There are certain times in all of our lives when it’s understandable to be a little demanding: when planning a wedding, when having a baby, and maybe even when it’s your birthday. But as you’ll soon find out, some people use getting married as an excuse to turn into absolute monsters.
Below, you'll find pics that put some of the worst bridezillas the world has ever seen on blast, as well as an interview with Shay Yellin, Editor in Chief of Bespoke Bride. Be sure to upvote the demands you find most egregious, and if you’re ever planning a wedding of your own, please remember not to burn any bridges on your way to the aisle!

... Human Trash Bag
I remember this on Reddit, the OP cut that awful excuse of a friend out of their life and if I remember correctly, many of their mutual friends were so angry they didn't go either.
“Lose Weight If You Want To Be My Maid Of Honour”
Good on OP for standing up for herself and refusing to attend the wedding. I'll never understand the mindset of brides who put their wedding aesthetic above having those near and dear to them involved in their wedding. When I (hopefully eventually) get married, I couldn't care less what my friends look like as long as they are comfortable, happy and by my side. I'm a wheelchair user and know other wheelchair users who have been refused to be in the wedding party because of being in a wheelchair- if any friend of mine did that they wouldn't be my friend any longer!
Bridezilla Tried Ripping Off Bridesmaids
I’m sure you’re all familiar with the idea of a “bridezilla”. This term was coined by Boston Globe writer Diane White in 1995 when she was writing an article about difficult brides, and the name just stuck. By 2003, a show called Manhattan Brides, which was later renamed Bridezillas, began filming, and they’ve appeared in popular culture ever since. Movies like Bride Wars (2009) depict women planning their weddings as selfish and ruthless, but we all know that most brides-to-be aren’t actually anywhere near that unreasonable. Planning a wedding can be extremely stressful, and it’s understandable to want things to be perfect.
Unfortunately, however, there are some brides out there who seem to have tunnel vision when planning their big days and have no problem steamrolling all of their loved ones along the way. So to learn more about how common it is for brides to become extremely demanding when wedding planning, we reached out to Shay Yellin, Editor in Chief of Bespoke Bride. Bespoke Bride has been voted ‘Best for Bridal’ by Cosmopolitan Magazine and listed as one of the UK’s top 10 wedding blogs, and lucky for us, Shay was happy to answer some of our burning bridal questions.
Holy Smack, A Silent Reception‽
I'll happily give her the silent treatment... what's wrong with brides??
Fiancé Is In A Bridal Group On Facebook And Came Across This One
Never once thought about my wedding as a kid. I really do not get these kind of people.
I thought about it when I was little, and found it very stupid and absolutely something I would never do! Married this year for 20 years 😝

Ah that makes more sense. I was sat thinking "what about happy husband, happy ... " Then I got nothing to ryhme with husband that made any sense.

Hopefully the poor fiancé saw sense and didn't get a second job but saved himself $80k and dumped this selfish woman!
I get the impression that the poor fiance is more like a necessary evil to her to get her dream wedding, like the celery stick in the Bloody Mary or something
I just can't believe this is real. And if it is, this guy should run faster than Bolt from this abomination!
NGL I don't understand people who literally spend a lot of their life dreaming about a wedding day. I get it is a special day but to the point of just having big dreams for a single day seems odd to me.
But why aren't we talking about a culture that puts this in the head of little children??
Disney. It's disney's fault. I even call it the Disney Effect. White horse, white dress, all that kak. It's disney. https://insidethemag...dding-Dress.png

I will never understand why people spenden a fortune on a wedding. I would rather spend this money for a nice vacation and something for the family home.
I used to think about and plan my wedding as a little kid. Then as I got older it turned into me just looking a pictures of beautiful formal dresses not just wedding dresses. Nowadays I'm 35, single and perfectly fine without being in a relationship. However I do still enjoy looking a pretty dresses online for fun
You might enjoy the movie "Mrs. Harris goes to Paris." It's about an English cleaning lady who dreams of having a Christian Dior dress. There were two versions made. The original had Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Harris. I saw that probably twenty years ago. I found the new one a few days ago, can't remember which streaming service. Anyway, I recommend both versions. Some of the situations are different between the two movies, so they each have a different take. Very heartwarming and funny in a sweet way.

Dreaming of a wedding since little…I mean what kind of a childhood did you have?
I imagined being a ballerina, working at Archie comics and flying into space. But here I am.... Kids dream up a lot of things. Doesn't mean they're feasible nor rational.
YOUR day? Are you kidding? What about your fiance? If he's smart, he isn't your fiance any longer. $80,000 for one day ... how sad ... that could put you in a house. Oh wait ... he can just get another job so you can stay at home. Shake your head, woman! A marriage is a partnership, not YOUR day/life.
First of all... don't plan everything all at once if it's time-consuming. Secondly, manage your own time better instead of expecting the person you LOVE allegedly to sacrifice their own time and energy to work more than they already do just so you can play wedding planner princess.
80k! 80 effin K! We spent 10 and I promise it felt like too much. It was great fun though and were still going strong after 20 years. Sounds like she wants a wedding more than a marriage.
80K for a wedding is STUPID!!! they spend that kind of $$$ on the wedding and then gripe and moan about not being able to buy a house, smdh. Priorities ppl
She gave u a fair warning, bud. Run for the hills, don’t stop, don’t look back!!
Every sentence of this post screams "I don't and won't and can't give half a fart about my husband's happiness." $80k of debt for a wedding is pants-on-head stupid.
She started getting toxic after the "He keeps saying we should spend less" part. But up until that, I felt bad for her.
Something tells me this wedding didn't happen. Or it has ended. That little girl needs help.
LOL...fantasy vs reality. Happy wife, happy life...gotta get wife status first. And, frankly, you're an idiot.
Jesus, wtf is wrong with brides thinking its just their wedding. If they want it to be just about themselves then they should marry themselves.
Funny how it's never the groom. You don't suppose it's because men aren't spoiled, unreasonable, emotionally unstable children in adult bodies, do you?
Funny how it's never the groom. Almost like men aren't spoiled, unreasonable children in adult bodies.
10am, Judge at the house, nice suits, two best men, couple close friends and immediate family, brunch on the patio (made by us), later in evening intimate dinner for wedding party at favorite restaurant. Total around $600, perfection for us.
I've never planned a wedding before but exactly how much time normally goes into planning?
IF I ever get marriend I plan to elope and spend the money on something worthwhile. I just can't see paying that much for a wedding.
I feel so bad that in our culture it is normal for little girls to fantasize so heavily about their dream wedding. Sure fantasizing is fine, but it means more to them than the marriage. They want so badly to feel, beautiful, important and special from childhood. It sounds like they are not getting the love they needed and are now seeking it by controlling others.
When I was little I was going to marry Leonardo (the ninja turtle) in a sewer wedding with pizza. I never really thought about it again until I actually got married. (Sadly, my husband is not a ninja turtle, nor did we get married in the sewer.)
A person whose life is defined solely by her wedding is not a person. It's really that simple.
I sincerely hope he called it off before marrying this nut case
Again, your wedding isn't the most important day, the years that follow are.
Of the day is about YOU and YOUR dreams, you don't need a wedding, you need a coming out party, that way you can still wear the dress, but not chain your selfish a**e to some poor innocent man.
Sorry to burst your bubble Sweetie, but the phrase is "happy spouse, happy house".
My wedding was about my husband and me. I told people to come, wear what they want and no gifts needed. It's not that we were rich, quite the opposite we cooked our own food for the wedding. We just wanted to be together with our friends. It was a beautiful day.
"This is MY WEDDING..." Forgive a simple peasant, but doesn't a wedding belong to both spouses?
I would make up a line with happy divorce, but I don’t know anything that rhymes with it
You cannot buy a magical wedding. You can only buy a show. The overall cost of my wedding was maybe 5 to 6 k. For everything! Food, a dress, his clothes, a cake, everything. It was magical. My dress cost 400 bucks and was beautiful. It was cheap because it was last season's wear that originally sold for more than 2k. My cake was made by my aunt. It had two barn owls on it (long time before HP, but barn owls mate for life that's why) I had a chariot with two horses, a gift from the local brewery who also stocked the bar. We rented a community house with an industrial kitchen and two cooks from my fathers workplace's canteen. They cooked a splendid meal and their wifes served it. My sister and SIL (my brother's wife) and my niece decorated the revenue, the chariot and the tables with wildflowers, ivy and some glass beads. My grandmother gave her good linen and china for the tables. The dishes where two different sets for 60ish people but we combined them nicely
But what made it truly magical was my husband and the deep love and affection I felt for him and the happiness of the day. I still like to look at the pictures. We were radiant with happiness. This bride will never have a magical wedding, because it's clear she loves appearances more than her spouse. She doesn't want to marry, she wants her show. It doesn't matter how much she pais. It will never be perfect, because the most important ingredient is missing from the start: wanting to marry exactly this one person to spend the rest of life together.

Bro Needs To Find A New Bride
Im having a 10 year birthday just for my dreads next year just to get back at all the haters!
According to Shay, it’s extremely common for brides to be particular when wedding planning. “Many of the brides we've worked with at Bespoke Bride were extremely demanding,” she told Bored Panda. “We actually think it's quite normal and reasonable for brides to become unreasonably demanding. Let's face it, it's the BIGGEST day in life for many brides. They have very specific dreams of how this day will look, so if it's not perfect - they can easily get unreasonable.”
We also asked Shay if she could share any experiences of working with particularly difficult brides. “On our Bespoke Bride shop - we sell lots of DIY wedding accessories that can easily be downloaded and printed at home,” she told Bored Panda. “These are very affordable items ranging from $4 to $6. Once we had a client bride that wanted us to re-design the entire item according to her very specific demands. We tried to help and do a few edits, but the more we did, the more she wanted us to edit again. We did a LOT of work for $6!”

Bride Cancels Her Wedding Because Her Guests Didn't "Donate" A $1,500 Each To Fund The Event
I need to get away from a society where people feel entitled to other's money because they 'need' to throw a lavish wedding. It is a party. If you're getting married so that you can have an Insta perfect party and not because you and your partner want to celebrate your love with your closest friends and family DON'T GET MARRIED!
When it comes to dealing with challenging brides, Shay says, “You have to be extremely calm and supportive of ‘unreasonable’ brides, even if it's tough and can sometimes make you sick. When you understand the basic psychology behind it - that this is the BIGGEST day in their lives, it makes it easier to deal with. If there are items or things that you really cannot provide - you must come up with a smart answer that details all the reasons why you cannot provide them with the item or service. And most importantly - do it diplomatically, with lots of ‘I'm so sorry!’”
I Mean... Sounds Kinda Like A Racist/Colorist Bride Here. Thoughts?

An update from Reddit from someone who saw the original post on Facebook: "She actually goes on to comment that people DID send this to her fiance, she said she was hacked, he bought her story about being hacked, and he was "currently making [her] some eggs" as an apology for believing it was her in the first place. Talk about manipulative & crazy. This poor child." I truly hope that delusional man finally saw her true colours before the wedding (how was she going to explain after that that she actually didn't want the daughter at the wedding?) and realised she wasn't hacked and did write it.
Op Is Getting Thrashed In The Comments
Shay also provided some words of wisdom for brides who are in over their heads when wedding planning. “We totally get the brides who become overwhelmed with stress when planning their weddings, even the most ‘unreasonable’ brides,” she says. “We know how stressful it can get, but you need to always look at the other side as well. Wedding vendors will do their utmost to provide you with your wish, but it's not always possible to get EXACTLY what you want. You need to accept that and find creative ways to change your dream just a little bit.”

Cb Bride
Why are so many woman so fixated on this matching everybody look and vision of this wedding. I get wanting to have a lovely wedding and everyone looking their best, but so many of these brides seem to have forgotten that the wedding is one day and the marriage is so much more important. Also lol at the bride being shocked that all the 7.5" heels look like hooker shoes, what did she expect?!
This isn’t the first time we’ve covered brides with extreme demands here at Bored Panda, so we looked back at a previous interview with Amber Peterson, Community Manager of Planner’s Lounge, to gain more insight on the topic. When it comes to what brides are allowed to ask of their guests, Amber says, “I think brides can ask whatever they want from their guests, but do not be surprised if that means they opt out of your celebration. Asking for a specific colored attire might mean that guests have to buy something they will never wear again, and for some people, dressing in a way that makes them feel bad about their appearance.”
Looks Before Friends Always Offends
Again how come that girls get the idea that this day is about aesthetics? And that the day is only about you? That is just so not the point. And you are going to be so unhappy when you think that. Because there will always be something that goes wrong. There will always be someone complaining about something. A wedding is about a happy day for everyone attending..
Stolen Off Facebook But Though It Applied Here
Found This Bridezilla On Facebook. It Was Someone Who Had Been Trying To Get Along With The New Bride Because She Is Friends With Her Fiancé, But This Was The Last Straw:
I would call her bluff and send this to her fiancé and ask if it's true as I bet he has no idea bride is being so rude to one of this friends! The poor woman isn't even in the bridal party and she wants her to change her hair colour and hide tattoos or she doesn't love the couple. Some people really do go on a power trip when they get married!
In reference to a bride who wanted all of her wedding guests to wear the color yellow and stay silent, Amber previously told Bored Panda, “Some couples don’t care if their guests look bad, but they will be in your wedding pictures for the rest of your life, so I would prefer that everyone looked and felt their best! Dictating how loud they can speak is not only unrealistic, but insulting! Most people know how to behave at a wedding, and if there are specific guests you are concerned about acting out, maybe do not invite those guests.”
Cb Bride Uninvites Guest For Not Producing Free Centerpieces
Guest has saved herself heartache there as I guarantee even if she had have been given adequate time to make them, she would be paid for that mountain of work as it's "just wood and paint, probably only cost a few £'s!" Those choosy beggar types never take artists time and materials into proper account!

She Wants A Deposit From Her Bridesmaids
“While the wedding is about the commitment you are making to one another, it is also about the gathering of your friends and family, and you should consider their fun and comfort,” Amber went on to explain. “Your wedding is only one day, and you do not want to make the people you love miserable in order to celebrate with you and your partner. If you are unbearable during your wedding, people will remember that for YEARS to come. Be considerate.”

Amber also says it’s important to keep your guests in mind when wedding-planning. “A wedding is a large-scale party you are hosting to celebrate your love, and your guests are invited to celebrate with you. Guests should be treated with the same respect and love you expect them to give to you as the engaged couple,” she noted. “This means making sure they are having fun, and are comfortable and at ease. This is the first event you are hosting as a married couple, so be gracious and welcoming!”

Bridezillas Beware, You Are Not Safe From Being Virtually Murdered
Jeez, anyone got the cousin's email address so all the money and flowers can be sent to her instead? I went to a wedding three months after having our first child and I was like a deer in the headlights. My life was upside down, my emotions were upside down and my body was still gigantic. But I loved my belly because I was still processing the fact my tiny baby was not in there any more but outside in the world, where she needs everyone's protection, not just mine. I wasn't ready to be in big groups of people at that point but I am proud of myself for making it at all. I hope the cousin steers clear and focuses on herself and her baby and kicks this piece of trash family member to the kerb permanently.

What strikes me most is the ‘It’s my day so I’m allowed to be this selfish’. 1. These people are selfish by nature - and suppressing it for the rest of their lives? Don’t think so. 2. Do these people not have family, friends and SO’s that can have a stern word? Or are they all caught up in the same nonsense?
Probably learned not to say anything because the bridezilla goes nuclear if anyone dares to contradict them or call them out on their sh*t. Sadly, it happens a lot.

What is up with this "I've dreamed about this day since I was a little girl" thing? Do these women have so little going on in their lives that all they had to look forward to was a wedding? Is the groom just a prop in their fantasy? I don't remember ever having had wedding fantasies when I was a girl. ___ Maybe this is a business idea for someone. Stage perfect weddings for those who have always dreamed of having one. Hire perfectly matched attendants and guests. The future spouse is also hired on the basis of physical perfection. Of course it's not a legal wedding in any sense of the word, but the person buying this service gets the perfect wedding they've always dreamed of, with no pesky real-life people to disrupt it.

I want to say there is a study that related wedding costs with divorce rates and the higher the costs, the likelier a divorce. But I could just be imagining that (too lazy and tired to google it).
Load More Replies... I had a lovely drama-free wedding some years ago but I have to say, there are some things about weddings I really don't like. There is often pressure from family and friends to invite lots of people and to spend a fortune on what everyone expects to be a huge party. In reality the money would often be much better spent on a quiet ceremony and a payment on a house. Weddings are also incredibly nerve-racking for many - it's one of the most important days in people's lives and they're being closely watched by lots of people, something that many don't like and very few are used to. In those circumstances, I don't blame brides or grooms for going a bit crazy, although there is of course a limit.
We need to seriously stop this ”my wedding day is special" stupid sh*t. No, your wedding day is not special! There is only one day that is special in your life and that's your birth day, because there is no do over and you'll never be physically born twice. That's it. That's the only special day. So drop this stupid wedding-day-special nonsense. Just how insecure are you to have to make everyone to make you feel special?!
I've never understood the whole 'I've been dreaming of my wedding since I was a little girl'. So you basically have planned your entire life around one day? I don't get the hype of weddings to begin with, I never had one, it seemed like too much for one day so I eloped. But for others, it becomes their entire personality!
I just couldn't read past #17. Too many ugly stories about ugly Bridezillas.
I was a concierge at a country house hotel and in my time there I was involved in hundreds of weddings, I used to look after the wedding couples on the day and help co-ordinate stuff for them. These stories are the tip of the iceberg, the ridiculous levels of entitlement are shocking, the lack of focus on love and being alongside your loved ones is saddening (a perfect wedding photo contains as many of your loved ones as you want and their colour, shape, size, hair, makeup etc is irrelevant, it’s about people and being together not the ‘aesthetic’ ok?), and 20 guests who love you are more valuable than 200 who you spend thousands on in order to impress them. PS our best wedding had a 7 year old as Best Man (son of the Groom), he refused to wear his suit, the couple were completely at ease with him wearing his favourite Spider-Man PJs and the whole wedding embraced the enjoyment, it’s about love, family, and enjoying the day ok? Ok.
I find it crazy because who sits around and looks at their wedding pictures all the time? I've looked at our album maybe twice in 21 years and we don't even have any pictures displayed anymore. I did have one of the two of us up for a few years, but then it was changed out for travel photos. LOL!
Load More Replies... 22 years ago, we had a total of 10 in the room for our wedding, so 7 guests, us, and the minister. It was low-key, everyone wore what they wanted, I had to dash across the room half way through the ceremony to turn off the music at the end of the song, my food came later than everyone else's. Everyone smiled, everyone danced, and we're still happily married. The end.
All these "it's about me" and "my day" brides seem to have forgotten there is also a partner to consider If it weren't for their SO. there wouldn't be any reason for a wedding.
Wow so many pple take their weddingday far too serious. And all this c**p about " it is about me" What is wrong with them?
I had to stop reading halfway, too much entitled stupidity on display.
It strikes me that these brides act as if they're making a movie about a wedding rather than a real wedding. Also, they expect the cast to finance their vision...
I can’t believe there are people around like this. Is this the new norm? No wonder teachers are now getting extra training to deal with disruptive students because hey, these people are going to s****y selfish parents.
No it's not the norm. Keep in mind that only the rare extreme examples make it onto internet discussion forums. Some of these have been making the rounds for years.

Some of these cannot possibly be real, can they? I know excrement of an excuse for humans exist but some of these are unbelievable. The entitlement is off of the scale. Just imagine the success rate of their marriages.
I want to say there is a study that related wedding costs with divorce rates and the higher the costs, the likelier a divorce. But I could just be imagining that (too lazy and tired to google it).

There is often pressure from family and friends to invite lots of people and to spend a fortune on what everyone expects to be a huge party. In reality the money would often be much better spent on a quiet ceremony and a payment on a house. Weddings are also incredibly nerve-racking for many - it's one of the most important days in people's lives and they're being closely watched by lots of people, something that many don't like and very few are used to. In those circumstances, I don't blame brides or grooms for going a bit crazy, although there is of course a limit.
We need to seriously stop this ”my wedding day is special" stupid sh*t. No, your wedding day is not special! There is only one day that is special in your life and that's your birth day, because there is no do over and you'll never be physically born twice. That's it. That's the only special day. So drop this stupid wedding-day-special nonsense. Just how insecure are you to have to make everyone to make you feel special?!
I've never understood the whole 'I've been dreaming of my wedding since I was a little girl'. So you basically have planned your entire life around one day? I don't get the hype of weddings to begin with, I never had one, it seemed like too much for one day so I eloped. But for others, it becomes their entire personality!
I just couldn't read past #17. Too many ugly stories about ugly Bridezillas.
I was a concierge at a country house hotel and in my time there I was involved in hundreds of weddings, I used to look after the wedding couples on the day and help co-ordinate stuff for them. These stories are the tip of the iceberg, the ridiculous levels of entitlement are shocking, the lack of focus on love and being alongside your loved ones is saddening (a perfect wedding photo contains as many of your loved ones as you want and their colour, shape, size, hair, makeup etc is irrelevant, it’s about people and being together not the ‘aesthetic’ ok?), and 20 guests who love you are more valuable than 200 who you spend thousands on in order to impress them. PS our best wedding had a 7 year old as Best Man (son of the Groom), he refused to wear his suit, the couple were completely at ease with him wearing his favourite Spider-Man PJs and the whole wedding embraced the enjoyment, it’s about love, family, and enjoying the day ok? Ok.
I find it crazy because who sits around and looks at their wedding pictures all the time? I've looked at our album maybe twice in 21 years and we don't even have any pictures displayed anymore. I did have one of the two of us up for a few years, but then it was changed out for travel photos. LOL!

It was low-key, everyone wore what they wanted, I had to dash across the room half way through the ceremony to turn off the music at the end of the song, my food came later than everyone else's. Everyone smiled, everyone danced, and we're still happily married. The end.
All these "it's about me" and "my day" brides seem to have forgotten there is also a partner to consider If it weren't for their SO. there wouldn't be any reason for a wedding.
Wow so many pple take their weddingday far too serious. And all this c**p about " it is about me" What is wrong with them?
I had to stop reading halfway, too much entitled stupidity on display.
It strikes me that these brides act as if they're making a movie about a wedding rather than a real wedding. Also, they expect the cast to finance their vision...
I can’t believe there are people around like this. Is this the new norm? No wonder teachers are now getting extra training to deal with disruptive students because hey, these people are going to s****y selfish parents.
No it's not the norm. Keep in mind that only the rare extreme examples make it onto internet discussion forums. Some of these have been making the rounds for years.
Load More Replies... These are the extreme examples that make it onto online forums, hardly the norm. Also, men can be just as selfish and self-centred, just not with weddings.
