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.
Wedding Shoot
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.

Bride Tries To Force Friend To Do Photography For Her Wedding, Insists That He Pays Her For The Privilege
I interpreted this to mean that they said they'd pay but had no intention of doing so. Or do you mean the original giving in and offering to do it free? Yeah, probably a mistake. But I understand the motivation - if all your mutual friends are siding with the other person that you might just give in. Terrible mutual friends though.

Where are these people? I'm gonna need something bigger than my taser.
I would go to the police and file for harassment, and show all the messages and phone calls as proof. I don't care if it's her wedding day or her resurrection day, something has to be done. All these bridezillas are so self-absorbed, they think the world revolves around them.
"never had any intention of showing up" BRAVO! GREAT way to fk with the douche bags
So the difference of a wedding being ruined or not are just 50 buck? Huh.
I am seriously tired of people. Not only in situations like this, but also like marital problems, child-raising, and so on. SOOOOO many people run to their families and friends and rant about it and drag them into other people's s**tshow. Grow the eff up!
Call the popo. And I don't blame this person. I'd have said yes and never showed just to shut them up. But that would have been a far behind second to calling the police.
If the bride has texts or anything written agreeing to do it, this person could be sued!
Who are the people harassing the photographer? Are they prisoners, or just trying to share the misery?
If her guest are supposed to buy photos, and her guests are badgering the photographer, why don't they just PAY HIM, and get the whole problem solved?
You’re fault for continuing to even converse with the bitch after day one.
The photographer should show up and post all the text messages that were sent to him and tell the wedding party that he will NOT take any pictures!
Be lik'n your response. Not easy to be poor and worse yet to make others poor
Hope this person didn't show up. What in the f**k is wrong with people? It's a wedding. Boo hoo.
Just say yes and don't shoot anything! This way they have no photographer at all
Scottish law is pretty much exactly the same as UK law (Scotland is in the UK) and a verbal contract is not a contract. It wouldn't stand in a court of law
Verbal contracts is the same in most countries. On the other hand, full on harassing someone into to the point where they are left with no other choice than to accept the job isn't really legal either.

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.

Bride Is Pissed Her Bridesmaid Has The Wrong Color Toenail Polish, Gets Super Defensive In The Comments
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.

Having your dream wedding planned since you were a kid does not validate fat shaming. There is no justification for it under any circumstance. It is rude. It is insensitive. And it most certainly is offensive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

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

I will never understand how these women are even capable of finding husbands
I will never understand how these men don't run after seeing this kind of behavior either.

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.
People, not just women and not just the people getting married.

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
hmmm, do i detect a past bridezilla commenting? you know, you can always NOT click on these and NOT read them...
