Worst Bridezilla You've Met?

All the BM posts are reminding me of the worst Bridezilla I've encountered: my old college roommate (not that you all are -- but it's BM related). She asked me to be a BM. I had a knee-jerk reaction and said yes, but I had just gotten engaged 2 months before her and I immediately regretted the...

All the BM posts are reminding me of the worst Bridezilla I've encountered: my old college roommate (not that you all are -- but it's BM related).

She asked me to be a BM. I had a knee-jerk reaction and said yes, but I had just gotten engaged 2 months before her and I immediately regretted the decision - especially knowing her personality. She's always been *extremely* domineering. So much so I swore off ever going out with her again unless it was just the two of us, after she invited me to a trivia night with her ex and she treated him so horribly in public with his friends.

Thankfully, she re-approached the subject of me being a BM (we're a few states apart), and said she had a "backup" if I couldn't, but that I was her first choice. I took the out and said I didn't feel I could give her the time or financial attention she deserved while planning my own. Right or wrong, I don't regret it. It's honestly a friendship I'm ready to let fade into the sunset. (Cont'd in comments)

    I was part of a bridal party where the bride told us we had to have one color hair (I had highlights) and we could only wear the jewelry she gave us. Meaning she wanted me to take out my facial piercings and tongue ring. At the rehearsal dinner she gave one of the BM a box of hair color. I also didn't realize we were paying for hair and makeup until the morning of.

    @HouseofAllen,

    She flipped, told me I was doing nothing for her wedding, that I didn't care, that I was lying about my eczema because she has psoriasis and get it done so OBVIOUSLY I would be fine, and how I'm a horrible person.

    She's also my SIL.

    It's great.

    I was a bridesmaid for a friend years ago. She made me pay for a makeup artist at the last minute to cover my tattoos so they wouldn't show up in her pics. You could still see the tattoos coming through so it just looked like I had big awkward bruises. I'm pretty sure the tattoos would have looked better.

    My FSIL was quite a trip as her wedding day approached. She told a family friend she didn't want any girls wearing "tight slutty dresses" to her wedding. So the day of the wedding arrived, I was with FH (he was a gm) at their parent's house where she was getting ready. When she saw me she promptly said "I thought I said I didn't want any skanky dresses at my wedding" to which I replied "your bridesmaid's dresses are about half the size of my dress". It was fitted but hardly "skanky" considering it was knee length, had cap sleeves, and wasn't low cut whatsoever. Her bms complained all night that they could barely MOVE because their dresses were so small and tight. Don't get me started on all the other "fails" from her wedding..

    Years ago, I was in a bridal party and the bride demanded that I buy the material and sew her a nightgown and robe to wear after her "bridal, honeymoon bath". I could have easily done it, but I didn't have the time and told her no. She called me every day (at work and at home) demanding that I had to make the set for her because she was the bride and the BP had to do as she said. I called her and told her I did not have to do anything she said, bridal party or not. She fired me. (That made me so happy) Said I wouldn't listen. We were in our 20's at the time.

    I had a girl recently kick me as a bridesmaid 2 days before her wedding for not having the money to have hair and makeup done. She tried to kick me out once before because she thought I was distant and she didn’t want me to go help pick out a wedding dress for her. I already have my dress thankfully I can exchange it. THE BIGGEST BRIDEZILLA EVER. She got offended after she called me names and I tried to defend myself. Some people are just so horrible.
