30 Posts Of Entitled Brides And Grooms To Mentally Prepare You For This Wedding Season
Interview With ExpertThere are a million different ways to have a wedding these days. If the bride and groom choose to have a simple courthouse affair while wearing casual clothes, that’s perfectly fine. And if another couple decides to have a destination wedding in another country with 100 guests, well, that might be a nightmare to plan. But they are entitled to throw the wedding of their dreams!
What brides and grooms are not entitled to, however, is treating their loved ones like trash in an attempt to have a "perfect" wedding. Below, you’ll find some screenshots of messages, posts and more featuring engaged individuals who got called out for their selfish behavior online. Enjoy scrolling through these pics that seem almost too ridiculous to be real, and keep reading to find a conversation with wedding expert Jhona Yellin, Editor at Bespoke Bride!

Vegan Bride Bans All Omnivore Guests From Wedding
My husband belongs to a vegetarian family (religious reasons). When we got married the buffet had a seperate section for vegetarians so that there is no mixing of even the utensils. And we did it for 600 people. There were zero complaints. It is possible to manage if planned properly.
Ironic isn't it? Some vegans treat it more like a religion than most religions, evangelising and insisting that all non-believers are doomed and damned. I hope these people enjoyed their solitary wedding.
Load More Replies...Missed a chance to serve vegan meal only and broaden some people's horizon.
Yes. That would be what I'd do. I wouldn't uninvite meat eating people, just those that complain about one day - my win, if their addiction is too strong...
Load More Replies...I remember an article on here before about this. The bride acted like she was in a cult, it was nuts.
You can have all vegan food and still invite people who are not vegan. Just let them know beforehand.
Several of the youngsters in my family went through the vegan phase. Funny how it never applies to alcohol.
Well, alcohol is almost always plant-based. I can't even think of one that isn't. Can anyone? (genuinely curious)

We have a common saying here in Australia that would be a suitable reply: "get f*cked".

The only acceptable response to that which doesn't include swearing is "Bahahahaha! No."
Your obligation to this woman ended when she cancelled the contract.
Being a bride is often associated with innocence and wholesomeness. Wearing a white dress can be symbolic of a bride’s purity, and in many cultures, it has traditionally been assumed that the bride and groom are young, perhaps even naive, individuals finally entering the next stage of adulthood by tying the knot.
Today, however, these beliefs seem pretty outdated. Nowadays, brides and grooms can wear whatever their hearts desire at their weddings, and there’s rarely an expectation that they need to be young and “pure.” In fact, some have gone so far in the other direction that they've turned into rude, selfish and entitled brides and grooms-to-be. And unfortunately, it seems that many people have experience with couples who seem to throw their manners out the window after getting engaged.
The Couple This Vendor Complained About Just Straight-Up Had An Unauthorized Reception At A Local Business Without Even Thinking About The Workers Or The Other Patrons
should have called the cops. without arrangements made in advance that can surely be seen as obstruction of business or something.
I would have put out a message on the local FB page "Free brioche for children today" and let nature run her own course...
I would have put all the coffee machines running on the "steaming" function for an hour straight, so all their make-up and hair would get messed up and they'd leave! F**k rude people!
Bloody hell! I expect that a massive percentage of the wedding party had no idea it hadn't been booked let alone paid for! The place did well to post about it but should have refused them once they knew what was going on. Or billed Very high for the unexpected work, lost custom and trouble they were put to
This taking over of a cafe or other venue for a cheap option for a wedding is becoming more common. I'd call the police and have these entitled jerks removed from the property - it's probably a fire safety violation too!
Bride Wants To Know If It's Alright To Take Away Their Mother's Individuality
I'd like to tell the bride what she can do with her thumb.
Load More Replies...Yes. Yes it is wrong. Are you expecting everyone to be wearing a big white dress too? You know, so they'd match?
I really don't get all the people around enabling this lousy behaviour just cause they are getting married?
I am so tired of these posts with these brides demanding these stupid rules. I hope she doesn't come and then the next time you really need her, she refuses your request because her hair isn't the right color. What selfish ignorant kind of a person are you?
Brides don't get to demand that everyone at their wedding "match." They're guests, not props.
Bride Wants Bridesmaid To Cut Her Hair
I have 1.20m long hair, if someone told me to cut it for their wedding I'd cut that person out of my life instead.
Load More Replies...Your bridal party are not props, they are people you are supposed to love and want beside you.
Yes, you are. No one has any right to decide on others persons body don't u see the irony on it? One thing is ask to have all same hairstyle, shape or hairpins. Cutting it or coloring it... horrible.
I love how the bride thinks it's a totally reasonable request. 🤦 maybe you've grown your hair for five years and she thinks it's perfectly reasonable for you to cut it so her pictures looks symmetrical and then you can just grow it out again. 🤷 Just five more years until you get your look back, but atleast she got symmetrical pictures for her wedding album.
Load More Replies...What I read was: 'I'm bossing my friends around and telling them what they can and can't do. Also, I told her to cut off her hair because it's MY day. Now she's mad. AITA?' Lmao.
If the audience is going to fixed on a bridesmaid's hair length and not the bride, this wedding had much bigger issues to address.
To learn more about this bad behavior that many brides and grooms are guilty of exhibiting, we reached out to Jhona Yellin, Editor at Bespoke Bride, to hear her thoughts on the topic. First, we wanted to know if it’s expected for brides and grooms to have some level of entitlement when planning their big days.
“Now, it's perfectly natural for couples to have a vision for their big day, to want everything just as they envision it in their minds,” Jhona told Bored Panda. “But, where do we draw the line between reasonable requests and over-the-top demands? Well, a bridezilla demanding her bridesmaids all dye their hair to match the wedding color scheme. Is it a touch eccentric? Perhaps. But is it downright unreasonable? Absolutely.”
Bride Cancels Her Wedding Because Her Guests Didn't "Donate" A $1,500 Each To Fund The Event
Was this the woman from Canada that wanted to "live like a Cardashian for 'just one day'"? If it is, you really should see the whole letter. It's sooooo unbelievable. Google it. You won't be disappointed. so you really need to see the whole letter.

She's probably an MLM star because only in a Ponzi scheme this can work --- if the population doesn't increase dramatically and guest numbers stay similar then you will get invited to about as many weddings as you attend, so what you spend on gifts to others == what you receive at yours. (As some attendees never marry, you make more and they lose out.)
Greedy A** Rude Bride. I’d Be Cancelling That Cheque Too

Load More Replies...How is this even an AITA situation? The bride called them a-holes before even getting the gift. Although why would she have to stop payment on a check that wasn't given to the recipient? All she had to do is open it up, tell her what it was for & the amount, and simply rip it up in front of her or even better burning it with a candle if one was handy. Of course, making sure everyone knows exactly what the bride wouldn't be getting & why she wouldn't be getting it.
She needed to stop payment because the bridezilla yanked the box out of the poster's hands, thus had the check in her possession, according to the linked Reddit post.
Load More Replies...Even accounting for the high emotions of the day, this girl has no manners and no couth. I would be fine with just cutting her loose.
I enjoy how OP notes that she and her husband share pettiness as a common characteristic.
I Wish I Had The Nerve To Do This!!

Load More Replies...Actually, taking one shower on your wedding day should suffice (just kidding, I know).
This happens when you have literally nothing else to do in your life. When the goal is 'wedding day' not a marriage.
Hahhahah, ballsy as hell! I would be tempted to get them dollhouse furniture for each room with the dollhouse as the wedding present. Have some other folks coordinate efforts and really have fun with it!
Surely a divorce shower is prebooked. Although by now it's more of a flood.
Each they're separate events with their own register for each.
Load More Replies...To quote Charlotte Dobre, "my flabbers are gasted." What the heck is... I mean... wuh... I... NO. Any bets on what her parents think of the multiple showers (...also, a "tool shower"??)?
What is a difference between engagement party and wedding shower? I only knew of baby shower, didn't know wedding shower was a thing, and on top of that engagement party and bachelor's/bachelorette? And the wedding? And all of these require gifts I presume..? Money aside, ain't nobody got time for that :O
The wedding shower was traditionally for the bride. She would be gifted household items such as small kitchen appliances, dishes, stuff like that. The bridal shower was also traditionally just women, friends and family of the bride and groom. In the last half-century or so, bachelorette parties have become a thing, where the bridesmaids celebrate with the bride in the same idiotic ways that the groomsmen do with the groom at the bachelor party. Lately, these have gotten bigger and more stupid.
Load More Replies...We also asked the expert if she had any advice for brides and grooms who have become a bit too controlling when planning their weddings. “We usually call it the bridal illusion of control,” Jhona noted. “Sure, you can try to micromanage every aspect, from the dress code to the flower arrangements, but at the end of the day, something's bound to slip through the cracks.”
Bride Made A Profit On Bachelorette Trip!! (Sil Drama)
Please drop out. Do not put yourself on fire to keep her warm. (I just learned this comment on Reddit and I think it is fitting here)
The bride is right - be more confident in yourself. And so, tell her to f**k off.
I would have refused point blank to wear such a repulsive sounding dress. These styles can be lovely but they can Also be incredibly tarty. Different body shapes suit different styles of clothing. How horrible for the OP
Wow that is horrible! I picked the color and told my girls to find a dress they like in that color. One of the girls even made her dress and it was beautiful!
Same. I asked them to wear a black dress that they would be able to wear an antique gold bracelet with, because their bridesmaids gifts were charms bracelets with the same charm for the wedding but then some individualized ones that were meaningful to my friendship history with them. They got together and decided to wear the same shoes, which I didn't notice until they showed me at the reception
Load More Replies...Two suggestions that I hope your bride will listen to: option 1--each girl has a different style dress, but they're all the same color; option 2--different dresses, but they're in a similar color scheme, like jewel tones or pastel. I did this one for my wedding, and my girls looked great. They coordinated the colors with each other and submitted the dresses for approval before purchasing/making them
You have to click on the link. There are a lot more updates and it's worth to read.
That turned out more insane than I could have imaged. omg.
Load More Replies...So parading as a cheap pick me up girl isn't ruining the wedding? Nor degrading OP? I'm a big girl too and I would rather.go in my birthday suit. At least I would be able to move...
I have seen support wear in the form of a ballet leotard. Alternatively, I have seen light pieces (like a bathing suit cover up) that are meant for a light wrap that would work. Both would camouflage the horrible dress and make you sorta match. Or just drop out. Or just wear what you want and leave the ball in her court!
No, probably means a thin piece of cloth that keeps up the centre of the front and only goes around the neck. Nothing over that shoulders an nothing covering the back above waist hight.

Just a wild stab in the dark here, but you wouldn't happen to be an influencer would you?
Erm...actually...just a wild guess here(jk), but the photographers should charge you.
"Charge each photographer a small rate to shoot!" Appealing, but not with a camera.
“Our advice? Embrace the chaos. Let go of the reins (just a tad) and allow a bit of spontaneity to seep into your special day,” the wedding expert shared. “Trust me, it'll make for a much more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.”
“We actually wrote a piece a while back about how it's okay to tell your guests what to wear to your wedding when, with various scenarios where it's perfectly acceptable to let your guests know that there's a specific dress code,” Jhona added.

Jhona also noted that, despite what you might believe, there is hope for even the most entitled of brides and grooms. “It all boils down to one magical word: compromise. Yes, that's right – the art of give and take,” she says. “Also, we always recommend that brides and grooms prioritize together. Sit down together and prioritize what aspects of the wedding are most important to each of you.”
I Mean... Sounds Kinda Like A Racist/Colorist Bride Here. Thoughts?
Everyone knows people with darker skin look amazing in yellow, she doesn’t want to be upstaged, and also the bride is a racist twat.
For real I've seen a photo of a black mannequin (or is it "model" ? English isn't my first language please correct me if I'm wrong) wearing a golden ball gown and I was like 😳 it was WOW
Load More Replies...What a racist büllshit, people with dark skin look great in yellow! It wonderfully contrasts with the skin tone to make the color pop. Much better than in my case, I'm pale as a sheet. I look like a tube of mayonnaise when I wear yellow.
Yup not only racist but a jealous twat. She’s not a friend, f*ck her.
Oh, be confident. I am a pale person and can't wear any shade of yellow. People with darker tones really rock in yellow. I am envious. And, it sounds like the bride is, too.
Bride N Groom Requests No Perfume On The Women And The Men Are Free Labour, On Top Of Paying $360 A Head
I mean people DO pay to go to weddings, just not normally a blatant fee like that. I'd be curious whether they expected no gifts and the $360 is purely so it's a zero cost wedding, or whether they still expecting gifts and they're actually hoping to turn a profit. As for the setting up bit, *asking* if anyone is willing to help setup is fine, but demanding it? Especially after making people pay... LOL!
Load More Replies...Technically there are black flowers so everyone should just show up naked 🤣
Load More Replies...Just decline. Unless you are really close to the person getting married, all this is not worth.
I would request no perfumes for my wedding but because my brother and me are allergic. I become short of breath and he breaks out in hives (even if someone else is wearing a hypoallergenic one). It's fun walking us two in front of a perfumery with an open door, just ask my niece.
There are no colours that are not floral. Every colour you find, you can find a matching flower, although the shades might be different. How dumb is this bride?
Insanely entitled. Also people attending a wedding would be in their best clothes, who does diy in their best suit? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Hah! We could have a nice, romantic holiday alone for that kind of money! Stay home.
I Thought This Was A Troll Post But There Were Actual Real People In The Comments Agreeing With The Bride!
How can I answer this in a way that doesn't make you sound like a disgusting cretin? Oh, I know: yes, you are wrong.
Why do so many people envision their wedding from childhood on? That's what I wonder about the most. When I was a little girl I thought about dinosaurs, unicorns and robots, not weddings.
Load More Replies...Here's the problem with this: "I've been envisaging my wedding from (childhood)". I'm trying to be delicate here so that it doesn't come off as sexist, but this should not be a socially acceptable thing for brides to say. This future bride's inability to separate fantasy from reality is a huge problem. When I was a boy, I wanted a bear that could talk to be my friend. As an adult, I realise that a bear would more likely maul me than agree to be part of my fantasy life. For clarity, a bride having an idea of what she wants at her wedding is entirely reasonable, but that vision has to include things you did not envisage - brother-in-laws with medical conditions, weather not being what you'd hoped, whatever other million reasons could crop up. If you are celebrating love in a loving and caring family, none of these things will matter. Look forward to building a beautiful, imperfect life and stop micro-managing what everyone wears or looks like.
Exactly! If your childhood dream didn't change even one bit to include the person you are marrying and their dreams then it is just selfish. She is literally saying that her past dream is more important than her future husband.
Load More Replies...Wide legged pants are a thing, in a pinch you can get those loose workout pants they use for karate etc in a nice black, it does not have to be jeans, surely jeans would be more problematic?
Yup, i was just going to comment that lots of other pants come in black (or other colors). I've seen so many colors of jeans. One could also alter the pants to accommodate the larger foot
Load More Replies...From what I've heard in these comments, jeans are uncomfortable with people with that condition. I personally think they are both in the wrong. The bride for over-reacting and the brother for not wanting to, for example, tailor bigger pants or wearing different pants that fit and that are more of a uniform look, instead of wearing jeans. Also, FYI to the people who will probably downvote this because of my opinion, it's happened to others, it's an opinion. Opinions can be different. Stop slamming people for it.
What's more important? The wedding or the groom? If you can't answer that, don't get married.
What exactly is happening in those persons' mind ? "The wedding I've been envising from a child" ? Seriously who does that?
The wedding expert also urges couples to set realistic expectations. “Not everything will go according to plan, and that's okay! We always recommend making a wedding planning checklist, and even adding the psychological issues there,” she added with a smile.
“And to all the friends and family members of entitled couples out there, we say this: tread carefully, but tread with love,” Jhona noted. “Listen to their concerns, offer your support, and gently guide them back to reality when necessary. After all, isn't that what love is all about?”
Bride To Be Is Furious That Bridesmaid Is Planning On Undergoing Surgery 3 Months Before The Wedding
This bridesmaid is going to have a dangerous and painful cancer removed from her. Oh, and she's also having some sort of medical procedure too.

No gifts received means no gifts to be returned when the groom calls this train wreck off.
While it’s easy to judge brides and grooms who post on Facebook expecting donations for their weddings or who expect bridesmaids to wear strapless dresses in the middle of winter, it’s important to remember how stressful planning a wedding can be. No, it certainly doesn’t have to be, and that shouldn’t be an excuse for bad behavior. But it might explain some of it. Considering that the average wedding in the United States costs around $35,000, it’s safe to assume that most couples are probably on edge about their finances while planning their big days.
Bride Doesn't Want Fh Children Photographed

Bride Groups Really Are The Gift That Keeps Giving
I can understand this one. She wants to take his last name when they get married but months before the wedding he’s planning to change his name. She’s not being rude or hateful. She’s not saying she loves his name and not him. it’s just a surprise. Maybe she’ll keep her maiden name. Maybe she’ll take his new name and learn to love it. Some people get upset by plans changing not because they’re being a brat but because they’re on the spectrum. (I’m not saying she is but plans changing is hard for some people).
I ever so slightly get this. She's dreamt of the wedding to him since 15? The trouble with childhood first loves is that they often feel the strongest. But it's his name for Him to chose. My late partner wanted to take on my name rather than his. This wasn't my original name which he'd known me by for decades but a family I changed to by Deed Poll two years ago. What she Should do is take on his name and he can take his granddads, sorted.... 🤷🏻♀️😉
The bride should leave the man be and marry someone with his current last name, as she is abviously more in love with the name than with the person
No reason not to change the name to the one that each of you want. Plenty of women keep their names, so changing it to the groom's family name while he changes it to another is unusual but may be the best solution.
There are two additional pictures on the OP of the replies telling her she is an AH.
Hm, I'd call her unhinged more than AH. But then, I don't get the "I want to change my name"-thing unless you dislike yours (but then why wait to change it?).
Load More Replies...You have no business getting married if you care that much about a name.
According to Verywell Mind, some other major sources of stress while wedding planning can be creating the guest list, finding a venue, sending out invitations, coordinating with vendors, following up about RSVPs, making decisions about your look for the day, creating a seating chart, planning the honeymoon, managing expectations and more. There can be a million things bouncing around the bride and groom’s heads leading up to the big day, and they’re likely working full-time and juggling all of their other responsibilities at the same time as well.
Bride Only Allows For Guests To Have 30mins To Get Ready For Her Wedding But "It's Not My Problem"

Bride Or Groom Wants Guests To Sit On Blankets Opposed To Chairs
“You’re sitting on the grass, so take this to avoid a wet arsė”.
Good one, but grass and àss would rhyme even better because of the ss.
Load More Replies...Here is a blanket. Sit your a$$ down. I don't care about your comfort, because I am a clown.
I could sit down but getting up again with bad knees would be a problem. Would have to decline that invitation.
Ok... uuhhmmm.... I suppose I'll get downvoted for this? But I really like the idea of a pinic wedding. Everybody sits on pretty blankets and each banket has a basket with drinks and glasses. Food is a buffet og picnic-friendly food -enough to ensure all guests are full! It will take place in a clearing in a forest and instead of a DJ we'll hire a folk music band doing live music and funny chain-dances. In the evening we'll have a nice bonfire and marshmellows and popcorn. Ppl wouldn't have to wear fancy clothes... just whatever they are comfortable with. I would love to attend a picnic-wedding.
Yeah as long as people are aware that it'll be that sort of wedding in advance I don't see it as a bad thing either. Sure it's a little quirky and unusual but why not?
Load More Replies..."For you to sit, place this the floor on...You don't get a chair, the bride is a moron"
Are you really going to ask your guest who took the time to be there to sit on the ground? Some may not be physically capable of doing so. Don't make Grandma sit on the grass.
If they are planning it properly they'll have some folding chairs for the elderly. Hell, they may not even be inviting any oldies.
Load More Replies...People can't always sit on the ground. Some people have health problems that make it very uncomfortable. Expect to lose guests.

I accept I'm not going. Can I still not talk to the bride?
"Are you still attending with a plus one?"... "NO!". "So you'll be attending alone, then?" "That's a negatory! Scratch my name off the list and lose my number!"
And no acceptance... Probably should have made an exception for this.

My Friend Is Charging A Fee To Attend Her Wedding
This isn't so bad compared to the rest of the posts. I agree paying to attend a wedding is a major no no, but you always have to pay to stay overnight at a venue. Also, if a gift isn't required, most people would actually save money just paying the $65 for the reception. Maybe I'm misreading
Most of this Is somehow expected, but not directly ask for in my opinion. I would be ok paying for a hotel to attend a wedding, i would bring 50-100 $ in envelope (depending on how close i am to the couple), but being asked si openly Is kinda tacky...
Load More Replies...This is stupid. If it's your wedding, you should pay for it. She wouldn't go to a car lot, pick out a car, and expect a random friend to pay for it, right? ... right?
This Awful Bride Wouldn't Let Their Fiancé Do A Sweet Tribute To Their Late Friend
Yeah, same here. I'd be suggesting some sort of compromise. Mentioning the lost friend in a toast or something. As Nemo suggests, maybe a photo to remember them.
Load More Replies...This is perfectly reasonable. He passed a long time ago and there are living people around them who should be there.
Why can't he just have a picture board dedicated to his friend or something? An empty chair at the head table IS kind of weird.
I get his sentiment, but if seating was tight, I see her thinking too. Being military, we had the traditional MIA table dedicated to our friends that didn't make it home, only difference is we included their names. For those that don't know, military ceremonies have a missing Soldier/POW table. Small round table draped in black, empty place setting, single chair, single burning candle, red rose, etc., all in memory of those who were not here to help us celebrate. The hotel did it for not cost.
She says, "..I think I'd like to know how it looks from an outside perspective...". Then she "EDIT: people tend to read 3000 character posts thinking they understand a four-year relationship based on limited information, don't they?" Not the sharpest cookie in the pond, and to the groom, "think before you swim, there are plenty of other fish".
She asked for judgement about ONE situation nlt the whole realationship. Thats what she was saying.
Load More Replies...He's asking top much, IMO. Space is tight, a whole chair for someone who wouldn't be there is a lot. As a lot of people in the comments have said, a table or a photo on something like a wall or stand would suffice. But, how would I know?
Oh, you don't think we understand the whole relationship from your post? Bet you wouldn't say that if we had agreed with you...
Entitled Bride Is Upset She Can't Keep Bartenders Tips
Wait. She seriously expected she'd get the tips people give the bartenders for doing their service job well?!? I mean, without US tpping culture, she'd habe to pay a price that includes proper wages for the bartenders.
The ONLY reason I ever bartended weddings was for tips! I charged a flat rate, but it wasn't enough for setup,tend,breakdown, which honestly could be over 16 hours! I once had a lady who was adamant she didn't want a tip jar for a southern wedding. Oh the horror of actual money at a social function! So I told her my no tip price, she didn't even flinch. Unfortunately her daughter was marrying an Italian of northern extraction. A Yankee. When they asked for the tip jar, I explained I was being paid extremely well by the MOB, and not to worry. I started getting $5,$20$$10 one $100 bill, and 2 $50 in wet beer, wine and cocktail glasses. ( I make really great cocktails like martinis and brandy Alexanders) I ended up with a soggy 3200 bucks roughly, plus my $1000 from the mother. She tried to find out, but I told her in respect of her wishes, I had just crammed the tips in a ziplock and was gonna count at home. Lol.
Load More Replies...Thinking back to receptions I've attended, and even some cocktail parties at private homes, if there's a bartender, you tip THEM. It's understood and standard procedure. The host never keeps the tips. Also, for private parties, the host typically also tips the bartender(s). What kind of people would think otherwise?
As a guest if I tipped I want to be damn sure it’s not going to anyone but the person I handed it to.
1st- You NEVER take someones tip. 2nd- the first contract signad is the valid one, if the new one is not signad. Therefor cancellelation fee goes back.
Money-Grabbing Bride
Future Bride Not Happy With Her Proposal
I didn’t get officially proposed to until the Valentine’s Day before our 30th wedding anniversary! We were two 18 year old kids when we got married. Didn’t even have an engagement ring and our wedding bands cost $80 together. This year we celebrate 41 years. It’s about the marriage, not the proposal.
Julie ----- yeah for Julie (and hubby of course) !!! that's life as it should be lived - making the best of what you have and sticking with the important stuff!!
Load More Replies...He's not the right one...as long as she believes she's some fairy tale princess.
Groom's two proposal attempts both had the same fatal flaw - the recipient.
I don't know how this guy proposed but just the fact that he attempted to redo it is huge. Honestly I think she needs to ask herself. Was the proposal just not up to her standard or did it show a proper red flag worthy lack of thought. If it's the former then she needs to work on herself and understand why you get married. If it's the latter, that's a legitimate concern. They should work through before getting married.

Bride Thinks This Cake Should Cost Less Than $200
I could never pay that much for a cake (would if I had money though). But as far as wedding cakes go, this is absolutely stunning, seems professionally made and is also four tiers (so really big). Not to mention edible flowers that take ages to make. It's the quality that costs.
This b***h is going to be so disappointed with real life.
Depending on the specific ingredients used, $2150 seems cheap for a four-tiered cake with this level of decorative work and gold leaf. I've never made anything this intricate, and I made several wedding cakes that cost four figures when I was a baker.
I checked the original post and at no point was less than 200 mentioned??
I mean... I kinda think 2000$ (not 200$) is a lot. Iwould expect like 600$ or something?
Bride Asking For Validation On Her Disappointment In Guests Being Cheap With Their Gifts, Expected A Minimum Gift Of Paying For Their Plate Cost
For a wedding? Definitely not. As soon as caterers hear the word wedding the pricing gets insanely high
Load More Replies...Gift equals mean is a reasonable guideline for what you give (if you can) but never for what you expect to get. You're not entitled to any gifts...otherwise it's the offer to buy a ticket but not an invitation. BTW $ 400 gifts?!? That greed would make me reconsider lowering my gift's value.

Bride Wants A Bridal Shower But Wants The Guests To Pay For It
When I was a kid, we'd get together in a church's rent-a-room or the hostess's living room, sit on metal folding chairs, play wedding bingo and other silly games, give the bride household gifts, eat cake and drink coffee.
That's just like every shower I've attended in my life. I'd tell someone who changed me $75 just to attend their shower to eff off!
Load More Replies...This Bride Was Completely Unreasonable About A Guest's Outfit
Sounds like OP was also more beautiful than the bride and the bride knew that.
Load More Replies...By wearing something non-Western and arguably much more interesting you drew attention. I live in an area with a very high desi population and seeing traditional dress is a daily occurrence but it's still striking. Next time you attend a wedding I recommend you wear a bin liner with holes for your head and arms as an alternative. (Joking obviously - the bride sounds bitter, possibly racist, and your outfit sounds entirely appropriate.)
Don’t take the blame for being fabulous, you were dressed conservatively. It’s her problem not yours.
Despite what the movie "Love Story" said, love does mean having to save your saree. For a different occasion.
If this is the story i think it is. Bride was fine untill her MIL also an Indian wearing the same thing, complimented her on it. Then it was a problem. Might be a differentvstory about an Indian lady wearing a scree to a western wedding after approving it wuth the bride and groom though.
Guests Will Have To Pay For Their Seat Because Bride And Groom Aren't Rich
Nothing wrong with this given that it is in lieu of getting a gift imo. People pay to attend destination weddings, this is paying your own way for a dinner but no additional gift expenses.
Sorry, there is _everything_ wrong with this. If you can;t afford an extravagant wedding then don't have one. It's entirely possible to do things more cheaply, just as long as you don't do all the stupid things mentioned in other posts lie fifteen bridesmaids and 'groomsmen" all in matching outfits etc. A wedding is about two people committing to each other; simple weddings can actually be a lot more meaningful without all the trimmings.
Load More Replies...Anyone thinking the people they invite should pay to attend at all, even in lieu of a gift, is delusional. Customers pay, guests don't. How anyone thinks they're entitled to a wedding they can't pay for themselves is mind blowing.
"Both of us mainly me being the bride absolutely deserve the wedding of our dreams". What even is this?
If you don't want to spend money, either elope, don't have a big wedding or just don't get married.
With less of the "we don't want to spend money on you", this wouldn't necessarily have to be bad. Keep it at a reasonable amount and luxury, and let guests know in a friendly, non-demanding way that your greatest wish is to have this wonderful wedding. How much you appreciate their being part of it, and how if they want to give you a gift, a financial contribution to the wedding reception -or the house- would be appreciated. You don't know for sure how much people are going to give, but certainly some have been taught the same guideline as I have: give about as much as you think your meal etc costs, or more (but not less).
Less unreasonable than most of the things on here. I’ve been to several wedding where I’ve paid more than this for a hotel of tux rental (groomsman) definitely spent more than 150$ on gifts before.
Lew k - Yes, on GIFTS! I wouldn't pay a dime to attend someone's wedding. If they want a wedding, they should have one they can afford.

Well, there are different traditions in different cultures. It's so sad she doesn't appreciate her mother's contribution more- most of the planning work is a lot.
Well, you could try scaling down your wedding plans to fit within your budget...
i hope the only advice she got was "if you cannot afford a wedding, don't throw a party"
Yeah if her dad were alive, her mother could probably AFFORD to give more money. Dumbass

From A Budget Wedding Group I Am In. Got To Love Racist Brides!
Why is she racist? Some of them are terrible, mostly because they use undocumented migrants who have little to no experience; and are worked half to death. Plus most of them are Vietnamese, especially in my city.

Disappointment=disillusionment, meaning there was an illusion in the beginning.
Bride Demands People Bring Their Own Food And Alcohol To Reception
The context is not there. Maybe the couple has friends with dietary restrictions and wants to make sure everyone can eat safely. The post doesn't qualify for the list IMO.
It does... it truly does! Dietary restrictions don't apply when you include "bring your own booze" in the mix, and especially when she says "so we don't get doubles"! It's not about dietary restrictions but more about the "why pay for a caterer when we could try getting food for free?" kind of deal.
Load More Replies...Bring food and alcohol. Refreshments are provided. Because you're bringing them. Bring them.

When The Bride Shows Her True Colors About Why She's Having A Wedding
Just accept that wedding is not a business where you make money. What is a shower other than "give me give me i want!" thing. I understand it's not uncommon in the US, but to me these wedding/baby showers are just a greedy, entitled event.
Yes, I agree. There's so much that's alien and incomprehensible about these American weddings I just find myself shaking my head in amazement at so many of these posts.

Bride Wants To Feed Vendors Kids Meals
I don't get this at all. What "Vendors" would be in attendance at the wedding reception? People doing their jobs, that they've been paid for, no. of course they wouldn't be included, unless they were also personal friends who would have been invited anyway.
We fed our two photographers. They dressed up just like guests and were all over the place. Drop in the bucket at that point.
Load More Replies...I first read that title as the bride wanted to feed the kids (belonging to the vendors) meals and thought "aww how sweet"
Bride Wants To Send “You’re Not Invited To My Wedding” Messages With Save The Dates
Obviously so they can still send gifts to the wedding they're not invited to? LOL Dunno.
Load More Replies...Not sure if it's still done this way, but it used to be considered normal/acceptable to invite just close friends and family to the formal wedding meal but then have a bigger, cheaper, party in the evening for all comers. And of course the church itself would be open to anyone, invited or not.
Easy. You send a nice message AFTER the wedding. Or the non-guests will find out on FB.
Bride Tips Garbage Can On Husband And Thinks He’s The Red Flag?
Disagree with the title. I see at least two red flags waving. Dude needs to step up and do housework. Her reaction is obviously OTT (and I think she may need therapy) but... the man needs to a fair share of the chores.
They are far too early in their relationship to be getting married, considering they can't even live together in harmony. You need to take these things slow (says me that my other half moved in with me after just 3 weeks after meeting! Just celebrated our 11th anniversary last month!)
Everyone sucks here. He sounds useless and she sounds like she needs to chat with her therapist about how she copes with it.
So many selfish, delusional and entitled people, some even pure evil. How they found ANYONE wanting to marry them is beyond me.
I think BP should give the Bridezilla posts a rest for a while! How can so many women act like this and think it's socially acceptable?
Especially considering about half the posts in this one have been on BP in the last six months or so too.

I was the least bridezillaish (new word 😅) bride.

Again and again, marriage isn't about your weddingday, it's about the years that follow.
