30 Soon-To-Be Married People Exposed For Their Sense Of Entitlement (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertEvery bride and groom wants a perfect wedding. It ideally only happens once in a lifetime, and wanting the event to turn out exactly how they envisioned it is understandable.
However, some would step on other people’s toes just to let things fall into place, which is unacceptable. Thankfully, we have the internet to expose such entitled behavior.
Scroll through to find screenshots showing ridiculous requirements, self-serving actions that put other guests in potential danger, and monetary gift requests to fund a honeymoon. Hopefully, you have never experienced any of these.

This Literally Just Happened - "I Want My Own Wedding Year"
YOU GET ONE DAY. ONE. NOT THE WHOLE YEAR.
“Lose Weight If You Want To Be My Maid Of Honour”
Wedding planners like Kaitlin regularly deal with demanding clients. As she told Bored Panda, such behavior usually comes from people close to the couple, like parents, siblings, and entourage members. They usually have unwelcome opinions, which Kaitlin says frustrates the couple and makes them feel stifled.
“Your wedding opinions will absolutely matter when planning your own wedding, but when your job is to support another bride or groom, kindly put those opinions to the side,” she said.
Just When You Think The Bridezilla Requests Can't Get Any More Ridiculous
I'm a maid of honor in my friends wedding. She goes by her middle name which is Rachel... My first name is Rachel. I am honestly unsure how to answer. Like ma'am I'm not changing my name for your wedding.
Not Invited To The Wedding, But Still Pay For It

If you have to quit your job to plan your wedding, your wedding is out of control. Edit: I wrote this before I go to the $80,000 part. Yeah, way out of control
Wedding ceremonies are monumental life events, and Katilin says its magnitude is likely why people can act unreasonably. However, you can prevent such tense moments from arising, and here’s her advice.
“Have plans in place for everything, so that if someone tries to throw a wrench in the works, you have a backup,” Kaitlin said.

Like people in customer service, handling difficult people is part of the job description of being a wedding planner. Kaitlin has her own method of handling these personalities: setting clear boundaries.
“Their own personal drama is NOT your personal drama, even if they try to make it so,” she explained. You can care deeply without sacrificing your sanity for what, at the end of the day, is still a job.”

Entitled Bride To Be
Let’s hope your finance comes to his senses & dumps your cruel, shallow a*s.
For many people, living in the internet age means wanting to look good for the ‘gram. Because of this, Carson says people are now heavily focused on turning their weddings into fashion events.
As he points out, some guests may feel hassled by outfit requirements, adding to the already hefty cost of attending a wedding. Therefore, brides and grooms should expect some attendees to “go rogue” and ignore the guidelines.

How Dare Someone Be Pregnant At My Wedding!! I Understand Not Wanting To Host Events, But The Anger At Grandparents Buying Gifts And The Me!!!! Attitude Is So Entitled
Wow, one where both parties are being sort of awful because the mom to be (nothing wrong with being pregnant as it’s her freaking life and choice) tells the woman to host two events for her? It’s like dueling narcissists. How are people this self involved with no awareness of boundaries?
We’d like to hear from you, readers. Have you experienced entitled behaviors from brides and grooms? How did you handle them? Share your stories in the comments!

Setting unrealistic expectations could be a sign of pre-wedding stress. It’s likely a result of the hyperfocus on making things “perfect” and running according to plan. According to psychologist Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman, managing expectations could relieve stress.
In an interview with Brides, Dr. Sherman suggests aiming for excellence rather than perfection to help manage expectations

You may read screenshots of people posting their Venmo accounts as a request for a cash gift. A 2023 registry study by The Knot revealed that 74% of wedding registry creators prefer to receive money from guests instead of traditional utensils and other home starters.
Some couples use the cash to fund their honeymoons or shoulder expenses for their first homes.

This Is As Tacky As It Gets.... Not Even A "Buy The Bride A Drink" Just $$$ Pls
I always wonder if these things are intended for the wedding guests and just haven't been erased yet or are targeting randos? Tacky either way, but the former seems far less bad IMHO
Not As Bad As Some, But Definitely Up There
Re: "No Apple watches" What's your policy on longcase clocks?
According to events director Bryce Carson, this trend has occurred over the past decade. But as he told Fortune in an interview, it isn’t always a cash grab.
“Couples are getting married a little bit older in life. They’re already combining their homes,” he explained. “They do not need two sets of everything.”
How Dare Someone Else Get Married During A Covid Bride’s Wedding Year!!!
Some years ago, it was *my* day; now, it's *my* year. Soon, this flock of imbeciles will demand *my* decade. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is this trend is growing because people are paying too much attention to their invented dramas. If we just told them to f-off the moment they start with their unhinged demands, they would stop. No, I couldn't care less about your wedding, your dress or what colour you sister in law's dress is. Nobody cares. Really. We couldn't care less.

I don't get the problem. They want a formal event and are simply asking for the money instead of physical gifts they don't need or won't use; they're not even asking for an absurd minimum amount.
Anyone who thinks these aren’t real has never worked with the public.
Load More Replies...I'd far rather have a perfect marriage than a perfect wedding, and save up money for a house deposit rather than spending a bomb on just one day.
Since we've moved on from when men and women didn't leave home until they married, and only he worked, I'm amazed that weddings still appear to be so important for people. We spent £120 on ours. I would have thought that the younger generation weren't so obsessed with showing off that they've bagged a husband...and they moan about not having enough money to buy a house, but spend 25k or more on a party. Absurd.
