To the lady who missed her sister's wedding and bachelorette functions so she could spend time instead with their dying father, don't worry, I'm sure this won't be her last wedding. I have no doubt you'll have several more chances to be her bridesmaid, mainly bc she won't have any friends left by that point.
That birthday story resonated with me. I was invited to wedding that was taking place on my birthday the year my husband passed away. It was the first wedding I was to attend after he died (we'd only been married a few months/he'd only been gone three months at the time of their wedding). It was a lot but it meant a lot to them that I came. I told them I would come to the reception, and I went. To my surprise they had a whole birthday cake for me, they had their DJ play Stevie Wonder's version of Happy Birthday and all our friends that were there (it was a big group of us that have all been pals forever) gave me hugs and it was amazing. (I had NO idea they were going to do it and knowing they changed important plans to show ME love on their special day really meant the world)
First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss 💔That’s so kind though, I remember how much even the smallest act of kindness meant to me after my SO passed away, and I can only imagine how much it must have meant to you that your friends did that. What a beautiful thing to do 🥰
Oh my goodness, this made me cry. You pretty much deserved it and it's awesome she shared her day with you like that. I would do it too, no question! What a beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing something so intimate like this, seriously, your comment was the first ever to make me cry. In a good way.
I'm really happy for you. I am so glad that you had such a wonderful surprise from such thoughtful and supportive loved ones. 💗💗💗 I'm so glad that even though you lost someone, there were so many more people who flocked to your side
Ye. Type who judges us, the non married, free debt and indepemdent women because we are "bare", while their snotty spawns runs around in dirty clothing and being unruly brats.
EDP445s Grandma everyone’s ancestors were slaves also there are millions of people right now that are slaves while you get to sit and play on UA-cam. Stop gate keeping something that you literally never had to go through
We should all have a friend like that, and by the sound of it (just assuming best lady meaning she was a female best man, so was part of the groom’s side), the bride is totally cool with the friendship (or also close with her), so it sounds like a really healthy relationship to boot if I heard correctly.
Not the bride. But a couple from the husband's side. Friends of his, tried to get me thrown out of the party... My big sister, was the bride. She kicked them out instead & got me more vodka.
My own big sister is terrible she went to Rome to get married by the pope only her best friends were invited not even our dad was there had a big reception when she got back sat us at a table beside the toilets people thought her aunt (different fathers his sister) was her mom even said in speeches she didn’t correct them my mom was so upset she was depressed and upset about it for a very long time especially when my sister finally took photos with me and my mom you can see the door to the toilet behind us in the picture
The ones withs the brides throwing hissy fits because their friends needed to be with their dying family members make me sick! My younger brother, who I'm very close to, attempted suicide 4 DAYS before my wedding and was admitted into a mental hospital for the next few months. As devastated and upset as me and my husband were he couldn't make it, we told him we would have rather him had gotten the care he needed. When he got out we sat down with him and showed him the wedding video, we even had the DJ dedicate a song to him during the reception which he got to see
@@smileplease_91 thanks for your kind comment :) yes hes still here with us, I actually video chatted with him yesterday. Hes been put back in a few times in the hospital, it's his home life that's been really hard and making him do that. I'm looking to have him move in with me and my husband as soon as we possibly can to get away from that toxic family
TLDR: bride caused a scene because my hearing aids were being too “distracting” and was ruining her perfect day. The bridesmaids threatened to leave, and the groom backed me up. To the OP who was told to take off their glasses, my story is similar. So earlier this year I was asked to be a bridesmaid for one of my friends weddings. I of course said yes, as I had known her and her soon to be husband for years. She wanted all bridesmaids to wear this complicated updo that the hairdresser would do at the venue at the same time the bride was getting ready. All is fine and well, the hairstyle complimented hers so no one seen an issue...until after the hairdresser did mine, 2 hours before the wedding. The bride immediately began throwing a tantrum, stomping around and pushing her makeup artist out of the way to continue pitching a fit. None of us had any clue what she was talking about, screaming about how my hair is “unacceptable.” All eyes in the room looked at me, then to her, then to my hair. No one seen an issue. When the brides mother asked what was wrong, she began sobbing uncontrollably at me somehow ruining her perfect day. Turns out, she had an issue with my hearing aids. They “grabbed too much attention” and took away from the bride. That they were tacky and i should have never worn them, because they weren’t what we “discussed” as accessories and jewelry. Her mother kept trying to explain to her that I, in fact, could not NOT wear my hearing aids. The bride knew I wore them, had never said anything prior to this moment. I suggested that, since i was the first bridesmaid to have her hair done, we could change it to something more...accommodating, that could hide them if she wanted. She wouldn’t have any of that. No. The only solution in her mind was to take away my ability to hear. Bride kept insisting I was ruining everything by wanting to wear something she wasn’t comfortable with. Even some of the friends of the groom, who weren’t involved with the wedding, was telling her to calm down. She kept yelling and causing a scene, until finally I told her if she wanted all of her bridesmaids, then she will let me HEAR. The other bridesmaids agreed, making a move to leave. im not going deaf for the entire wedding. Even if I WAS feeling generous, I still would refuse because I want to see one of my best friends (the groom) get married to someone he adores. The bride finally calmed down and the makeup artists had to hurry to fix her makeup. She still rarely talks to me, but I don’t really care. Her husband, when bride told him about me being “selfish” immediately backed me up and started this huge fight. This is because the groom has a brother who is partially deaf (like me) and uses crutches due to his cerebral palsy. By her insinuating my disability is simply too inconvenient for her and her lifestyle, she is implying the same about her now-husbands brother.
@Jordan Oh my god that’s awful. That makes me want to cry, I’m so sorry that happened to you. What a nasty woman. I know you sent this awhile ago, I just hope you are well and hope you never have to go through something like that again.
The “Hi Jessica!” Moment made me start laughing my ass off! 🤣 I can only hope Grandma shuts her up by telling her what a brat she was and is continuing to be!
These stories are so insane and it breaks my heart seeing friendships end to pettiness and money issues. I wanna share my bridesmaid story just for laughs now. I was a maid of honor for my childhood BFF who didn’t make me pay for a thing except for gas to drive and to BYOB. She hand-knitted my Star-Spangled Banner skirt for me. (We were raised Texas trailer trash, I knew what this was going to be lol.) She had a bachelorette party the night before the wedding, got super drunk for the first time in her life, and tried to drive a truck because she got pre-wedding jitters, to which I stopped her by giving her a big forced hug and telling her how lovely of a bride she’s going to be. She calmed down and got a good night’s rest before the wedding. All is bridesmaids wore star-spangled tank tops and skirts. Some of us were barefoot for fun because the ceremony was held in the soft grassy field behind the local Baptist church. Her husband was a tall, goofy son of a b**** who I didn’t originally like, but later warmed up to him because I could see he really loved her. Nobody objected, we all cheered and yee-hawed when they kissed. The wedding cake was from Walmart where she worked at the time, it was cute and delicious. The man she chose wasn’t the kind of man who forced her to stay home with the kids, he fully supported her going to college while they raise 2 kids. She’s now a registered nurse, still in the country, and I moved to Dallas and became a fraudulent investigator. 🤓 I am in love with the city and my yee-haw days are basically over, but my southern accent comes out when we visit each other. 🤠 Which is funny because I’m also half Mexican and when I talk to my dad I have a slight Mexican accent. 😆 Very fun background. The point of this story is you don’t need $60k to have a nice wedding. You just need good friends, good family, and good cake.
My cake was from Walmart as well. I have a beautiful, hand blown, glass cake topper and I took it with me when we ordered the cake. We requested a half sheet cake with an 8” round on top to accommodate my topper. Those were my “demands”. I spoke with the bakery manager and said “this is for my wedding, so have some fun with it.” For around $30, I had the most perfect wedding cake ever. (Almost 21 years later, the cake topped is still on my Knick-knack shelf.)
Stories like these make me glad to be a nerd with nerd friends. I'm invited to a LARP wedding in September, and the entire wedding party will camp in an old castle ruin for the night and roleplay in period-appropriate garb over the course of the two days; the only present we're expected to bring is homecooked food so the wedding can have a large, medieval-style buffet. No drama at all, just nerdy people having fun. :D It's gonna be great.
That sounds like fun. My wedding (if I have one, I'm single right now) would be very peaceful. Small outdoor ceremony in a flower garden, nice dinner, and then a weekend by the coast somewhere sunny. I'd be wearing a knee length, pastel blue, simple dress, hair in a bun, and glowy, natural makeup.
Plus, at what pointing time did it become the bridal party's responsibility to pay for their own outfits and makeup, in addition to the various unnecessary parties and weekends away? The expectations around weddings nowadays has become ridiculous. On another post someone was told by his grandfather that organising a wedding would show how selfish people are. Seems this is true.
Weddings were never a "nice thing: marriage came about as a way to subjugate women and treat them as chattel. Sure, its eveolved into being about "love" but as long as people have been in existence there has been drama. Drama isn't something new, neither is the kind of pomp and circumstance that comes with weddings. Don't kid yourself and romanticize the past. People have always been messy and always will be.
Same! All the weddings I’ve been to have been lovely. I heard my cousin’s wedding was a little weird, but I wasn’t invited, so 🤷 dodged that awkwardness!
When I have my own wedding, the only mandatory thing I want is a picture of my deceased mother placed on one of the front seats. I give no fricks about a dress, makeup, not even a cake! I just want my mother to see me get married as I promised!
My mother is a wedding planner, so growing up, I had to deal with so much of this second-hand b.s from all of these families I didn't even know, so I already know the deal. I just ended up getting married in the courthouse 10 states away and not telling many people. She was infuriated when she finally found out, but whatever. When I was 7, I was entertaining the idea of my wedding in the future along with the other girls, and I said I wanted a red and black wedding. Red velvet, heaps of velvet red roses, black candles, black isle with red petals, bridesmaids in sleek red dresses with chokers/red heels, the guys in red-black-white tuxes, black and white invitations with red ribbons and shiny candy red font, crystal decorations, sheer black and red glitter wedding dress with sparkling black veil, black, red-cushion pews, ride off in a red Viper, etc. The whole 9. I even drew pictures. XD Red, or red and black color combo are my favorite color(s), so it made sense. Mom went into complete panic mode, saying that was "wrong", getting all the older ladies to chastise me for it, then she said that was NOT happening. She kept telling me that it was wrong to even want such a wedding, and that I really don't want it. Called my little pictures "bad" too. Yes, because I don't know what I like, and a wedding planner couldn't crack open one of her own many wedding books and magazines to see that not all weddings are white, cream and pastely. Every non-genre party I've hosted to this day has been red-themed, so screw that, and her trying to shame me for wanting red. She even had the gall to say that my favorite colors are purple and lavender, no questions asked. I'm not a fan of purple at all, hardly anything I own is purple. She painted my room lavender one time during my high school goth phase. Hated it. XD I was 7 years old when I could see the future of my mother controlling every inch of my wedding if I let her, and it made me just not want a wedding in the first place, totally put off by it, especially how she bossed all of the other family members around with their weddings, so it was the courthouse for me. I can't stand control freaks. She was right, the black and red wedding didn't happen, but she also didn't get a wedding, an invite, or notification of my marriage, soooo oof. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When will people learn that you can make an experience such as a wedding memorable without spending up to $25 k? All the stories I've read it's the memories and such that you remember, the good, the bad, the funny, the ugly.
Based on the divorce rate, I think it's because a lot of couples aren't interested in marriage as much as the wedding. If you love someone, it doesn't matter if you get married in a castle or a church basement with a potluck supper. If you're getting married to someone you truly love, the important thing is you get to marry them. I'm not married yet, but the church basement thing is probably going to be my wedding. Although I am Mennonite, so having a simple wedding is pretty traditional (at one point in time, having a church wedding would have been seen as worldly in some Mennonite circles-they used to have small ceremonies in people's houses instead).
Because they only care about status and wealth, which is NOT true love. They're nasty, rude, and rotten people who use others for expenses. Seriously, I feel bad for the groom when normally in these situations he ends up with the debts. Even worse when it ends in divorce
As a woman I find it really weird so many woman would rather represent one night verses a marriage. The more expensive the wedding the sooner the marriage fails. They fail more often over people who marry in a pregnancy panic.
Used to work in a hotel that hosted weddings in the mountains, and got yelled at by the bridezilla that we ruined her wedding because "our river didn't have enough water!" It was late summer, and a drought....I just had to explain I couldn't make her a bigger river for her wedding photos.
I have to add to this, that if you are a mother, sister, or friend of the bride DONT TURN HER INTO A BRIDEZILLA. Some women get so into it they seem to forget it’s not their wedding, and that they’re just along for the ride. I’ve personally seen people annoy and stress the fuck out of the bride for small or irrelevant things. PSA don’t add unnecessary stress to the bride/groom!
People like these are the ones whose marriages won't survive the first anniversary. My sister's wedding wasn't terribly expensive (I calculate my parents and his parents didn't spend more than $5.000 overall, not counting the plane tickets from London), it was planned and celebrated in the span of 2-3 weeks and there were less people than in a moderately crowded Subway train... and it was one of her, his and ours' happiest days. Edit: I just noticed this could be seen as a "shotgun wedding", so -for clarity's sake- I will say it wasn't. It had to be done that way because his side didn't have much time to spend and my sister was neck-deep in her new job to think of her own wedding. Besides, both families live on opposite sides of the Pond, so logistically we did the best we could.
A "shotgun wedding" means the bride is pregnant. And refers to the olden days where the bride's father held a shotgun to the groom's back at the wedding ceremony, so he didn't runaway and so the child wouldn't be born out-of-wedlock as a bastard........so about your sister........
My sister's childhood friend had gotten married and told her THE DAY BEFORE and then proceeded to get mad that my sister couldn't be there to do her makeup and hair because she had plans. They ended up getting divorced 2 months later smh
I’m still in Highschool, haven’t even thought of dating yet, but I swear, when I get married, I will do everything in my power to be the nicest, most understanding bride ever. These women are sickening.
Honestly, this just makes me grateful for all the genuinely happy and pleasant weddings I've been to. I've never seen a bride (or groom) display the kinds of vindictive, petty, or downright vile behaviour that is chronicled in these stories. Literally the most unpleasant behaviour I have ever personally witnessed at a wedding was a friend of the bride who made a ridiculously long and unnecessary speech. That's it, that was the extent of it. If that was the worst thing I'd ever have to experience at a wedding, I'd be perfectly content with that.
I've been to 1 wedding in my life, and it was exactly how I want my wedding. Beautiful and peaceful outdoor ceremony in a flower garden, then a fun party in the evening. Despite being only 5 at the time, I loved it.
William Ford Were there children there? I ask because if children were at an overly long wedding, the wedding party was lucky tantrums from bored, sleep-deprived, and hungry youngsters didn't break out.
When I get married, it’s just gonna be a small party b/c honestly, I don’t like crowds and I don’t want people to see me kiss my s/o. Me and my s/o will put on rings, drink some alcohol-free champagne, eat food, and hang out with my friends (if I have any in the future)
Mine will be a small spring ceremony in a flower garden with close family and friends in the afternoon, then a party with a bit more people, then a long weekend by the coast somewhere sunny. I have always liked the idea of light makeup, hair in a bun, and a pastel blue, knee length, pretty dress.
A former friend of mine who wanted me to be a bridesmaid yet wanted us to pay for our own bridesmaid outfits, pay our own airfare to her destination wedding in Hawaii, as well as pay our own food and hotel costs. I couldn’t afford that. Two thirds of the bridal party couldn’t afford it. She also expected us to provide gifts, despite being registered at all of the most expensive stores. The Maid of Honor quit and told her to “F*** off!” and said they were done being friends. We all refused to go.
If I ever get married, I will make sure not to be like this. I know what I want, but if something minor doesn't exactly go to plan, it's all part of the fun. As long as the basic elements I want are there, I don't care. The only things that will not be changed are: -A pastel blue theme, including a knee length, beautiful blue dress. -It being in the springtime, outdoors. I love nature so somewhere with a lot of flowers. -A small ceremony, then big, chill party in the evening. -A honeymoon somewhere hot by the sea. I love the beach and the ocean.
“Hair color is too similar to hers!” Bullshit. I was in my cousins wedding this year and we look a lot alike even though her mom is my Dad’s sister, I’m also practically a carbon copy of my Mom. Most of the bridal party were brunettes with the exception of my cousins one friend (black hair with red streaks, which was allowed) and my other cousin (they are sisters) who is blond. It was all fine. And for the bridal shower we just went to this local place to do ceramics, we paid for our own stuff (all 15 dollars or under) then went to her parents house, right down the driveway from mine, to eat pizza and watch the “Bridesmaids” movie. I had a great time and might also be in my other cousins wedding next year, but since it is so far away I don’t think she has most of the bridesmaids picked, but I know for sure that my cousin’s sister is her maid of honor just like in reverse at my cousin’s wedding. Sorry if that last bit was confusing😅.
My daughter lost a friendship over this kind of crap. Good friend from high school got pregnant but still wanted a “nice” wedding. She was struggling, living with her boyfriend while my daughter went straight to work and was doing well. So she picks my girl as maid of honor and tells her she must pay for venue, and catering, not plan it mind you, cause her mom was picking everything out. But when my daughter told her she was bringing a date - a young man she had been dating for a year, the girl said no, there is no room, and she didn’t want any f**kbuddies at the wedding. Then the girls fiancé and mom called my daughter using the same term, insisting she could not bring anyone, because she imagined my daughter was living her best life with all the money she was earning, partying and dating (and sleeping with) all kinds of guys. So my daughter blocked her, got back her deposit for the venue and catering, and never talked to her again. The girl recently tried to contact her on Facebook when she saw that my girl was marrying that young man, but my girl didn’t respond.
What I see: people getting away with this shit What I wanted: “needless to say, everyone left the wedding straightaway” What would have been even better: “about a few days later, she messages us saying that she’s sorry she was such a bitch, but even her family doesn’t like her anymore. She comes to her parents house (that she was kicked out of btw) bawling, but we ignore her. Last I saw her, she was peddling for money on the street. I threw some at her and said, “how about that rich-ass party now, hmm?” and speed away 🙃”
i have a great uncle that ALWAYS has weed on him, so during my cousins wedding we got stoned while the rest of the family fought👌🏾👌🏾 (i’m 16 and he’s like 50😂)
Mine wasn’t a bridezilla exactly, but I still have some strong feelings about it nevertheless. I was the only physically disabled bridesmaid, and her family told her how wonderful and amazing she was for being my friend, and letting me feel included by bringing me to her wedding. She didn’t correct the assumptions or defend me at all.
I feel like these people don’t realize photoshop is a thing.... like you could literally pay someone to just make all of the photos just the way you want them, and that could save your friends hundreds of dollars
Wow what kind of "friend" kicks someone out of the wedding party just cos they lost weight and look good.and what pos shouts at their dad for daring to have an heart attack on their wedding day,any normal person would be more terrified about their dad
My maid of honour actually had to bitch at me to get me to actually be more of a strict bride. Here is a brand of cheap dresses, pick a style you like and I will have them made in all the same shade of blue. The $200 dress is all you have to buy. How do you want our hair? they ask. I dunno, pick a style that suits you. What about makeup? Just aim for natural. Heel or flats? Whatever you feel comfy in. Gave my maid of honour a budget and told her to surprise me for my hens night. It was awesome. Got a call from the venue saying someone had accidentally booked the other half of the venue to an event with loud music. We came to an arrangement that the flute performance part of their schedule would line up with my vows and it was beautiful.
It's incredible how many pre-wedding rituals they have in USA. That's so many money spending expectations I wouldn't marry in the USA. Better spent homebssics
Yeah. The USA has some crazy pre-wedding things. If I have a wedding I'm just gonna do what speaks to me and my partner. Even if it's not like others expect.
Most weddings here aren't actually that elaborate. For example, I've never been at a wedding where the bride took one of those "bachelorette weekends." Bridezillas tend to have some of the most expensive weddings, and that includes pre-wedding festivities.
This only makes me appreciate how good the few weddings I've been to were. I was a flower girl at my uncle's wedding even though I was around eleven or twelve and I'm sure some thought I was too old for it, but they didn't say anything if they did. One of my babysitters, who was more like an older sister to me, had wedding an outdoor wedding where I was a guest and it was perfect, and I was so happy to see her and her guy(who's really amazing) tie the knot. I look back on those days fondly. I just hope future weddings I attend will be good to, and I don't have any bridezillas.
These were my two most bridezilla-ish moments I've had as a bridesmaid: 1) Bride friend asked why I had French tips instead of blue nails to match my dress, I said "French is more formal", "boooring!" and that was it 2) We were actually getting late to the Church, and the bride was a bit nervous and grumpy, rightfully Yeah.. I'm picky with my friends, and when they marry, they are actually lovely and fun brides.
Bruh our Asian weddings are so simple and complicated at the same time but nothing like this happens 😂 we just colour co ordinate like bridesmaids themes is blue everyone find a blue dress and voilà. Sometimes we just bring money for the couple if we not that close to the family, y'all it ain't that hard. Also 15:05 I found hilarious they were like I went to 3 weddings in a span if one yr. Me sitting here going to a wedding every 2 months: 👁👄👁
And imagine family on both sides tried to make feel guilty over not having too many people involved in our wedding. I wanted to have my hair long down my back -like usual, but 3 out of 4 bridesmaids wanted it short bc they never understood why I wanted pretty locks flowing nearly to my butt. I said fuck it then, cut it but stop bickering. They also wouldn't let me eat bc my sister was convinced if I ate I'd get sick over nerves during the ceremony so I was hangry af during a 3pm service. I just wanted a fn breakfast sammich, to walk down the damn aisle, marry my husband, drink champagne, and take off those high heels that I would never wear in everyday life. It was still absolutely beautiful honestly but I do wish my husband let us elope lol Attention young couples: ELOPE. GO SOMEWHERE GORGEOUS! Facetime your maid of honor and best man during the ceremony. It'll be less pricey and nobody will be drunkenly crowding your home and property until midnight lol
Gosh, this has made me vow that when I get married, it’s going to be chill and fun. No insistence on having “the perfect day.” I want it to be about me and my husband, not having the perfect colors for photos.
I'm set to marry in two months in the court house and on our year anniversary we will have a ceremony small one with a small reception don't see myself being a bridezilla lol
If I ever get married it’s going to be at the courthouse with a meal at a nice restaurant with my close family and my best friend a nice dress that doesn’t cost he Earth because hey I am only going to wear it once and a nice weekend at home with our cats and no one ringing on the phone every two minutes
I'd probably have a small ceremony with only close family and friends, have a party with a bit more people, then a quiet weekend somewhere sunny and by the coast. I have always loved the idea of a simple, pastel blue, knee-length dress, hair up in a bun, a lovely spring ceremony in a flower garden, then a weekend by the sea.
22:46 jeez here's my story about birthday and weddings , at my best friends wedding I'm maid of honor , the wedding was 1 day before my birthday , so come wedding day no one knew, except our closest friends, everything was perfect we were having a blast and then at precisely 12 midnight the bride stops everything and proceeds to make a speech about our friendship at which point she brings out a cake for me i was shocked. We are so blessed to have each other
I've been to 3 weddings: My cousin's, my brother's and a close family friend's weddings! We were all related to/friends with the Groom, and thankfully, their soon to be wives were not bridezillas!
I’m feeling spoiled by my sisters wedding. Was bride and groom, parents, siblings. Lasted 20 minutes. Reception was more of an open house thing a few weeks later so no one had to stay the entire time.
Groomsmen just have to deal with the fact that they’re never going to see one of their best friends again after the wedding. It really kinda sucks I haven’t seen a friend who is like a brother to me in three years.
6:10 "Don't expect me to guess, then judge me for failing your expectations, and be too chicken crap to talk to me directly about it!" ...and THAT right there is what it feels like to be a man in a relationship ladies. You preach you want honesty and communication and then judge us for both. So we don't do either and then you still judge us. We aren't playing stupid when we say we don't know why you're mad at us because no matter what we do, you're mad at us. Couldn't help but laugh at that part of it where a woman experiences what it's like to be a man.
I am so glad I was not a bridezilla. No bridesmaids. My maid of honor had no duties other than listening to me freaking out. I have ms and had a flare up a few days before the wedding and she gave me a gift card for a massage. It was a special occasion massage that Balinese brides receive with frangipani oil. She asked me what I want her to wear and I said anything you want as long as you feel beautiful in it in any color except orange.
When we were married we asked for things for the reception, Food, Decorations, ect. Instead of gifts. Everyone pitched in, from both families and we had a great party.
Man, you think these events weren’t real but then you realize certain events can bring out the worst in people. Based of my own experience of two weddings in my adult life, I haven’t witness anything on this level of crazy. Only time when bad things happened was when my dad( a guest, not the groom) lost his car keys and tried to blame me for losing them despite him being the last person who physically had them in his possession. Thankfully, this was small scaled and he found them pretty quick in his briefcase where he had put them but forgot.
My first wedding was big due to huge families on both sides. We only ended up about $1k in the hole. Not bad. Second ... Got married in a park with our friend the minister, her wife,y son, his buddy, my Mom and a dear friend. We went to dinner after. Perfect deal. Loved it.
lmao my parents got married in our living room, granted our living is bigger than some people's house I'm not trying to sound like a bitch I'm just trying to give an idea of the space, my mom wore a suit.
Woman I was friends with acted like a total bridezilla. She decided to have her wedding in Mexico, fine. But when I told her I lost my job and may not be able to attend, she called the other bridesmaid flipping out over who would be her MOH if I didn't come. She also didn't even want to ask me to be her MOH because apparently I wasn't enthusiastic" enough when she texted me that she got engaged. Her fiance told her to ask me, since I was the one who set them up and I was the friend closest to her at that time. The other bridesmaid had a parent who was terminally ill. Instead of trying to be compassionate, the bride was on her case to buy her bridesmaid's dress. When the parent passed away, 3 weeks before the wedding the bride barely acknowledged it. The bride's MIL was also extremely rude to myself and the other bridesmaid during the planning of the bridal shower and wedding and at the wedding itself. Long story short, we stopped talked about a year and a half after the wedding.
I’ve been married 2 times! Luckily I didn’t pay too much for the weddings - really don’t make great husband choices apparently. Probably will be married a third time though cuz I never learn & I am a hopeless romantic :)
I still don't get it why the bachelorette parties have to be so expensive in the US. The bachelorette party of a friend of mine was less than 50 euros for each of the guests. No destination. If you want a fancy party - pay for it yourself!
The stories of people who are like "I had to overdraw my bank account in order to attend the wedding/buy the dress/pay for the bachelorette party" I get that social pressure is real, but you _really_ should quit when it hits that point. Don't think "let's just get through this" when you're at risk of bankruptcy. Get some backbone, c'mon.
Everytime I see one of these bridezilla compilations, I thank goodness for my baby sister, who is so calm and sweet and chill, and got even calmer and sweeter and chiller as the planning went along. People still say that this was the best wedding they ever been to. I mean, they spent most of their budget on lots of awesome food, but my sister's sweetness was like the best part
I knew a bride that wanted to take pre wedding photos. Not a big deal, the house is on 3 acres so very pretty. But the bridesmaids had gotten their hair, makeup and dresses on then it started to drizzle. Not enough to mess up anything if your walking to a car but would definitely mess up the proffesional beautician done makeup if you stand still. Not to mention hair. We got a few shots in anyway because we knew she would throw a fit regardless. But after a bit the girls where saying 'I'm not getting this stuff done again. We're going inside." This is 20 minutes before everyone has to leave. Definitely not enough time to fix hair and makeup. But the bride just didn't get why the pics she wanted was just not the priority.
Watching these types of videos weeks leading up to my wedding made me super self aware because I wanted to make sure I did NOT cause anybody any problems because I did not want to be a bridezilla. It’s not in my personality to be a bitch anyways but I was super self conscious and afraid of making things difficult. I always checked up on everyone and was worried more about pleasing everyone else.but unfortunately because I refused to speak up about things I didn’t like I ended up getting married in hair and makeup that I absolutely hated. 😂😂 I really need to find a balance.
My friend's wedding was the day after my birthday and my friend gave me a birthday cake at the reception. A FREAKING BIRTHDAY CAKE. Still friends with her and her husband, I love them to bits!!!
If a friendship can be broken by these stupidities, then they are better of without it, as it wasn't a friendship to start with. I really cannot understand the mentality of these women, and honestly, if I was the one marrying them, I would be second thinking the marriage, HUGE red flag flapping away there in the foreground..
To the lady who missed her sister's wedding and bachelorette functions so she could spend time instead with their dying father, don't worry, I'm sure this won't be her last wedding. I have no doubt you'll have several more chances to be her bridesmaid, mainly bc she won't have any friends left by that point.
😁😂😂😂😂😂
At least the father had the daughter who actually gave a damn about him by his side as he passed.

That birthday story resonated with me. I was invited to wedding that was taking place on my birthday the year my husband passed away. It was the first wedding I was to attend after he died (we'd only been married a few months/he'd only been gone three months at the time of their wedding). It was a lot but it meant a lot to them that I came. I told them I would come to the reception, and I went. To my surprise they had a whole birthday cake for me, they had their DJ play Stevie Wonder's version of Happy Birthday and all our friends that were there (it was a big group of us that have all been pals forever) gave me hugs and it was amazing. (I had NO idea they were going to do it and knowing they changed important plans to show ME love on their special day really meant the world)
First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss 💔That’s so kind though, I remember how much even the smallest act of kindness meant to me after my SO passed away, and I can only imagine how much it must have meant to you that your friends did that. What a beautiful thing to do 🥰
Oh my goodness, this made me cry. You pretty much deserved it and it's awesome she shared her day with you like that. I would do it too, no question! What a beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing something so intimate like this, seriously, your comment was the first ever to make me cry. In a good way.
I'm so sorry about your husband's passing!!!! Im glad that you got to have a good time!
Thanks for sharing. That's heartwarming.
I'm really happy for you. I am so glad that you had such a wonderful surprise from such thoughtful and supportive loved ones. 💗💗💗 I'm so glad that even though you lost someone, there were so many more people who flocked to your side
Women like this have no other goals in life than just a wedding ..
My goal is to not get married. I see marriages as modern slavery and a very high risk. (I just say prenupas.)
Ye. Type who judges us, the non married, free debt and indepemdent women because we are "bare", while their snotty spawns runs around in dirty clothing and being unruly brats.
Ella Nettling please don’t compare what my ancestors suffered through to marriage
EDP445s Grandma yeah i was gonna say... that’s not okay 😐😐
EDP445s Grandma everyone’s ancestors were slaves also there are millions of people right now that are slaves while you get to sit and play on UA-cam. Stop gate keeping something that you literally never had to go through
My brother got married on my birthday and my sister in law told the dj to call me
Up during the reception and everyone sang me happy birthday
Good on her. Thats how it should be.
Aw that’s adorable
That was nice
That was sweet of her. 🎂
How awesome to have her as your sister in law
Everyone needs someone like the "best lady/shield maiden" you sound like you make life fun . You rock
We should all have a friend like that, and by the sound of it (just assuming best lady meaning she was a female best man, so was part of the groom’s side), the bride is totally cool with the friendship (or also close with her), so it sounds like a really healthy relationship to boot if I heard correctly.
Not the bride.
But a couple from the husband's side. Friends of his, tried to get me thrown out of the party...
My big sister, was the bride.
She kicked them out instead & got me more vodka.
Good on your sister. 💞
You're sister is awesome
Kacy Watson fabulous sister 💜
My own big sister is terrible she went to Rome to get married by the pope only her best friends were invited not even our dad was there had a big reception when she got back sat us at a table beside the toilets people thought her aunt (different fathers his sister) was her mom even said in speeches she didn’t correct them my mom was so upset she was depressed and upset about it for a very long time especially when my sister finally took photos with me and my mom you can see the door to the toilet behind us in the picture
@@ClareAngel78 you should honestly stop calling her your sister. That's not how a family should be.
The ones withs the brides throwing hissy fits because their friends needed to be with their dying family members make me sick! My younger brother, who I'm very close to, attempted suicide 4 DAYS before my wedding and was admitted into a mental hospital for the next few months. As devastated and upset as me and my husband were he couldn't make it, we told him we would have rather him had gotten the care he needed. When he got out we sat down with him and showed him the wedding video, we even had the DJ dedicate a song to him during the reception which he got to see
Aww that’s so sweet!
Aww I hope he gets the help he needs
I'm glad your brother is still here. I hope he's okay now or is getting the help he needs. Thank you for being such am understanding sibling. ❤
It's really making me lose the last shred of faith in humanity I was clinging to.
@@smileplease_91 thanks for your kind comment :) yes hes still here with us, I actually video chatted with him yesterday. Hes been put back in a few times in the hospital, it's his home life that's been really hard and making him do that.

The fact that she actually stayed on the phone for 2 hours being berated.......girl wtf. That shouldve been a 10 second phone call
TLDR: bride caused a scene because my hearing aids were being too “distracting” and was ruining her perfect day. The bridesmaids threatened to leave, and the groom backed me up.
To the OP who was told to take off their glasses, my story is similar. So earlier this year I was asked to be a bridesmaid for one of my friends weddings. I of course said yes, as I had known her and her soon to be husband for years. She wanted all bridesmaids to wear this complicated updo that the hairdresser would do at the venue at the same time the bride was getting ready. All is fine and well, the hairstyle complimented hers so no one seen an issue...until after the hairdresser did mine, 2 hours before the wedding.
The bride immediately began throwing a tantrum, stomping around and pushing her makeup artist out of the way to continue pitching a fit. None of us had any clue what she was talking about, screaming about how my hair is “unacceptable.” All eyes in the room looked at me, then to her, then to my hair. No one seen an issue. When the brides mother asked what was wrong, she began sobbing uncontrollably at me somehow ruining her perfect day.
Turns out, she had an issue with my hearing aids. They “grabbed too much attention” and took away from the bride. That they were tacky and i should have never worn them, because they weren’t what we “discussed” as accessories and jewelry. Her mother kept trying to explain to her that I, in fact, could not NOT wear my hearing aids. The bride knew I wore them, had never said anything prior to this moment. I suggested that, since i was the first bridesmaid to have her hair done, we could change it to something more...accommodating, that could hide them if she wanted. She wouldn’t have any of that. No. The only solution in her mind was to take away my ability to hear.
Bride kept insisting I was ruining everything by wanting to wear something she wasn’t comfortable with. Even some of the friends of the groom, who weren’t involved with the wedding, was telling her to calm down. She kept yelling and causing a scene, until finally I told her if she wanted all of her bridesmaids, then she will let me HEAR. The other bridesmaids agreed, making a move to leave. im not going deaf for the entire wedding. Even if I WAS feeling generous, I still would refuse because I want to see one of my best friends (the groom) get married to someone he adores. The bride finally calmed down and the makeup artists had to hurry to fix her makeup. She still rarely talks to me, but I don’t really care. Her husband, when bride told him about me being “selfish” immediately backed me up and started this huge fight. This is because the groom has a brother who is partially deaf (like me) and uses crutches due to his cerebral palsy. By her insinuating my disability is simply too inconvenient for her and her lifestyle, she is implying the same about her now-husbands brother.
That's....not gonna end well in the long run.....most likely, at least...
Sapphire Shores True, i hope the groom finds someone who isn't crazy
@@WickedPhase Me too, man.
@Jordan
Oh my god that’s awful. That makes me want to cry, I’m so sorry that happened to you. What a nasty woman.
I know you sent this awhile ago, I just hope you are well and hope you never have to go through something like that again.
I wear hearing aids too and this makes me so freaking livid. What a cow.
The “Hi Jessica!” Moment made me start laughing my ass off! 🤣 I can only hope Grandma shuts her up by telling her what a brat she was and is continuing to be!
These stories are so insane and it breaks my heart seeing friendships end to pettiness and money issues. I wanna share my bridesmaid story just for laughs now.
I was a maid of honor for my childhood BFF who didn’t make me pay for a thing except for gas to drive and to BYOB. She hand-knitted my Star-Spangled Banner skirt for me. (We were raised Texas trailer trash, I knew what this was going to be lol.)
She had a bachelorette party the night before the wedding, got super drunk for the first time in her life, and tried to drive a truck because she got pre-wedding jitters, to which I stopped her by giving her a big forced hug and telling her how lovely of a bride she’s going to be. She calmed down and got a good night’s rest before the wedding.
All is bridesmaids wore star-spangled tank tops and skirts. Some of us were barefoot for fun because the ceremony was held in the soft grassy field behind the local Baptist church. Her husband was a tall, goofy son of a b**** who I didn’t originally like, but later warmed up to him because I could see he really loved her. Nobody objected, we all cheered and yee-hawed when they kissed. The wedding cake was from Walmart where she worked at the time, it was cute and delicious.
The man she chose wasn’t the kind of man who forced her to stay home with the kids, he fully supported her going to college while they raise 2 kids. She’s now a registered nurse, still in the country, and I moved to Dallas and became a fraudulent investigator. 🤓
I am in love with the city and my yee-haw days are basically over, but my southern accent comes out when we visit each other. 🤠 Which is funny because I’m also half Mexican and when I talk to my dad I have a slight Mexican accent. 😆 Very fun background.
The point of this story is you don’t need $60k to have a nice wedding. You just need good friends, good family, and good cake.
That sounds like a great time.
A truly enlightening story that restores my faith in humanity. I wish all wedding stories were this uplifting. Bridezillas need to TAKE NOTE!!!
My cake was from Walmart as well. I have a beautiful, hand blown, glass cake topper and I took it with me when we ordered the cake. We requested a half sheet cake with an 8” round on top to accommodate my topper. Those were my “demands”. I spoke with the bakery manager and said “this is for my wedding, so have some fun with it.” For around $30, I had the most perfect wedding cake ever. (Almost 21 years later, the cake topped is still on my Knick-knack shelf.)
Now that’s a genuinely happy story and wedding. You all (sorry, y’all) sound amazing. May you all have many happy years.
Love was truly in the air that day
Stories like these make me glad to be a nerd with nerd friends.
I'm invited to a LARP wedding in September, and the entire wedding party will camp in an old castle ruin for the night and roleplay in period-appropriate garb over the course of the two days; the only present we're expected to bring is homecooked food so the wedding can have a large, medieval-style buffet.
No drama at all, just nerdy people having fun. :D It's gonna be great.
That sounds like fun. My wedding (if I have one, I'm single right now) would be very peaceful. Small outdoor ceremony in a flower garden, nice dinner, and then a weekend by the coast somewhere sunny. I'd be wearing a knee length, pastel blue, simple dress, hair in a bun, and glowy, natural makeup.
I one read about a wedding in Star Wars theme and that was the only wedding I would want to go to
Sounds amazing
This is goals
Okay, but who is roasting a whole pig? I feel like someone is going to roast a whole pig.
Anyone else feel like weddings started out as this really nice thing but in the last 30-40 yrs have gotten super toxic?
They have. It's turned into a beautiful Union of two people, into "who can flaunt the most money" it's sickening.
The wedding/marriage is a status symbol. “Look at me, I’m married! Look at my wedding photos!” Meanwhile, you’re divorced in under ten years. Idiots.
Plus, at what pointing time did it become the bridal party's responsibility to pay for their own outfits and makeup, in addition to the various unnecessary parties and weekends away? The expectations around weddings nowadays has become ridiculous. On another post someone was told by his grandfather that organising a wedding would show how selfish people are. Seems this is true.
Maybe we haven’t heard of them because Internet wasn’t really there yet
Weddings were never a "nice thing: marriage came about as a way to subjugate women and treat them as chattel. Sure, its eveolved into being about "love" but as long as people have been in existence there has been drama. Drama isn't something new, neither is the kind of pomp and circumstance that comes with weddings. Don't kid yourself and romanticize the past. People have always been messy and always will be.
It’s videos like this that make me glad I never experienced this at the weddings I attended.
It's videos about murder that make me realize I'm glad I was never murdered.
@@Archocobunny12 I was expecting to see this comment lmfaoo
Same! All the weddings I’ve been to have been lovely. I heard my cousin’s wedding was a little weird, but I wasn’t invited, so 🤷 dodged that awkwardness!
Same here
When I have my own wedding, the only mandatory thing I want is a picture of my deceased mother placed on one of the front seats.
I give no fricks about a dress, makeup, not even a cake!
I just want my mother to see me get married as I promised!
Yes. If someone important dies before I get married, they will be there in the form of a framed picture.
That's sweet. I hope you will do it. Weddings are about love, aren't they?
My mother is a wedding planner, so growing up, I had to deal with so much of this second-hand b.s from all of these families I didn't even know, so I already know the deal. I just ended up getting married in the courthouse 10 states away and not telling many people. She was infuriated when she finally found out, but whatever. When I was 7, I was entertaining the idea of my wedding in the future along with the other girls, and I said I wanted a red and black wedding. Red velvet, heaps of velvet red roses, black candles, black isle with red petals, bridesmaids in sleek red dresses with chokers/red heels, the guys in red-black-white tuxes, black and white invitations with red ribbons and shiny candy red font, crystal decorations, sheer black and red glitter wedding dress with sparkling black veil, black, red-cushion pews, ride off in a red Viper, etc. The whole 9. I even drew pictures. XD
Red, or red and black color combo are my favorite color(s), so it made sense. Mom went into complete panic mode, saying that was "wrong", getting all the older ladies to chastise me for it, then she said that was NOT happening. She kept telling me that it was wrong to even want such a wedding, and that I really don't want it. Called my little pictures "bad" too. Yes, because I don't know what I like, and a wedding planner couldn't crack open one of her own many wedding books and magazines to see that not all weddings are white, cream and pastely. Every non-genre party I've hosted to this day has been red-themed, so screw that, and her trying to shame me for wanting red. She even had the gall to say that my favorite colors are purple and lavender, no questions asked. I'm not a fan of purple at all, hardly anything I own is purple. She painted my room lavender one time during my high school goth phase. Hated it. XD
I was 7 years old when I could see the future of my mother controlling every inch of my wedding if I let her, and it made me just not want a wedding in the first place, totally put off by it, especially how she bossed all of the other family members around with their weddings, so it was the courthouse for me. I can't stand control freaks. She was right, the black and red wedding didn't happen, but she also didn't get a wedding, an invite, or notification of my marriage, soooo oof. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The red sterling Mc'bae,seems like your still in love with the color red!
@@malaksafa4074 Sure am. ^^
Screw it!!! I'd HAPPILY go to your Red&Black wedding. I LOVE those colors as well.
Wow, can't imagine how this controlling takes an effect on people... Insisting on Your *favourite colour*, really?
Honestly your red and black wedding sounds like such a cool wedding to go to
When will people learn that you can make an experience such as a wedding memorable without spending up to $25 k? All the stories I've read it's the memories and such that you remember, the good, the bad, the funny, the ugly.
I just want a wedding in the back parking lot of a Denny's 😭
@@Leninplier May I know the details?
I eloped for $500, including sending all 4 guests with a bottle of bubbly and a gift card for takeout. Social distancing wedding ftw
Based on the divorce rate, I think it's because a lot of couples aren't interested in marriage as much as the wedding. If you love someone, it doesn't matter if you get married in a castle or a church basement with a potluck supper. If you're getting married to someone you truly love, the important thing is you get to marry them. I'm not married yet, but the church basement thing is probably going to be my wedding. Although I am Mennonite, so having a simple wedding is pretty traditional (at one point in time, having a church wedding would have been seen as worldly in some Mennonite circles-they used to have small ceremonies in people's houses instead).
Because they only care about status and wealth, which is NOT true love. They're nasty, rude, and rotten people who use others for expenses. Seriously, I feel bad for the groom when normally in these situations he ends up with the debts. Even worse when it ends in divorce
As a woman I find it really weird so many woman would rather represent one night verses a marriage. The more expensive the wedding the sooner the marriage fails. They fail more often over people who marry in a pregnancy panic.
That confuses me too. But at this point some ppl care more about their image or having that perfect princess wedding.
Used to work in a hotel that hosted weddings in the mountains, and got yelled at by the bridezilla that we ruined her wedding because "our river didn't have enough water!" It was late summer, and a drought....I just had to explain I couldn't make her a bigger river for her wedding photos.
I have to add to this, that if you are a mother, sister, or friend of the bride DONT TURN HER INTO A BRIDEZILLA. Some women get so into it they seem to forget it’s not their wedding, and that they’re just along for the ride. I’ve personally seen people annoy and stress the fuck out of the bride for small or irrelevant things. PSA don’t add unnecessary stress to the bride/groom!
People like these are the ones whose marriages won't survive the first anniversary. My sister's wedding wasn't terribly expensive (I calculate my parents and his parents didn't spend more than $5.000 overall, not counting the plane tickets from London), it was planned and celebrated in the span of 2-3 weeks and there were less people than in a moderately crowded Subway train... and it was one of her, his and ours' happiest days.
Edit: I just noticed this could be seen as a "shotgun wedding", so -for clarity's sake- I will say it wasn't. It had to be done that way because his side didn't have much time to spend and my sister was neck-deep in her new job to think of her own wedding. Besides, both families live on opposite sides of the Pond, so logistically we did the best we could.
A "shotgun wedding" means the bride is pregnant. And refers to the olden days where the bride's father held a shotgun to the groom's back at the wedding ceremony, so he didn't runaway and so the child wouldn't be born out-of-wedlock as a bastard........so about your sister........
My sister's childhood friend had gotten married and told her THE DAY BEFORE and then proceeded to get mad that my sister couldn't be there to do her makeup and hair because she had plans. They ended up getting divorced 2 months later smh
I’m still in Highschool, haven’t even thought of dating yet, but I swear, when I get married, I will do everything in my power to be the nicest, most understanding bride ever. These women are sickening.
Honestly, this just makes me grateful for all the genuinely happy and pleasant weddings I've been to. I've never seen a bride (or groom) display the kinds of vindictive, petty, or downright vile behaviour that is chronicled in these stories.
Literally the most unpleasant behaviour I have ever personally witnessed at a wedding was a friend of the bride who made a ridiculously long and unnecessary speech. That's it, that was the extent of it. If that was the worst thing I'd ever have to experience at a wedding, I'd be perfectly content with that.
Same, the weddings i've been to at the very worst have been super boring, but that was because I was a kid
I've been to 1 wedding in my life, and it was exactly how I want my wedding. Beautiful and peaceful outdoor ceremony in a flower garden, then a fun party in the evening. Despite being only 5 at the time, I loved it.
Worst one I’ve been to was just too long. Even then the wedding itself was fine and had no other problems.
William Ford Were there children there? I ask because if children were at an overly long wedding, the wedding party was lucky tantrums from bored, sleep-deprived, and hungry youngsters didn't break out.

All of these bridezillas sound like old, previously thriving sorority girls. (Said as an ex-sorority member)
Does this happen frequently in sorority sisterhoods or something? (At least ones like yours)
When I get married, it’s just gonna be a small party b/c honestly, I don’t like crowds and I don’t want people to see me kiss my s/o. Me and my s/o will put on rings, drink some alcohol-free champagne, eat food, and hang out with my friends (if I have any in the future)
I hope all goes well for you.
Mine will be a small spring ceremony in a flower garden with close family and friends in the afternoon, then a party with a bit more people, then a long weekend by the coast somewhere sunny. I have always liked the idea of light makeup, hair in a bun, and a pastel blue, knee length, pretty dress.
"brid-a-zilla"
i'm in
This makes me never want to be a bridesmaid.
A former friend of mine who wanted me to be a bridesmaid yet wanted us to pay for our own bridesmaid outfits, pay our own airfare to her destination wedding in Hawaii, as well as pay our own food and hotel costs. I couldn’t afford that. Two thirds of the bridal party couldn’t afford it.
She also expected us to provide gifts, despite being registered at all of the most expensive stores. The Maid of Honor quit and told her to “F*** off!” and said they were done being friends. We all refused to go.
I wonder what the grooms think about their darling wives.
They're expected to put up with it because she's too precious.
If I ever get married, I will make sure not to be like this. I know what I want, but if something minor doesn't exactly go to plan, it's all part of the fun. As long as the basic elements I want are there, I don't care. The only things that will not be changed are:
-A pastel blue theme, including a knee length, beautiful blue dress.
-It being in the springtime, outdoors. I love nature so somewhere with a lot of flowers.
-A small ceremony, then big, chill party in the evening.
-A honeymoon somewhere hot by the sea. I love the beach and the ocean.
Sounds pretty fun to me. I'm sure it speaks to you lovingly.
There is a saying about wearing blue on your wedding. It goes; married in blue your love is true💙
@@zellagrace445 I've never heard that before! I just really love light blue and have always fantasized about a blue dress in a rose garden.

Three events that bring out the absolute worst in people:
Weddings
Funerals
Baby Showers
“Hair color is too similar to hers!” Bullshit. I was in my cousins wedding this year and we look a lot alike even though her mom is my Dad’s sister, I’m also practically a carbon copy of my Mom. Most of the bridal party were brunettes with the exception of my cousins one friend (black hair with red streaks, which was allowed) and my other cousin (they are sisters) who is blond. It was all fine. And for the bridal shower we just went to this local place to do ceramics, we paid for our own stuff (all 15 dollars or under) then went to her parents house, right down the driveway from mine, to eat pizza and watch the “Bridesmaids” movie. I had a great time and might also be in my other cousins wedding next year, but since it is so far away I don’t think she has most of the bridesmaids picked, but I know for sure that my cousin’s sister is her maid of honor just like in reverse at my cousin’s wedding. Sorry if that last bit was confusing😅.
My daughter lost a friendship over this kind of crap. Good friend from high school got pregnant but still wanted a “nice” wedding. She was struggling, living with her boyfriend while my daughter went straight to work and was doing well. So she picks my girl as maid of honor and tells her she must pay for venue, and catering, not plan it mind you, cause her mom was picking everything out. But when my daughter told her she was bringing a date - a young man she had been dating for a year, the girl said no, there is no room, and she didn’t want any f**kbuddies at the wedding. Then the girls fiancé and mom called my daughter using the same term, insisting she could not bring anyone, because she imagined my daughter was living her best life with all the money she was earning, partying and dating (and sleeping with) all kinds of guys. So my daughter blocked her, got back her deposit for the venue and catering, and never talked to her again. The girl recently tried to contact her on Facebook when she saw that my girl was marrying that young man, but my girl didn’t respond.

Some of these women needed a punch to the face for a reality check
What I see: people getting away with this shit
What I wanted: “needless to say, everyone left the wedding straightaway”
What would have been even better: “about a few days later, she messages us saying that she’s sorry she was such a bitch, but even her family doesn’t like her anymore. She comes to her parents house (that she was kicked out of btw) bawling, but we ignore her. Last I saw her, she was peddling for money on the street. I threw some at her and said, “how about that rich-ass party now, hmm?” and speed away 🙃”
So many friendships gone over nothing.

"But...you dont understaaaand, man!"
Mine wasn’t a bridezilla exactly, but I still have some strong feelings about it nevertheless. I was the only physically disabled bridesmaid, and her family told her how wonderful and amazing she was for being my friend, and letting me feel included by bringing me to her wedding. She didn’t correct the assumptions or defend me at all.
you better have dropped her. that isnt a true friend

Here is a brand of cheap dresses, pick a style you like and I will have them made in all the same shade of blue. The $200 dress is all you have to buy.
How do you want our hair? they ask. I dunno, pick a style that suits you. What about makeup? Just aim for natural. Heel or flats? Whatever you feel comfy in.
Gave my maid of honour a budget and told her to surprise me for my hens night. It was awesome.
Got a call from the venue saying someone had accidentally booked the other half of the venue to an event with loud music. We came to an arrangement that the flute performance part of their schedule would line up with my vows and it was beautiful.
It's incredible how many pre-wedding rituals they have in USA. That's so many money spending expectations I wouldn't marry in the USA. Better spent homebssics
For my wedding, I'm probably just gonna have a nice ceremony + reception and a honeymoon. I'm not planning on doing much
Yeah. The USA has some crazy pre-wedding things. If I have a wedding I'm just gonna do what speaks to me and my partner. Even if it's not like others expect.
Most weddings here aren't actually that elaborate. For example, I've never been at a wedding where the bride took one of those "bachelorette weekends." Bridezillas tend to have some of the most expensive weddings, and that includes pre-wedding festivities.
This only makes me appreciate how good the few weddings I've been to were. I was a flower girl at my uncle's wedding even though I was around eleven or twelve and I'm sure some thought I was too old for it, but they didn't say anything if they did. One of my babysitters, who was more like an older sister to me, had wedding an outdoor wedding where I was a guest and it was perfect, and I was so happy to see her and her guy(who's really amazing) tie the knot. I look back on those days fondly. I just hope future weddings I attend will be good to, and I don't have any bridezillas.
These were my two most bridezilla-ish moments I've had as a bridesmaid:
1) Bride friend asked why I had French tips instead of blue nails to match my dress, I said "French is more formal", "boooring!" and that was it
2) We were actually getting late to the Church, and the bride was a bit nervous and grumpy, rightfully
Yeah.. I'm picky with my friends, and when they marry, they are actually lovely and fun brides.
My grandmother on my dad's side made my mom a wedding dress, which my aunt, out of jealousy tore apart with scissors.
Bruh our Asian weddings are so simple and complicated at the same time but nothing like this happens 😂 we just colour co ordinate like bridesmaids themes is blue everyone find a blue dress and voilà. Sometimes we just bring money for the couple if we not that close to the family, y'all it ain't that hard. Also 15:05 I found hilarious they were like I went to 3 weddings in a span if one yr. Me sitting here going to a wedding every 2 months: 👁👄👁
And imagine family on both sides tried to make feel guilty over not having too many people involved in our wedding.
I wanted to have my hair long down my back -like usual, but 3 out of 4 bridesmaids wanted it short bc they never understood why I wanted pretty locks flowing nearly to my butt. I said fuck it then, cut it but stop bickering. They also wouldn't let me eat bc my sister was convinced if I ate I'd get sick over nerves during the ceremony so I was hangry af during a 3pm service. I just wanted a fn breakfast sammich, to walk down the damn aisle, marry my husband, drink champagne, and take off those high heels that I would never wear in everyday life. It was still absolutely beautiful honestly but I do wish my husband let us elope lol
Attention young couples: ELOPE. GO SOMEWHERE GORGEOUS! Facetime your maid of honor and best man during the ceremony. It'll be less pricey and nobody will be drunkenly crowding your home and property until midnight lol
I'm so thankful no one involved in my wedding was ever like this during the planning stages.
Gosh, this has made me vow that when I get married, it’s going to be chill and fun. No insistence on having “the perfect day.” I want it to be about me and my husband, not having the perfect colors for photos.
I want mine to be as perfect as possible, but if something goes a little unexpectedly it's all part of the fun. It's not the end of the world.
I'm set to marry in two months in the court house and on our year anniversary we will have a ceremony small one with a small reception don't see myself being a bridezilla lol
I've been to quite a few weddings and I've never seen a bridezilla first hand. I'm very blessed.
Reasons why people lose friends
If I ever get married it’s going to be at the courthouse with a meal at a nice restaurant with my close family and my best friend a nice dress that doesn’t cost he Earth because hey I am only going to wear it once and a nice weekend at home with our cats and no one ringing on the phone every two minutes
I'd probably have a small ceremony with only close family and friends, have a party with a bit more people, then a quiet weekend somewhere sunny and by the coast. I have always loved the idea of a simple, pastel blue, knee-length dress, hair up in a bun, a lovely spring ceremony in a flower garden, then a weekend by the sea.
@@Moo-2310 that sounds like a dream
Getting kicked out of the bridal party is a blessing in disguise.
22:46 jeez here's my story about birthday and weddings , at my best friends wedding I'm maid of honor , the wedding was 1 day before my birthday , so come wedding day no one knew, except our closest friends, everything was perfect we were having a blast and then at precisely 12 midnight the bride stops everything and proceeds to make a speech about our friendship at which point she brings out a cake for me i was shocked. We are so blessed to have each other
This is why I am glad that for my wedding it was just me and my husband, no guests just us a wedding and honeymoon all at once.

I've been to 3 weddings: My cousin's, my brother's and a close family friend's weddings! We were all related to/friends with the Groom, and thankfully, their soon to be wives were not bridezillas!

"Brid-a-zilla". ACTUALLY laughed out loud. :-)
I’m feeling spoiled by my sisters wedding. Was bride and groom, parents, siblings. Lasted 20 minutes.
Reception was more of an open house thing a few weeks later so no one had to stay the entire time.
>it’s all about her at a wedding
Whoever thinks this why it’s not HER day it’s not HIS day it’s THEIR day
Jeez, all I want at my wedding is the groom.
Groomsmen just have to deal with the fact that they’re never going to see one of their best friends again after the wedding. It really kinda sucks I haven’t seen a friend who is like a brother to me in three years.
6:10 "Don't expect me to guess, then judge me for failing your expectations, and be too chicken crap to talk to me directly about it!" ...and THAT right there is what it feels like to be a man in a relationship ladies. You preach you want honesty and communication and then judge us for both. So we don't do either and then you still judge us. We aren't playing stupid when we say we don't know why you're mad at us because no matter what we do, you're mad at us. Couldn't help but laugh at that part of it where a woman experiences what it's like to be a man.
I am so glad I was not a bridezilla.
No bridesmaids. My maid of honor had no duties other than listening to me freaking out.
I have ms and had a flare up a few days before the wedding and she gave me a gift card for a massage.
It was a special occasion massage that Balinese brides receive with frangipani oil.
She asked me what I want her to wear and I said anything you want as long as you feel beautiful in it in any color except orange.
Why do many people obsess over the wedding? It’s only one day, and the time you spend afterwards with your spouse is much more important.
When we were married we asked for things for the reception, Food, Decorations, ect. Instead of gifts. Everyone pitched in, from both families and we had a great party.
Smart move
I love it....free drinks free food and a free show
4:50 for anyone who wants to experience a seizure... LOL
this is why im glad my parents got married in court and had a party. they’re both good people but can flip out very hardcore
Man, you think these events weren’t real but then you realize certain events can bring out the worst in people.
Based of my own experience of two weddings in my adult life, I haven’t witness anything on this level of crazy. Only time when bad things happened was when my dad( a guest, not the groom) lost his car keys and tried to blame me for losing them despite him being the last person who physically had them in his possession. Thankfully, this was small scaled and he found them pretty quick in his briefcase where he had put them but forgot.
My first wedding was big due to huge families on both sides. We only ended up about $1k in the hole. Not bad. Second ... Got married in a park with our friend the minister, her wife,y son, his buddy, my Mom and a dear friend. We went to dinner after. Perfect deal. Loved it.
lmao my parents got married in our living room, granted our living is bigger than some people's house I'm not trying to sound like a bitch I'm just trying to give an idea of the space, my mom wore a suit.
Woman I was friends with acted like a total bridezilla. She decided to have her wedding in Mexico, fine. But when I told her I lost my job and may not be able to attend, she called the other bridesmaid flipping out over who would be her MOH if I didn't come. She also didn't even want to ask me to be her MOH because apparently I wasn't enthusiastic" enough when she texted me that she got engaged. Her fiance told her to ask me, since I was the one who set them up and I was the friend closest to her at that time. The other bridesmaid had a parent who was terminally ill. Instead of trying to be compassionate, the bride was on her case to buy her bridesmaid's dress. When the parent passed away, 3 weeks before the wedding the bride barely acknowledged it. The bride's MIL was also extremely rude to myself and the other bridesmaid during the planning of the bridal shower and wedding and at the wedding itself. Long story short, we stopped talked about a year and a half after the wedding.
Has anyone never experienced a wedding in real life before?
Only one, and that was when I was 5 years old. I am going to one in november though.
My neighbor got married when I was like 6.
I’ve been married 2 times! Luckily I didn’t pay too much for the weddings - really don’t make great husband choices apparently. Probably will be married a third time though cuz I never learn & I am a hopeless romantic :)
I still don't get it why the bachelorette parties have to be so expensive in the US. The bachelorette party of a friend of mine was less than 50 euros for each of the guests. No destination. If you want a fancy party - pay for it yourself!
The stories of people who are like "I had to overdraw my bank account in order to attend the wedding/buy the dress/pay for the bachelorette party"
I get that social pressure is real, but you _really_ should quit when it hits that point. Don't think "let's just get through this" when you're at risk of bankruptcy. Get some backbone, c'mon.
Everytime I see one of these bridezilla compilations, I thank goodness for my baby sister, who is so calm and sweet and chill, and got even calmer and sweeter and chiller as the planning went along. People still say that this was the best wedding they ever been to. I mean, they spent most of their budget on lots of awesome food, but my sister's sweetness was like the best part
I knew a bride that wanted to take pre wedding photos. Not a big deal, the house is on 3 acres so very pretty. But the bridesmaids had gotten their hair, makeup and dresses on then it started to drizzle. Not enough to mess up anything if your walking to a car but would definitely mess up the proffesional beautician done makeup if you stand still. Not to mention hair. We got a few shots in anyway because we knew she would throw a fit regardless. But after a bit the girls where saying 'I'm not getting this stuff done again. We're going inside." This is 20 minutes before everyone has to leave. Definitely not enough time to fix hair and makeup. But the bride just didn't get why the pics she wanted was just not the priority.
Watching these types of videos weeks leading up to my wedding made me super self aware because I wanted to make sure I did NOT cause anybody any problems because I did not want to be a bridezilla. It’s not in my personality to be a bitch anyways but I was super self conscious and afraid of making things difficult. I always checked up on everyone and was worried more about pleasing everyone else.but unfortunately because I refused to speak up about things I didn’t like I ended up getting married in hair and makeup that I absolutely hated. 😂😂 I really need to find a balance.
Aaaaaaw the friend who turned her rehearsal dinner into her friend's belated birthday bash is a great friend, everybody get you a friend like that
Those guilt trips bridezillas try to do over a dying relative. How narcissistic. Just looks unattractive overall.
Condolences to those who had thier Dad's die before a "friends" wedding
My friend's wedding was the day after my birthday and my friend gave me a birthday cake at the reception. A FREAKING BIRTHDAY CAKE. Still friends with her and her husband, I love them to bits!!!
"Trust like I wouldn't look like the babadook" I just threw out my shoulder yesterday come ON XDDDDDDDD
If a friendship can be broken by these stupidities, then they are better of without it, as it wasn't a friendship to start with. I really cannot understand the mentality of these women, and honestly, if I was the one marrying them, I would be second thinking the marriage, HUGE red flag flapping away there in the foreground..
If you see a bridezilla in the making, cancel the event guys and run!
