This Literally Just Happened - "I Want My Own Wedding Year"
YOU GET ONE DAY. ONE. NOT THE WHOLE YEAR.
“Lose Weight If You Want To Be My Maid Of Honour”
Wedding planners like Kaitlin regularly deal with demanding clients. As she told Bored Panda, such behavior usually comes from people close to the couple, like parents, siblings, and entourage members. They usually have unwelcome opinions, which Kaitlin says frustrates the couple and makes them feel stifled.
“Your wedding opinions will absolutely matter when planning your own wedding, but when your job is to support another bride or groom, kindly put those opinions to the side,” she said.
Just When You Think The Bridezilla Requests Can't Get Any More Ridiculous
I'm a maid of honor in my friends wedding. She goes by her middle name which is Rachel... My first name is Rachel. I am honestly unsure how to answer. Like ma'am I'm not changing my name for your wedding.

Wedding ceremonies are monumental life events, and Katilin says its magnitude is likely why people can act unreasonably. However, you can prevent such tense moments from arising, and here’s her advice.
“Have plans in place for everything, so that if someone tries to throw a wrench in the works, you have a backup,” Kaitlin said.

Like people in customer service, handling difficult people is part of the job description of being a wedding planner. Kaitlin has her own method of handling these personalities: setting clear boundaries.
“Their own personal drama is NOT your personal drama, even if they try to make it so,” she explained. You can care deeply without sacrificing your sanity for what, at the end of the day, is still a job.”

Entitled Bride To Be
Let’s hope your finance comes to his senses & dumps your cruel, shallow a*s.
Yes, there is an unbearably ugly person in the wedding party. But no, it's not the best man..
Not a woman but believe me, calling off the wedding would be doing everyone a favor, not just yourself...
No support from this fellow woman, toots. You've got to navigate your own empty, sterile, meaningless world by yourself. Let me know how you manage when you discover real stress because there's plenty waiting for you just down the road there.
This is all some form of societal mental illness. How have so many people lost sight of weddings being about celebrating relationships rather than creating a 2D image? Treating a woman’s appearance as a public commodity as a society has led to some people viewing others as commodities. It’s superficiality at a truly sick level.
What an absolute POS he's marrying! The fact that this PRECIOUS friend spent that much on he's bachelor party shows how much this friend loves him! This woman he's marrying is probably one of those people who thought nothing of being a bully in their life!
Tbh they both sound awful, her for being controlling and shallow as fûck and him for only caring about how much money his friend spent on his stupid bachelor party. I mean had he even defended his friend had he not spent 10k on his bachelor party?
I understood that as the last desperate try to reason against the bride.

Have a reasonable wedding with friends and family and the fact this person thinks that another human being is anything but a true beauty of nature. Sure you can find others unattractive but to cut someone else out of the wedding all together means this marriage is done to only last a month. "Bridezilla moments" are just an easy way for people to know you're a psycho b***h.
"Listen, will you tell your close friend that your soon-to-be-wife says he's too short and ugly to be your best man? Thanx!" There, I fixed it for you. Personally, because I enjoy stirring the sh*t, if I was the groom I'd say sure, right after you tell your maid of honor to go to the back of the line with her horse face. ...Ohhhh, you don't wanna insult your friend that way, and I'm a horrible person for saying that to you?! That's weird
Yup you and your "fellow women" should definitely call off that wedding.
Is it that ridiculous consept that bridal party iincludes closest and dearest friends, not best looking ones? I hope this groom ditches the bride but keeps his friends.
For many people, living in the internet age means wanting to look good for the ‘gram. Because of this, Carson says people are now heavily focused on turning their weddings into fashion events.
As he points out, some guests may feel hassled by outfit requirements, adding to the already hefty cost of attending a wedding. Therefore, brides and grooms should expect some attendees to “go rogue” and ignore the guidelines.

How Dare Someone Be Pregnant At My Wedding!! I Understand Not Wanting To Host Events, But The Anger At Grandparents Buying Gifts And The Me!!!! Attitude Is So Entitled
Reality TV and social media influencers have created a society of narcissists who think the world revolves around them. A culture that worships nobodies, in turn making nobodies feel entitled to the same adulation. It's grotesque.
We’d like to hear from you, readers. Have you experienced entitled behaviors from brides and grooms? How did you handle them? Share your stories in the comments!

Setting unrealistic expectations could be a sign of pre-wedding stress. It’s likely a result of the hyperfocus on making things “perfect” and running according to plan. According to psychologist Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman, managing expectations could relieve stress.
In an interview with Brides, Dr. Sherman suggests aiming for excellence rather than perfection to help manage expectations

You may read screenshots of people posting their Venmo accounts as a request for a cash gift. A 2023 registry study by The Knot revealed that 74% of wedding registry creators prefer to receive money from guests instead of traditional utensils and other home starters.
Some couples use the cash to fund their honeymoons or shoulder expenses for their first homes.
Ah Yes. Someone Potentially Dying At Your Wedding Is A Much Better Idea Than Simply Not Having Seafood For One Day
It is definitely more important that you have a prawn, screw your friends health, roll them under the table when they collapse so they are not a trip hazard for others. Ffs.
This Is As Tacky As It Gets.... Not Even A "Buy The Bride A Drink" Just $$$ Pls
I always wonder if these things are intended for the wedding guests and just haven't been erased yet or are targeting randos? Tacky either way, but the former seems far less bad IMHO
Not As Bad As Some, But Definitely Up There
Re: "No Apple watches" What's your policy on longcase clocks?
According to events director Bryce Carson, this trend has occurred over the past decade. But as he told Fortune in an interview, it isn’t always a cash grab.
“Couples are getting married a little bit older in life. They’re already combining their homes,” he explained. “They do not need two sets of everything.”
How Dare Someone Else Get Married During A Covid Bride’s Wedding Year!!!
Some years ago, it was *my* day; now, it's *my* year. Soon, this flock of imbeciles will demand *my* decade. The biggest problem, in my opinion, is this trend is growing because people are paying too much attention to their invented dramas. If we just told them to f-off the moment they start with their unhinged demands, they would stop. No, I couldn't care less about your wedding, your dress or what colour you sister in law's dress is. Nobody cares. Really. We couldn't care less.

The Sense Of Entitlement Is Strong Here, Even With A Significant Portion Of Their Expenses Paid For By Family
I've been to a lot of weedings of my freinds and we never ever had that kind of s**t. But that's Germany for you. The weddings industry in the US is a scam.
If you think the weddings industry is a scam, you should see the funerals industry.

Load More Replies...I'd far rather have a perfect marriage than a perfect wedding, and save up money for a house deposit rather than spending a bomb on just one day.
Since we've moved on from when men and women didn't leave home until they married, and only he worked, I'm amazed that weddings still appear to be so important for people. We spent £120 on ours. I would have thought that the younger generation weren't so obsessed with showing off that they've bagged a husband...and they moan about not having enough money to buy a house, but spend 25k or more on a party. Absurd.
Where are the groomzilla's ?? Where are the blokes shouting MY wedding. Why don't I see a man asking powertools from a specific serie? Which guy gonna demand free BBQ for all and allows only beer straight from the bottle (beer from cans will be tolerate but only if is it's stronger) !!!
I know these are just a tiny number of people who are getting married so they are a blip on the map, but honestly I expect they'll run out friends really fast for these types of requests
My wife and I were married at a small, inexpensive wedding chapel on the beach. Her dress came from a thrift store, and she was beautiful. (Still is, 22 years later) Had the reception at home, entered our marriage free from stress and debt.
Nice! Hubby and I had ours on the patio of our favorite pub. Invited all our friends to a "get-together". No dress code, no gifts, no stress. Only friends who knew ahead of time were the ones acting as witnesses and the one who was officiating. Pub provided complimentary champagne, we paid for food, and friends bought their own drinks. No stress, all fun!

I’m reading this on Thanksgiving morning in the US and it’s given me a lot to be thankful for, honestly. Mostly thankful that an isolated childhood led to enough reclusive tendencies that I didn’t absorb this cultural programming. But also thankful for the laugh, half of these were so bad it was like satire.
