30 Out-Of-Touch Brides Whose Expectations And Requirements From Others Deserve To Be Laughed At
Every bride wants the perfect wedding: starting from the guest list and the x-tiered cake to the gorgeous venue and the magical atmosphere. However, real-life isn’t perfect and there are no perfect weddings. Far from it! But if you demand perfection, then you’ve got to be the perfect bride to all of your guests and bridesmaids, too.
Unfortunately, the harsh truth is that not all brides are wholesome, joyful, and loving—some have got plenty of entitlement to go around that’s making some guests wonder whether to skip the happy occasion altogether. We’re not talking about your regular “we prefer wine over flowers” deal. Oh no! It’s the kind of entitlement and lists of demands that you’re likely to see on the legendary ‘Choosing Beggars’ subreddit.
With wedding season in full swing, you’re likely to get invited to a wedding or two this summer. So here’s a list of posts made by entitled brides that will make you glad that your loved ones and friends are nowhere near as bad. Remember to upvote the pics that you think should to act as an example of what to avoid doing in life and let us know about the biggest bridezillas you’ve ever encountered in your lives, dear Pandas.
Anna and Sarah from The Wedding Society shared with Bored Panda that the pandemic has shifted some wedding trends away from materialism and toward a different way to celebrate the happy day. “We're all being forced to reinvent what a wedding looks like and often now that means toned down, simplified and meaningful. Honestly, if people are looking to go with the trend of a big, gaudy, expensive wedding, that boat has well and truly sailed,” they said. Read on for the rest of the interview.

“The new trend that we're constantly seeing (and which we believe is here to stay) is having a day that is filled with meaning and feeling, rather than things,” Anna and Sarah pointed out to Bored Panda that current trends show people moving away from the things we’ve read in this list.
The wedding experts also shared with me their wisdom on how to approach situations where the happy couple might have very specific demands of their guests.

“As a guest, if you're invited to a wedding where there is a specific code of conduct, dress, or gift, you're ultimately going to have to respect what is being asked of you or decline to attend,” they said. However, there is a ‘but.’
“If the marrying couple are close enough to you, you should feel comfortable being honest in a kind way as to your reasons. And if the couple are the people that you know and love, they'll understand,” Anna and Sarah noted that your relationship with the couple really does count for something.

My niece got married two weeks ago and I was chatting with her photographer. She was telling me about all of the people that ask for free services for their weddings. The stories she told were of some of the most ridiculous stuff I had ever heard.

During an earlier interview, Anna and Sarah from The Wedding Society went into detail about the various aspects of weddings and perfection with me. They put it very simply: instead of focusing on all of the tiny details and trying to control everything, you should shine the spotlight on the marriage itself. Because that’s all that really matters.
“Trust us—you're only going to truly enjoy the day if you're focusing on what matters—the marriage. Everything else is just details,” they told Bored Panda earlier.

The duo from The Wedding Society suggested that brides shouldn’t obsess over a single thing, even one as important as a wedding dress. “The concept of a ‘perfect wedding dress’ really only matters deeply to those who are probably focusing on the wrong thing,” they said that we should all step back, reevaluate the situation, and remember what’s truly valuable here.

I was shocked at all of the things I was supposed to care about re: my bridesmaids. We bought a bolt of fabric, and I told them all to have made whatever style dress they felt comfortable in, as long as it was calf-length or longer. Hair? Whatever they wanted. Makeup? Whatever they wanted. Shoes? Whatever they were most comfortable in. Jewelry? Nails? Whatever they liked. I had so many vendors and older family members make comments about how the photographs wouldn't be "uniform" or "cohesive" if one had an updo and the other had a shoulder-length bob. Funny, but I was less concerned about "uniform" pictures and more concerned that people not be effing miserable. I can't believe people micromanage bridesmaids toenails. WHO IS LOOKING AT THAT?!
A Lifetime Opportunity: Wedding Party With A Contract
“There are literally thousands of incredible dresses directly available to you—it's almost a physical impossibility for only one to be right for you and, if that's how you're feeling, it's probably worth stepping back, taking a deep breath, and re-shifting your priorities,” they said. Similarly, focusing on gifts isn’t the way to go either because it takes away the focus from the celebration of love and shifts it towards material things and social status.

According to Anna and Sarah, too many people are “caught up in the party and the image” because they want to impress their social circles. Letting go of the need to impress takes a lot of stress off your shoulders and leaves more time to spend with the people that are supposed to mean the most to us. Entitlement and arrogance serve no one, especially not the person using both as a way to try and get the ‘perfect’ wedding.

Cb Bride To Be Complaining That Her Fiance Proposed To Her With His Grandmother's Diamond Instead Of The 'Blingy Ring' She 'Always Wanted'
In fairness if you ask what she wants and the get something completely different I can see being disappointed. Plus it shows he didn't listen to her and instead sorta foisted his and his family's choice on her. I would be annoyed to be asked and then completely ignored and pressured into something I didn't want. 10 years for a proposal likely also indicates other problems too
If the ring is the only important thing in her life, then she's too stupid and shallow to get married in the first place. HE should take this as a signal to kick her to the curb.

It's strange to me that people get upset that women ask for what they want. So what if she wanted something she liked. Why can't she like what she likes? Why does she have to be grateful for the ring her mother in law picked for her? He asked she told him and he didn't care and did what his mom told him to do instead.
He asked about ring STYLES. Because he was getting the grandmother's diamond re-set into a style she wanted.

Why ask what she wants if you are going to give her the only option you have anyway? And, in all honesty, I don't understand the tradition to propose with your grandmother's/great-grandmother's ring. I always thought it should be a ring you got specifically for the person you are proposing. It doesn't have to be expensive and with a huge-ass diamond, but I think it's should be something personal, only for them, not something that a few people wore before them.
So he asked her what she wanted and then disregarded her answer? I would have reservations too.
I'm on the fence with this one! It is something that you're (hopefully) going to have to wear the rest of your life and if it's really not your thing...I can understand not affording the one she wanted or his mother wanting her to have a family heir loom but forcing it on her isn't really fair. To me the ring is the most important bit, not the dress or ceremony, it is the symbol you'll wear till you die.
Why ask someone what they want and then totally disregard what they reply with? You're making it very obvious you don't care about that person's wishes.
You shouldn't have an obligation to pass your wedding ring down the line. Unless the line is royalty, the ring probably isn't this legendary legacy. Also, this is the ring you will wear every day for the rest of your life so I do understand the importance of loving your ring. I think the engagement should be picked out together, jointly. My husband and I picked out my engagement ring, years after we had been married in fact because when we got married we were too poor to buy rings. The ring I ended up with wasn't even that expensive, it was handmade and was $300. I didn't ask the price, just saw it one day and said, "Oh honey look, it is my wedding ring" and my husband laughed and bought it. I love my ring, wear it every day, and I honestly would hate the ring in this picture.
Looks like the couple needs to work on their communication skills. They need to talk it out and clarify the why's and the what's; after all, she's the one who'll be wearing it everyday. Since the ring that's being given is an heirloom, the couple should accept it and give it to their future daughter (when she comes at a certain age), should they plan on having child(ren); or give it to their future grandchild (at a certain age).
Sorry - this sort of behaviour and emphasis on material things is a big warning bell. Get out while you still have time (& take back your Gran’s ring while you’re at it). I guarantee she will make you miserable for the rest of your life.
Just be honest with him. He deserves to know you’re spoiled and ungrateful before he marries you.
If someone asks me what I want and then gets me something completely different cause that is what his mom thinks I should have that's not being spoiled and ungrateful, that is a partner that doesn't listen.

I'm not trying to get in any trouble here, but I would've been honored to wear something like that. It wouldn't have had to be altered. It would be lovely to give to daughters to come. I wish this had been a tradition in my family.
I don't get the point... They're both not good at it, and probably deserve each other. What do you have to ask the public about?
My cousin told her future husband after her proposed that his ring choice was "unacceptable." Cringe. To his credit, he got her a new one. Between the engagement and the wedding there was a family fallout (unrelated to the ring, lol) so I went from being in the wedding party to not invited at all, so I never did get to see the "acceptable" ring. I hope wherever they are, they're happy.
Why are girls in the US so obsessed with a "huge as f**k, doesn't care if he's insolvent after" ring for engagement and wedding? I don't get that.
Me neither. I have never met a european woman that cared for rings or even for her wedding. Some marry because legally os easier in some countries. Some dont. But I have never met a bridezilla or the 'i planed my wedding since i was a baby' kind of woman.

If she wanted a distinct look to her ring there are a lot of options if money was the issue. And I'm not suggesting CZ but there are moissanite or white Sapphire which are WAY less expensive but still give the look she wanted. This sounds more like a mother in law trying to push an heirloom, which honestly should go to a more grateful recipient considering they apparently care more about the stone than the setting.
Hey - how about buy your own damn ring?! It is supposed to be about being so in love that you value the person above any"thing" else. If it is a good arrangement, you can work to afford adding a stone you like later. When you die, the ring stays here anyway.
OMG, I would have treasured an Heirloom ring. Unfortunately, my Engagement ring was stolen so I could never hand it down to my kids.
I got my husband's grandmother's plain gold wedding band and felt honored.
Don't expect your marriage to last, honey. All you wanted was the proposal and the ring, wait until you're faced with "for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health" and all the other things that happen in a marriage.
I sorta sympathise. The ring isn't unique to her relationship, it's a family heirloom. That sort of item should be given as a gift, with the implication that it's to be passed down to future generations. As much as I think OP's bling/proposal comments might seem rude, I understand why she might feel disappointed with this ring
„The proposal wasn’t spectacular either“. I don’t care if she told him what she wanted. This woman is an asshole.
On the other hand, that ring is absolutely gorgeous, the carat size isn't lacking, and with that clearly materialistic side of her showing I'm surprised he popped the question at all. Can you imagine what sort of over-the-top things she'll be requesting for the wedding itself?
Dont marry anyone like this ever! If they give that kind of reaction-being married to this awful person will be so much worse. I don't know how any of these nasty selfish people manage to find a mate when some people would accept a gum ball machine ring
give him the ring back and tell him he can do better than your pathetic self.

This all reminds me of a "friend" bridezilla who decided that she would announce my holiday house as party area after her wedding WITHOUT even telling me first! The house is very old but has a huge garden, therefore she wanted to party there - which would have been okay by me if she at least asked first. When I confronted her with her random announcement, ready to tell her she could party there but should at least consult me first because the randomness confused me, she literally demanded me to renovate my holiday house because it wasn't "classy" enough for her wedding party (I told her by that time she could use the garden, but not the house, that's my place, there's a lot of fragile ancient things I inherited from my grandparents and great grandparents, and I don't want strangers to party in there), and then told me I'd need to give my dogs and cats for fking adoption because my "fight dogs" could scare the guests, and the cats might "steal" the attention from her. I told her she could celebrate her wedding party elsewhere and told her she's a ridiculous greedy witch. Needless to say we aren't friends anymore, and I'm glad about it.

I skipped right o down here to say: If the wedding is the most important day of her life, she needs to get her priorities straight.
My niece got married two weeks ago and I was joking about her asking for free stuff from her vendors. She said that she would be mortified to ask someone to work for free (other than me - I am a designer and did her printed materials, table decor, and alter for free, but that was part of gift to them and I volunteered). I was talking to her photographer at the wedding and I asked her if she ever got requests like these and she showed me an email she had gotten from a bride-to-be that day asking her to provide services and a photo album for free. In return, the photographer could place her business cards on the guest book table.
This thread just made me really grateful that I don't know anybody like these people, and hope that I never will. They are all just awful!
Considering at least half of marriages end up in divorce - I feel that there is way too much drama and money put into an event where the resulting marriage will probably not last. Seems like a big old waste.
i got too mad to finish the article lol
I want to magically drops these entitled people in a war zone so that they experience real life struggle...
I'd rather have my wedding in the garage with a one tier chocolate cake and hotdogs in pajamas than pull one of these. That kind of wedding actually seems very fun. Everyone I know how I'm gonna do my wedding. Lol I'm joking but serioudly
:( All of these crazy people managed to somehow get engaged and plan a wedding?
What I don't understand is how these kinds of attitudes develop. Were these women all spoiled and indulged their entire lives? How does anyone develop a brain that thinks I want what I want and I should get it because I want it and you MUST give it to me?
Reality is a b!tch. These over-priviledged, self-indulgent, excuses for upcoming brides need a reality check. It's too bad that someone with a brain couldn't get in touch with all the guests, and as the doors open for her walk down the aisle, her venue is devoid of all humans except for immediate family. I am sick of these "destination" weddings too. Oh, you have to spend $10000 for "our" Thailand wedding. That's where you are wrong...it's your wedding, and I am not spending MY money or the rest of my life with you. And I DEFINITELY don't want your "thong"!!!!
Are these for real? How can you ask from anyone though they are ur friends and relatives this amount or that amount? First save enough money for wedding or honeymoon instead of asking people to pay for you.
If you want a big wedding but can't afford it, either save until you can or have a smaller one within your means. If you can't afford a "dream" honeymoon , same. A big wedding and fancy honeymoon is not a right, you are not entitled to something just because you want it. I'm guessing that all of the brides and many of their grooms have far fewer friends and a lot of family members who ghost them after their entitled, cheeky fu#%ery. Greed is not a good look.
Our wedding cost us $1500 all up, everything included. We has 140 guests, food aplenty. My dress was my mother's 1950's wedding dress. The cars were borrowed from friends. My husband and I have been very happily married for 34 years . Our daughter was married in 2018 in simple but very beautiful ceremony in a winery. Our son was married earlier this year, the day after a covid19 lockdown finished. The most expensive thing of the day was the food and that was not very expensive. Our view on weddings is that it's just one day out of the rest of your life together and the rest of your life with your family and friends. DON'T SPOIL THE FOREVER AFTER!
This event is so f*****g important to me! That... I'm not willing to pay for it..... Thus is just like that retarded I love my kids s**t but dont want to pay a babysitter even if I can more then afford it s**t
