Weddings are the ultimate stress test, especially if you’re going all out on your celebration. Some couples can even get hit with main-character syndrome and start acting like the world revolves around their big day.

For example, they might ask photographers to work for free in exchange for “exposure.” Or tell a best friend they’re cut from the bridal party because their look doesn’t fit the aesthetic.

Bored Panda has rounded up a list of some of the most delusional and entitled brides and grooms to show you just how quickly their dream day can turn into a total nightmare.

Read on to see why no amount of Pinterest-perfect flowers or Insta-worthy photo-ops is worth losing your sanity, or your friends.
