“AITA For Kicking A Server Out Of My Wedding?”

ADVERTISEMENT

Imagine that today is your wedding day, and it promises to be one of the most important and happiest days of your entire life. The guests have already arrived, your groom is almost shining looking at you, and everything is ready for a delightful ceremony.

Well, now let’s continue our thought experiment. What can darken the mood of the bride on such a beautiful day, so much that it’s all she can think about? Any important issues? Health problems? Worried about her guests enjoying everything? No, none of that! In fact, all the thoughts of the bride will be occupied by one of the servers at the wedding!

Don’t believe it? Then here’s the story, first shared on the AITA Reddit community a few days ago, with nearly 18.3K upvotes and over 1.5K comments, both angry and sarcastic. Moreover, the bride herself was the author of the original post!

More info: Reddit

RELATED:

    The Original Poster wanted to be the only star of her big day so she asked everybody to wear minimal makeup

    So, the Original Poster arranged her wedding, invited guests, ordered catering from the best company – and everything should have been almost perfect, if the woman’s mood had not been overshadowed by one detail. It may seem insignificant to you and us, but the bride was literally upset.

    The thing is that the woman wanted to emphasize her role as the main star of the day, so she asked all her female guests in advance to wear minimal makeup, and all employees of the catering company who would have to work at the wedding just to wear a kind of a strict uniform.

    One of the servers, a 19 Y.O. girl, looked too flashy, according to the bride

    Everyone obeyed the request but one of the servers, as it seemed to her, looked “too flashy”. The girl, about 19 years old, had clearly too much eyeliner, according to the OP. In addition, the bride was outraged that the girl had diamond studs in her ears, a flashy ring, and one of those nose studs. And finally, the server’s shirt seemed too low-cut, while her pants looked far too tight.

    In general, the bride, for some reason, decided that the server wanted to outshine her. She, around which the whole wedding party should revolve! No, it was literally unbearable! At first, the bride demanded to the boss of the catering company that he simply remove the girl to the back of the house. The boss said that it would be difficult because then there would not be enough staff, but they tried to do it.

    How indignant the bride was when, after some time, she saw the same server again! She once more called her boss and demanded that the girl just go home. The boss again complained about the lack of staff, but promised to come up with something. But when the guests moved to the bar counter, the OP saw the girl who so annoyed her for the third time!

    The OP ended up threatening to call the cops if the server did not go home at once

    Then she simply approached the boss and stated that if the girl did not leave the building in a matter of minutes, she would immediately call the police. So finally the server was sent home.

    True, the OP’s husband and mother-in-law said she was acting crazy, and that the poor college kid was now likely to be fired for literally nothing. And only the bride’s mother fully supported her daughter, saying that on the day of her own wedding, she has the right to do whatever she wants.

    The OP probably had some self-doubts associated with her own appearance

    Bored Panda reached out to Irina Matveeva, a psychologist and certified NLP specialist, to comment on this situation. “It is likely that the bride has some psychological complexes associated with her appearance, or self-doubt,” Irina comments. “It is also possible that she was so worried before the wedding that literally such a trifle caused her some version of a meltdown.”

    “Of course, it was not worth calling the police, and in any case, no matter how spectacular the server looked, the bride is still the main star of her special day, and she clearly did not need to worry about it. Probably, this woman should visit a psychoanalyst to sort out reasons for such a reaction to a seemingly mundane situation. This should definitely help her in the future,” notes Irina Matveeva.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    People in the comments simply told the OP to stop acting like the Evil Queen

    We must say that many people in the comments to the original post were not as delicate towards the bride as our expert. Firstly, commenters do not believe that the server will be fired at all – most likely, the company staff will simply laugh at this incident. Secondly, people are upset that the bride, instead of being happy that day, ruined everything herself by obsessing over a college-aged server.

    The commenters try to focus the OP’s attention on the fact that this was a server who was just doing her job, and that’s generally the last thing a bride should think about on her wedding day. She obviously needed to dance, laugh, enjoy everything – and not pretend to be the Evil Queen, like “Who is the fairest in all the land?”

    By the way, we have lots of of various wedding tales, so if you’re interested in this topic, we can suggest, for example, this post of ours about a cousin who was not invited to the wedding, and she decided not to send a gift in return. And, as always, we highly welcome your comments under this post.

    What is with this "nobody is allowed to be more attractive than me" at weddings these days? If the bride is so insecure or the groom is so easily seduced they should not be getting married.

    If I had needed to be the prettiest at my wedding, I would've had to disinvite my sisters and my female cousins. I wasn't a bad looking young woman or anything, but I've got a lot of stunners in my family. I was never going to be the prettiest girl in the room. I'm glad I got over that young, because we're old now and some of them that were used to being the prettiest took quite a psychological hit when the inevitable happened.

    Thankfully when the server goes home at the end of the night, she can wash away the make up and change her clothes. But that pitiful bride will still be just as spiteful and nasty in the morning. Which is 'a look' that doesn't look good on anyone. To Server Girl, keep on being you!

    I'm in my 50's now and have friends like this. They get so crazy when cute young girls are around their men. They get all these procedures done to compete with girls half their age. We already had our time being young and cute...let them have theirs!! Nothing wrong if you want to get things done and it makes you happy, but to be jealous to the point of dictating what people wear and how they do their makeup?? You need help.

    I an sorry but I personally don't understand why anyone believes they get to do more than provide "suggested attire". Where did this no blondes no hair beyond shoulder length, no people with left handedness no children adults pets or birds, if you have blue eyes you must wear contacts because we have brown and don't want you being the center of attention, all guests required to bring their own falcon, food not included invites came from. But I at least have a rule. If you tell me and my spouse, adults, we aren't allowed to dress ourselves because it's your special day and you have outfits, I at least will not be attending. I own 1 suit, That is what I'm wearing. I can't afford to buy a purple suit for you sorry.

    It sounds like the boss was just telling the bridezilla what she wanted to hear and then rolled her eyes as she walked away. Basically, the bride is mad at this server for existing and doing her job like the rest of the staff. I'll bet the bride is an HOA board member who calls the cops on children.

    I actually married twice and never noticed anyone but who was talking to me at that moment. Everything else was in the background. But most of all my husband, especially the second one. She needs therapy and her husband needs to get away from her. The mother wasn't better. They both acted entitled.

You're totally the AH, Karen. Sympathies to the groom. Edit: Also sympathies to all service staff who have to deal with your BS.

    It's not unusual for waitstaff uniform requirements to forbid stuff like that lady's jewelry. The idea is that the waitstaff should be subtle and not draw a lot of attention. If I saw a server in that kind of flashy jewelry, I'd notice. It's not impeccably professional. I wouldn't complain or anything. I'd simply notice it with a mild bit of surprise and then my mind would move on to other things that might actually matter. And I regard myself as being a pretty judgy person. I think this lady was mostly angry because the server was a pretty young lady.

    At her own wedding, her new husband and mother-in-law told her she was being crazy. Her OWN mother told her it was her wedding and she can do what she pleases. I truly think that the groom should have paid more attention to his MIL-to-be before he married. It seems that the little acorn didn't fall far from the tree.

I don't understand the part about the guests forced to wear dark colours do the bride and groom "stand out". It's their wedding, everyone is there specifically for them, I guarantee nobody thought a server was upstaging the bride. Had they actually been called, what on earth would she have said to the police?? "There's a server at my wedding who's wearing too much eyeliner and jewellery. She's too distracting, arrest her!" :-D

    I've literally never heard of a bride telling her guests what amount of makeup to wear... that's absolutely insane to me. I understand having a dress code and having your bridesmaids follow a softer makeup look for pictures sake or whatever but guests...? That's doing too much. She could have asked the server to take off her earrings but even that seems so out of touch to me.

    I'm so glad everyone already told her what I was thinking. Uuuugh. I'm half tempted to go find the original thread and see if she has any further commentary trying to justify this gross behavior. I would've declined my invitation the moment I'm told how much makeup I can and can't wear. Wedding culture has gotten so out of control, and it's people like her mother and MOH that fuel it by telling her what she wants to hear instead of the actual truth. Being a bride does not give you free reign to terrorize people and become a monster. 😒

    I would have gone if I was closer to the groom, but I would have worn neon pink and the most dramatic colorful make up I could manage - full on stage make up but with regular make up and toned down blush to look good up close and not kill my skin like pancake make up does.

    I worked at weddings to pay for uni eons ago, when brides weren't as unhinged as they are now, and even then witnessed some pretty nasty bridezillas. So l'm beyond surprise at this point.

    How do people like this have friends and who the actual f**k would marry someone like this? The fact that her mother and MOH backed her up is appalling and they are totally enabling her entitlement and jealousy. This woman seriously needs to get a therapist and I really hope she does not have children any time soon.

    They "are embarrassing themselves" only in the eyes of bridezillas. White is a normal colour for everybody, plus the men constantly wear white shirts at weddings. Banning women from wearing white is reserved for provincial, American weddings.

    I had a beautiful wedding that I'll never forget. Funnily enough, I didn't need to (or even think about) dictating what the guests wore, let alone how much make they had on. To do so with staff is very far into bridezilla territory. I suspect mother and mother-in-law may have been taking her side so as not to cause a big argument. I just wish the boss had stuck up for the girl.

    As someone who's done bridal makeup for wedding parties since the early 90s, I can tell you that it was a rare occurrence once upon a time. It seems that it's been made more acceptable in recent years sadly. They get these ideas from other insane bridezillas who like her mom and maid of honor babied her and told her it was fine to act like this because it's her day. It has gotten so bad that I'm hesitant to take wedding jobs as a makeup artist, even though those are the ones that pay the most.

    Women literally can't do anything right, can they? What wild things to get upset about. If it's a uniform, she likely didn't choose her pants and shirt, they just fit her the way they fit her. I've worked several uniformed jobs where whoever had picked the uniform had never stopped to consider that some people come with curves. Not saying I know this exact situation, but I have seen similar situations where the uniform doesn't come in a ladies cut, leading to a tight fit. Also, also, isn't wearing make up considered "professional" for women? I disagree with that too, but what is the alternative for this situation? Wouldn't a server wearing oversized clothes with no make up get slack for being "unkempt" and "sloppy?" There's no winning? Also - what a weird weird dress code. Did she really enforce a funeral dress code for her own wedding? Was this a celebration or a day of mourning?? You're gonna stand out, love, everyone came to see you, not like thyre going to forget!

    I will say the catering boss was an idiot for not being able to deal with this. There is no mention of the server getting a new shirt, removing the jewelry or makeup, or anything. The boss just hid her for a bit and then hoped their employer had the memory of a goldfish. I feel like THAT would be far more infuriating and distracting than the original concern over the server's appearance. Because then it becomes this battle of wills between the catering boss trying to pull one over and sneak one past, and the employers who hired them not having it and being insulted they even tried.

    I didn't know you could have too much eye liner on. She probably was mad because the guest was laughing it up with the server. After the boss talked to the server and sent her back on the floor did the server take off the jewelry? I'm not seeing a boss not correct things before letting the employee to continue to work. Than she put her in the bar, so how distract was she than. She was behind the bar making drinks. I'm sure you would have had to go up to the bar to see her pants. She could have took off the jewelry. I'm just saying it was far deeper than what she lead on to be. She needs to be committed somewhere. The groom needs to run away far.

    This woman has some serious self esteem issues. No one, I mean no one, outshines the bride at her own wedding. Just the way it is. She had nothing to worry about from the beginning. No one cares what the other guests or servers look like. This poor server likely wears this every day. Or at least when she's working. To tell guests what they must wear was the first red flag. I've only attended one wedding in my life that came even close to that. The invitation said "cocktail attire", because it was a late afternoon to evening function. But there was no stipulation or restriction on colors. And tell me I have to refine my makeup?? No way. This "entitled" bridezilla is in for a shock on the real world. No one is going to cater to her whims. I feel sorry for her husband.

    Even servers have a dress code (be in full uniform, minimal to no makeup, uni should be clean and well-fitting, no loose jewelry). That being said, the bride was totally out of line, focusing on the one server who was mainly doing her job. The only thing I would take issue with would be the eyelashes (easily fixed, just remove them, no biggie); everything else, just fine! But the bride was so insecure that she got to the point of threatening to call the cops if the server wasn't sent home (if I was the police, I would've arrested the bride for filing a false report, and for being just an AH for general purposes)!

    This Bridezilla is so worried about being the absolute center of attention, does she not realize that the cops showing up would be a *much* bigger distraction than some server wearing flashy jewelry and makeup could ever be? And then just imagine all the guests finding out *why* she called the cops, I'm sure *that* wouldn't have been an utterly humiliating experience for her. I can sympathize with feeling insecure, but there's no excuse for this kind of overreaction over something so unbelievably petty. The only one threatening to ruin this woman's big day is herself.

    Yes, not only are you TA, but you're selfish, insecure and petty. Were you worried that everyone was going to get confused about who was the bride because she too had jewelry on and looked nice? Stop shaming people because they don't look how you expect them too. I hope that your name gets leaked and everyone finds out how pathetic you are. Seriously? Calling the cops because a server is (GASP) wearing makeup? You're not only TA, you're also a moron. Take some of the money that you got from your wedding and spend it on therapy. Psycho.

An especially memorable one was were all the bridesmaids were so creeped out by the brides behavior (long story), that they each individually made an excuse to not go to the bachelorette party, without knowing the others had done the same.

    The bride was certainly over the top with her demands as has unfortunately become the norm these days. However, it was the supervisor of the serving staff job to accommodate. He or she should have had the server remove the jewelry and cover up when the bride first made a complaint.

    As much as the OP bride is indeed the A I seriously wonder what kinda upbringing she has had. For every out of control adult is a past out of control child and seriously the parents are responsible. Parents don't let your kids grow up to be like this person.

    As an adult your in control of who you are. She chooses to be this way, that's the bottom line. Her husband and mil both told her she was acting crazy and she still chose this path. Now her wedding will be remembered by everyone there but not because how "beautiful" she looked but how bat *hit crazy she is.

    I'll admit, one of my first thoughts upon reading was "Geez, this bride sounds like one of those Karens who threatens to call the cops whenever there's a black guy simply existing within 20 ft. of her." Can't say for sure that's what happened here, and I can fully believe that people like this don't need racism as an excuse to be horrible, but it also wouldn't surprise me.

    In this case, if the customer wanted it and it is doable, why did the company disregard her request? Sounds like they didn't take the bride too seriously. If a man had made the request it would have happened right away. I would have been furious too.

    This isn't going to be popular, but this bride did have the right to have her way about some of this, so bear with me. OP says that she asked everyone at her wedding to wear dark colors minimal makeup. She assumed this included the catering staff. Why would she assume that? Why would she need to? She either got this straight with the caterer ahead of time or she didn't. It should have been an addendum to her contract. (Remember it doesn't matter if we think it's stupid or not. ) The one piece of this that I agree with the OP on is the too tight shirt. It was a wedding reception, not Hooters. There are several situations where this is a bad idea. A wedding reception is one of them. And yes, the server was there to do her job but it can also be true that she was dressed to get attention. That's what 19-year-olds do in an environment rich with single people close to their own age. Having the catering mgr find her a larger shirt or apron would have fixed it

    Anxiety can make us behave in odd ways, and a wedding is a very stressful event. I suspect that the bride was freaked out and needed to vent and fixated on this blameless server. The bride doesn't appear to have confronted the young woman directly. I'd say the OP is NNTA (Not Necessarily the a-hole).

    You’re excusing abusive, “crazy” (per MOH et al) behavior with the *assumption* it was anxiety. This is the epitome of a logical fallacy. Just because she didn’t directly *harass* the server, but instead *hyperfocused* on a pretty standard dress then relentlessly *nagged* catering manager, including making *threats* (side note: labor law protecting employee trumped anything this woman said/did/wanted) that weren’t rational or would have been effective. NONE of *these* actions & behaviors is excusable, be they motivated by anxiety (unlikely) or the more plausible entitlement of the bride. STOP. EXCUSING. ABUSE. WITH. EMOTIONS. No anxiety, stress, worry makes abuse and harassment OK. SMH…damn apologists!!

    If I had needed to be the prettiest at my wedding, I would've had to disinvite my sisters and my female cousins. I wasn't a bad looking young woman or anything, but I've got a lot of stunners in my family. I was never going to be the prettiest girl in the room. I'm glad I got over that young, because we're old now and some of them that were used to being the prettiest took quite a psychological hit when the inevitable happened.

Where did this no blondes no hair beyond shoulder length, no people with left handedness no children adults pets or birds, if you have blue eyes you must wear contacts because we have brown and don't want you being the center of attention, all guests required to bring their own falcon, food not included invites came from. But I at least have a rule. If you tell me and my spouse, adults, we aren't allowed to dress ourselves because it's your special day and you have outfits, I at least will not be attending. I own 1 suit, That is what I'm wearing. I can't afford to buy a purple suit for you sorry.

    It sounds like the boss was just telling the bridezilla what she wanted to hear and then rolled her eyes as she walked away. Basically, the bride is mad at this server for existing and doing her job like the rest of the staff. I'll bet the bride is an HOA board member who calls the cops on children.

    It's not unusual for waitstaff uniform requirements to forbid stuff like that lady's jewelry. The idea is that the waitstaff should be subtle and not draw a lot of attention. If I saw a server in that kind of flashy jewelry, I'd notice. It's not impeccably professional. I wouldn't complain or anything. I'd simply notice it with a mild bit of surprise and then my mind would move on to other things that might actually matter. And I regard myself as being a pretty judgy person. I think this lady was mostly angry because the server was a pretty young lady.

I don't understand the part about the guests forced to wear dark colours do the bride and groom "stand out". It's their wedding, everyone is there specifically for them, I guarantee nobody thought a server was upstaging the bride. Had they actually been called, what on earth would she have said to the police?? "There's a server at my wedding who's wearing too much eyeliner and jewellery.

I would've declined my invitation the moment I'm told how much makeup I can and can't wear. Wedding culture has gotten so out of control, and it's people like her mother and MOH that fuel it by telling her what she wants to hear instead of the actual truth. Being a bride does not give you free reign to terrorize people and become a monster. 😒

    I worked at weddings to pay for uni eons ago, when brides weren't as unhinged as they are now, and even then witnessed some pretty nasty bridezillas. So l'm beyond surprise at this point.

    How do people like this have friends and who the actual f**k would marry someone like this? The fact that her mother and MOH backed her up is appalling and they are totally enabling her entitlement and jealousy. This woman seriously needs to get a therapist and I really hope she does not have children any time soon.

    They "are embarrassing themselves" only in the eyes of bridezillas. White is a normal colour for everybody, plus the men constantly wear white shirts at weddings. Banning women from wearing white is reserved for provincial, American weddings.

    I had a beautiful wedding that I'll never forget. Funnily enough, I didn't need to (or even think about) dictating what the guests wore, let alone how much make they had on. To do so with staff is very far into bridezilla territory. I suspect mother and mother-in-law may have been taking her side so as not to cause a big argument. I just wish the boss had stuck up for the girl.

    As someone who's done bridal makeup for wedding parties since the early 90s, I can tell you that it was a rare occurrence once upon a time. It seems that it's been made more acceptable in recent years sadly. They get these ideas from other insane bridezillas who like her mom and maid of honor babied her and told her it was fine to act like this because it's her day. It has gotten so bad that I'm hesitant to take wedding jobs as a makeup artist, even though those are the ones that pay the most.

    Women literally can't do anything right, can they? What wild things to get upset about. If it's a uniform, she likely didn't choose her pants and shirt, they just fit her the way they fit her. I've worked several uniformed jobs where whoever had picked the uniform had never stopped to consider that some people come with curves. Not saying I know this exact situation, but I have seen similar situations where the uniform doesn't come in a ladies cut, leading to a tight fit. Also, also, isn't wearing make up considered "professional" for women? I disagree with that too, but what is the alternative for this situation? Wouldn't a server wearing oversized clothes with no make up get slack for being "unkempt" and "sloppy?" There's no winning? Also - what a weird weird dress code. Did she really enforce a funeral dress code for her own wedding? Was this a celebration or a day of mourning?? You're gonna stand out, love, everyone came to see you, not like thyre going to forget!

    I will say the catering boss was an idiot for not being able to deal with this. There is no mention of the server getting a new shirt, removing the jewelry or makeup, or anything. The boss just hid her for a bit and then hoped their employer had the memory of a goldfish. I feel like THAT would be far more infuriating and distracting than the original concern over the server's appearance. Because then it becomes this battle of wills between the catering boss trying to pull one over and sneak one past, and the employers who hired them not having it and being insulted they even tried.

    I didn't know you could have too much eye liner on. She probably was mad because the guest was laughing it up with the server. After the boss talked to the server and sent her back on the floor did the server take off the jewelry? I'm not seeing a boss not correct things before letting the employee to continue to work. Than she put her in the bar, so how distract was she than. She was behind the bar making drinks. I'm sure you would have had to go up to the bar to see her pants. She could have took off the jewelry. I'm just saying it was far deeper than what she lead on to be. She needs to be committed somewhere. The groom needs to run away far.

    This woman has some serious self esteem issues. No one, I mean no one, outshines the bride at her own wedding. Just the way it is. She had nothing to worry about from the beginning. No one cares what the other guests or servers look like. This poor server likely wears this every day. Or at least when she's working. To tell guests what they must wear was the first red flag. I've only attended one wedding in my life that came even close to that. The invitation said "cocktail attire", because it was a late afternoon to evening function. But there was no stipulation or restriction on colors. And tell me I have to refine my makeup?? No way. This "entitled" bridezilla is in for a shock on the real world. No one is going to cater to her whims. I feel sorry for her husband.

    Even servers have a dress code (be in full uniform, minimal to no makeup, uni should be clean and well-fitting, no loose jewelry). That being said, the bride was totally out of line, focusing on the one server who was mainly doing her job. The only thing I would take issue with would be the eyelashes (easily fixed, just remove them, no biggie); everything else, just fine! But the bride was so insecure that she got to the point of threatening to call the cops if the server wasn't sent home (if I was the police, I would've arrested the bride for filing a false report, and for being just an AH for general purposes)!

    This Bridezilla is so worried about being the absolute center of attention, does she not realize that the cops showing up would be a *much* bigger distraction than some server wearing flashy jewelry and makeup could ever be? And then just imagine all the guests finding out *why* she called the cops, I'm sure *that* wouldn't have been an utterly humiliating experience for her. I can sympathize with feeling insecure, but there's no excuse for this kind of overreaction over something so unbelievably petty. The only one threatening to ruin this woman's big day is herself.

    Yes, not only are you TA, but you're selfish, insecure and petty. Were you worried that everyone was going to get confused about who was the bride because she too had jewelry on and looked nice? Stop shaming people because they don't look how you expect them too. I hope that your name gets leaked and everyone finds out how pathetic you are. Seriously? Calling the cops because a server is (GASP) wearing makeup? You're not only TA, you're also a moron. Take some of the money that you got from your wedding and spend it on therapy. Psycho.

An especially memorable one was were all the bridesmaids were so creeped out by the brides behavior (long story), that they each individually made an excuse to not go to the bachelorette party, without knowing the others had done the same.

    The bride was certainly over the top with her demands as has unfortunately become the norm these days. However, it was the supervisor of the serving staff job to accommodate. He or she should have had the server remove the jewelry and cover up when the bride first made a complaint.

    At least make these fake stories believable -this one is such bad fiction it’s laughable.

    Please stop making these stories up. This is so obvious it’s embarrassing.

    I'm so glad I never get invited to weddings if this is becoming the norm.

    As much as the OP bride is indeed the A I seriously wonder what kinda upbringing she has had. For every out of control adult is a past out of control child and seriously the parents are responsible. Parents don't let your kids grow up to be like this person.

    As an adult your in control of who you are. She chooses to be this way, that's the bottom line. Her husband and mil both told her she was acting crazy and she still chose this path. Now her wedding will be remembered by everyone there but not because how "beautiful" she looked but how bat *hit crazy she is.

    I don't know... I get the feeling that this also has to do with racism... I wish someone asked her if the server was black. It's just insane for someone to be this insecure without some bizarre thing like racism behind. Eyeliner? This can't be the real issue

    I'll admit, one of my first thoughts upon reading was "Geez, this bride sounds like one of those Karens who threatens to call the cops whenever there's a black guy simply existing within 20 ft. of her." Can't say for sure that's what happened here, and I can fully believe that people like this don't need racism as an excuse to be horrible, but it also wouldn't surprise me.

    In this case, if the customer wanted it and it is doable, why did the company disregard her request? Sounds like they didn't take the bride too seriously. If a man had made the request it would have happened right away. I would have been furious too.

    They didn't take her seriously because she was behaving like the spoiled brat she probably is.

    This isn't going to be popular, but this bride did have the right to have her way about some of this, so bear with me. OP says that she asked everyone at her wedding to wear dark colors minimal makeup. She assumed this included the catering staff. Why would she assume that? Why would she need to? She either got this straight with the caterer ahead of time or she didn't. It should have been an addendum to her contract. (Remember it doesn't matter if we think it's stupid or not. ) The one piece of this that I agree with the OP on is the too tight shirt. It was a wedding reception, not Hooters. There are several situations where this is a bad idea. A wedding reception is one of them. And yes, the server was there to do her job but it can also be true that she was dressed to get attention. That's what 19-year-olds do in an environment rich with single people close to their own age. Having the catering mgr find her a larger shirt or apron would have fixed it

    Anxiety can make us behave in odd ways, and a wedding is a very stressful event. I suspect that the bride was freaked out and needed to vent and fixated on this blameless server. The bride doesn't appear to have confronted the young woman directly. I'd say the OP is NNTA (Not Necessarily the a-hole).

    You’re excusing abusive, “crazy” (per MOH et al) behavior with the *assumption* it was anxiety. This is the epitome of a logical fallacy. Just because she didn’t directly *harass* the server, but instead *hyperfocused* on a pretty standard dress then relentlessly *nagged* catering manager, including making *threats* (side note: labor law protecting employee trumped anything this woman said/did/wanted) that weren’t rational or would have been effective. NONE of *these* actions & behaviors is excusable, be they motivated by anxiety (unlikely) or the more plausible entitlement of the bride. STOP. EXCUSING. ABUSE. WITH. EMOTIONS. No anxiety, stress, worry makes abuse and harassment OK. SMH…damn apologists!!
