Every woman dreams of a perfect wedding, but the pressure can turn brides into bridezillas. Here are five jaw-dropping stories from Reddit about outrageous bridal behavior.
1. Silent Bridezilla u/ajlawford: My best friend of 15 years became a silent bridezilla. She didn’t want my input on anything, even though I was her bridesmaid. Despite traveling to her wedding, I was criticized by her sister for not being involved enough, even though I was exhausted from travel. I was also criticized for not giving a gift, even though being a bridesmaid was considered my gift. After months of mistreatment, I cut them out of my life.
2. The $25K Loan u/sojadedblond: A friend demanded a $25K loan from her fiancé, threatening to leave him if he didn’t comply. She lied to his parents about their honeymoon costs and tried to manipulate everyone around her. After I gently told her she was being unreasonable, she lashed out and cut me off. They divorced 14 months after the wedding.
3. Bridesmaids’ Scam u/ShamedShamingShamer: I was a bridesmaid at a wedding where the bride and maid of honor planned to charge us double for our dresses. They were trying to make us pay for the bride’s dress. Once I found out, I dropped out, and four other bridesmaids followed suit.
4. The Floral Fiasco u/Haceldama: As a florist, I had a bride demand specific flowers for her wedding, even though they required a week’s notice. When we couldn’t fulfill her extravagant order in three hours, she threw a tantrum. She later returned, asking for rushed flowers, and we charged her a hefty fee.
5. Karma Strikes Back u/[deleted]: My friend, the bride, demanded I dye my hair blonde and lose weight for her wedding. The day before the wedding, she called in panic because her bank froze her account due to suspicious spending. I refused to help her, and karma quickly struck.
These stories show how high expectations and stress can reveal a bridezilla’s true colors.
