I get it; weddings are a huge deal in everyone’s lives, and everyone wants everything to be perfect on their special day. Sometimes, however, the bridal couple takes things a tad bit too far, and their ridiculous behavior even leads to a highly disappointing event.

I mean, just look at this bride who expected the “flower dog” to be shaved to match the ocean-themed wedding. The bridesmaid, who owned the doggo, flat out refused, and chaos just rained down on the ceremony. Read on to uncover what really happened!

    While she enjoyed the time on the beach with her fur-full dog, she also posted about the whole thing on Facebook and outed the bridezilla

    Today’s story might catch you off guard because of how weird it is, all thanks to a bridezilla and her unexpected demands. The thing is, the original poster (OP) was a bridesmaid for her bestie Kelsey’s wedding, and she put a lot of money, time, and effort into it. From a $300 dress to a bachelorette in Tulum, or even helping her with the vows, OP went all in.

    However, she had to draw the line when, just a day before the wedding, she demanded that the poster shave her dog. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, this little girl (Mercedes) was the “flower dog,” and Kelsey wanted her to match the ocean theme of the wedding. Doesn’t even make sense in the slightest, right?

    The poster must have thought the same thing and naturally refused, thinking it was a joke, but all hell broke loose after that. Kelsey threw a huge fit, called her unsupportive, and even kicked her out of the bridal group chat. In fact, even the maid of honor chimed in unnecessarily and said that OP would be kicked out of the wedding if she didn’t shave Mercedes!

    For those of you who don’t know, a study revealed that the cost of being a bridesmaid is about $1,200 per wedding! That’s a lot of money, folks, and imagine being threatened to be kicked out right on the day before the wedding – sounds pretty brutal to me. Netizens were quite taken aback by the weird demand, and even suggested funny things she could do.

    However, our lady updated that instead, she decided not to attend the event altogether! Mercedes is like her child, and she didn’t want her to lose her fur for the sake of Kelsey’s wedding. Besides, research shows that shaving a dog can cause skin damage and increase the risk of sunburn and skin cancer, so it’s obvious she wouldn’t want to do that.

    OP also pulled off a smug move by gifting Kelsey her bridesmaid dress, and guess what? She also got all the juicy tea about the wedding from a groomsman who’s her friend. Apparently, the couple held off thinking that she was late, as they didn’t have a backup “flower dog.” They just asked a random kid to do it, and the little one tripped while he was at it.

    What’s more, the groom has OCD, so he was pretty upset with the number of bridesmaids being uneven to the number of groomsmen. Meanwhile, our main lady and her pretty little doggo were having a blast at the beach, totally unbothered by the disastrous wedding. OP also wanted everyone to know why she did what she did, and here’s where social media finally came to some use.

    She posted Mercedes’ picture with screenshots from Kelsey on Facebook for everyone to see how she had turned into a complete bridezilla! Netizens were absolutely delighted by how she handled the situation, and many applauded her for standing up for Mercedes. What about you? Did you find the story just as weird and amusing at the same time? Let us know in the comments!

    It's not even healthy for the dog, in most instances, to shave them! Good on her! I think a SHAVED dog would have looked so weird and would have "ruined the aesthetic"! Weird ask on the bride's part!

    If the bride wanted hairless, she should have gotten a naked mole rat as the ring bearer.
