There's a write-up from the local paper online about the wedding. ALL the bridesmaids were called "bridesmaids" in the article, no distinction made between "real" and "honorary". And they all wore the dress that she picked in this clip!!

[@cc-sb1is]

Because the news source recognized how ridiculous it was to have "honorary bridesmaids"..hahaha

[@jessicazeller8060]

Methinks she didn’t end up with 15 bridesmaids.

[@dietotaku]

seems like the easiest way to solve this "too many bridesmaids" situation is to cut out the catty bitches who think it's a popularity contest. who needs that in their life?

[@annewagner196]

Agreed. I couldn't help but think she had a few spares. Less is more.

[@kwest5171]

"honorary" bridesmaids is just dumb. How awful does that make a friend feel? just because you don't have the same number of groomsman as bridesmaids doesn't mean you can't have them all stand for you.

[@mariposavioleta9007]

Agreed! If honourary then why are they even getting bridemaids dresses? If they're getting dresses then they're bridesmades if not then no need for them to spend a ton of money on a bridesmaids dress

[@wasntme9578]

​@@mariposavioleta9007 Couldn't agree more! Honorary is crap. Why not just say all of the female guests are honorary and not put anyone but bridesmaids in dresses. Or find four more groomsmen. How hard would that be. The bride is clearly not that close to her honorary bridesmaids so how is it the groom can't find a few more acquaintances to put in suit? Obviously cost isn't an issue or she wouldn't have 11 bridesmaids and groomsmen in the first place. Those are two options. Another option would be to rethink the number and take it down to 5 or 6. Explain that the logistics of this were not thought out and changes have to be made. If I were one of these bridesmaids or honorary bridesmaids, I would be relieved to be excused from this mess. This is a bride with too much money and too weak of a spine.

When my cousin got married, my sister and I were honorary bridesmaids. Our cousin was a few years older than us, and she wanted us to be included in the wedding. There were no "wolves" in her wedding party!

Lol 😂

[@Fazerella]

I had 30 people total at my wedding. Very small and intimate. Granted it was covid and that's all we were allowed! But I was relieved, I'm Indian and our weddings are normally 300+ people. Avoided all that!

[@elroseehler9551]

[@trishgift7959]

15 is a lot of people to get to agree on something. It was never gonna happen. I'm glad she picked the dress that SHE liked. If the others don't like it, they can dropout of the bridal party.

When I watch a video like this one, I'm glad I had a wedding where there were no bridesmaids. It's the kind of thing that seems important when you are younger, and then as you get older you start thinking, 'what was I thinking'...

[@grenade8572]

Bridemaids are not really a thing in my country (Belgium, western Europe). Most bride have none bridemaids, or just one maid of honour. The maid of honour traditionnally helps the bride with the wedding, to relieve her from some stress. She can wear whatever she wants, like all the other guests, witht the difference she doesn't have to worry about "wearing too beautiful clothes" because everyone knows she's a special guest.

[@ladyjustice1474]

Those bridesmaids are going to give the bride grief over those dresses. She needs to kick the ones with a bad attitude out of her wedding.

Honorary bridesmaid is the dumbest thing I ever heard. I r basically telling your friends they are second class.

[@marysheffield190]

This woman is treating her girlfriends horribly. I’d just politely decline being an honorary bridesmaid and just enjoy the wedding and cake!

[@Lauren2145-fi3ed]

I agree. It's a nice gesture but I would prefer to just be a guest then

[@joannephillips4110]

Wow... 15 Bridesmaids. Crazy. 4 more bridesmaids than groomsmen so they are honorary??? How does that make sense?

[@samanthaweston5749]

The "honourary" bridesmaid seems to be the most considerate of the brides choices and feelings so why is she "honourary"!

[@RevLeigh55]

15 bridesmaids?! That’s absolutely ridiculous.

[@nillaskat1]

If the wedding party is that big can you imagine how much was actually spent on the wedding

[@1957DLT]

Mylawd, this bride is 21 going on 12: honorary bridesmaids sounds like a schoolyard gimme. And why do you need 15 of them? Why?

[@9094nancyj]

Honorary bridesmaids? I'd be insulted and say no, I've never seen a bridesmaid dress from this shop that I liked.

[@laurellane1721]

They are always the same 4 styles.

[@dorisschneider-coutandin9965]

I'm ever so glad that bridesmaids/matrons of honour/etc. are not even a thing in my country. We mostly have two witnesses, the one for the groom might be considered Best Man, the one for the bride doesn't necessarily come with a name to the position. Occasionally, there is a ring-bearer/page boy and/or a flower girl, too. Nothing else. No fuss. Easy.

[@grenade8572]

In my country, there are no bridemaids (unless the bride and groom want an americanish wedding), at most one maid of honour (for the bride) and man of honour (for the groom). Their role is helping to organize the wedding, to relieve the bride and groom from stress; the man of honour is also usually the ring bearer. Both maid and man of honour dress however they want; but has the right to wear evening dress/suit, even if other guests are dressed more casual. We don't have flower girls nor page boy. We still have fuss: my aunt (mom's sister) wanted to be the maid of honour, but my mom just told her she helped with nothing, and decided to have no maid of honour. :)

[@janetdill9599]

If someone said be an honorary bridesmaid, I’d say no thanks!

[@minilea144]

Having more than one bridesmaid isnt unheard of. It's really a staus brag thing. Especially here in the south. A lot will have their sorority sisters and family in their wedding. That being said, if you look to everyone else for approval, your wedding is gonna be stressfull as hell.

[@BasicYTHandle]

CRAZY! My wedding had 1 MOH (bestie) & 1 maid (my sister) + BM (his bestie) & 1 groomsman (my brother). Other than necessity of including other siblings, that's more than enough. 15 maids is absurd. 11 maids is absurd. Even 5 maids is absurd. Just pick the 1 or 2 who are your VERY besties + kinda-required siblings (and even that can be pared down with gentle discussion). Ditto for those in entourage. At my brother's wedding, his bride simply told my sister & me what she picked (we weren't consulted) and so be it.

[@mlove.1376]

I agree that is a big wedding party, but everyones different.

[@rebeccaernette1749]

I had both my best friends as bridesmaids, and my husband had two groomsmen, who were his brother and his dad. I loved it and it looks great in photos

[@trudy__taylorandjorjamummy]

I had 5 bridesmaid when I got married, my Sister, one of his friends Daughters they were both around the same age (15-16) I then had my niece and his best man Daughter, they were both 7, and then I had a 3 year old who was a last minute pick, cos she looked to cute! My Mum made all my BM dresses, the older 2 had A line prom style dresses, the 7YOs had party dresses with a big bow on the back, and the 3YO I think had a smaller version of the 7YOs dress❤

[@bbeyez]

Those two need to be kicked out

[@TieyaJ]

Totally agree. I would have made them guest at the wedding.

[@nspangalang]

So just have each groomsman walk 2 bridesmaids down the aisle instead of 1. Who cares if its even on each side? That "honorary" term is ridiculous!

[@cecithomas3753]

I had 2 of my closest friends & 2 of my husband’s closest girls in his family.

[@NH-tb2sm]

The bride probably changed her mind six times since this appointment and the bridesmaids most likely got their way with two different dresses.

[@santanamariedarjes7363]

I LOVED the criss-cross one! I wold just get that one in a different color if i could. ❤

[@silverfeigner]

When I got married, I had a Maid of Honor (friend from high school) and two bridesmaids (my sister-in-law and a friend of my husband and I). My husband had a Best Man (a friend of his whose wedding he was Best man for) and three groomsmen (two of the groomsmen were brothers of the Best man and one of my brothers-in-law). If my husband's youngest brother had not left the day of the wedding, for personal reasons, he would have been a groomsman as well, but stood up on my side to balance the numbers. If my sister had been able to be there, she would have been my MOH and my friend from high school would have been a bridesmaid. I wasn't overly concerned about the number of people standing up with my husband and me being even, because at the end of the day, they were there to celebrate with us.

[@LanaLiliyMoon]

There are certainly people in that group the bride is closer to than others so instead of being a people pleaser she needs to man up and select the people she really wishes for the bridal party and send the rest wedding invitations.

[@meganpodesta9197]

Well done! Those 2 bridesmaids are consumed by status and self importance. ❤😂

[@mlove.1376]

From the start Autumn was not appearing to be a true friend with the comment that nobody has that many friends. And what's with Jodi and all her looks? Judgmental enough? By the way Liz is a stunning girl with a very nice shape and I feel like there was some jealousy about who the bride was closer to having a lot of bridesmaids. Liz knew the assignment and was kind and helpful to the bride. Not only that Liz ROCKED every dress she put on. So shut up secret haters. I'm not sure if the two nasty ones ended up being bridesmaids as they didnt seem like they really wanted to be.

[@chelseahardy5262]

I had 15 bridesmaids too bc of college friends, childhood friends, favorite cousins and 3 sisters so I get it. Thankfully, my college sweetheart husband played football and had a tight-knit friend group so he had just as many as well. It was a lot of ppl but it was great!

yeah i think the bride was second guessing her honorary bridesmaid idea, and rightly so - that was a mistake, it just created an unnecessary division between the girls, as if some were better than others. that Liz honorary one was the nicest and most supportive one there. the others started to make the bride's wedding all about them. you don't Have to be a bridesmaid if you don't want to. if you do, i think your job is to support the bride.

Can someone please tell me what the difference between an honorary bridesmaid and a regular bridesmaid is? Is it just the fact that they don´t have a groomsmen to entery the ceremony with? Im really confused, not to mention disgusted at the attitud of some of this bride´s so called friends.

[@juliestarr5885]

If you want to differentiate you can either get the same dress but put a rhinestone or accent belt on the regular bridesmaids and leave the honorary bridesmaids dresses as they come. You could also get the same dress but the long version for the regular and the short version for the honorary. Or the dresses could be the same and the bridesmaids bouquets could be a little bigger. I think it’s cruel that the regular bridesmaids are so determined to put themselves above the honorary when the bride just said the only reason they aren’t all regular bridesmaids is bc there aren’t enough guys. Why anyone needs 15 bridal attendants is beyond me and incredibly tacky though. The only reason you’d ever need that is if you have 15 sisters and not even the Duggars have 15 sisters…
