was overwhelmed.
My florist's 2 wk old granddaughter passed away 1 wk before my wedding. I was so heartbroken for her. There was no way I was going to call her & ask if she was still going to show on the wedding day. I just figured that if we didn't have flowers then there was a very understandable reason why. The day of the wedding I showed up to the venue & my florist was there. She even went above & beyond without charging us any extra, telling me she poured some of her grief into what she loves doing.
I’m kinda considered an extrovert and I did a double take at that. A weekend with that many people in one house doesn’t sound like fun to me. I would just have my bridal party.
For real. Me and my partner would probably have 25 people to invite to our wedding total. No way we’d have anywhere near that for a minor pre wedding festivity
I have three friends. that's it. then I have a brother, his wive and her family, who I'm also close with, and cousins. Even if I included colleagues I'm friendly with, I would never get 25 people :D
That is way too many people to herd and decorating a whole house takes time. Not to mention, they don’t have to decorate. Also, it sounds like she invited too many people just to split the bill. Also, help clean up. Yes you are the bride but it’s not that hard to put stuff in a garbage bag. Yikes.
My dad was late to my wedding lol My husband and I walked in together, so it’s not like he missed walking me down the aisle. I realized the chair up front was empty, but when we turned around to go to the unity candle, it gave me the biggest smile to see him standing in the back. Just be glad people made it!
This is so true. My friend (the groom) was getting married and I am ALWAYS EARLY for everything, but I got hella sick the night before. And even though I didnt want to stress him out, I texted in the night that somethings wrong, but I'll be there. Next morning, I still wasn't better and sent another text that I was running behind, so I might there late, and because it was during Covid-19, the guest list was very small, so sneaking wasn't really possible. We've been close friends for years and I didnt want to miss it and told him I'd stay to the very back if they've started. He didnt care one bit, he was just happy I was still trying to make it but said he understood if I couldn't because I'm never one to not show up. In the end I was late, but so was the actual wedding proceedings, so it was doubly irrelevant . My point is, she may have been late, or maybe something changed and she might’ve been just on time, but as you said, being there at all is the only thing that matters.
Re: story where bride is pissed because OP has craft fair I have friends who sold their goods at craft fairs - some spaces have to be booked a year in advance and your items are judged by a committee before you are allowed a spot. One friend could clear over $1,000 a weekend. She worked for 6-8 months making amazing, hand painted silk items for the craft fair season, which is very short, usually just before the holidays. And yes, they are very, very firm about set-up and take down times. If people leave early, it throws off the entire show and leaves an enormous gap, so vendors have to make a professional commitment. It's basically running a 2nd job, and these folks put in long hours to prepare, pack their cars, set up tents, tables, etc, sell their items, take down, repack and drive it all home every freakin' show. Plus worry about items being damaged, stolen, etc. it's not just tossing some clothes pin owls in a dish and having people buy them for big bucks.
I’m glad you explained. I thought she was doing arts and crafts with some strangers on the day of the wedding or buying stuff at a crafts fair and she just really liked crafts and that’s why she wanted to go and I was like MA’AM??? I didn’t realize when she said she had been making crafts for months that she was making them to sell like her job.
One of my good friends showed up late to my wedding. Missed the entire ceremony and most of the reception. I didn't question our friendship, I was worried something had happened to her. When she and her husband showed up, we had a laugh about the fact that they forgot I live in a timezone an hour ahead and that's why they were so late
Ok, so she was late for good cause? What about if she said “I wanted to go to this art show, i forgot your wedding “ I cannot understand this. How do people choose this? Can you explain?
I don’t know- maybe having no one ever show support, I can understand the frustration between friends when one choose crafts. Like, do I choose to wash my hair or go see my niece perform for the first time and she has put sooo much work into it and expressed her desire for me to be there- I just cannot get it.
@@ClementineShmementineshe wasn’t just going to a craft fair to have fun, she was paying for a spot as a vendor. She worked for months and probably expected to make a fair bit of money, so this isn’t a fun outing or a frivolous thing like washing your hair(?? lmao weird comparison)-for her it would be more like a business trip. Plus, she said she would be there, but late. I don’t see the big deal about that? Maybe it’s just because I’m late to everything, but if I valued someone’s presence at my wedding, I’d rather them show up late than not go at all.
@@ClementineShmementine I don't think you understand what going to that craft fair was all about. It wasn't something out of pure fun. She had already signed up for a spot as a vendor to sell her crafts and those entrance fees can get real pricy. $100 and up pricey. And if this is a huge source of her income then going is very important to her. Obviously they need to pay their bills like everyone else as well. Besides had she allowed herself to be guilted into dropping the craft fair, she could have risked not being allowed a spot in the future in that marketplace. That's too many negatives to ignore just cause a friend can't handle you being a bit late. Comparing washing your hair and seeing your nieces perform is such a bad comparison to this. It's not even close.
@@K000H she had that hobby for 5 months! It was not a career it was not so important. She even had that hobby for less time than the wedding was planned. How important it can be? She can’t be even good enough at it yet. It’s 5 months! I absolutely bet she is just sloppy lazy unorganized person who just doesn’t care much about others.
Yes! I know some people get hated on for dreaming of their wedding, but it's different to expect one person to be your everything vs 25 other people! This sounds like a kindergarten birthday party, it's crazy
That's her issue lol. She confusing casual friends with close friends. Which is truly sad because that probably means she isn't really sure what it means to be a close friend to someone.
One of my brothers got married on Halloween. The entire guest list showed up in costume as they would for a Halloween pub crawl. IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING I’VE EVER ATTENDED!!! My brother was dressed like a Disney prince and his wife was in a GLORIOUS princess ball gown (think a white Cinderella dress). My daughter was one of 4 flower girls dressed up like fairies with wings and my lesbian aunts showed up dressed like a nun and Chuck Norris and got everyone stoned while my sister’s boyfriend wore a cow costume that had bottles of hard liquor attached to each of the udders. I’m so sad I can’t find the picture of my 60 year old lesbian auntie, dressed like a nun pulling Jack Daniels out of the cows udders😂
I'm married, and I just cannot comprehend the concept of being so upset that a typical guest may be late to your wedding. The guest is still going out of their own way to attend and celebrate your wedding, period. Therefore, they care enough about you to take time out of their life to do so, late or not, and that should be something to appreciate.
it honestly depends, my wedding charged per plate for the reception so someone being late and you are paying for it yourself could be a problem. cause the late guest has to pack up from the fair, haul unsold stuff back home potentially, get changed and go to venue. If the wedding was at 4:30pm that's high traffic depending where you live.
@@catandrobbyflores Agreed here. My venue charged attendance per person, not including catering. Some people didn't come to the ceremony and only showed up to the reception dinner (no explanation given), and some didn't stay for dinner (which I understand as they had young kids). It cost us a fair bit for no reason. If they'd told us beforehand, we could have budgeted for it or just told these late people not to bother coming.
I would be a little disappointed that my friend signed herself up for something on the day of my wedding/important life event, but she's also my friend so I would understand and appreciate the heads-up. I wouldn't want her to miss out on an important career / hobby opportunity.
It’s just rude to be late in general and it’s particularly rude to be late to a wedding Things do happen, but I think “oops I signed up for a craft show and didn’t realise, mind if I show up late” is just super rude and flippant. I’d be annoyed by this, but then I have a small friend circle so it would be excessively insulting.
I'll never get why people freak out over this stuff. I'm never getting married but if I did it would just be a nice ceremony with everything looking good and potluck afterwards. People make the most amazing things when it's potluck. I remember my sister's wedding was supposed to be outside on the lake at her former foster mom's house (former foster mom remarried very well) with an Irish priest and Unity Candle. And then it rained. I asked Pam what to do and she said we were bringing everything inside. So there were like 50 guests packed in the livingroom of the house and the hallway was the aisle. It was so beautiful though because my nephew was the ringbearer and then they did the Unity Candle to bring the kids into the ceremony. At one point my niece shouted "Go Leafs Go!" in the middle of the ceremony and my sister was like "Ahhhhhh!" Was so hilarious. Afterwards it stopped raining and we all went out to the lawn with the nice tables and centerpieces. Everyone brought something and I stuffed myself on great food that everyone bought. That's how I got the idea for potluck. Gifts were left on the table in the house. You don't have to have a perfect wedding for it to be so special.
OMG my florist was slow with responses and stuff ~8 weeks out and apologized profusely as she'd had an injury and was dealing with a sick family member. I said, "no worries, I've seen your gallery, I'm not concerned :)" and the flowers on our wedding day were spectacular. A friend said she had to RSVP "no" because she wasn't sure if she could get the day off work. I told her not to worry about the RSVP date, the caterer needed to know 5 days in advance so as long as she got back to me by then no problem. I had a few guests like that and ended up estimating 2 extra guests just in case someone was able to make it last minute. At the end of the night, the caterer packed up the leftover food in boxes and it's all I ate for a week. No regrets. Not that hard to just be decent.
My husband's aunt, who was not invited to our wedding because she loves drama and we do not, showed up. We think his mom invited her because all her other sisters came and think she felt bad. It's been 4 Years and I JUST realized she wore a white dress. I didn't even wear a white dress, I wore off white lace with peach underneath, lol.
It's not that the girl is running LATE, it's that she has another obligation she likely spent a good chunk of money on, and won't be ABLE to get there on time. Reserving a table at a craft fair can be like fiive hundred bucks.
I'm sorry, but where in the world is a craft fair going to charge $500?? If we're getting into the hundreds, then that's 'vendor at a comic convention' prices. I've done craft fairs, and the most I've ever seen a table go for is $60 for one space. On average, it's usually $15-$20. That said, I do think the bride overreacted and if being late was such an issue, should have just said, "The reception starts at X time, just skip the ceremony and come to the reception."
@@kateworkman921 Where I am, $40 is cheap and bigger ones can be upwards of $200. Not to mention the time and money put into inventory to sell. She could be looking at a big loss of income by missing the show, not to mention potentially being blacklisted by the coordinator for future shows.
@@kateworkman921 I know I'm in a different country but I just checked for a craft fair happening close to me and the booths start at just under $1k. Halve that to account for differrent living standards and taxes and all and it's roughly $500. So...in my part of the world, I guess. :)
For the last one, the edit response sounded so sarcastic. She clearly didn’t understand the comments and just wanted someone to give her positive affirmation, and then got mad when no one was on her side.
Regarding first bridezilla: Bride enters reception area with new husband and people applaud, laughing, smiling, shouting, "It's the bride!" Then a two-year-old accompanied by her mother enters. The little girl is wearing white and the room goes silent, followed by confused murmurs of "Wait - is that the bride? I thought she already came in!" and "Did the... where's the groom?" and "Oh, no, don't tell me the groom married a two-year-old! How disgusting!" To quote the Mandalorian, "Sigh."
My 17 month old daughter wore white to our wedding. She was adorable and made me tear up. She walked down the isle as a flower girl. (I was so proud she did so well being so young). She also found her posing ability at the post ceremony photos.
My friend burned bridges with her bridesmaids bc of her bachelorette. I met them at her house after I set up the cutest little party and when they got there everyone was pretty grumpy. I asked one of the bridesmaids what was going on and they said even tho they took her on such an incredible day adventure (I would have loved it!) she was mad they didn’t go somewhere on a flight like to Vegas. All of her bridesmaids work WITH her at a retail store at the time Aka she knows none of them make big bucks. It was so awkward….
It would be petty if the reason the Queen wore white was true. But it isn't as Camilla didn't wear white to Charles and Diana's wedding, she wore a light grey. But hey why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
@@vickytoria72 Any color light enough to be mistaken for white is generally frowned on - white, ivory, cream, and yes, possibly pale grey. And we all know that Camilla was Charles's side piece for years, including after he was married.. She shouldn't even have been there at all.
I was a bride. Wasn't that stressful. It can be if you're not flexible. I had a vision. My mom and I worked hard for MONTHS. It was a LOT of fun and our wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Be flexible, be forgiving and have FUN while planning.
Seriously. Same with me. Me and my husband work for months on the wedding. I made my own dress, cake structure, wedding cards and gifts packs. We send the invites and expected nothing from guests. I never cared when they came, what they wore, and whether people in my bridal group "aesthetically" pleasing. All I cared was I was getting married and whether guests are comfortable and have a good time. Since my wedding was bit far from my hometown I even arranged transportation at my cost so they can attend the wedding. 10 years later I still over the moon with my wedding and so are the guests.
Seriously! I turned forty in July, and I had this entire vision of having a huge 40th, with my best friends there, several other friends, karaoke time, a whole bunch of games/trivia, whole bunch of food, the place decorated out, etc. And then reality of peoples' jobs, inability to get time off, costs of different things, time limits on stuff, and other factors made me have to scale back considerably on my initial vision. In the end, it wasn't anything like what I'd pictured at the start, but it was still a fun day and worth it, but flexibility is key. Because if I had been inflexible? It would have sucked.
'being flexible' is exactly what was running through my head during that last bachelorette story. The number of time I visited a friend, they visited me, we had plans (had fun making them;) and then changed them on the fly as we felt lazy or wanted to spend more time somewhere else... The point was spending time together. And what the hell is that with 25 closest friends!!? That's a freaking school class.
For real. I got married 3 years ago, and had to rework certain that I don't remember now at this point. My younger sister got married this summer and as advice to her, I informed her to be ready to compromise on a few things. She took it well and her wedding was beautiful.
It's common in the UK for the flower girls to wear white. Most royal weddings and even ones in movies regarding weddings in the UK have their flower girls wearing white dresses. It tends to be a cultural thing when it comes to wedding customs and what is deemed appropriate and inappropriate 🤷♀️
I was thinking that. My family has rule where by you can't have a husbands family in the bridal party and vise versa. My cousins sister in law was mad her daughter wasn't a flower girl (there were already 4 includeing myself and 8 bridemaids) so the sister in law put her in a white flower girl dress with basket to make it look like she was a flower girl in pictures. The rule comes from the fact we have an 80% divorce rate in my family and only ever have family photos at weddings.
I was a flower girl when I was 7, along with my now-aunt's 4-year-old niece (and her 6-year-old nephew was ring bearer). I'm pretty sure we wore white and he wore a suit, and now that I'm thinking of it, I guess I assumed flower girls and ring bearers were Supposed to match the couple. 😂
The bride looks extra unstable if she is jealous of a toddler. If this was an adult who picked their own outfit and knew they were going to a wedding, and the stigma attached to wearing white, that is different. The fact that her parents are ballsy enough to put a toddler in white knowing that dress is going to be destroyed in 4 hours should be the only eyebrow raiser.
It's also normal in the US for the flower girl to wear white. I don't think the 2 year old was a flower girl? But still stupid, obviously toddlers are exempt from the rule
Being concerned that a two-year-old will upstage your wedding because of what she's wearing without realizing she's going to upstage you regardless because she's a baby and everyone loves babies, is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
@@Gemmaleedsrose My point was that babies at weddings usually upstage the bride and groom for no other reason than they're babies. If you're so insecure about attention, don't invite children in the first place. A lot of people are going to hate you and talk about you behind your back, but it's something you can do.
@@Gemmaleedsrose People who get offended by children/babies are ludicrous. I've never known anybody to care what a child or baby wears to a wedding. Those rules only apply to adults.
@@Gemmaleedsrose you are not correct. In my country and many others the flower girls are usually dressed in white. I have been flower girls myself and dressed in white. White is the colour of purity that is why kids are able to wear white even at weddings.
Fun fact! Children, especially girls/flower girls, wearing white at a wedding can symbolize youth and infinite love. I've seen somewhere that it can also be seen as a wish for fertility for the couple? Either way, my niece wore a white dress at my wedding and she was angelic. I definitely didn't feel upstaged by a toddler and Bridezilla #1 needs to chiiiiill XD Edit: My sister in law also asked permission for my niece to wear white before the event. Overall, that's the way to do it lol XD
My sister's wedding fell through a month before it was supposed to take place, two month before mine. You're damn right I asked my niece to wear her white flower girl dress and asked the guests to wear blue so that some of the ladies in my sister's bridal party could still have a chance to wear their dresses.
ikr! I'm surprised Charlotte didn't say it's common for the flower girls to wear white because they're CHILDREN and still young / innocent / youthful. It's ADULTS and WEDDING GUESTS who should never wear white to a wedding, smh
Yeah we've always had this in our family for the weddings. I never really thought of that until seeing this lol. I clearly remember wearing white as the flower girl to my cousins wedding when I was little and it being a problem for the brides side of the family ( we were on the grooms side of the family) and my mom was really mad and I specifically remember this because i rarely ever see my mom mad, unless its at my dad or my sister lol. And because my grandma chased me all around making sure I didn't get it dirty. huh, to think someone talked shit about a little girl shows how insecure those people were and why the marriage didn't last more than a few months.
unless you intentionally have your kid wear white with the intent to upstage. a friend of my evil crazy aunt had her boyfriend, kids, and herself in all white, down to nail polish and jewelry. They even had platinum/ white highlights in their hair!! said friend later bragged that even her underwear & bra were white. she got booted, then white about how mean the bride & groom were being to her, despite making it clear she was trying to be as disrespectful as possible. my aunt supported her, Hating the bride, and also attempted her own kind of butchery at my mom's wedding. but now they don't talk, simply for the fact that my aunt is okay with everyone else being disrespected, but can't stand it when it's her turn. pretty sure they tried to fight to the death at some point after falling out. the reason? the friend insulted that my aunt was fat at her wedding, and tried to gain sympathy by blabbing, in gory detail, about her supposed miscarriage.
I'm so glad my wedding was low-key. We had a small ceremony but a big party. We told guests to bring alcohol instead of a gift and we had food trucks for food and a DJ for music. We partied all night and used the money we had saved for a house.
for a sec I read that you used the money you saved up for a house---- one breath-- for the party all night. LOL no I got it the second read through! I think my friends and I all plan to do the same, simple wedding, and fun party without worrying about all the extra finances involved.
My best friend for nearly my whole life just got married a few months ago, and her wedding was not even close to what I would call stressful, not even for her. And while it was "her day," she made it a day for all of us together as well; Family, friends, her now-husband. All around perfect, there was so much love between all of us (her and us bridesmaids,) that I can't imagine it being any other way between a bride and the women she considers closest to her. Seriously can't understand how or why some brides have to make it a nightmare for everyone involved.
If my friend was signed up to VEND a craft fair at the same time as my wedding I'd tell them they can just come to the reception if they're worried and go get that bag. In this economy I don't wanna tell people not to do what they gotta do to get paid.
I had no idea about the Queen and Camila wearing white at the weddings. But good for Lilibet, she was like "oh, you think you're savage? I'll show you savage..."
I got married 14 years ago and something that really rubbed me the wrong way was the ideology of "this day is all about you" and "you're a princess". A wedding is a community event where a couple publicly declares their lifelong commitment to each other. It's not really about how "special" either the bride or groom is, it's about the two people transitioning through phases of life in the context of the community. Or maybe that's just me.
Yes, it's kind of a rite of passage. It's about the couple as a unit (not about either of the individuals in it) and their place in the community. Or, you know, you can just get married quietly in a registry office if it suits your needs better
It's not just you. My mother was one of several brides on the same day at the church, and was almost forgotten, in the shuffle. However, she GOT MARRIED, and that was all that mattered to her. Her friends were there, they supported her, they all got some lunch after the wedding, and then Mom and Dad went bowling. That's how low-key the wedding was. Compared to the high-key weddings also happening that day, it's not that surprising that she was forgotten in the shuffle. But not completely forgotten. The ceremony was performed at the scheduled time, after all. With only about six witnesses, it was not that big of a deal to anyone but my parents.
@@reikun86 The play, "Father of the Bride," has the father telling the groom an interesting thing. I'm paraphrasing, because it's been years since I saw it, but basically, when the groom was freaking out about how the wedding had expanded WAY beyond original expectations, the father explained, "This isn't about you, or the bride. This is about her CLAIMING you. This is about her showing everyone in the entire community, 'You can't have this one. He's taken.' That's why there are so many guests. They want to be sure everyone who is anyone who might even try to get you know that they CAN'T HAVE YOU. The rest is just show to hammer home the point." It worked. The groom calmed down, and accepted the bloated guest list. Funnily enough, the bride was having the same issue. It turns out that they wanted a small wedding, for maybe 30 people, but BOTH mothers HAD to invite everyone they knew, and it turned into over 300, REALLY fast. That sort of change would be enough to send anyone into a panic.
When I was a toddler all my aunts and uncles were at the age to get married so i was often asked as a flower girl. My mom is a good seamstress and made me beautiful dresses. Only one of my aunts didn't want a flower girl so she made me a true nineties style flower print dress. Perfect for a 3year old. The bride wore dark green and on pure coincidence my dress matched hers perfectly. And as a hyper 3 year old I always stood at the front. People asked if I was the flower girl 🤣. 25 years later we had a big family fight and she turned out to be a terrible person to my dear grandma. So I feel no shame and am proud of my 3 year old self 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite story of Elizabeth II is when she, as a very elderly old lady, personally drove around a sexist Arabian king who had a female driving ban in his country the ENTIRE TIME he was in London. The woman actively drove an ambulance during the Blitz in WWII (she very confidently drove like an absolute maniac). Elizabeth II is the absolute Queen of the perfect petty revenges.
My cousin was 9 years old when we got married and she was our flowergirl. She wore a beautiful white dress, which she had also worn at her communion. My aunt asked my permission, but she didnt even have to in my opinion. What are people going to think? She is not a 9 year old bride. She looked angelic and seemed so happy in her special role. The memory still warms my heart so much.
Same with me! I was the ring bearer at my aunties wedding when I was 9 myself and ended up wearing the dress at my first holy communion dinner too. My aunt did not feel upstaged in any way, shape, or form, and no one complained about my outfit ☺️
I think the fact that she had a role in the wedding that made a difference. I've seen plenty of examples of the flower girl wearing white. In fact, the flower girl is one of the EXCEPTIONS to nobody wearing white except for the bride. I do think it's different if you're there as a guest, but don't have a role in the wedding- even if its a kid. Not that it's offensive, it's just not in good taste
@@LissaxKristine idk cuz a lot of little girls want to dress up as a princess and it's hard to find a dress like that for littles that's not white at least where I live. It's a little girl if you have to crap in them to feel special at ur wedding I find THAT to be the bad taste. Although as a parent I feel I would ask the bride if it's ok. Anyway either way none of it is the kids fault and I have a feeling anyone who would freak about this wouldn't be kind and gracious to a child who wouldn't be doing anything out of spite. That's my real problem.
Yeah, when I got married, there were two girls who were going to become my nieces who were a year apart in age, so I had them both as flowergirls. The dress was white with a double skirt (upper skirt was pulled up a few times with a bow at the peak). The sash and the bows were in the wedding color. Later, their mother switched out the sashes and bows for bright red to be worn at Christmas. If the whole dress had been in the pale green, that probably wouldn't have worked.
My mother taught me to be early for everything. Appointments, get togethers with friends, parties etc. A politely worded apology when things don’t go as planned is usually sufficient with most people. My sister is “entitled” and my mom encouraged that behaviour. She’s 4 1/2 years older than me. I’m in my 60’s, she’s going to be 73 on Halloween (that’s very amusing if you knew her … 🧙🏻♀️ … ) and she’s still suffering from sibling rivalry. Entitled people are the worst!
For a minute, I thought you were talking about my sister! 😅 And her birthday is very close to Halloween, and unfortunately, my mom let her get away with a lot of stuff, she be 52 and still haven’t grown up…
The fact that you had to slide in the remark, "that's very amusing if you knew her" after you speak of her 'entitlement' tells me that you're suffering from a nasty case of sibling rivalry, yourself. If you don't like your sister, don't hang out with her -- easy! Family is your *choice*, not your blood.
@@belaayya5094 She lives 400K away from me, so it’s not an issue. No rivalry, closer to hatred. When you’ve been emotionally abused and she tried to drown me when I was 6, I’m justified in my strong dislike.
Our mother's are the opposite. She's always made me later or absent so I've developed this thing where I HAVE to go early. No matter the place. If you say were going somewhere, we're going NOW.
im engaged, getting married in February, and i’ve been binging these. they make me feel so much better about how i’ve been planning my wedding and SO grateful for my bridesmaids, my mom and my future in laws 😭
Getting married in March and SAME! We are DIYing a lot of things to keep the cost down. It's stressful and a lot of work but idk how brides can take that stress out of other people.
Congratulations to both of y’all!!! Keeping the important things (fiancé/fiancée, family, and officiant) the important things and treating everything else as icing on your favorite cake will probably help the stress levels. Wishing you both happy weddings and (even more important) deep, meaningful, lifelong marriages.
@@samalvarez8776 Someone in your replies, (that doesnt share your guest list)😉, is getting married within a month, doesn't that offend you?! Ugh, the nerve of some people!
congrats just remember to enjoy every minute of your special day it goes by so fast. I've been married for 7 years and I wish I would have stressed less and enjoyed it more.
My cousin actually had a disappointing bachelorette weekend. Our "weekend" consisted of one day. We arrived at the cottage in the afternoon, enjoyed a nice lunch and spent a few hours shopping around. But we didn't stop for anything that my cousin wanted (she wanted to buy a pair of shoes and get some bubble tea. We went to no shoe stores and got ice cream). I planned a murder mystery party game and we had fun getting dressed up and doing that for a couple hours. We then went out for dinner, but afterwards everyone was saying they were tired so we didn't go to any bars or anything that my cousin might have liked. Then the next morning we got up and went to have a nice breakfast and stop at a cool looking antique shop. My cousin had fun looking at the glassware and furniture for about an hour, but everyone besides me went off on their own while she was looking at things. We left before the afternoon. There's so many of things we could have done. We could have stayed an extra day and played another party game, or we could have watched a movie or something together. Heck, I could've stretched the murder mystery party out for the whole evening and we could have gone shopping the next day, but I was told by the sister-in-law to keep it to under 3 hours so we could go shopping for most of the day. Basically, that's a long way of saying my cousin deserved way better and should have had a day that focused on her more. At least she enjoyed being the detective of the murder mystery I wrote for the group.
Honestly, when I was walking down the aisle at my wedding, I could barely tell which guests were present because I was too focused on trying not to trip on my heels (and looking at my then-fiancé waiting at the altar ^_^). The only time I knew for sure two people were there was because their two-year old was babbling during the ceremony. The thing is what when the wedding ends and you’ve had some time to cool down and reflect, the details that seemed like such a big deal to you in the months leading up to it often were insignificant when compared to who you got to share the experience with. And that one bride may come to regret giving her friend an ultimatum because of an oversight.
Exactly! The guests aren’t on your mind in the moment. My dad somehow kept stepping on my dress while we walked down the aisle lol so I was distracted and only remember seeing like one specific guest
I totally agree. I see so many potential reasons for the date mix up, in addition to the fact that we are just human beings, we all forget stuff! Plus she's just a guest, which means that she might have been able to sneak in quietly, but depending on the size of the ceremony, it may or may not be noticed, so I think informing her was polite and I would do it too. It's not like she cancelled so I don't get her reference to the catering etc. She's asked to come late, I don't know if it was part of the deleted texts, but the question wasn't how late. Was she going to miss the entire ceremony and only show up to the reception, or was she going to make it in a few minutes after everyone walked down the isle? I'm sorry, but she's not in the wedding party or staff, I cant see it as that big a deal IMO and like you said, she may regret the ultimatum especially given that the other option was probably something she wouldn’t have even noticed much less remembered
Disneybounding is a fun way to represent your favorite character by wearing matching/coordinating colors and accessories related to the character. Ursula would be a purple top with a black skirt and maybe a seashell necklace. Bc in the parks adults can’t dress up like characters so they “Disneybound”
Came here to point that out. The bride isn't asking people to dress up like characters, but to use them as inspiration for colors and accessories. I love that idea and wish I could get married just to do that. :D
Yeah there are plenty of non princess/prince characters to choose from and I think it's a fair request personally if that's their theme and the bride and groom want to do the Prince and princess thing
At our wedding, one of the guests said that she did not know if she could be there on time, but that was ok we just hope to see her. At dinner, there was a starter placed in front of her chair in case she turned up, but it wasn't a waste cause those at her table shared it between them. She did not arrive until 1 hour after we finished eating. We made sure something was made for her in the kitchen so she would not go hungry. We were just happy she made it.
When I got married , I had fun . Aside from the plain black gowns ( $85 and fit for all body types ) everything else , was up to the bridesmaids . Each bridesmaid was stunning !!! I wasn't stressed and expected nothing but a good time . The band sucked 😂 but that added to the memories . 2 decades later and people still say , " it was best wedding they ever attended " . Chill out , people !!! It's just one day ( hopefully) of your new life as a family . Don't pay thousands of dollars and have a bad time . 😘
As an Indian .. we have weddings with no concepts of rsvp and everyone remotely around the invitee may turn up at the event ... I have seen random wedding crashers million times and yes free food is the only motivation 😃
trueeee, and Indian weddings are mostly not just to celebrate the couple but also a reunion of friends, family, relatives and every other acquaintance of not just the couple but also their parents'😂........this is why Indians have big fat weddings to be honest!🤣🤣
Thing is about craft fairs, you have to pay a sometimes hefty deposit to reserve your spot, and it's non-refundable. Plus, depending on how big the event is, she could have spent the last six months preparing. What if that's her only source of income, or she was relying on that income? I get it, but...I also get it.
My friend had a light grey wedding dress and told me to put a white one on my 2 year old. She said it’s a sign of pureity, and that my daughter was probably more pure than her 😂
I was a bit triggered by the Bachelorette party. I was the MOH at my best friend's (at the time) wedding. Me and her SIL were showed to plan the party together, her doing the activity, me the after party/hotel. Her SIL stopped responding to me altogether 2 weeks prior so I had to run to do the whole thing. We were 19 so we couldn't go to a bar or club. I wanted to do a nice dinner but the bride scheduled a family dinner that night, which went until 9! I wanted to do a private pole dancing party, but it was $50 pp and I was a broke college student so I asked the attendees if they would pay for themselves for that and I would buy everything else, but not a single person would. So I thought maybe we could do what the bride and I did all the time and do a late night camping trip, just get out there at like 10pm and stay up all night getting drunk and smoking the refer, pass out, make breakfast around the campfire when we woke up, maybe take the quads out and/or go shooting. The bride tells me she scheduled a 12pm lunch with her family the morning after the party. So I decide to rent a TWO STORY resort hotel room at the Hilton nearby that is situated on a mountain with the resort cascading down the side. We had our own personal jacuzzi and there is a water park there that anyone who wanted to go to in the morning I would get passes for. I went to Fascinations and bought dirty drinking games, masks, boas, penis shaped everything, and a dirty honeymoon kit for the bride. I bought a bunch of food, and paid a friend-of-the-bride who was 21 to bring the alcohol. I invite the 10 or so ppl she wants to come, we don't have many girl friends because of our hobbies and because of the ppl we just happened to be raised with, so I wanted a coed party but she and her husband decided to have completely separate parties (then allowed 2 girls, both had previously dated the groom, to crash his bachelor party). I borrow 2 really nice red and purple convertibles and the FIVE guests that actually showed up and I go pick the bride up from her dinner and bring her to the hotel. 2 of the guests only stay for an hr. Another guest (the SIL who did nothing) decided not to stay the night. We have 2 stories of space and only 4 total ppl stay the night. The bride seems irritated which i kind of understood. However, I wasn't prepared for what the bride told me a few weeks after the wedding. She told me the party sucked and she blamed ME! I was flabbergasted. I tried so hard and spent like $350 as a 19 yo college student who had to work and pay bills. Instead of getting mad at herself for planning all that stuff around it, at the guests for not showing up or staying or agreeing to spend money for ANYTHING, at the SIL for not planning an activity, at her fiance for getting to having all their guy friends at his party and letting 2 girls crash it, at ppl for leaving early... she blamed me 🙄 our friendship feel apart after that. It really opened my eyes to some other stuff that were not great about our relationship.
My niece and daughter both wore white to my wedding because the dresses fit, looked adorable and were given to me. The girls were both 2 years old. That bride is nuts.
It wasn’t all that long ago (through the 1940s) that the larger weddings on one side of my family hosted many ladies in white; almost all the unmarried young ladies from infancy to early adulthood wore white. I actually think that’s quite sweet but these days I would NEVER wear white to a wedding.
Wearing White has become bastardized. It used to indicate purity and innocence. Any child or unmarried lady wore white to celebrate their sisters coming of age. Now it’s served as a name tag for the bride
I feel like the "white dress" rule should not prohibit children from wearing white... The white dress thing comes from the belief that white is the colour of purity and innocence therefore a bride (who would be a virgin back in the day) would be married in white... The same as black represents grief and is used for funerals... That being said, children are by default innocent and pure and should be able to wear white as well...or in gen z language: I mean you and the kids all in white, the matching aesthetic is sooo cool and it would look so great on the insta pics xD
With the craft fair one: late to the ceremony and late to the reception are two TOTALLY different things. If you’re worried about already having paid for her plate, that would be just the reception. You don’t pay for people to attend your ceremony, you usually just pay a fee to rent the space. And just because the CEREMONY starts at 4:30, doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be able to get there by the time the reception starts. Traditionally, you have the ceremony (which could be 30+ mins), a cocktail hour (at least 60 mins), AND THEN the reception. PLUS you don’t even get served food immediately upon entering the reception. That bride was completely out of line.
I remember one of these Bridezilla videos where the bride was losing her 💩 because some other family member (sister or cousin) was going to get married in the same year as her. Months apart. But she was screaming about how they were doing it on purpose and stealing the attention from her.
As someone who makes a living by making and selling stuff I can understand OP’s dilemma because it’s not just her attending a craft fair, it’s her job as a vendor and that sometimes means staying for a minimum number of hours in order to stay in good standing with that event especially if she made a lot of money for setting up her stand there. If she leaves early they may not invite her back which could have negative affects on her future income, which is definitely more of a priority than someone else’s wedding, which is one day. It rude to expect someone to mess up their job and income just to attend their wedding. Beside the catered part of the event wouldn’t have been wasted if she was just a little late for the ceremony. I had to listen to the last story a few times because I got exhausted just hearing it, and I really don’t like being rushed so I would have tapped out too. And the way she responded I wouldn’t be bothered if I was uninvited either
To me this one was like telling your friend whose boss told them if they didn’t show up to work that day they’d be fired that if they didn’t show up to the wedding you stop being their friend. Sometimes work comes before everything else because it has to. As a single mom I’ve had to miss events in my child’s life because I had to work. If my child sometimes has to miss out so do my friends. Making money comes before a frivolous event like a wedding.
To be fair though, being late to that wedding could be extremely be inconvenient. And it wouldn't be nearly as inconvenient as missing a potential client, sales, money for rent, groceries, gas, medication etc, having somewhere to live even. What could be more inconvenient than attending a wedding late.........I dare someone to find one thing that would matter more😂😂
For the last one, like WTH, like thats a lot. I think they all agreed because they wanted to make it a good weekend for her, but people have a life, and sometimes we get tired. The fact that she was upset because she didnt have her "wow" moment on the Thursday to start, I can just imagine her attitude to the rest of the events. And I'm sorry, I would not be hauling around with and changing into multiple outfits for 5 different events in a single day, thats exhausting and her general behaviour sounds exhausting enough already. I cant even get started on her update/response. Narcissism is alive and well!
@@sexigirlfay With people like this, it feels like people are more interested on their vision of how things should look, instead of trying to actually have a good time. I can't see how changing multiple times a day can be a bounding and fun activity. It's all for show and her vision. No matter what her friends did, she would have had an issue with it.
@@sabrinaspellman9598: I'm wondering why the same outfit couldn't be worn for some of the same events that are close together. Sure, if they're going to the beach they'd need to change into swimwear, but they could change back into their previous clothes afterward, couldn't they?
Ngl I'd totally go to the Disney wedding. There's a billion fashion inspiration boards based on Disney characters the guests could use for their outfits and having the kids wear costumes sounds adorable! I'm assuming the prince/princess looks might be reserved for the wedding party? Like the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen's outfits would be based on the royal Disney couples?
This might work for a friend group, but I imagine a lot of attendees would have no idea about online disney inspired fashion trends, or have any interest in them…
but not being any princess is hard...like if you want your guest be dressed like animals then you have a great time, but other than that it is hard to find some female characters that are not the princess.....like ok, the evil stepmom and her daughters or Ursula, ok the evil queen...but other than them I don´t have any female characters in mind that are not already taken by some other guest...like having to choose between 5 female character possibilities....I would probably mask as a male animal and become Scuttle from Arielle
@@insideAdirtyMind alice, wendy, lilo, sally, tinker bell, megara, jane, esmeralda, and charlotte la bouff at the top of my head. and that not including pixar characters. or those from tv series.
My wedding was a very small community building wedding. My husband and I were bombarded with the photographers taking pictures for so long that the guests (more than half that I did not know or get introduced to) sat at our table and FINISHED ALL THE FOOD. We got left overs from my sister after she realized we didn’t eat
The bridezillas whining about someone getting married around the same time is so funny! My mom, godmother and cousin got married on back to back weekends and we’re each other’s bridesmaids! Pretty much same guest list for all of them and everyone had a great time!
Do not give a crafter an ultimatum of choosing the craft show over an event that pays nothing because they will always choose the show. Why? Because craft shows are expensive and you pay to reserve your spot 1 year in advance. Then they spent a lot of time and money making enough for the show to justify all the money they spent which is a lot. My mom is a crafter and we're actually getting ready for our one and only show at the beginning of November. Being perpetually late and informing someone before hand that you will be late are not even remotely the same.
7:35 In the game Disney dreamlight valley, when you reach level 10 of friendship with Ursula, she give you a dress. Is gorgeous. The top Is black with like tentacles and the skirt is purple.
Okay, I'm not going to lie, I love the Disneybounding wedding. I live in Florida so Disney fandom is a huge thing here, for obvious reasons. There are SOOOO many amazing characters that get overlooked because people put so much focus on the princess series, so I'm not super put off by that one. I kind of get it.
@@zakosist Really stupid to expect to wear a princess gown to someone else's big day. Just don't go and wear whatever you want. Problem solved. Everyone's happy.
My wedding didn’t go to plan at all! But I did my best to go with the flow because it’s supposed to be a happy day for everyone not just the bride but also that’s how life works, nothing hardly ever goes to plan. It’s all how you make it.
why was the bride in the craft fair story even mad if she was more concerned about the cost of catering than the actual friend LOL?? the friend said she'd be Late, not Absent so she'd still be there to eat her reservation of the catering lmfaooooo
Being a vendor at a craft far can be expensive. When you add up the both rental, materials for items you sell ect. Sounds like she signed up for the fair before she knew the wedding date. She should have timed it for the reception and I don't think the bride would have known lol
When I got married (in the '90's), the groom's little 2 year old niece was the flower girl. All the wedding party dresses (including mine) were sewn from dress patterns for budget reasons. The wedding was on New Years Eve, so colors were winterish. I wore ivory satin and lace with a tulle skirt. The bridesmaids wore simple deep red velvet cocktail dresses (my sister wore hers to holiday parties for years after). The flower girl had a tulle skirt like mine and a bodice in red velvet to match the bridesmaids. It was adorable, she was adorable, and yes, she got a lot of attention. I wasn't jealous.
Hi Charlotte! Just wanted to let you know that I had my grandson over this past weekend (I've had him every other weekend since he was 18 months old - he's now 7). I usually spend every second playing with him or teaching him.... after all, he is my whole world. He's also this GREAT kid, well-mannered, kind-hearted, selfless & has a FANTASTIC sense of humor for his age. Anyway, this past weekend, I couldn't spend every second playing with him because I wasn't feeling well AT ALL, and he was so sweet to just allow me to hang out on the couch while he played or watched TV or actually waited on me (as best he could of course). And since I wasn't feeling well I wanted something good spirited to watch. What else would I have on the TV other than your videos? Ummm.... NOTHING, LOL. He was hanging out on the couch with me, playing games on his laptop & kind of watching the TV with me. After about 15 minutes, I noticed he put his laptop down & got his blanket to cover up & get comfy on the couch next to me (my house is always cold - keeps germs down & tempers low). I watched him out of the corner of my eye for the next 10 minutes or so & he was focused on your videos (I had them on a loop, mostly bridezillas so there wasn't any major adult content, not that your videos are ever inappropriate, I FEEL). After about 10 minutes I hear him laugh here & there, and then he's cracking up with each new story. I looked at him & he looked at me like.... we both were thinking the same thing (SHE'S HILARIOUS!!) He then said...."Mimi, I think this is what I want to watch every time I come over now. 😂😂😂😂 I said, "She's funny, right?". He had a big smile & said "I can't stop laughing... my cheeks hurt. " Just wanted you to know you made my icky weekend a million times better! Thank you
@@shawnycoffman a very annoying “enemy” in an online game called world of Warcraft. I haven’t played in years but that sound sure brings back memories lol
I would have just told the friend that was going to be late not to show up for the ceremony, just come for the reception. That way she could still celebrate with us but not worry about trying to rush. Everyone wins.
“Me and my 25 closest girlfriends”. You didn’t even slow down or think that was a lot. I guess I’m the weird one. I don’t even personally know 25 women if you don’t count family. Lol. I mean, I know I could name 25 women, but not even close to that many “closest friends.” I know I’m an introvert, but still, it seemed like a lot. I would be impressed with myself if I could get 5 close friends together. Edit: at the end, some other people commented about the amount of closest friends a person has. But Charlotte, your complete lack of reaction tells me you’ve experienced some craziness. Oh dear. I’d love to hear some stories. (I know, not really possible to do without starting problems in your real life, which is the last thing id want.)
And if you want the weekend to be "all about you", surely you're aware that if you invite just a small group of people, you're more likely to be the focus? If there's 25 people they're inevitably going to talk to each other without you, complain to each other about you, and then go off and do their own thing rather than follow your non-stop action plan that starts at 7am.
As an introvert, with few friends and very happy about it, when she read 25, I first thought it was a typo. And then social anxiety kicked in. 25 people for several days in a row, my personal hell hole.
@@Cynophileandavianenthusiast I just don’t think anyone has 25 genuine close friends. I think she had 25 women she was friendly with in the past along with her 3-6 actual close friends. Your close friends are gonna be thinking about you and how to make this weekend amazing for you, your acquaintances are gonna just be along for the ride. Plus, it sounded like she wanted every moment and every event (which she clearly overscheduled) to be all about her and the focus to be on her at all times. It’s too much. Maybe a few hours or a single event to be the “star”, but a couple days of nonstop “me, me,me!” Sounds exhausting. Even if it really was close friends and was only 5-10 people, she was asking too much. She didn’t want them celebrating WITH her, she wanted them to celebrate HER, which is a different thing.
@00:40 I freaking love your laughter there and the Murloc or how they're called, because I was thinking about just that! 😂😂😂👌🏻 Freaking genius move!! Subscribed after the first video I saw of you, you're just amazing!! ❤️🙌🏻
and the fun part about queen wearing white to charles and camilla's wedding is that no one, NO ONE , not even the bride is allowed to wear same colours as the queen. so camilla didnt get to wear white on her own wedding day. pfft
Every discussion I have had with persons who've been married more than once: "I wish I'd had a simple ceremony the first time! Like, a backyard reception where everyone can be comfortable and really enjoy themselves, instead of some stuffy fancy venue." I did that for my daughter's wedding (we are caterers, so had the equipment) and it was such a great time!
Florist: “I’m having surgery.” Bridezilla: “If this affects my dream wedding timeline, I’m leaving a one star review.“ Crazy how Karens get their feelings hurt because a person they’re trying to do business with had the audacity to need surgery or have any other type of emergency
I had a parent text me, the day after I found out my Mum only had weeks to live, would interfere with the singing lessons I was giving her daughter as "you're supposed to be preparing her to sing a song with the band on the cruise in 4 months". I replied (sarcastically) that if my mum died with in 2 months I'd be able to start the lessons again, but I couldn't make any guarantees. She texted back to say it was "unprofessional" to not be sure so she'd find another teacher instead... Such delightful people.
I'm not sure she was a Karen. Could she have phrased it differently, maybe. But that was a valid question. If it wasn't going to impact the wedding planning process chances are she would have not needed to share that info. Especially since she stated she had a team. That should have been seamless to the customer / bride.
@@dkimuk oh, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. And I’m sorry you had to deal with someone so inconsiderate during that difficult time. I doubt you routinely turn away business but I’m sure that you don’t miss your her business. Sending you hugs from San Antonio TX USA.
@@honestlyspeaking1332 it absolutely is a legit question and it’s understandable that a bride would be concerned about impacts to the timeline. It just comes across as cold, selfish, and entitled to not express humanity toward someone attempting to make the day special. I can see both sides of the argument.
I literally lost a friend because she couldn’t handle me hosting a PARTY within a month of her wedding 😂 So she decided to courtroom marry before my wedding date so she could handle her wounded ego. Thankfully mine’s stronger😂😂😂 She also went through at LEAST 3 MOH and the last MOH standing also was her photographer (gifted) when she didn’t get her photos within the first week of her wedding party she and her now husband threatened the MOH by saying they would take her to court and in the mean time would hold onto any items she left at their house day of the wedding party. One particular line that still pisses me off is her texting MOH to say “I can afford going to court but I don’t think you can 😏” I was so tempted to unblock her just to text her “Omg i heard the news that you can afford court now!!!🎉🎉🎉 wanted to offer this advice as a wedding gift 💝…go to therapy instead!❤” I chose not to and am instead putting this tale in the comments. Hopefully she’ll see it, but I really don’t think she will because all the bridezilla stories hit too close to home 😂
OK you said two completely different things. You started off by saying it was a party and then you said it was a wedding. Did you plan a wedding a month before your friends wedding? “So she decided to courtroom marry before *my wedding date* so she could handle her wounded ego.” It honestly sounds like you planned a wedding a month before your friends wedding. And if that’s the case you’re the asshole.
I find people like your former friend so odd. Two of my cousins are getting married (they will be the first two of ten cousins to do so). Independently of each other, they both chose the same month (thankfully two weeks apart). As far as I know, precisely zero drama has ensued. Knowing them, I think they're mostly just relieved they didn't book the same day.
I just had the thought that it'd be nice if we could quarantine all narcissists like this together, away from the rest of us. Did you ever find out what happened with the finalized MOH and the lawsuit threat?
It always makes me laugh when you say “y’all know how I feel about people being late” and I don’t think I was around when that started but as I have been watching you for a few weeks now I just DO know how you feel about people being late 🤣
Dang I missed an opportunity to tell all the little girls attending my wedding to dress as the princessiest princess they can. I would adore having a little girl in a floofy white dress at my wedding 😍 So cute!!!
The guest with the craft fair. I think it is important to understand that for some people craft fairs IS their livelihood and they don't happen every day of the week. This guest tried to reconcile with the bride.
Here's how I'd do a disney-bound Ursula look: Black dress with various shades of purple accessories (or even a black/purple ombré dress), a necklace that matches hers, white wig (potentially optional depending on dresscode). Loads of glamour. For a casual version: black dress with purple tentacle/octopus-print, pearl accessories and a necklace that matches hers. Makeup to match (wig optional). Purple gloves and fabulous shades optional.
@Freja Lindberg well my definition of casual anyway lol. Pretty sure I saw DraculaClothing have a dress with octopus on it at some point (though they may have been orange not purple). Also would not be surprised if someone like Blackmilk Clothing either did or would do a print like that at some point.
That last one reminded me of my (now ex) best friend 😮 She isn’t married, but this is how she operates. She relies on other people to build her up by fawning over her, blames everyone else for any negative emotions she has, and is manipulative in a guilt-trip way (posing as the victim no matter what the circumstances are). It is literally a form of abuse. I threw up a little when she got to the part where she left the girls to clean up the mess, and justified it “bEcAuSe i wAs sAd”. 🙄
"You have to be Disney themed, but you can't be a prince or princess!" Me, who not only has a fixation on Disney, but has a knack for liking crappy movies for some reason: "Hmm... does Quorra count as a princess?" Addition: Also, since I know Disney, but a primary part of my fixation is planning Disney vacations (WDW is a favorite personal challenge of mine if I need to destress, welcome to autism) I think the lady towards the end, with the giant bachelorette party, actually made a Disney mistake on accident, hilariously. WDW is miles on foot, in the sun, you have to change clothes for different events, and you have to do 5000 different things in the 3 days you paid for before you fly back home. And people mistakenly think that the best way to cram the most shit into this time is to power through it like superman. But that leads to burnout, screaming children, and being fucking miserable. It's just like the concept that if you stay up all night, you have more hours of the day: no, you don't, you just made yourself tired, and half as productive. As stupid as it sounds, if you need to take a break or even a nap at WDW, it's recommended because walking miles to power through is not worth becoming miserable and not enjoying your time. And that's the mistake Bridezilla made. You can have a crazy-ass bachelorette. I mean, when I hear of the shit that goes on normally, I wonder what goes on in y'all's heads, since I have no idea why you'd want ding-dongs everywhere as decorations, but ok. But she was making everyone trudge with changes of clothes and do a ton of shit with no breaks. And based on how she said they agreed to it before, I think they thought there would be some kind of leniency between activities instead of go-go-go. If they all just went back to their room and took a break to chill out, they probably would have had a great time, and still gotten everything done. Instead Bridezilla got upset over people getting worn out and left before she could enjoy anything.
I wore a white blouse to my sister's wedding, but she's the one who picked it out for me lmaoo I think the jist is, don't wear a white bridal looking outfit. And i dont think a toddler counts...
I personally think it might be a british story. Flower girls often wear white in the UK so I'm wondering if the sister was mad her daughter wasn't a flower girl
The restriction for no prince or princess characters is a bit much considering how prominent those are in disney movies, the idea of a disney bound dress code for a wedding is pretty awesome. There's some pretty cool looks you can get from that.
if you wanna dress up like ursula without wearing an actual costume there's actually an officially licensed ursula-inspired dress out there. I don't think its being sold in stores anymore but you may still be able to find one. it's a flowy black ankle length cold-shoulder dress with a purple tentacle pattern around the bottom. One of my favorite dresses. I wear it all the time.
Bonus fact for the queen wearing white - notice how Camillas Dress is 'not' white? That's because nobody is allowed to wear the same color as the queen. She did not only wore white herself. She also made sure Camilla, is NOT wearing it to her own wedding.
I’m convinced charlotte and I are secretly long lost Romanian sisters. When the Disney dress code came up my first reaction was “okay so how do I do an Ursula outfit?” 😂😂😂😂
Dark purple, black, or purple-and- black dress, ideally with a flowy look; teal eye shadow; seashell jewelry. "Disneybounding" is dressing in Disney-inspired outfits without wearing the actual costume, because the parks have rules against adults and teenagers cosplaying their characters lest small children mistake them for staff.
Hey girlie!!! Another amazing Charlotte video to start the day! Thanks for everything you do for all of us girl!! And best of luck with the new show too!!
I was in a white dress when I was 10 at my cousin's wedding but then again I was the oldest of the 3 flower girls. I still have it, it had pink rose petals in the skirt and a pink sash with a pink rose pinned to it but it was mainly white. Plus she picked it out for me.
At 12:00, I feel like she was the a-hole for expecting so much in so little time. Her friends were kinda a-holes when they didn’t wear the shirts and went out without her though. Like, I thought it was common to match at least 1 day during a bachelorette. Also, ya she was being rude and petty and a bridezilla, but you don’t just go party without your friend when she’s upset, whether she’s right or no. Also, one of the bridesmaids should have discussed the schedule with her ages before the party and asked if they could add another day and spread the activities out
I will refer to my ex-best friend as "Abby". Three weeks before Abby's wedding, she kicked me out of her bridal party because I wasn't able to make it to all three of her showers and two bachelorette parties (I attended one of each) because I worked two jobs and she was making the whole process pretty complicated. Shopping for our bridesmaid dresses was ridiculous! Abby claimed that she wanted us to be happy with how they fit and she said that she didn't expect us to spend more than $90 - $120. After asking all five of us which we liked best, we all agreed on two. Well, Abby must have decided that she didn't want us to look good and chose these gaudy, lime green sleeveless pieces that puffed out at the knees and had a deep v in the front and back, causing the top of the dress to continuously feel like it's falling off the shoulders. The dress cost $250 before I even had it altered. Anyways... Abby didn't had a job. Her fiance supported her for years so I can't imagine she understood what it was like to actually be working for a living. She had also made it clear to me that she understood that I would do my best to attend what I could. I was her best friend and she really wanted me there . However, the morning following one fateful night at her favourite club (bachelorette party - I knew the owner so I got the entire party in for free and a bunch of drinks comped), I received a phone call from Abby telling me it's my fault that she got hit by a stall door when she went to the bathroom to pee because I wasn't there in that moment. She then proceeded to unload on me that she was pissed I couldn't't make it to all of her pre-wedding events and that I would no longer be a bridesmaid because that would end our friendship. 🙄 Buuut... She still expected me to do her nails. Of course, I did not oblige because I was hurt and annoyed and FUCK THAT AUDACITY. I felt like it was a blessing in disguise, though, because she replaced me with another girl who was roughly my size who bought the dress off me so I dodged a few bullets! I think the best part is that Abby still expected me to show up for the entirety of her wedding day. Before AND after the ceremony, she was texting me saying she couldn't wait to see me and hoped I was going to be there. Well, I had decided to work at least a half day at the salon because... Why the fuck not, I guess?! Haha The festivities were to begin at 2pm and my last client was booked at noon for a cut and colour. *I should add that the wedding was in our hometown 3 hours from where I lived so I knew I would not make it to the ceremony. 😏 After finishing up at work, I took my time packing stuff to go back to my parents' farm. I arrived there just before 5pm while the supper reception was well underway (I had no intention of attending). BUT, after giving it some thought, my mom and I decided we'd make an appearance at the dance! I had long, platinum hair with baby pink peekaboos that I put into loose curls and I donned a strapless, fitted, knee-length black satin dress with a slit in the back and a pair of strappy, black heels! We arrived shortly after 9pm when the dance portion had started. Ironically, Abby was the first person I saw when I walked into the building. She came up to me, excitedly, giving me a hug and saying she was happy I could come. I said "you're welcome" and proceeded to drop off a gift and card (I'm petty but I still respect tradition and her husband is a really good dude). In closing, many people knew what had happened and of course they were talking (small town gossip) and what they were saying was that Abby was a bridezilla and I was super brave for making an appearance! And, needless to say, we have never rekindled our friendship. She has made a few attempts but I refuse to make space for that kind of bullshit in my life! The moral here? Don't. Be. Bitch. 🖖🏻
I've been to four weddings, and I was the flower girl at all of them 😂 (I wore a white dress and white shoes and nobody was upset?) Anyway, I just wanna say how much I love my family and their weddings. We live in the countryside and they had gorgeous, low budget weddings with family and close friends who were basically family. Even as a child I knew they were great weddings and they treated everyone well (more often than not EVERYONE in the family helped with the wedding plans) It was so sweet, and I've never experience a bridezilla 😂
She isn't attending a craft fair. She paid to have a vendor booth/table at a craft fair to sell items she made. Huge difference!
Yes. It's the normal corporate equivalent of having booked a really important meeting that day. Except a meeting would probably be easier to reschedule. If she didn't say anything the bride probably wouldn't even have noticed she was late
@@NHarts3 Yeah... and that's the worst part. She was being kind and considerate and apologetic, and the bridezilla just exploded for no real reason.
Not to mention losing the money spent on inventory and the potential of being denied by the venue in the future
Plus, if that’s her main form of income, how else does the Bride expect her to be able to afford to come? Weddings can get pricey, ever just to attend. You can’t tell a guest to put their job in jeopardy to come to your wedding when it’s that job that’s paying for their ability to show up looking nice and with a gift in the first place, right?
I absolutely think the bride should have just accepted that either the person would be late, or said, "You know what, the reception begins at X time, just come to that." But at the same time, unless EVERYONE else that guest knew was going to be at the wedding/otherwise busy, she very easily could have asked someone to come with her to the craft fair and sit at the table until it ended. I've done a few craft fairs, and that's what I did for the first one. I asked someone I knew to come with me to be an extra set of eyes at the table, and to be the one to sit there in case I had to use the bathroom, or wanted to get food, or something. Turned out she absolutely wasn't needed, because it wasn't as crowded as I was expecting, but it was still a good thing to have a second person around.
Fun fact: no one in the royal family can wear the same color to an event as the queen. That's why Camilla's dress wasn't white. She couldn't wear white to her own wedding because the queen was wearing it
That is fucking hysterical honestly 😂
That just makes the Queens Tea event even worse.
also the Queen frowns on anyone wearing White when it is second time around...apparently she was disappointed with NutMeg wore white...LOL...oh the Royal rules
@@sammie20 - Not only royal rules, common rules. Second wedding - don't wear white. Nutmeg (her third, or second wedding?) really made a faux pas wearing white and that horrible, long veil.
Big pimping style
People seriously need to remember that the purpose of a wedding is to make a public statement of commitment and love to one another. No matter how many plans go awry, at the end of the day you will be married to the person you love. Literally everything else is just fluff. So chill out, expect the unexpected and enjoy the day with your partner.
Yes exactly. I had a beautiful small wedding. My parents weren't able to come because my dad is going through chemo. But we video called through the whole ceremony and I had my father in-law walk me down the isle. There was a child there who sneezed all over our beautiful cake. So we just cut a small piece off the opposite side for our cake cutting moment. These things didn't matter to me I was just happy to marry the love of my life! Ive been happily married for 2 weeks now and looking forward to a life time of happiness.
💯❣️
I think in many cases it's also a society sign of where the bride and groom expect to position themselves socially, or at least that's how many bridezillas seem to treat it
Well that fluff is expensive.
Actually that’s the purpose of a wedding to you. To a bridezilla the purpose of a wedding is to put them up on a pedestal and to make everybody look at them. You do get that your perspective is not the only perspective right?
That last one...hoo wee! As an introvert, spending 4 days with 25 other people on a nonstop itinerary of activities is the stuff of my nightmares. You have to give people time to decompress and not fawn over you 24/7.
I’m with you - I felt myself visibly sweating at the whole idea
I agree
It sounds like hell to me.
From the sound of it, she was getting them up at 7am, dragging them around all day, and still expected them to go to the club and party all night - just to rinse and repeat the next day. If they're partying til even at the earliest of midnight, they would still have to head back to the house, take turns showering (all 25 people!) and be able to do their bedtime routine, which could take 1 to 2 hours, so they may not get into bed til 2 or 3am... and she was still demanding they be up at 7 for a 9am brunch? GIRL! WTF! I'd be passed out until noon or 1pm if I had to go through even one of those exhausting days. Even if they paid for it, let people rest.
Was just about to say how does she have '25 of her closest girl friends' bro I don't even have 25 friends let alone having to whittle it down to 25 of the closest😂
I’ve attended a bachelorette “party” type thing that was like this. I couldn’t make half of the events that day because I had to come in from out of state and I still was overwhelmed.
My florist's 2 wk old granddaughter passed away 1 wk before my wedding. I was so heartbroken for her. There was no way I was going to call her & ask if she was still going to show on the wedding day. I just figured that if we didn't have flowers then there was a very understandable reason why. The day of the wedding I showed up to the venue & my florist was there. She even went above & beyond without charging us any extra, telling me she poured some of her grief into what she loves doing.
What a kind hearted woman. God bless her❤
Why are my eyes suddenly feeling so wet
Congratulations on being a reasonable person. I do hope the florist is doing better now.
Me as an introvert hearing someone organising a bachelorette weekend with 25 of their “closest friends” 😅 👀
I’m kinda considered an extrovert and I did a double take at that. A weekend with that many people in one house doesn’t sound like fun to me. I would just have my bridal party.
I don't think I even know 25 people who aren't family 😂😂
For real. Me and my partner would probably have 25 people to invite to our wedding total. No way we’d have anywhere near that for a minor pre wedding festivity
I have three friends. that's it. then I have a brother, his wive and her family, who I'm also close with, and cousins. Even if I included colleagues I'm friendly with, I would never get 25 people :D
That is way too many people to herd and decorating a whole house takes time. Not to mention, they don’t have to decorate. Also, it sounds like she invited too many people just to split the bill. Also, help clean up. Yes you are the bride but it’s not that hard to put stuff in a garbage bag. Yikes.
My dad was late to my wedding lol My husband and I walked in together, so it’s not like he missed walking me down the aisle. I realized the chair up front was empty, but when we turned around to go to the unity candle, it gave me the biggest smile to see him standing in the back. Just be glad people made it!
This is so true. My friend (the groom) was getting married and I am ALWAYS EARLY for everything, but I got hella sick the night before. And even though I didnt want to stress him out, I texted in the night that somethings wrong, but I'll be there. Next morning, I still wasn't better and sent another text that I was running behind, so I might there late, and because it was during Covid-19, the guest list was very small, so sneaking wasn't really possible. We've been close friends for years and I didnt want to miss it and told him I'd stay to the very back if they've started. He didnt care one bit, he was just happy I was still trying to make it but said he understood if I couldn't because I'm never one to not show up. In the end I was late, but so was the actual wedding proceedings, so it was doubly irrelevant . My point is, she may have been late, or maybe something changed and she might’ve been just on time, but as you said, being there at all is the only thing that matters.
Re: story where bride is pissed because OP has craft fair I have friends who sold their goods at craft fairs - some spaces have to be booked a year in advance and your items are judged by a committee before you are allowed a spot. One friend could clear over $1,000 a weekend. She worked for 6-8 months making amazing, hand painted silk items for the craft fair season, which is very short, usually just before the holidays. And yes, they are very, very firm about set-up and take down times. If people leave early, it throws off the entire show and leaves an enormous gap, so vendors have to make a professional commitment. It's basically running a 2nd job, and these folks put in long hours to prepare, pack their cars, set up tents, tables, etc, sell their items, take down, repack and drive it all home every freakin' show. Plus worry about items being damaged, stolen, etc. it's not just tossing some clothes pin owls in a dish and having people buy them for big bucks.
🏆
I’m glad you explained. I thought she was doing arts and crafts with some strangers on the day of the wedding or buying stuff at a crafts fair and she just really liked crafts and that’s why she wanted to go and I was like MA’AM??? I didn’t realize when she said she had been making crafts for months that she was making them to sell like her job.
One of my good friends showed up late to my wedding. Missed the entire ceremony and most of the reception. I didn't question our friendship, I was worried something had happened to her. When she and her husband showed up, we had a laugh about the fact that they forgot I live in a timezone an hour ahead and that's why they were so late
Ok, so she was late for good cause? What about if she said “I wanted to go to this art show, i forgot your wedding “ I cannot understand this. How do people choose this? Can you explain?
I don’t know- maybe having no one ever show support, I can understand the frustration between friends when one choose crafts. Like, do I choose to wash my hair or go see my niece perform for the first time and she has put sooo much work into it and expressed her desire for me to be there- I just cannot get it.
@@ClementineShmementineshe wasn’t just going to a craft fair to have fun, she was paying for a spot as a vendor. She worked for months and probably expected to make a fair bit of money, so this isn’t a fun outing or a frivolous thing like washing your hair(?? lmao weird comparison)-for her it would be more like a business trip.
Plus, she said she would be there, but late. I don’t see the big deal about that? Maybe it’s just because I’m late to everything, but if I valued someone’s presence at my wedding, I’d rather them show up late than not go at all.
@@ClementineShmementine I don't think you understand what going to that craft fair was all about. It wasn't something out of pure fun. She had already signed up for a spot as a vendor to sell her crafts and those entrance fees can get real pricy. $100 and up pricey. And if this is a huge source of her income then going is very important to her. Obviously they need to pay their bills like everyone else as well.
Besides had she allowed herself to be guilted into dropping the craft fair, she could have risked not being allowed a spot in the future in that marketplace. That's too many negatives to ignore just cause a friend can't handle you being a bit late. Comparing washing your hair and seeing your nieces perform is such a bad comparison to this. It's not even close.
@@K000H she had that hobby for 5 months! It was not a career it was not so important. She even had that hobby for less time than the wedding was planned. How important it can be? She can’t be even good enough at it yet. It’s 5 months! I absolutely bet she is just sloppy lazy unorganized person who just doesn’t care much about others.
The fact that the bride dreamed about her bachelorette more than her actual wedding or marriage makes me sad for the groom tbh
Yes! I know some people get hated on for dreaming of their wedding, but it's different to expect one person to be your everything vs 25 other people! This sounds like a kindergarten birthday party, it's crazy
FYI, i simply cannot abide the word Bachelorette. 🥰
10:30 - "my 25 closest girlfriends..." I think I don't even know 25 people who I would want to see more than once a month
That's her issue lol. She confusing casual friends with close friends. Which is truly sad because that probably means she isn't really sure what it means to be a close friend to someone.
One of my brothers got married on Halloween. The entire guest list showed up in costume as they would for a Halloween pub crawl. IT WAS THE BEST WEDDING I’VE EVER ATTENDED!!! My brother was dressed like a Disney prince and his wife was in a GLORIOUS princess ball gown (think a white Cinderella dress). My daughter was one of 4 flower girls dressed up like fairies with wings and my lesbian aunts showed up dressed like a nun and Chuck Norris and got everyone stoned while my sister’s boyfriend wore a cow costume that had bottles of hard liquor attached to each of the udders. I’m so sad I can’t find the picture of my 60 year old lesbian auntie, dressed like a nun pulling Jack Daniels out of the cows udders😂
As someone who finds weddings an absolute bore, this sounds like the most Amazing wedding party! 🥳
I'm sad I didn't get to go to that wedding!
Ok y’all sound like you need to be planning weddings because that sounds like such a damn blast 😂!!!!
Bro i love the cow udders thing 😂😂😂
@@backdoorsluts_9 it was AMAZING😂
I'm married, and I just cannot comprehend the concept of being so upset that a typical guest may be late to your wedding. The guest is still going out of their own way to attend and celebrate your wedding, period. Therefore, they care enough about you to take time out of their life to do so, late or not, and that should be something to appreciate.
it honestly depends, my wedding charged per plate for the reception so someone being late and you are paying for it yourself could be a problem. cause the late guest has to pack up from the fair, haul unsold stuff back home potentially, get changed and go to venue. If the wedding was at 4:30pm that's high traffic depending where you live.
@@catandrobbyflores Agreed here. My venue charged attendance per person, not including catering. Some people didn't come to the ceremony and only showed up to the reception dinner (no explanation given), and some didn't stay for dinner (which I understand as they had young kids). It cost us a fair bit for no reason. If they'd told us beforehand, we could have budgeted for it or just told these late people not to bother coming.
I would be a little disappointed that my friend signed herself up for something on the day of my wedding/important life event, but she's also my friend so I would understand and appreciate the heads-up. I wouldn't want her to miss out on an important career / hobby opportunity.
It’s just rude to be late in general and it’s particularly rude to be late to a wedding Things do happen, but I think “oops I signed up for a craft show and didn’t realise, mind if I show up late” is just super rude and flippant. I’d be annoyed by this, but then I have a small friend circle so it would be excessively insulting.
I'll never get why people freak out over this stuff. I'm never getting married but if I did it would just be a nice ceremony with everything looking good and potluck afterwards. People make the most amazing things when it's potluck. I remember my sister's wedding was supposed to be outside on the lake at her former foster mom's house (former foster mom remarried very well) with an Irish priest and Unity Candle. And then it rained. I asked Pam what to do and she said we were bringing everything inside. So there were like 50 guests packed in the livingroom of the house and the hallway was the aisle. It was so beautiful though because my nephew was the ringbearer and then they did the Unity Candle to bring the kids into the ceremony. At one point my niece shouted "Go Leafs Go!" in the middle of the ceremony and my sister was like "Ahhhhhh!" Was so hilarious. Afterwards it stopped raining and we all went out to the lawn with the nice tables and centerpieces. Everyone brought something and I stuffed myself on great food that everyone bought. That's how I got the idea for potluck. Gifts were left on the table in the house. You don't have to have a perfect wedding for it to be so special.
OMG my florist was slow with responses and stuff ~8 weeks out and apologized profusely as she'd had an injury and was dealing with a sick family member. I said, "no worries, I've seen your gallery, I'm not concerned :)" and the flowers on our wedding day were spectacular. A friend said she had to RSVP "no" because she wasn't sure if she could get the day off work. I told her not to worry about the RSVP date, the caterer needed to know 5 days in advance so as long as she got back to me by then no problem. I had a few guests like that and ended up estimating 2 extra guests just in case someone was able to make it last minute. At the end of the night, the caterer packed up the leftover food in boxes and it's all I ate for a week. No regrets. Not that hard to just be decent.
My husband's aunt, who was not invited to our wedding because she loves drama and we do not, showed up. We think his mom invited her because all her other sisters came and think she felt bad. It's been 4 Years and I JUST realized she wore a white dress. I didn't even wear a white dress, I wore off white lace with peach underneath, lol.
One of my little cousins wore a white dress and most of my family wore black lol no one is looking at what the guests wear.
It's not that the girl is running LATE, it's that she has another obligation she likely spent a good chunk of money on, and won't be ABLE to get there on time. Reserving a table at a craft fair can be like fiive hundred bucks.
Yes! Came here to say this. Those things are expensive and competitive to get into.
I'm sorry, but where in the world is a craft fair going to charge $500?? If we're getting into the hundreds, then that's 'vendor at a comic convention' prices. I've done craft fairs, and the most I've ever seen a table go for is $60 for one space. On average, it's usually $15-$20.
That said, I do think the bride overreacted and if being late was such an issue, should have just said, "The reception starts at X time, just skip the ceremony and come to the reception."
In Vancouver craft fairs can be really expensive. We paid $2500 for a Christmas show that was a 5 day event.
@@kateworkman921 Where I am, $40 is cheap and bigger ones can be upwards of $200. Not to mention the time and money put into inventory to sell. She could be looking at a big loss of income by missing the show, not to mention potentially being blacklisted by the coordinator for future shows.
@@kateworkman921 I know I'm in a different country but I just checked for a craft fair happening close to me and the booths start at just under $1k. Halve that to account for differrent living standards and taxes and all and it's roughly $500. So...in my part of the world, I guess. :)
For the last one, the edit response sounded so sarcastic. She clearly didn’t understand the comments and just wanted someone to give her positive affirmation, and then got mad when no one was on her side.
Unless they're part of a military unit or a kindergarten class, getting 25 people to do the same things together is nigh impossible.
@@tintinismybelgian exactly, I imagine it's like trying to heard cats. Plus wake me at 7am without coffee in hand...... no thanks.
@@jmev.4732 I have to herd 5 cats twice a day for mealtimes. It's no picnic, sometimes.

Regarding first bridezilla:
Bride enters reception area with new husband and people applaud, laughing, smiling, shouting, "It's the bride!"
Then a two-year-old accompanied by her mother enters. The little girl is wearing white and the room goes silent, followed by confused murmurs of "Wait - is that the bride? I thought she already came in!" and "Did the... where's the groom?" and "Oh, no, don't tell me the groom married a two-year-old! How disgusting!"
To quote the Mandalorian, "Sigh."
🤣
Exactly!
It is so amazing how they managed to make the taciturn character that hides his face all the time the by fare most expressiv one!!!
@@SingingSealRiana Right? His ability to make his body language and line delivery so expressive is amazing.
😂🤣
My 17 month old daughter wore white to our wedding. She was adorable and made me tear up. She walked down the isle as a flower girl. (I was so proud she did so well being so young). She also found her posing ability at the post ceremony photos.
That's good.
The problem appears when people forget it isn't their wedding.
@@enibeni2071 Children are EXEMPT from the "no white" rule. No one has to ask the bride if their TODDLER can wear white.
My friend burned bridges with her bridesmaids bc of her bachelorette. I met them at her house after I set up the cutest little party and when they got there everyone was pretty grumpy. I asked one of the bridesmaids what was going on and they said even tho they took her on such an incredible day adventure (I would have loved it!) she was mad they didn’t go somewhere on a flight like to Vegas. All of her bridesmaids work WITH her at a retail store at the time Aka she knows none of them make big bucks. It was so awkward….
The actual Queen of England being the Queen of Petty is just perfection!
Queen regent of the twin kingdoms. Her majesty. God rest her soul.
Amazing burn!!
She was amazing, fair play!
It would be petty if the reason the Queen wore white was true. But it isn't as Camilla didn't wear white to Charles and Diana's wedding, she wore a light grey.
But hey why let the truth get in the way of a good story.
@@vickytoria72 Any color light enough to be mistaken for white is generally frowned on - white, ivory, cream, and yes, possibly pale grey. And we all know that Camilla was Charles's side piece for years, including after he was married.. She shouldn't even have been there at all.
I was a bride. Wasn't that stressful. It can be if you're not flexible. I had a vision. My mom and I worked hard for MONTHS. It was a LOT of fun and our wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Be flexible, be forgiving and have FUN while planning.
Seriously. Same with me. Me and my husband work for months on the wedding. I made my own dress, cake structure, wedding cards and gifts packs. We send the invites and expected nothing from guests. I never cared when they came, what they wore, and whether people in my bridal group "aesthetically" pleasing. All I cared was I was getting married and whether guests are comfortable and have a good time. Since my wedding was bit far from my hometown I even arranged transportation at my cost so they can attend the wedding. 10 years later I still over the moon with my wedding and so are the guests.
Seriously! I turned forty in July, and I had this entire vision of having a huge 40th, with my best friends there, several other friends, karaoke time, a whole bunch of games/trivia, whole bunch of food, the place decorated out, etc.
And then reality of peoples' jobs, inability to get time off, costs of different things, time limits on stuff, and other factors made me have to scale back considerably on my initial vision. In the end, it wasn't anything like what I'd pictured at the start, but it was still a fun day and worth it, but flexibility is key. Because if I had been inflexible? It would have sucked.
Yeah me too! I think my mum was stressed though 🤣
'being flexible' is exactly what was running through my head during that last bachelorette story.
The number of time I visited a friend, they visited me, we had plans (had fun making them;) and then changed them on the fly as we felt lazy or wanted to spend more time somewhere else...
The point was spending time together.
And what the hell is that with 25 closest friends!!? That's a freaking school class.
For real. I got married 3 years ago, and had to rework certain that I don't remember now at this point. My younger sister got married this summer and as advice to her, I informed her to be ready to compromise on a few things. She took it well and her wedding was beautiful.
It's common in the UK for the flower girls to wear white. Most royal weddings and even ones in movies regarding weddings in the UK have their flower girls wearing white dresses. It tends to be a cultural thing when it comes to wedding customs and what is deemed appropriate and inappropriate 🤷♀️
I was thinking that. My family has rule where by you can't have a husbands family in the bridal party and vise versa. My cousins sister in law was mad her daughter wasn't a flower girl (there were already 4 includeing myself and 8 bridemaids) so the sister in law put her in a white flower girl dress with basket to make it look like she was a flower girl in pictures.
The rule comes from the fact we have an 80% divorce rate in my family and only ever have family photos at weddings.
I was a flower girl when I was 7, along with my now-aunt's 4-year-old niece (and her 6-year-old nephew was ring bearer). I'm pretty sure we wore white and he wore a suit, and now that I'm thinking of it, I guess I assumed flower girls and ring bearers were Supposed to match the couple. 😂
The bride looks extra unstable if she is jealous of a toddler. If this was an adult who picked their own outfit and knew they were going to a wedding, and the stigma attached to wearing white, that is different.
The fact that her parents are ballsy enough to put a toddler in white knowing that dress is going to be destroyed in 4 hours should be the only eyebrow raiser.
It's also normal in the US for the flower girl to wear white.
I don't think the 2 year old was a flower girl? But still stupid, obviously toddlers are exempt from the rule
@@LadyCheshire95 Maybe that’s the reason for the high divorce rate
Being concerned that a two-year-old will upstage your wedding because of what she's wearing without realizing she's going to upstage you regardless because she's a baby and everyone loves babies, is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.
Well known fact not to dress a kid or adult in white . Maybe if it’s YOUR child but not some other kid
@@Gemmaleedsrose My point was that babies at weddings usually upstage the bride and groom for no other reason than they're babies. If you're so insecure about attention, don't invite children in the first place. A lot of people are going to hate you and talk about you behind your back, but it's something you can do.
@@elainagilbert7663 I am still correct, you don’t dress anybody babies or adults in white.
@@Gemmaleedsrose People who get offended by children/babies are ludicrous. I've never known anybody to care what a child or baby wears to a wedding. Those rules only apply to adults.
@@Gemmaleedsrose you are not correct. In my country and many others the flower girls are usually dressed in white. I have been flower girls myself and dressed in white. White is the colour of purity that is why kids are able to wear white even at weddings.
1:25 rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth, you absolute legend.
Fun fact! Children, especially girls/flower girls, wearing white at a wedding can symbolize youth and infinite love. I've seen somewhere that it can also be seen as a wish for fertility for the couple?
Either way, my niece wore a white dress at my wedding and she was angelic. I definitely didn't feel upstaged by a toddler and Bridezilla #1 needs to chiiiiill XD
Edit: My sister in law also asked permission for my niece to wear white before the event. Overall, that's the way to do it lol XD
Kids are the only ones that can get away with wearing white to a wedding! They are innocent 😇 they are pure 😇 they are love ❤️
My sister's wedding fell through a month before it was supposed to take place, two month before mine. You're damn right I asked my niece to wear her white flower girl dress and asked the guests to wear blue so that some of the ladies in my sister's bridal party could still have a chance to wear their dresses.
ikr! I'm surprised Charlotte didn't say it's common for the flower girls to wear white because they're CHILDREN and still young / innocent / youthful. It's ADULTS and WEDDING GUESTS who should never wear white to a wedding, smh
Yeah we've always had this in our family for the weddings. I never really thought of that until seeing this lol. I clearly remember wearing white as the flower girl to my cousins wedding when I was little and it being a problem for the brides side of the family ( we were on the grooms side of the family) and my mom was really mad and I specifically remember this because i rarely ever see my mom mad, unless its at my dad or my sister lol. And because my grandma chased me all around making sure I didn't get it dirty. huh, to think someone talked shit about a little girl shows how insecure those people were and why the marriage didn't last more than a few months.
unless you intentionally have your kid wear white with the intent to upstage. a friend of my evil crazy aunt had her boyfriend, kids, and herself in all white, down to nail polish and jewelry. They even had platinum/ white highlights in their hair!! said friend later bragged that even her underwear & bra were white. she got booted, then white about how mean the bride & groom were being to her, despite making it clear she was trying to be as disrespectful as possible. my aunt supported her, Hating the bride, and also attempted her own kind of butchery at my mom's wedding. but now they don't talk, simply for the fact that my aunt is okay with everyone else being disrespected, but can't stand it when it's her turn. pretty sure they tried to fight to the death at some point after falling out. the reason? the friend insulted that my aunt was fat at her wedding, and tried to gain sympathy by blabbing, in gory detail, about her supposed miscarriage.
I'm so glad my wedding was low-key. We had a small ceremony but a big party. We told guests to bring alcohol instead of a gift and we had food trucks for food and a DJ for music. We partied all night and used the money we had saved for a house.
This sounds awesome!
for a sec I read that you used the money you saved up for a house---- one breath-- for the party all night. LOL no I got it the second read through! I think my friends and I all plan to do the same, simple wedding, and fun party without worrying about all the extra finances involved.
Great idea @ bring alcohol instead of gift!
My best friend for nearly my whole life just got married a few months ago, and her wedding was not even close to what I would call stressful, not even for her. And while it was "her day," she made it a day for all of us together as well; Family, friends, her now-husband. All around perfect, there was so much love between all of us (her and us bridesmaids,) that I can't imagine it being any other way between a bride and the women she considers closest to her. Seriously can't understand how or why some brides have to make it a nightmare for everyone involved.
This is what I hope people said about my wedding
I kinda wish I was at this wedding.. the love sounds magical 🙋🏽♀️🥰🥰🥰
If my friend was signed up to VEND a craft fair at the same time as my wedding I'd tell them they can just come to the reception if they're worried and go get that bag. In this economy I don't wanna tell people not to do what they gotta do to get paid.
I had no idea about the Queen and Camila wearing white at the weddings. But good for Lilibet, she was like "oh, you think you're savage? I'll show you savage..."
I got married 14 years ago and something that really rubbed me the wrong way was the ideology of "this day is all about you" and "you're a princess".
A wedding is a community event where a couple publicly declares their lifelong commitment to each other. It's not really about how "special" either the bride or groom is, it's about the two people transitioning through phases of life in the context of the community.
Or maybe that's just me.
No, it's not just you.
I read an article that was in the opinion that weddings are meant for everybody else (family, friends) instead of the couple.
Yes, it's kind of a rite of passage. It's about the couple as a unit (not about either of the individuals in it) and their place in the community. Or, you know, you can just get married quietly in a registry office if it suits your needs better
It's not just you.
My mother was one of several brides on the same day at the church, and was almost forgotten, in the shuffle.
However, she GOT MARRIED, and that was all that mattered to her. Her friends were there, they supported her, they all got some lunch after the wedding, and then Mom and Dad went bowling. That's how low-key the wedding was.
Compared to the high-key weddings also happening that day, it's not that surprising that she was forgotten in the shuffle. But not completely forgotten. The ceremony was performed at the scheduled time, after all. With only about six witnesses, it was not that big of a deal to anyone but my parents.
@@reikun86 The play, "Father of the Bride," has the father telling the groom an interesting thing. I'm paraphrasing, because it's been years since I saw it, but basically, when the groom was freaking out about how the wedding had expanded WAY beyond original expectations, the father explained, "This isn't about you, or the bride. This is about her CLAIMING you. This is about her showing everyone in the entire community, 'You can't have this one. He's taken.' That's why there are so many guests. They want to be sure everyone who is anyone who might even try to get you know that they CAN'T HAVE YOU. The rest is just show to hammer home the point."
It worked. The groom calmed down, and accepted the bloated guest list.
Funnily enough, the bride was having the same issue. It turns out that they wanted a small wedding, for maybe 30 people, but BOTH mothers HAD to invite everyone they knew, and it turned into over 300, REALLY fast. That sort of change would be enough to send anyone into a panic.
When I was a toddler all my aunts and uncles were at the age to get married so i was often asked as a flower girl. My mom is a good seamstress and made me beautiful dresses. Only one of my aunts didn't want a flower girl so she made me a true nineties style flower print dress. Perfect for a 3year old. The bride wore dark green and on pure coincidence my dress matched hers perfectly. And as a hyper 3 year old I always stood at the front. People asked if I was the flower girl 🤣. 25 years later we had a big family fight and she turned out to be a terrible person to my dear grandma. So I feel no shame and am proud of my 3 year old self 🤣🤣🤣
The queen was really being a QUEEN at her son's second wedding.
It’s funnier when you think about the fact Prince Charles’s second wife wore white to Prince Charles’s and Princess Diana’s wedding 😅
@@relent-lass7510 along with alot of the other women there if you look at the photo.
My favorite story of Elizabeth II is when she, as a very elderly old lady, personally drove around a sexist Arabian king who had a female driving ban in his country the ENTIRE TIME he was in London. The woman actively drove an ambulance during the Blitz in WWII (she very confidently drove like an absolute maniac). Elizabeth II is the absolute Queen of the perfect petty revenges.
My cousin was 9 years old when we got married and she was our flowergirl. She wore a beautiful white dress, which she had also worn at her communion. My aunt asked my permission, but she didnt even have to in my opinion. What are people going to think? She is not a 9 year old bride. She looked angelic and seemed so happy in her special role. The memory still warms my heart so much.
Same with me! I was the ring bearer at my aunties wedding when I was 9 myself and ended up wearing the dress at my first holy communion dinner too. My aunt did not feel upstaged in any way, shape, or form, and no one complained about my outfit ☺️
I think the fact that she had a role in the wedding that made a difference. I've seen plenty of examples of the flower girl wearing white. In fact, the flower girl is one of the EXCEPTIONS to nobody wearing white except for the bride. I do think it's different if you're there as a guest, but don't have a role in the wedding- even if its a kid. Not that it's offensive, it's just not in good taste
My sister in law told me my 2 year old could not wear white to the wedding cause only she wanted to wear white. She was a flower girl
@@LissaxKristine idk cuz a lot of little girls want to dress up as a princess and it's hard to find a dress like that for littles that's not white at least where I live. It's a little girl if you have to crap in them to feel special at ur wedding I find THAT to be the bad taste. Although as a parent I feel I would ask the bride if it's ok. Anyway either way none of it is the kids fault and I have a feeling anyone who would freak about this wouldn't be kind and gracious to a child who wouldn't be doing anything out of spite. That's my real problem.
Yeah, when I got married, there were two girls who were going to become my nieces who were a year apart in age, so I had them both as flowergirls. The dress was white with a double skirt (upper skirt was pulled up a few times with a bow at the peak). The sash and the bows were in the wedding color. Later, their mother switched out the sashes and bows for bright red to be worn at Christmas. If the whole dress had been in the pale green, that probably wouldn't have worked.
The Queen being the Petty Queen at her son's wedding lol good for her!
My mother taught me to be early for everything. Appointments, get togethers with friends, parties etc. A politely worded apology when things don’t go as planned is usually sufficient with most people. My sister is “entitled” and my mom encouraged that behaviour. She’s 4 1/2 years older than me. I’m in my 60’s, she’s going to be 73 on Halloween (that’s very amusing if you knew her … 🧙🏻♀️ … ) and she’s still suffering from sibling rivalry. Entitled people are the worst!
For a minute, I thought you were talking about my sister! 😅 And her birthday is very close to Halloween, and unfortunately, my mom let her get away with a lot of stuff, she be 52 and still haven’t grown up…
The fact that you had to slide in the remark, "that's very amusing if you knew her" after you speak of her 'entitlement' tells me that you're suffering from a nasty case of sibling rivalry, yourself. If you don't like your sister, don't hang out with her -- easy! Family is your *choice*, not your blood.
Dang lol
@@belaayya5094 She lives 400K away from me, so it’s not an issue. No rivalry, closer to hatred. When you’ve been emotionally abused and she tried to drown me when I was 6, I’m justified in my strong dislike.
Our mother's are the opposite. She's always made me later or absent so I've developed this thing where I HAVE to go early. No matter the place. If you say were going somewhere, we're going NOW.
im engaged, getting married in February, and i’ve been binging these. they make me feel so much better about how i’ve been planning my wedding and SO grateful for my bridesmaids, my mom and my future in laws 😭
Getting married in March and SAME! We are DIYing a lot of things to keep the cost down. It's stressful and a lot of work but idk how brides can take that stress out of other people.
Congratulations to both of y’all!!! Keeping the important things (fiancé/fiancée, family, and officiant) the important things and treating everything else as icing on your favorite cake will probably help the stress levels. Wishing you both happy weddings and (even more important) deep, meaningful, lifelong marriages.
@@samalvarez8776 Someone in your replies, (that doesnt share your guest list)😉, is getting married within a month, doesn't that offend you?! Ugh, the nerve of some people!
congrats just remember to enjoy every minute of your special day it goes by so fast. I've been married for 7 years and I wish I would have stressed less and enjoyed it more.
Congratulations on your engagement!
Also I totally agree with your username WinWin is my bias and deserves more lines 💚
My cousin actually had a disappointing bachelorette weekend. Our "weekend" consisted of one day. We arrived at the cottage in the afternoon, enjoyed a nice lunch and spent a few hours shopping around. But we didn't stop for anything that my cousin wanted (she wanted to buy a pair of shoes and get some bubble tea. We went to no shoe stores and got ice cream). I planned a murder mystery party game and we had fun getting dressed up and doing that for a couple hours. We then went out for dinner, but afterwards everyone was saying they were tired so we didn't go to any bars or anything that my cousin might have liked. Then the next morning we got up and went to have a nice breakfast and stop at a cool looking antique shop. My cousin had fun looking at the glassware and furniture for about an hour, but everyone besides me went off on their own while she was looking at things. We left before the afternoon. There's so many of things we could have done. We could have stayed an extra day and played another party game, or we could have watched a movie or something together. Heck, I could've stretched the murder mystery party out for the whole evening and we could have gone shopping the next day, but I was told by the sister-in-law to keep it to under 3 hours so we could go shopping for most of the day. Basically, that's a long way of saying my cousin deserved way better and should have had a day that focused on her more. At least she enjoyed being the detective of the murder mystery I wrote for the group.
You’re just feeling sorry for yourself
I am so sorry your cousin did not have better, more supportive gal pals like you for her bachelorette party!
13:02 she doubled down on being the a hole 😂😂 “sorry for wanting my weekend to be about me” 😂😂
Honestly, when I was walking down the aisle at my wedding, I could barely tell which guests were present because I was too focused on trying not to trip on my heels (and looking at my then-fiancé waiting at the altar ^_^). The only time I knew for sure two people were there was because their two-year old was babbling during the ceremony.
The thing is what when the wedding ends and you’ve had some time to cool down and reflect, the details that seemed like such a big deal to you in the months leading up to it often were insignificant when compared to who you got to share the experience with. And that one bride may come to regret giving her friend an ultimatum because of an oversight.
Exactly! The guests aren’t on your mind in the moment. My dad somehow kept stepping on my dress while we walked down the aisle lol so I was distracted and only remember seeing like one specific guest
My mum found out because they were in the background of her walking down the aisle. It be is funny story for the next 40 years.
I totally agree. I see so many potential reasons for the date mix up, in addition to the fact that we are just human beings, we all forget stuff! Plus she's just a guest, which means that she might have been able to sneak in quietly, but depending on the size of the ceremony, it may or may not be noticed, so I think informing her was polite and I would do it too. It's not like she cancelled so I don't get her reference to the catering etc. She's asked to come late, I don't know if it was part of the deleted texts, but the question wasn't how late. Was she going to miss the entire ceremony and only show up to the reception, or was she going to make it in a few minutes after everyone walked down the isle? I'm sorry, but she's not in the wedding party or staff, I cant see it as that big a deal IMO and like you said, she may regret the ultimatum especially given that the other option was probably something she wouldn’t have even noticed much less remembered
the only thing i can think of for why she would notice a guest missing is if it was a really small wedding
Disneybounding is a fun way to represent your favorite character by wearing matching/coordinating colors and accessories related to the character. Ursula would be a purple top with a black skirt and maybe a seashell necklace. Bc in the parks adults can’t dress up like characters so they “Disneybound”
Came here to point that out. The bride isn't asking people to dress up like characters, but to use them as inspiration for colors and accessories. I love that idea and wish I could get married just to do that. :D
YES I just commented something just like this!!
Yeah there are plenty of non princess/prince characters to choose from and I think it's a fair request personally if that's their theme and the bride and groom want to do the Prince and princess thing
What's fun is that on Halloween party nights adults are allowed to wear costumes. :) I saw some pretty nice ones during Halloween parties.
@@savvystarfire6667 I thought the same thing
CHARLOTTE really loves weddings...and i'm here for it. 😆❤️
I think more than the actual wedding, she loves the drama that comes along
At our wedding, one of the guests said that she did not know if she could be there on time, but that was ok we just hope to see her. At dinner, there was a starter placed in front of her chair in case she turned up, but it wasn't a waste cause those at her table shared it between them. She did not arrive until 1 hour after we finished eating. We made sure something was made for her in the kitchen so she would not go hungry. We were just happy she made it.
When I got married , I had fun . Aside from the plain black gowns ( $85 and fit for all body types ) everything else , was up to the bridesmaids . Each bridesmaid was stunning !!! I wasn't stressed and expected nothing but a good time . The band sucked 😂 but that added to the memories . 2 decades later and people still say , " it was best wedding they ever attended " . Chill out , people !!! It's just one day ( hopefully) of your new life as a family . Don't pay thousands of dollars and have a bad time . 😘
Lizzie was the absolute mad lass, and I loved her for that, and am very bummed she passed. What a legend eheh
As an Indian .. we have weddings with no concepts of rsvp and everyone remotely around the invitee may turn up at the event ... I have seen random wedding crashers million times and yes free food is the only motivation 😃
When you plan the wedding, do you assume there will be crashers and make enough food for them?
@@loosilu yes totally
Abt 20 people appx
@@loosilu indian wedding have buffet concept with no seat chart and stuff
Yes exactly, we can do our own thing sneak out, roam around and no one would say anything 😂 I also go there only for free pani puri stalls lol
trueeee, and Indian weddings are mostly not just to celebrate the couple but also a reunion of friends, family, relatives and every other acquaintance of not just the couple but also their parents'😂........this is why Indians have big fat weddings to be honest!🤣🤣
Thing is about craft fairs, you have to pay a sometimes hefty deposit to reserve your spot, and it's non-refundable. Plus, depending on how big the event is, she could have spent the last six months preparing. What if that's her only source of income, or she was relying on that income? I get it, but...I also get it.
Work comes first. If I’ve had to miss events in my child’s life because I’ve had to work my friends better not think their event is more important.
@@MsJubjubbird Oh god, give me a break. "Once-in-a-lifetime-experience". Y'all watch too many Disney movies. Get over it.
My friend had a light grey wedding dress and told me to put a white one on my 2 year old. She said it’s a sign of pureity, and that my daughter was probably more pure than her 😂
I was a bit triggered by the Bachelorette party. I was the MOH at my best friend's (at the time) wedding. Me and her SIL were showed to plan the party together, her doing the activity, me the after party/hotel. Her SIL stopped responding to me altogether 2 weeks prior so I had to run to do the whole thing. We were 19 so we couldn't go to a bar or club. I wanted to do a nice dinner but the bride scheduled a family dinner that night, which went until 9! I wanted to do a private pole dancing party, but it was $50 pp and I was a broke college student so I asked the attendees if they would pay for themselves for that and I would buy everything else, but not a single person would. So I thought maybe we could do what the bride and I did all the time and do a late night camping trip, just get out there at like 10pm and stay up all night getting drunk and smoking the refer, pass out, make breakfast around the campfire when we woke up, maybe take the quads out and/or go shooting. The bride tells me she scheduled a 12pm lunch with her family the morning after the party. So I decide to rent a TWO STORY resort hotel room at the Hilton nearby that is situated on a mountain with the resort cascading down the side. We had our own personal jacuzzi and there is a water park there that anyone who wanted to go to in the morning I would get passes for. I went to Fascinations and bought dirty drinking games, masks, boas, penis shaped everything, and a dirty honeymoon kit for the bride. I bought a bunch of food, and paid a friend-of-the-bride who was 21 to bring the alcohol. I invite the 10 or so ppl she wants to come, we don't have many girl friends because of our hobbies and because of the ppl we just happened to be raised with, so I wanted a coed party but she and her husband decided to have completely separate parties (then allowed 2 girls, both had previously dated the groom, to crash his bachelor party). I borrow 2 really nice red and purple convertibles and the FIVE guests that actually showed up and I go pick the bride up from her dinner and bring her to the hotel. 2 of the guests only stay for an hr. Another guest (the SIL who did nothing) decided not to stay the night. We have 2 stories of space and only 4 total ppl stay the night. The bride seems irritated which i kind of understood.
However, I wasn't prepared for what the bride told me a few weeks after the wedding. She told me the party sucked and she blamed ME! I was flabbergasted. I tried so hard and spent like $350 as a 19 yo college student who had to work and pay bills. Instead of getting mad at herself for planning all that stuff around it, at the guests for not showing up or staying or agreeing to spend money for ANYTHING, at the SIL for not planning an activity, at her fiance for getting to having all their guy friends at his party and letting 2 girls crash it, at ppl for leaving early... she blamed me 🙄 our friendship feel apart after that. It really opened my eyes to some other stuff that were not great about our relationship.
Wow what a bitch 😢 what you did sounds great!
I would K!LL to have a friend like you!
My niece and daughter both wore white to my wedding because the dresses fit, looked adorable and were given to me. The girls were both 2 years old. That bride is nuts.
It wasn’t all that long ago (through the 1940s) that the larger weddings on one side of my family hosted many ladies in white; almost all the unmarried young ladies from infancy to early adulthood wore white. I actually think that’s quite sweet but these days I would NEVER wear white to a wedding.
Wearing White has become bastardized. It used to indicate purity and innocence. Any child or unmarried lady wore white to celebrate their sisters coming of age.
Now it’s served as a name tag for the bride
@@monstermcboo7282 that was to show that they were all good little virgins, I'm not sure I find that cute
Lmao if you have kids at my wedding you're instantly out LOL
I feel like the "white dress" rule should not prohibit children from wearing white... The white dress thing comes from the belief that white is the colour of purity and innocence therefore a bride (who would be a virgin back in the day) would be married in white... The same as black represents grief and is used for funerals... That being said, children are by default innocent and pure and should be able to wear white as well...or in gen z language: I mean you and the kids all in white, the matching aesthetic is sooo cool and it would look so great on the insta pics xD
I love how clearly burnt the bride was over the Surgery Florist's firm boundaries in not trying to beg her to stay after she delivered her ultimatum.
This is 100% why when my partner asked what kind of wedding I wanted, I said "courthouse."
7am for a bachelorette weekend 💀
With the craft fair one: late to the ceremony and late to the reception are two TOTALLY different things. If you’re worried about already having paid for her plate, that would be just the reception. You don’t pay for people to attend your ceremony, you usually just pay a fee to rent the space. And just because the CEREMONY starts at 4:30, doesn’t mean she wouldn’t be able to get there by the time the reception starts. Traditionally, you have the ceremony (which could be 30+ mins), a cocktail hour (at least 60 mins), AND THEN the reception. PLUS you don’t even get served food immediately upon entering the reception. That bride was completely out of line.
I remember one of these Bridezilla videos where the bride was losing her 💩 because some other family member (sister or cousin) was going to get married in the same year as her. Months apart. But she was screaming about how they were doing it on purpose and stealing the attention from her.
Ohhh so many bridezilla stories with that one. 👌😄
As someone who makes a living by making and selling stuff I can understand OP’s dilemma because it’s not just her attending a craft fair, it’s her job as a vendor and that sometimes means staying for a minimum number of hours in order to stay in good standing with that event especially if she made a lot of money for setting up her stand there. If she leaves early they may not invite her back which could have negative affects on her future income, which is definitely more of a priority than someone else’s wedding, which is one day. It rude to expect someone to mess up their job and income just to attend their wedding. Beside the catered part of the event wouldn’t have been wasted if she was just a little late for the ceremony.
I had to listen to the last story a few times because I got exhausted just hearing it, and I really don’t like being rushed so I would have tapped out too. And the way she responded I wouldn’t be bothered if I was uninvited either
To me this one was like telling your friend whose boss told them if they didn’t show up to work that day they’d be fired that if they didn’t show up to the wedding you stop being their friend. Sometimes work comes before everything else because it has to. As a single mom I’ve had to miss events in my child’s life because I had to work. If my child sometimes has to miss out so do my friends. Making money comes before a frivolous event like a wedding.
To be fair though, being late to that wedding could be extremely be inconvenient. And it wouldn't be nearly as inconvenient as missing a potential client, sales, money for rent, groceries, gas, medication etc, having somewhere to live even. What could be more inconvenient than attending a wedding late.........I dare someone to find one thing that would matter more😂😂
For the last one, like WTH, like thats a lot. I think they all agreed because they wanted to make it a good weekend for her, but people have a life, and sometimes we get tired. The fact that she was upset because she didnt have her "wow" moment on the Thursday to start, I can just imagine her attitude to the rest of the events. And I'm sorry, I would not be hauling around with and changing into multiple outfits for 5 different events in a single day, thats exhausting and her general behaviour sounds exhausting enough already. I cant even get started on her update/response. Narcissism is alive and well!
@@sexigirlfay With people like this, it feels like people are more interested on their vision of how things should look, instead of trying to actually have a good time. I can't see how changing multiple times a day can be a bounding and fun activity. It's all for show and her vision. No matter what her friends did, she would have had an issue with it.
@@sabrinaspellman9598: I'm wondering why the same outfit couldn't be worn for some of the same events that are close together. Sure, if they're going to the beach they'd need to change into swimwear, but they could change back into their previous clothes afterward, couldn't they?
Ngl I'd totally go to the Disney wedding. There's a billion fashion inspiration boards based on Disney characters the guests could use for their outfits and having the kids wear costumes sounds adorable! I'm assuming the prince/princess looks might be reserved for the wedding party? Like the bride, groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen's outfits would be based on the royal Disney couples?
that sounds so cute!
This might work for a friend group, but I imagine a lot of attendees would have no idea about online disney inspired fashion trends, or have any interest in them…
@@jelletinny Yeah, that's a lot of work you're asking people to do. Especially since only the kids can wear the premade costumes.
but not being any princess is hard...like if you want your guest be dressed like animals then you have a great time, but other than that it is hard to find some female characters that are not the princess.....like ok, the evil stepmom and her daughters or Ursula, ok the evil queen...but other than them I don´t have any female characters in mind that are not already taken by some other guest...like having to choose between 5 female character possibilities....I would probably mask as a male animal and become Scuttle from Arielle
@@insideAdirtyMind alice, wendy, lilo, sally, tinker bell, megara, jane, esmeralda, and charlotte la bouff at the top of my head. and that not including pixar characters. or those from tv series.
My wedding was a very small community building wedding. My husband and I were bombarded with the photographers taking pictures for so long that the guests (more than half that I did not know or get introduced to) sat at our table and FINISHED ALL THE FOOD. We got left overs from my sister after she realized we didn’t eat
The bridezillas whining about someone getting married around the same time is so funny!
My mom, godmother and cousin got married on back to back weekends and we’re each other’s bridesmaids! Pretty much same guest list for all of them and everyone had a great time!
Do not give a crafter an ultimatum of choosing the craft show over an event that pays nothing because they will always choose the show. Why? Because craft shows are expensive and you pay to reserve your spot 1 year in advance. Then they spent a lot of time and money making enough for the show to justify all the money they spent which is a lot. My mom is a crafter and we're actually getting ready for our one and only show at the beginning of November.
Being perpetually late and informing someone before hand that you will be late are not even remotely the same.
7:35 In the game Disney dreamlight valley, when you reach level 10 of friendship with Ursula, she give you a dress. Is gorgeous. The top Is black with like tentacles and the skirt is purple.
Okay, I'm not going to lie, I love the Disneybounding wedding. I live in Florida so Disney fandom is a huge thing here, for obvious reasons. There are SOOOO many amazing characters that get overlooked because people put so much focus on the princess series, so I'm not super put off by that one. I kind of get it.
Disney own so many franchises at this point now anyway. I mean technically you could go as one of the Simpsons now.
@@zoemacpherson2701 YES! Exactly! I would be super into a wedding like that.
But really stupid to expect people not to use a costume at the same time...
@@zakosist Really stupid to expect to wear a princess gown to someone else's big day. Just don't go and wear whatever you want. Problem solved. Everyone's happy.
My wedding didn’t go to plan at all! But I did my best to go with the flow because it’s supposed to be a happy day for everyone not just the bride but also that’s how life works, nothing hardly ever goes to plan. It’s all how you make it.
why was the bride in the craft fair story even mad if she was more concerned about the cost of catering than the actual friend LOL?? the friend said she'd be Late, not Absent so she'd still be there to eat her reservation of the catering lmfaooooo
Being a vendor at a craft far can be expensive. When you add up the both rental, materials for items you sell ect. Sounds like she signed up for the fair before she knew the wedding date. She should have timed it for the reception and I don't think the bride would have known lol
Agree. Unless it was a TINY ceremony the bride would not have noticed the friend wasn't there. Just show up for the reception.
She didn't sign up for the fair first. It said in the video she already knew the wedding date so it's her mess up
When I got married (in the '90's), the groom's little 2 year old niece was the flower girl. All the wedding party dresses (including mine) were sewn from dress patterns for budget reasons. The wedding was on New Years Eve, so colors were winterish. I wore ivory satin and lace with a tulle skirt. The bridesmaids wore simple deep red velvet cocktail dresses (my sister wore hers to holiday parties for years after). The flower girl had a tulle skirt like mine and a bodice in red velvet to match the bridesmaids. It was adorable, she was adorable, and yes, she got a lot of attention. I wasn't jealous.
Charlotte is like a low_key modern day therapist. Calling out ppl, but delivering good advice at the same time! Who knew?!? I absolutely love it 😍
@@BringerOfDearth Yes for sure!😊
Hi Charlotte! Just wanted to let you know that I had my grandson over this past weekend (I've had him every other weekend since he was 18 months old - he's now 7). I usually spend every second playing with him or teaching him.... after all, he is my whole world. He's also this GREAT kid, well-mannered, kind-hearted, selfless & has a FANTASTIC sense of humor for his age.
Anyway, this past weekend, I couldn't spend every second playing with him because I wasn't feeling well AT ALL, and he was so sweet to just allow me to hang out on the couch while he played or watched TV or actually waited on me (as best he could of course). And since I wasn't feeling well I wanted something good spirited to watch. What else would I have on the TV other than your videos? Ummm.... NOTHING, LOL.
He was hanging out on the couch with me, playing games on his laptop & kind of watching the TV with me. After about 15 minutes, I noticed he put his laptop down & got his blanket to cover up & get comfy on the couch next to me (my house is always cold - keeps germs down & tempers low). I watched him out of the corner of my eye for the next 10 minutes or so & he was focused on your videos (I had them on a loop, mostly bridezillas so there wasn't any major adult content, not that your videos are ever inappropriate, I FEEL). After about 10 minutes I hear him laugh here & there, and then he's cracking up with each new story. I looked at him & he looked at me like.... we both were thinking the same thing (SHE'S HILARIOUS!!) He then said...."Mimi, I think this is what I want to watch every time I come over now. 😂😂😂😂
I said, "She's funny, right?". He had a big smile & said "I can't stop laughing... my cheeks hurt. "
Just wanted you to know you made my icky weekend a million times better! Thank you
I had a discussion with someone once who said she didn’t want any close friends or family getting married on ‘her wedding year’ 😂😂
“Am I wrong?” “Yes.”
This is giving me life.
OH AND A MURLOC? Happy Saturday indeed 💖
What's a murloc?
@@shawnycoffman a very annoying “enemy” in an online game called world of Warcraft. I haven’t played in years but that sound sure brings back memories lol
Yesss!!! Mrglwglwlg indeed!
@@CreativeCreatorCreates I've never played. Thanks for answering!
I would have just told the friend that was going to be late not to show up for the ceremony, just come for the reception. That way she could still celebrate with us but not worry about trying to rush. Everyone wins.
“Me and my 25 closest girlfriends”. You didn’t even slow down or think that was a lot. I guess I’m the weird one. I don’t even personally know 25 women if you don’t count family. Lol. I mean, I know I could name 25 women, but not even close to that many “closest friends.” I know I’m an introvert, but still, it seemed like a lot. I would be impressed with myself if I could get 5 close friends together.
Edit: at the end, some other people commented about the amount of closest friends a person has. But Charlotte, your complete lack of reaction tells me you’ve experienced some craziness. Oh dear. I’d love to hear some stories. (I know, not really possible to do without starting problems in your real life, which is the last thing id want.)
And if you want the weekend to be "all about you", surely you're aware that if you invite just a small group of people, you're more likely to be the focus? If there's 25 people they're inevitably going to talk to each other without you, complain to each other about you, and then go off and do their own thing rather than follow your non-stop action plan that starts at 7am.
As an introvert, with few friends and very happy about it, when she read 25, I first thought it was a typo. And then social anxiety kicked in. 25 people for several days in a row, my personal hell hole.
@@Cynophileandavianenthusiast I just don’t think anyone has 25 genuine close friends. I think she had 25 women she was friendly with in the past along with her 3-6 actual close friends. Your close friends are gonna be thinking about you and how to make this weekend amazing for you, your acquaintances are gonna just be along for the ride. Plus, it sounded like she wanted every moment and every event (which she clearly overscheduled) to be all about her and the focus to be on her at all times. It’s too much. Maybe a few hours or a single event to be the “star”, but a couple days of nonstop “me, me,me!” Sounds exhausting. Even if it really was close friends and was only 5-10 people, she was asking too much. She didn’t want them celebrating WITH her, she wanted them to celebrate HER, which is a different thing.
I would imagine she's read so many of these bridezilla stories, that not much about them fazes her anymore.
I paused the video to see if anyone else thought that was alot since Charlotte clearly didn’t. The introvert in me could never lol
@00:40
I freaking love your laughter there and the Murloc or how they're called, because I was thinking about just that! 😂😂😂👌🏻 Freaking genius move!!
Subscribed after the first video I saw of you, you're just amazing!! ❤️🙌🏻
and the fun part about queen wearing white to charles and camilla's wedding is that no one, NO ONE , not even the bride is allowed to wear same colours as the queen. so camilla didnt get to wear white on her own wedding day. pfft
I am just trying to process the “me and my 25 closest girlfriends” 😂 like what the heck? That is an entire class
Every discussion I have had with persons who've been married more than once: "I wish I'd had a simple ceremony the first time! Like, a backyard reception where everyone can be comfortable and really enjoy themselves, instead of some stuffy fancy venue." I did that for my daughter's wedding (we are caterers, so had the equipment) and it was such a great time!
Done that and it was great!
Lesson learned: If a bachelorette party trip needs an “itinerary”, do not go.
That first story: women are told not to wear white because they might be MISTAKEN FOR THE BRIDE. Who tf would mistake the TWO YEAR OLD as a BRIDE? 😮
The funny thing with the Disneybound dresscode is that there are a lot of characters that aren't dubbed as official princes and princesses
Florist: “I’m having surgery.”
Bridezilla: “If this affects my dream wedding timeline, I’m leaving a one star review.“
Crazy how Karens get their feelings hurt because a person they’re trying to do business with had the audacity to need surgery or have any other type of emergency
At least say I'm sorry to hear you have to have surgery and then ask if they'll still be able to do the job.
I had a parent text me, the day after I found out my Mum only had weeks to live, would interfere with the singing lessons I was giving her daughter as "you're supposed to be preparing her to sing a song with the band on the cruise in 4 months". I replied (sarcastically) that if my mum died with in 2 months I'd be able to start the lessons again, but I couldn't make any guarantees. She texted back to say it was "unprofessional" to not be sure so she'd find another teacher instead...
Such delightful people.
I'm not sure she was a Karen. Could she have phrased it differently, maybe. But that was a valid question. If it wasn't going to impact the wedding planning process chances are she would have not needed to share that info. Especially since she stated she had a team. That should have been seamless to the customer / bride.
@@dkimuk oh, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. And I’m sorry you had to deal with someone so inconsiderate during that difficult time. I doubt you routinely turn away business but I’m sure that you don’t miss your her business. Sending you hugs from San Antonio TX USA.
@@honestlyspeaking1332 it absolutely is a legit question and it’s understandable that a bride would be concerned about impacts to the timeline. It just comes across as cold, selfish, and entitled to not express humanity toward someone attempting to make the day special. I can see both sides of the argument.
I literally lost a friend because she couldn’t handle me hosting a PARTY within a month of her wedding 😂
So she decided to courtroom marry before my wedding date so she could handle her wounded ego. Thankfully mine’s stronger😂😂😂
She also went through at LEAST 3 MOH and the last MOH standing also was her photographer (gifted) when she didn’t get her photos within the first week of her wedding party she and her now husband threatened the MOH by saying they would take her to court and in the mean time would hold onto any items she left at their house day of the wedding party.
One particular line that still pisses me off is her texting MOH to say “I can afford going to court but I don’t think you can 😏”
I was so tempted to unblock her just to text her
“Omg i heard the news that you can afford court now!!!🎉🎉🎉 wanted to offer this advice as a wedding gift 💝…go to therapy instead!❤”
I chose not to and am instead putting this tale in the comments. Hopefully she’ll see it, but I really don’t think she will because all the bridezilla stories hit too close to home 😂
Damn, man
OK you said two completely different things. You started off by saying it was a party and then you said it was a wedding. Did you plan a wedding a month before your friends wedding? “So she decided to courtroom marry before *my wedding date* so she could handle her wounded ego.” It honestly sounds like you planned a wedding a month before your friends wedding. And if that’s the case you’re the asshole.
I find people like your former friend so odd. Two of my cousins are getting married (they will be the first two of ten cousins to do so). Independently of each other, they both chose the same month (thankfully two weeks apart). As far as I know, precisely zero drama has ensued. Knowing them, I think they're mostly just relieved they didn't book the same day.
I just had the thought that it'd be nice if we could quarantine all narcissists like this together, away from the rest of us. Did you ever find out what happened with the finalized MOH and the lawsuit threat?
@@PoochieCollins so far no news on that subject. So we shall assume some relatively peaceful conclusion. And I will update with any further news.
0:56 love that even the queen was petty
It always makes me laugh when you say “y’all know how I feel about people being late” and I don’t think I was around when that started but as I have been watching you for a few weeks now I just DO know how you feel about people being late 🤣
Dang I missed an opportunity to tell all the little girls attending my wedding to dress as the princessiest princess they can. I would adore having a little girl in a floofy white dress at my wedding 😍 So cute!!!
The guest with the craft fair. I think it is important to understand that for some people craft fairs IS their livelihood and they don't happen every day of the week. This guest tried to reconcile with the bride.
Here's how I'd do a disney-bound Ursula look: Black dress with various shades of purple accessories (or even a black/purple ombré dress), a necklace that matches hers, white wig (potentially optional depending on dresscode). Loads of glamour.
For a casual version: black dress with purple tentacle/octopus-print, pearl accessories and a necklace that matches hers. Makeup to match (wig optional).
Purple gloves and fabulous shades optional.
@Freja Lindberg well my definition of casual anyway lol.
Pretty sure I saw DraculaClothing have a dress with octopus on it at some point (though they may have been orange not purple).
Also would not be surprised if someone like Blackmilk Clothing either did or would do a print like that at some point.
That last one reminded me of my (now ex) best friend 😮 She isn’t married, but this is how she operates. She relies on other people to build her up by fawning over her, blames everyone else for any negative emotions she has, and is manipulative in a guilt-trip way (posing as the victim no matter what the circumstances are). It is literally a form of abuse. I threw up a little when she got to the part where she left the girls to clean up the mess, and justified it “bEcAuSe i wAs sAd”. 🙄
"You have to be Disney themed, but you can't be a prince or princess!"
Me, who not only has a fixation on Disney, but has a knack for liking crappy movies for some reason: "Hmm... does Quorra count as a princess?"
Addition:
Also, since I know Disney, but a primary part of my fixation is planning Disney vacations (WDW is a favorite personal challenge of mine if I need to destress, welcome to autism) I think the lady towards the end, with the giant bachelorette party, actually made a Disney mistake on accident, hilariously.
WDW is miles on foot, in the sun, you have to change clothes for different events, and you have to do 5000 different things in the 3 days you paid for before you fly back home. And people mistakenly think that the best way to cram the most shit into this time is to power through it like superman. But that leads to burnout, screaming children, and being fucking miserable. It's just like the concept that if you stay up all night, you have more hours of the day: no, you don't, you just made yourself tired, and half as productive.
As stupid as it sounds, if you need to take a break or even a nap at WDW, it's recommended because walking miles to power through is not worth becoming miserable and not enjoying your time. And that's the mistake Bridezilla made.
You can have a crazy-ass bachelorette. I mean, when I hear of the shit that goes on normally, I wonder what goes on in y'all's heads, since I have no idea why you'd want ding-dongs everywhere as decorations, but ok. But she was making everyone trudge with changes of clothes and do a ton of shit with no breaks. And based on how she said they agreed to it before, I think they thought there would be some kind of leniency between activities instead of go-go-go.
If they all just went back to their room and took a break to chill out, they probably would have had a great time, and still gotten everything done. Instead Bridezilla got upset over people getting worn out and left before she could enjoy anything.
I wore a white blouse to my sister's wedding, but she's the one who picked it out for me lmaoo
I think the jist is, don't wear a white bridal looking outfit. And i dont think a toddler counts...
I personally think it might be a british story. Flower girls often wear white in the UK so I'm wondering if the sister was mad her daughter wasn't a flower girl
A toddler does count , literally the audacity to dress your own child in WHITE Especially with no permission
@@LadyCheshire95 Pippa Middleton as maid of honor wore white dress on Catherine's wedding.
The restriction for no prince or princess characters is a bit much considering how prominent those are in disney movies, the idea of a disney bound dress code for a wedding is pretty awesome. There's some pretty cool looks you can get from that.
if you wanna dress up like ursula without wearing an actual costume there's actually an officially licensed ursula-inspired dress out there. I don't think its being sold in stores anymore but you may still be able to find one. it's a flowy black ankle length cold-shoulder dress with a purple tentacle pattern around the bottom. One of my favorite dresses. I wear it all the time.
Hi Charlotte! I wish you so much luck with your new show! ❤️
Bonus fact for the queen wearing white - notice how Camillas Dress is 'not' white? That's because nobody is allowed to wear the same color as the queen.
She did not only wore white herself. She also made sure Camilla, is NOT wearing it to her own wedding.
I’m convinced charlotte and I are secretly long lost Romanian sisters. When the Disney dress code came up my first reaction was “okay so how do I do an Ursula outfit?” 😂😂😂😂
Dark purple, black, or purple-and- black dress, ideally with a flowy look; teal eye shadow; seashell jewelry.
"Disneybounding" is dressing in Disney-inspired outfits without wearing the actual costume, because the parks have rules against adults and teenagers cosplaying their characters lest small children mistake them for staff.
Hey girlie!!! Another amazing Charlotte video to start the day! Thanks for everything you do for all of us girl!! And best of luck with the new show too!!
I was in a white dress when I was 10 at my cousin's wedding but then again I was the oldest of the 3 flower girls. I still have it, it had pink rose petals in the skirt and a pink sash with a pink rose pinned to it but it was mainly white. Plus she picked it out for me.
At 12:00, I feel like she was the a-hole for expecting so much in so little time. Her friends were kinda a-holes when they didn’t wear the shirts and went out without her though. Like, I thought it was common to match at least 1 day during a bachelorette. Also, ya she was being rude and petty and a bridezilla, but you don’t just go party without your friend when she’s upset, whether she’s right or no. Also, one of the bridesmaids should have discussed the schedule with her ages before the party and asked if they could add another day and spread the activities out
I will refer to my ex-best friend as "Abby".
Three weeks before Abby's wedding, she kicked me out of her bridal party because I wasn't able to make it to all three of her showers and two bachelorette parties (I attended one of each) because I worked two jobs and she was making the whole process pretty complicated.
Shopping for our bridesmaid dresses was ridiculous! Abby claimed that she wanted us to be happy with how they fit and she said that she didn't expect us to spend more than $90 - $120. After asking all five of us which we liked best, we all agreed on two.
Well, Abby must have decided that she didn't want us to look good and chose these gaudy, lime green sleeveless pieces that puffed out at the knees and had a deep v in the front and back, causing the top of the dress to continuously feel like it's falling off the shoulders. The dress cost $250 before I even had it altered.
Anyways...
Abby didn't had a job. Her fiance supported her for years so I can't imagine she understood what it was like to actually be working for a living. She had also made it clear to me that she understood that I would do my best to attend what I could. I was her best friend and she really wanted me there .
However, the morning following one fateful night at her favourite club (bachelorette party - I knew the owner so I got the entire party in for free and a bunch of drinks comped), I received a phone call from Abby telling me it's my fault that she got hit by a stall door when she went to the bathroom to pee because I wasn't there in that moment. She then proceeded to unload on me that she was pissed I couldn't't make it to all of her pre-wedding events and that I would no longer be a bridesmaid because that would end our friendship. 🙄
Buuut... She still expected me to do her nails. Of course, I did not oblige because I was hurt and annoyed and FUCK THAT AUDACITY.
I felt like it was a blessing in disguise, though, because she replaced me with another girl who was roughly my size who bought the dress off me so I dodged a few bullets!
I think the best part is that Abby still expected me to show up for the entirety of her wedding day.
Before AND after the ceremony, she was texting me saying she couldn't wait to see me and hoped I was going to be there. Well, I had decided to work at least a half day at the salon because... Why the fuck not, I guess?! Haha
The festivities were to begin at 2pm and my last client was booked at noon for a cut and colour.
*I should add that the wedding was in our hometown 3 hours from where I lived so I knew I would not make it to the ceremony. 😏
After finishing up at work, I took my time packing stuff to go back to my parents' farm. I arrived there just before 5pm while the supper reception was well underway (I had no intention of attending). BUT, after giving it some thought, my mom and I decided we'd make an appearance at the dance!
I had long, platinum hair with baby pink peekaboos that I put into loose curls and I donned a strapless, fitted, knee-length black satin dress with a slit in the back and a pair of strappy, black heels!
We arrived shortly after 9pm when the dance portion had started. Ironically, Abby was the first person I saw when I walked into the building. She came up to me, excitedly, giving me a hug and saying she was happy I could come. I said "you're welcome" and proceeded to drop off a gift and card (I'm petty but I still respect tradition and her husband is a really good dude).
In closing, many people knew what had happened and of course they were talking (small town gossip) and what they were saying was that Abby was a bridezilla and I was super brave for making an appearance!
And, needless to say, we have never rekindled our friendship. She has made a few attempts but I refuse to make space for that kind of bullshit in my life!
The moral here? Don't. Be. Bitch. 🖖🏻
I've been to four weddings, and I was the flower girl at all of them 😂 (I wore a white dress and white shoes and nobody was upset?)
Anyway, I just wanna say how much I love my family and their weddings. We live in the countryside and they had gorgeous, low budget weddings with family and close friends who were basically family. Even as a child I knew they were great weddings and they treated everyone well (more often than not EVERYONE in the family helped with the wedding plans) It was so sweet, and I've never experience a bridezilla 😂
