Bridezillas that belong in an insane asylum - REACTION

[@anuajayibembe1431]

Nigerian here, I had my wedding this past January and when I told my people especially my american friends to wear white, they were scared cause I know the rule here is not to wear white to upstate the bride. I told them my culture is that everyone wear white while we the couple wear a different color. I said it's ok, even I didn't wear a white wedding dress. It's the culture, and everyone looked so beautiful 😍. Every where is a different culture, it's just a matter of respecting it.

[@fenixsoul3102]

​@SaintShion I think it does give insight to the behavior though. Because he's probably aware of that his ex was "above of his league" and may have overcompensated by treating her like a princess. And she also probably knew this which could be a reason out of many as to why she justified the cheating. She enjoyed the benefits of being with her ex but could have wanted other men who may be more "her level" in terms of looks. I know it's a lot of assumptions, but it's a dynamic that does happen and looks play a part whether we want to admit it or not.

They had the key to our house and could do aaaaall the touristing they would like to. It's just SO SO MUCH selfish of you to not want people to stay over...! It's just crazy to me!

Take the money and put it as a down payment on a house. Or go someplace where you want like a beach in Hawaii, take your parents or siblings, best friend or nobody and have a blast. Get married in a jungle, at a private island where you can spend a few days, take a tour through the USA or Europe by train or boat, get married on a cruise. There are lots of ways to elope, it does not ave to be at the Justice of the Peace or the Elvis Church in Vegas unless thats what YOU WANT. The most important thing is to marry someone who loves, honors, and respect you. Good luck.

Darling, we had a morning wedding with a luncheon reception in the fellowship hall of my Presbyterian church in Rancho Palos Verdes. Gorgeous view! All Presbyterian venues are dry so we settled for Martinelli’s and had no issues. BTW as a member, the venue was FREE.

[@sugarplum5824]

My wedding reception was dry because I knew a handsome 16 year old boy that got wasted at a reception and was not only killed, but mutilated in a horrible crash on the way home. It had a profound effect on me ever since. Most all our invitees came to our wedding and reception where they enjoyed music and plenty of food at a gorgeous venue in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After the reception was over, parents and siblings gathered at my parents home where we were toasted with 1 glass of fine champagne. It was everything I had dreamed my wedding would be and our guests enjoyed their evening. If someone refuses to come or laughs at you because you won't get them drunk, they're probably not worth keeping as friends.

17:40 This!! I've shared this before but, when I got married, one of my husband's teenage relatives had just got into making her own clothes and she made her own dress. It was **stunning** and I was so proud of her, and also flattered that she felt that our wedding was important enough to make such an effort for (her outfit had taken weeks and weeks of work). Was I worried about being "outshone"? Absolutely not!! People were there to support us, not our clothing. Also, she had been very respectful and asked if it was ok (she didn't need to but I thought it was sweet), & a big part of joining a family is acting like family. This awesome young lady wanted a career in fashion (something she has since achieved and loves) and our wedding was a safe place for her to try wearing one of her completely original pieces to an event for the first time. It was an honour and I thoroughly enjoyed introducing her to people and telling them about her talent. Getting to play a part in her story is the definition of two families coming together in unity, love, and support. That's far more important than photos for Instagram that nobody will look at after 3 months.

I was in university for jewelry and metals when my sister got married. I had just finished an elaborate neck piece that I loved and was extremely proud of. Of course I asked her if I could wear it to the wedding as I was already a bridesmaid and didn't want to draw too much attention. It was clearly something not store bought, but my sister even found some cute hairclips and earrings that would go with it. I have anxiety, so I double and triple checked that it was okay beforehand. I did get a bit of attention for it, but it was always brief and I never felt like I outshone her as she looked absolutely gorgeous. She didn't think I did either. So happy for your family member and her career! ❤

I wore a tea length dress while my matron of honor and the female guests wore regular dresses or pantsuits to our wedding. The exception was one of my sister-in-laws who was singing and wore a sapphire blue, strapless evening gown which I GIFTED her. Two weeks prior to the wedding she had a double mastectomy but insisted on still singing (I was thrilled) and attended my last fitting to pick up my dress. The store had that sapphire dress on display, and it was her. I convinced her to try it on. it fit like it was custom made with slight padding, and she looked amazing. I insisted on buying it and asked her to wear it. No one outside of a few family members knew she was recovering from surgery and the compliments on how beautiful she looked was better that any drugs. Unless someone other than the bride shows up in a wedding dress, I don't understand the uproar about what anyone is wearing. Our 30th anniversary is upcoming, and she is still with us...❤

Sounds like an awesome wedding. I love happy endings. Hugs to all concerned! We're coming up on 33 years as a couple, 32 married. My Lady Wife picked out a tea length not-a-wedding-dress from Sears. I bought a navy blue 3 piece pinstripe suit from Blair. What she spent on our entire wedding and reception is less than most people spend on just flowers. Her MOH wore a dress she had in her closet that just happened to match the silk flowers she made for the tables. My best "man" (a longtime female friend we both love) who I never expected to show up in a skirt wore her "power suit". And a pillow mint war broke out at the reception. We have a picture of me traversing "no man's land" with an umbrella to get some more punch. So that was the vibe. We ended up wearing our wedding outfits (with different accessories) to a 1920s Gangster theme party. She was rocking a feathered headband, a cigarette holder and period jewelry, and I was rocking a fedora and a violin case.

I've been a makeup artist for 23 years. I could write a series based on all of the situations I've witnessed. I'll never understand how people can be so insecure, that they're more focused on a guest "outshining" them, rather than enjoying their wedding day.

She ran back down the aisle crying and they re-did her hair and makeup and she came back and married him. It was the start of a horrible, toxic long-lasting marriage. My step-grandpa is really racist and antisemitic and DID NOT like that the had gotten her hair curled. He's made some hateful comments about that which I won't repeat. He's generally an awful person. He's told me this wedding story countless times and laughs about it like he's proud of sending her back and always throws in a joke about how he wishes he never asked her to come back to the altar.

My step-grandma told me she really liked how her hair and makeup were done the first time but she felt like no one else would want her because she was already almost 40 when they met, and he was a few years younger than her.

Day one was the prewedding stuff, day 2 was the wedding proper, and the next two days was for all of us to enjoy the spa.

This woman was a coworker who later became a friend. Keep that forefront. If she had ran to the dude and tattled on her and the result was the engagement got called off it could have all dragged all kinda crazy bridezilla drama up into their work environment which could have ended up costing her, her friend or both of them their jobs. However this lady felt about what her buddy was doing to her man, she was older and she was wise enough not to get up in between it. Nonetheless, because she is a decent human being, when the man directly confronted her and asked her point blank, she neither confirmed or denied it but asked him to think about it. He could never truthfully tell her coworker buddy that she was the one who outed her. It is usually not a wise move to get up in between a couple when they are having problems, ESPECIALLY if your job is remotely connected in there some kinda way.. It is always best to try to avoid getting dragged into the middle and refuse to chose sides.

My brother got married in Hawaii, we stayed at another resort on another island for 3 days before going home! It was wonderful. Everyone was so happy for us. We never got to go anywhere, so we made a big deal of it for ourselves. Their wedding was 2 events and the rest was ours! 🎉

I have been binge watching all of your bride stories and I must say I am so f***ing glad that I had a Blue jean wedding where everyone was in jeans and my husbands great-uncle (who wore his best overalls) married us as his last wedding to officiate.. It was such a calm and wonderful day.. It's been 20 years married now and I still look back at the day and know that is was the best day ever for us at least.

You're not the first comment I've seen talking about Nigerian weddings, and now I'm very intrigued.

[@ANPC-pi9vu]

I honestly think in the Anglosphere and Eurosphere there's a bit of a prevailing modesty culture regarding weddings that we do not even think about, it's just so ingrained. So 'dress to impress' tends to mean dress formally and tastefully but somewhat understated. Kind of like dressing to impress for a business meeting or the like. So I think the bride and groom should have self reflected about cultural differences and miscomunications instead of being mad at their guest, but I also think it was the guest committing a completely accidental cultural offense because she just did not know how different the cultural practices are. It's the sort of thing we do without being aware of it enough to elucidate it's significance to outsiders. I feel so bad for the guest, I hope everyone came to understand eachother and the miscomunication that occurred later.

[@eraldadevole]

[@SingingSealRiana]

German, I also am used to the closer to the couple the more you dress up, but like appropriately, not overshadowing the couple,( probably a bit more subdue though then common for more colorful southern cultures) ..... Makes it really easy to spot people "relevant". But yeah , its always good to gage what others will wear, hie extra the bride looks etc. Expectations can wary wildly.... Find the whole upstaging thing weird too though, even if I am not one of tge women who tend to dibdrsmatic looks, wear make uo or anything. If a wedding is not an opportunity to go all out, what would be?! The nonine is allowed to look good or has as much fun as me thing is soo weird in western culture

[@LadyCarrieSmith]

All my bridesmaids were in the same dress, long length but they chose different jewel tone colors. I made white matching shrugs for all of us, using their dress color as a liner. It was so gorgeous. Everywhere I looked I saw movie star friends and family. Faux fur, jewels, and flower hair-clips everywhere that I made. People wanted to try on our shrugs so we let them and took tons of pictures. It was an awesome wedding! 15 years later I still here people say that was the most fun. It rained and we danced in the rain. 100% amazing and I loved every second of it. Our cake was laughable, dj played the cd’s I made for him and gave him the order. Pretty much he pressed play. He brought a girl with him who was wearing a black bra and jeans. So not appropriate. Friends saw this and brought out a fun fur coat for her to wear so her naked body would not be in all the photos.

[@zoeb3573]

​@@DrawciaGleam02I actually understand this mindset when it came from noble women who got to enjoy their rich lives with their family and knew their happiness had a time limit because they'd be send to marry some dude their dad picked when they were old enough, and then they'd have to leave behind their siblings and their home before they felt ready, to end up surrounding by HIS family which probably expected a lot from her, and suddenly she had the responsibilities of a wife instead of the freedom of a daughter and had everyone waiting for her to pop as many kids as she could as quickly as she could. But nowadays? Girl, if you don't want to get married, don't. You get to pick your path, you get to pick your husband. Stop creating problems where there are none.

As for dressing up at weddings, at my wedding I was keen on having everyone look their best, and I had zero qualms with any of the outfits (a middle aged woman even showed up in white, but hey, I was still the shining bride so I didn't really care 😂) Why would you want to be surrounded by frumpy looking attendees? I feel like that would kill the vibe. Have everyone be glamorous! That way, when you look back on pictures, you can marvel at all of your beautiful friends and family members. Jealousy, envy, and insecurity has no place at a wedding. It is a day of celebrating love, not a day of 'I'm the best, most important person'. That's not what weddings should be about.

[@scarlettthorne229]

On the subject of guests looking better than the bride (or groom), my SIL was a bridesmaid at my wedding. I look back at pics from the day and always think she looks way prettier than I did. She was a bridesmaid, so I obviously approved her apparel for the day. I'm just super insecure about my own appearance. I have never given her crap for it, nor would I have allowed anyone else to do so. In fact, as sad as it is for me (because I don't think I look good in my pics), I compliment her on how beautiful she looked. I would never stand for a person to be embarrassed just to make myself feel better

Last story ~ I don't understand why the travel agent called the bride to "get permission" for the guests to stay after the wedding. I could understand if the bride and groom were paying for everything but that doesn't seem to be the case.

[@Trammiliin_nr2]

This is strange, indeed. But maybe the bride did some pre-booking for the guests or smth? I have never been to destination wedding, so I don’t know but maybe there is some pre-booking that we need rooms for 50 people during these dates, and they will book the rooms?

[@Kayenne54]

@@Trammiliin_nr2 If new bride and groom were staying on at the resort. It's a destination wedding. They were probably having their honeymoon there. They would not want to have to constantly get drawn into socializing with relatives, no matter how loving the relatives were. That's why the Resort person called her. Relatives wanting to stay on can perhaps book elsewhere, or bride and groom could have thought of this consequence to a "destination wedding" (where folks may have to outlay large sums and want to rest before travelling home), and booked themselves in elsewhere for their honeymoon, far away, so as to not have to socialize. It's an issue with destination weddings, I'd assume, or the Resort person wouldn't have run it by her.

[@MatchaShortcake]

The only thing that comes to my mind as to why personnel would call the couple is that perhaps they did the wedding at one of those places you need a referral to stay without having to purchase a membership... 🧐

@@Kayenne54 Well, it makes sense. But they still can't gatekeep where their guests spend their time outside their wedding time.

@@Trammiliin_nr2 Yes, I said that in another reply elsewhere here. Also, resorts having to turn away multiple bookings (theoretically speaking) isn't good business either. It is something bride and groom-to-be need to think about beforehand for these "destination" weddings. Or perhaps resorts need to have more careful guidelines...

Destination wedding. I went to a wedding a few years ago and it was about an hour away from where most guests lived, so many of us stayed the night. The following morning the bride and grooms parents went around at breakfast and told everyone to leave the newlyweds alone and don’t go to their room. It was really that simple, just respecting the space of the newlyweds and their honeymoon. We didn’t see them till we left and they gave us a friendly nod and wave. They are a lovely couple and it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to, a lot of nerdy fun.

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

I was toying with the idea of a destination wedding in the Caribbean, and I would pay for everything for everyone. My mom started insisting that not only was she going to stay, but planning on joining US for all these excursions after the celebration. I scrapped the destination idea so quickly...

[@stephaniesmith8603]

Not destination wedding but I did have some out of town guests who drove a few hours to my wedding. They stayed the night in the area and my mother had the great idea to invite them to brunch with us newlyweds the next morning at her house and we would open wedding gifts there. I loved it! It gave us more time to spend with family we don't get to see often but that are important and thought us important enough to make the trip for our wedding. Plus it was like extending the celebration and celebrating us a little while longer.

[@soonut]

Every time I hear about those brides afraid their friends would steal their thunder, I want to remind them of the dress Pippa Middleton wore to her sister, now Princess Catherine (aka Kate Middleton). She was stunning and the talk of the town for days on end!! Her sister put her out there to the world (literally), in white on top of it all, not afraid for a second that she would upstage her. And boy, the stakes were high. So ladies, just chill and enjoy the day, your friends and family, and celebrate the fact that you are loved and love 🥰🥰🥰

[@oldgeezer2780]

*All* the attendants wore white - as was customary for those occasions. Diana's did too. And Queen Elizabeth's. Being the center of attention on one's wedding day doesn't guarantee living happily ever after. A couple months after the wedding, patterns for Pippa's dress entered the home-sewing pattern books.

[@Bawetta]

17:15 At my wedding one of the guests was wearing a white dress, but it was obviously not a wedding dress, just a nice summer dress and I was ok with that. And my witness changed during the reception into a white lace dress (from her own wedding) and still nobody cared. Moreover, we thought it was a really great idea to do so. Nobody could mistakenly take her for a bride 😉
