Worst Bridezilla You've Met?

Once she had her other 3 BM's set, she started posting religiously on FB different articles from wedding websites, tagging them in it, with titles like "10 things the BM's are required to do", and so on. She even tagged the GM in similar articles! I was just like, I am so glad I dodged that bullet. I cannot even imagine.

Who's the worst Bridezilla you've ever encountered?

One to remember.... she bought 4 different wedding dresses because she couldn't make up her mind. Demanded that daddy pay up for all 4. The same bride was beyond particular about BM dresses. Finally found what she wanted 3 months before the ceremony on a a sale rack. Bought the dresses not even concerned about size because they were "a good deal". Alterations to the dresses for each of us cost 2x what she paid for the dresses (and guess who paid...).There was more ridiculousness; however, the patina of time has taken its toll. Probably best that I forgot the rest of that nightmare...

My FMIL. She had a two day wedding, ignored FH and I except to scream about what decorations she needed placed, and was a raging bridezilla the whole time.

FH and her already had a difficult relationship, but I'm pretty sure he's done trying after that whole fiasco.

My SIL, who is actually a decent person now, but who was spoiled rotten as a child and married my brother before she had a chance to do much growing up. There was a lot of sobbing over little details, including one full on temper tantrum (on the floor, screaming that she wanted her 'mommy', wish I was joking) because the napkins she ordered weren't the right shade of coral to match the BM dresses. I dropped out of the WP early because I just couldn't stand it. Luckily, she's had a chance to mature, and she's apologized to me and the rest of the family so many times about her bridal misbehavior.

I don't have any stories. I have only been a MOH once and it was my sisters wedding and I was the only one too. She didn't care just said to wear a black dress and show up. I did just that.

These stories are great tho definitely my favorite thread of the day.

My aunt. I was her flower girl when I was ten. As we were walking to the car to take us to the church, I accidentally stepped on her veil. The comb dug into her head and she got LIVID. She then made me and my cousin (7 years old at the time) to stand up during the entire ceremony (Catholic) to punish me/us.

Oh my gosh! I'm so glad I've never had to actually feel the wrath of a bridezilla. I think my friend probably got seriously intense. She was even posting articles about how the bachelorette party should be. I was like, wtf, let your girls do their thing and stop dictating!

Everyone's stories definitely show they're out there!

A friend from high school who was getting married because her boyfriend had knocked her up right out of high school and "made" her drop out of college (she had a full ride scholarship at one of the hardest colleges in California to get into and family said they'd help with the baby so she'd still go to school) my best friend and I were 16 and her bridesmaids while her 20 year old friend was MOH. We found matching dresses but since she wanted MOH to wear gold and me and the other bridesmaid to wear red (school colors she was a cheerleader so I guess we had to dress spirited) and MOH couldn't find a gold dress to match ours even though they were going to be different dresses anyways..... she let my friend buy the red dress and said I'd have to go shopping without her some other time and get THE perfect red dress..... sending photos over text wasn't common in ALL phones then so this was difficult for me. I singlehandedly had to perfect the "Bachelorette" party/Xmas party and make sashes and buy crowns for everyone.... at 16... on top of finding a BM dress she would approve of without her. She never told us we were getting our hair done at a Salon until the morning of while driving us over there and our moms had to come over and pay since we didn't have enough moolah at 16 for a $60 hairdo for a wedding. Then at the reception in this podunk hillbillie shack in the middle of nowhere in our county she had forgotten to mention to all the guests that they had to pay for their own food.... this included us in the bridal party and her aunt ended up paying bc again... we were 16 and weren't told before hand when asking repeatedly what we had to pay for.

Almost forgot her trying to kick me out 2 days before bc she didn't Iike my high lights....

I did not get the pleasure of going to my aunts wedding but my mother said she was awful. It was in Las Vegas and she had her rehearsal dinner at a restaurant that no one knew how to get to. My mom was there without my dad with my two sisters one being 8 and my other being under 1. She didnt talk to her side of the family the whole time and i guess was just a royal bitch! I was happy i missed out on this. I love my aunt dearly and things are fine between the family now but i dodged a bullet.

An old friend that I no longer talk to asked me to be a BM in her wedding.

She sent us all (11 BM and 1 MOH) a ton of articles she found online detailing all of the things we were expected to do and what we were to pay for.

She decided that we were all going to pay $400 each for a dress that she picked out from one of those Chinese ripoff websites, and said that we needed to order the matching shawl. But we weren't allowed to wear the shawl during the ceremonies (yes, she had 2 wedding ceremonies because her venue couldn't accommodate all of her guests at one time.) or the reception. I'm still not sure why she wanted us to buy something we weren't allowed to wear.

She planned her own bridal shower and bachelorette party - both of which were in completely different states that none of us lived in, and completely ridiculous/over the top - and told us that we were going to pay for everything.

All of this was said/decided before she had a set wedding date. As soon as she picked a date that was 4 months away, I lied and said that I had to attend a family member's 50th wedding anniversary party that day....it had already been planned for months, etc., so sorry.

Haven't spoken to her since. No regrets. ETA: Details and spelling.

Oh man that sounds exactly like my friend. Honestly I didn't even go to her wedding after I ducked out. I really couldn't as I had taken a new job and she hadid a Friday wedding, which required me to fly to. I couldn't take the time. But I don't regret it.

An old friend had pretty much dictated everything with no regard to budget. Her attitude was "if you can't afford it you should have said no to being a bridesmaid." Thankfully I had a job at that time but still wasn't rolling in dough. She wanted a weekend in Atlantic city and was specific about the hotels and activities (of course highest end cost wise) for the bachelorette party. The shower had to be at a certain hotels restaurant, which again was expensive. She grew up with money so didn't think it's weird that we weren't in the same boat and couldn't pay for everything ourselves and pay for her part. She also sent us weekly emails regarding the bridal party. Topics included what gifts were acceptable to give her as a group bridesmaids gift, what hairstyle and shoes is required, how makeup should be, and of course she picked a very expensive (and uncomfortable) dress without regard to getting our opinions or budget. For the makeup we had instructions like no contouring and certain shades of lipstick. All of this were out of our pockets as well. The day of the wedding required us having to be there at 5am for a 5:30pm ceremony so we could all get ready together. She had 3 mua's and hairstylists for 5 of us. It took them very little time even after she made certain girls redo either their hair or makeup. Manicures and pedicures in certain shades were required even though we wore long dresses and nobody would see the shade of nailpolish or the 4inch matching heals. We spent the entire day (till photos) waiting in the hotel room since she didn't want anyone seeing us before the wedding. Our gifts? Props for the wedding day like UGLY clutches and necklaces.

We were very good friends till she turned bridezilla and we (along with the rest of the bridal party) no longer talk to her. That wedding easily cost us close to $3k each before wedding gifts for them. It was bad. Eta: As a result of this I have tried to give my girls the opposite experience. Lessons learned!

Omg! Pp that one takes the cake!

My brother ex wanted me as a bridesmaid forbtheir wedding years ago. I accepted because we were friends before they got together. I told her my budget which was $300 for a dress, being 19 that was an accomplishment itself. I had been dating the same guy for 3 years and was still with him, he was not part of the BP. When we went dress shopping she asked when my BF would be getting fitted for his suit. I told her she was just wearing his normal dress clothes. She threw a fit and said he HAD to get fitted for a suit since I was a bridesmaid or it wouldn't look right during the reception for us to sit together. I asked her if that meant he was now part of the BP and they just hadn't asked, she had the nerve to say "of course not, why would I want him in my wedding?". I just told her sorry but he will jusy be wearing his normal suit like the rest of the guests. She went nuclear right there and said I was not only out of the wedding but not invited. Megabridezilla and I'm glad my brother got over her demanding crap, dumped her 6 months into planning.

I've only been in three weddings. Growing up an Army Brat means you're probably not near your friends when you/they get married.

The first was my sister's & I was 18. She didn't live near me, so I wasn't party to any of the planning. (Other than mom & I making all the dresses.)

Second was my third cousin's. Not even sure why she asked my sister & me, as we weren't close. I think her mom made her/she wanted a large BP. Only 19 or 20 then and was not included with any of the pre-wedding stuff the other BM's did. We did all our own hair and make-up & I don't recall any gifts. (This was the late 80s, so things were probably different then.)

Third, I was the only attendant in a close friend's wedding. She wasn't a bridezilla, but her wedding was the single most awful event in my life. The sheer chaos and after-drama was mind blowing.

All three taught me what NOT to do for my own wedding.

I was told to get a spray tan so no one looked "like a ghost up there."

"Not required", but then she flipped when I told her no.

@m... I'm in the same boat right now with a wedding I'm in this year. The BM dresses are light gray. All of the girls are very pale. I about choked on a sip of water when I was told that tanning would be required for all BMs. What ended up happening when you said no??

My former best friend demanded that me as MOH pay for her entire shower and bachlorette party, and suggested that I open a credit card if I couldn't afford to do it out right. I was less than a year out of college in my first job, so even if that wasn't a crazy as fuck suggestion I literally could not afford it. She also had the nerve to tell me when I told her I couldn't do all that on my own that my dad could help me.....WTF. When I suggested that the other BMs her two sisters and a friend help me split costs she said her sister had 3 kids and couldn't pay for anything and my dad has money anyways so she didn't see the problem. I've definitely posted about this experience on here before so some of you might already know this story but still WTF. oh just an extra side note 5 min after saying I do she cussed out her husband f words and all in front of the entire wedding party because his parents were greeting guests and not there at that second to take pictures....puke

My half sister (who I no longer have contact with). She demanded my (at the time) down to my waist stick straight and super thick hair be curled into ringlets. Smoke literally came off my hair for an hour as they curled it and even then it was straight again before the wedding was even over. Plus she bought my BM dress without me there off a clearance rack 2 sizes too small and when I told her it wouldn't fit she told me to "just lose some weight before the wedding". I was 12. I had to wear a girdle and sobbed. Had it happened later and I was older I would have told her to go fuck herself but at the time I wasn't a strong enough person to do that. Kinda wish my parents had stepped in.

My colleagues daughter was part of a wedding party awhile back and the bride asked if she could slap on a crap of make-up on her face so her freckles won't show - I just thought that was insulting.
