Entitled Brides You Won't Believe Exist

When etiquette was a thing, it was taught that you NEVER ask for a gift. Gifts are optional. Your gift is your presence not your present(s).

When I got asked to be a bridesmaid to my best friends wedding, she told me I can look however I want, I can keep all my piercings in [all 28], have my tattoos on display, and I don't have to dye my hair a different color [at the time it was blue and purple] I absolutely loved that my BFF wanted me exactly as I am, it was heartwarming to say the least. Her wedding colors were very pretty, blush pink, wine and gold. I personally didn't want my hair [blue and purple] to stand out against everything, and be distracting, clashing with the colors in the wedding photos. So I decided myself to dye my hair with crimson red, and it mixed with the blue and purple I already had, and it came out a BEAUTIFUL wine color, and matched with everything perfectly. When she saw it she said "aww, you didn't have to do that!" And I told her, "I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Your my best friend, and I wanted the attention on you, not my bright, clashing hair lol" the pictures came out stunning, she looked like a bride right out of a magazine, and since my hair matched the colors she picked out, it wasn't distracting, but rather went with everything beautifully. She accepted me fully for who I am, and in turn I made a change just for her, so everything would look perfect for her wedding. [And honestly, I loved the wine hair color and kept it for a while] THAT'S how real friends do it 💯

The friend always helped with weddings, being the planner pro bono, and just loved weddings, and was kinda bummed she would never have her own. So my cousin and his friends (mix of guys, gals, non-binary pals, the like) got together and brainstormed an idea; a friendship wedding. Nothing legally binding, just a party of friendship. They asked the friend “hey, we’re thinking about having a party, you wanna come? It’s formal dress, so we can get it for you”, and she was down. Everything was set up, even in a nice church. The day of, the friend was brought to the church in a limo, the others saying “we’ll catch up”. The friend was just… well, in utter shock when her friends revealed the truth behind the party, and she was emotional, happy and crying, and it was actually really sweet. Instead of a preacher, the daughter recited the “vows”, and it was just a huge party. And honestly, I thought this story was bullshit until I was shown pictures.

[@lisaspikes4291]

I agree with you to a point. I would never attend a wedding without bringing a gift. The expense of the gift depends a lot on how close I am to the couple, but I think a gift is mandatory. Only if you are destitute should you not bring a gift! Having said that, the bride, or the groom, should never demand a gift, or set a minimum price for gifts. That’s rude. The bridal gift registry is the best, because you can buy them something they want. But you don’t have to go by the registry. A lot of times, I think cash is a great gift, because they can always use cash! In the past, couples getting married were usually just starting out, and needed everything for their home. But a lot of times today, people are getting married later, and have already been living on their own. So they already have a toaster and a coffee maker, and an iron and sheets and towels and may even have China and flatware etc. They may even have 2 sets of everything if they both were living on their own. The last thing they need is another toaster!

They said they would do it and then wouldn't let me pay them. Then they also kind of served as bouncers that I had anticipated needing 😆. I was blown away by the generosity of so many people.

People try to get hair and make-up (and wedding soloists) for cheap, too. I don't work on brides anymore. If I do, I bring a team. I will gladly do bridesmaids or mothers of the bride.

Pretty sure that's why the men like them. A simple mind is easier to control and manipulate. That's why it's so easy to order kids around. Brush your teeth. Go to bed. Etc.

The kids I took care of as a teenager still listens to me today. Some of them call me mom. It started as a way to piss off their own mom but it stuck. Remember I had to scold one of them because he was acting like an a-hole. He is twice as big as me, could break me in two easily, yet when I scolded him he cowered in fear. He was 22 I think.

One of my old "friends" lead me to believe that I would be a bridesmaid at her wedding. I wasn't able to attend her engagement party because I couldn't get off work without a 2-week notice. I found out that she asked people to be bridesmaids at that party, but she didn't ask me because she assumed I wouldn't be able to get off of work to do all that is "required" in order to be her bridesmaid. I was hurt but didn't say anything because it's ultimately not my decision. Time goes on and someone backs out as a bridesmaid leading her to ask me. She sent an incredibly phoney message about her being worried I wouldn't be able to get off work and I explained that as long as I requested the day off in time there would be no issues. She then sent me the list of "requirements." If you couldn't attend any of the activities she planned out, you were OUT of the bridal party. If you couldn't get your dress by a certain date, OUT. If you did anything that wasn't approved, you were gone. It was demanding and mildly aggressive. Now, since she gave me such short notice of the list, there were some activities that I wouldn't be able to attend and I wouldn't be able to get the dress that quickly as I am part-time minimum wage and would have to wait for my paycheck. I tried to gently explain that I couldn't just call off work. My job was strict about that and I tried to let her know from the beginning so it wouldn’t be mistaken as me not wanting to participate. Long story short, I opted out of the bridal party and almost called it quits on the friendship because she turned into such a dick. I ended up trying to maintain the friendship and attended her event. I recently cut her out of my life for something way more significant and it's been great.

I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding and initially I was excited but over time I started to regret it more and more. I wasn’t close with the other bridesmaids who were mostly the bride’s family and childhood friends and even though they had my phone number, they chose to communicate in a group chat on fb even though I didn’t have fb anymore. So I was obviously out of the loop and they told the bride I wasn’t participating (she wasn’t in the group chat). The wedding was 3 months away and I was in the process of a major move but the bride decided she wanted to have a serious phone call the night before the move, when I was still packing, and then the next day when I was literally driving the uhaul to my new place over 2 hours away. I told her as soon as I got to my new place I’d call her bc I was using my navigation and needed to pay attention to that during the drive but she took that as me not caring and asked me to leave the bridal party. I felt a little burned at first but it was for the best. I realized I’m not really a wedding person and probably shouldn’t have accepted the role in the first place.

And then we went to our favorite little mom/pop bar and restaurant. We'd ordered appetizers in steam trays and put $500 on the bar. All our friends came. It was well less than $1000 for the whole thing. We discouraged gifts (got a bunch anyway) since by the time you're our age, you have all the appliances and artwork/decorations you can ever need.

I just wanted him the same color as the bridesmaids Iand that I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or insecure in their outfits and I was giving people free reign on if they wanted to wear a dress and if so what style as long as they were all in the same color. and he got pretty emotional and said that his older sister more or less kicked him out of her wedding because he couldn't wear the dress she picked out because he had a breakdown when he put it on and obviously that rly hurt him.

I am triggered as a photographer by that "if we get divorced thing." This is exactly why client contracts exist. You are paying for the services rendered day of the photoshoot and for editing done to complete said photoshoot and the final products. If you break up with your boyfriend in between the time I took the shots and you get them (happened!)....guess what, you do not get a refund!!! I don't care if he cheated on you and ruined your life and your dreams and you just can't bare to look at the shots of you kissing and holding hands....not...my problem....and also see your contract or see my lawyer.

It seems so weird to me to ask for a refund after the fact. Photographers donate their time, services, and skill to take the photos. None of that can be regained so obviously they should be paid for that, and not have to refund anything.

[@rustinstardust2094]

There's only one case in which I'd approve of giving the money back: you've probably heard of the couple who put down a deposit for their wedding photographer, and before the wedding the gf/wife-to-be died. The guy asked for his deposit back and the photographer not only refused but got pretty nasty about it. I think I remember reporters looked into him and he wasn't a trained photographer and his pics were awful.

In my country tradition we don’t have many brides maids, only one and asking for presents is considered rude. We asked our guests not to buy flowers but to give that money to charity of they are ok with that.

[@LoveShakesMyHeart]

We also told our bridesmaids and brides man to wear whatever they wanted. And our officiant. And everyone else. Had the wedding in my parents’ yard and cooked all the food except the cake ourselves with family’s help. Didn’t ask for gifts either, and outside of family only one person gave us one and it was a very thoughtful gift that they happened to have anyway - a first edition of a book we both loved that they thought we would enjoy. Our wedding was perfect and we had multiple people tell us it was the most fun they’d ever had at a wedding.

[@cynthiawilkins3149]

Yeah. I picked out a few dresses and asked my bridesmaids individually if they liked any of them. The most expensive was $36. Most were under $15. I offered to pay for them, and I told them that if they wanted to wear something they already had, that was fine, too. I was whatever the opposite end of the spectrum is. I was a little too laid back. Family and bridal party had to push to get any specific direction, which wasn't good either. There has to be a middle ground 😆

Same here man. At my sisters wedding, her friends group came up with the idea that since 3 of them worked as stage costumers and makeup artists, to have everyone of their age and younger go as Pirates. And then some of the older folk got wind of it and wanted in. Our 90 year old Great Grandfather who fought in and survived 2 World Wars came dressed as a Pirate to the one and only Great Grandchilds wedding he was able to attend (died 2 years later).

Instead of a wedding, desire the love of your life and a true partner. Weddings are pretty much a BS overpriced money making industry, hyped up to make people feel like they have to keep up with the Jones’. A good man will come along, just wait.

45 and still waiting. To the young....be actively looking, waiting for him to knock on your door doesn't happen. Trust me.

[@smartnsassy7885]

@@user-jy3zl2vp4b I agree!! Sorry, I didn’t really mean wait for a miracle. I mean wait for the right one but also actively look. After so many bad relationships, I sat down and made a detailed list of the things that were important and things that didn’t matter to me. For example, I really wanted someone with a steady job, a decent vehicle, an ability to spell and someone who is kind. Those were must haves for me. However, I was ok with him not having a full head of hair and having children. By the time I was 36 and looking seriously, ruling out men with perfect hair and kids would have seriously cut down the pool of good and available men. Anyway, after I got my list together, I started an online dating profile. I made it clear in my profile the basic things I wanted. I said if you don’t meet this criteria, please do not bother to reply. I also asked them to write back with what was important to them. The ones who wrote back with lewd comments were deleted and blocked immediately as were people pressuring me into meeting that day. Also, if men popped in and didn’t meet my basic criteria, delete. Gradually, there were several people of interest that I communicated with for a few weeks at a time but as soon as I saw one of my red flags pop up (one guy wanted bus fare to be able to come meet with me) I nicely said no thanks. I kept on this pursuit until I eventually met my current husband. We wrote these long emails back and forth for three weeks getting to know each other. Eventually we started talking on the phone and eventually had our first date. He met every criteria on my must have list. Later on, he told me he loved me before even meeting me in person. So my advice is to work at dating like it’s a job. Figure out what’s realistically important to you, don’t even accept people one toe into your life until you already know they meet your basic criteria. When I got to a certain age, I realized how much time I had wasted with good looking boys who really weren’t relationship material. So write down your list and if these people don’t match it, NEXT!!! Good luck with the ❤️ search and be careful out there!!

[@madilynanderson2497]

My thoughts exactly! The only things me and my husband were not compromising on for our wedding was the date and the location. We wanted to get married on February 21st and we wanted to be married in our church's temple. Everything else was lovely and turned out great, and our families helped so much, so it didn't really matter when little details got changed around to fit our budget and schedule and the amount of work would be needed. If it was too hard, too expensive, or too time consuming then it didn't really need to be in the reception. And what we did do was lovely and it was a great day and that's all that mattered. We didn't even do matching bridesmaid dresses because I kind of don't like that concept. I told my sister's and soon to be sister in laws that of they wanted a new dress they could pick whatever they wanted and whatever price and color, and as long as they loved their dresses (and would hopefully want to wear them again so they could get some good use out of them) that I didn't care what they wore, and one of my sister's actually wore a dress she already had and they all looked beautiful. I think it's great that weddings can be this big massive celebration and how elaborate and creative people get with their weddings, but I think once the wedding is the only thing you think of and is damaging your relationships with your friends and loved ones that you may have gone too far and lost the focus of what a wedding is all about, you marrying someone you love and sharing that happiness with your other loved ones. The day doesn't have to be perfect in every detail to be a perfect memory of a day.

Regarding the hair color ones (only in the case of the bridesmaid - the one about the guest was f***ing ridiculous lol), I actually had this requested of me as a bridesmaid from my bride, and I didn't mind complying at all. Her and her fiance's family are East Asian and pretty conservative. She's also a super Type A Virgo lol. She never demanded it of me, but she gently requested if I would be willing to keep my hair my natural color rather than having my signature seaweed green color that I'd had for the past 6 years. It was also less about the day itself, and more about the pictures that would live on forever - especially the ones that would be shared through her entire family, including members who lived overseas and who were SUPER traditional. Maybe the difference was in the way she asked and the fact that she is an INCREDIBLE friend to me of 15 years, but it would've hurt me more to show up with green hair knowing how upset it would've made her, so it was easy for me to do that for her. I also could clearly imagine her family berating her about how ugly the pictures were because of me - which doesn't bother me at all, but I knew it would wear down on her spirit after everything she had already been through with the wedding. Not gonna lie though, I REALLY missed the green and would google people with green hair every few days just to longingly look at them and live vicariously through them in anticipation for the day I would finally be able to dye it again. XD But it was definitely worth it.
