30 Posts Of Entitled Brides And Grooms To Mentally Prepare You For This Wedding Season
Interview With Expert
There 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!

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.

Bride Cancels Professional Photographer For Cheap Photos, Regrets It And Demands Free Photos From Professional
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Today, however, these beliefs seem pretty outdated.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.

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.”

Would she fork out that money every time one of her friends got married?

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.”

Just a wild stab in the dark here, but you wouldn't happen to be an influencer would you?
“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.

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.
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?”

From A Wedding Group, Bride Is Mad Because No One Has Sent Gifts Yet
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 Groups Really Are The Gift That Keeps Giving
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.

We hope you’re enjoying this list featuring examples of bride and groom-zillas, pandas. While we’re well aware that the vast majority of engaged couples do not behave like this, it’s nice to remind others to stay grounded while wedding planning. I’m sure your big day will be absolutely lovely, even if all of your groomsmen don't have the exact same haircut. Keep upvoting the pics you find most ridiculous, and then if you’re interested in seeing even more examples of entitled brides and grooms, check out this Bored Panda piece next!

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

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.

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.
I couldn't make it to the end of this thread. Far too much crazy, entitled, and downright delusional behaviour for me. I would like to say, though,that if you put up with this behaviour, for whatever reason, then you are, at least in some small way, a part of the problem. The bride and groom are free to impose any rules or conditions as they see fit. You, however, are under no obligation to attend if you don't agree.
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.
