She was my best friend of 15 years and didn\u2019t ask for much during the wedding planning as there were only two months between the engagement and the wedding day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There was no bachelorette party, dress shopping, gift exchanges, or in-person meetups. We lived two hours away, but she didn\u2019t want my input.<\/p>\n A woman talking to another woman | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n She wanted me to buy a dress, look pretty, and attend her wedding. I thought, \u201cOK, whatever you want. You\u2019re my best friend, and I\u2019m excited you are getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She didn\u2019t even let me help with her hair and makeup on the wedding day. Instead, she just asked me to focus on my hair and makeup. She didn\u2019t trust me to do it well enough because I had short hair. Okay, fine. It\u2019s your day, whatever.<\/p>\n Everything went well until the bride got her sister to call me. During the two-hour-long call, the bride\u2019s sister criticized my every move throughout the wedding, saying that I should never have accepted to be a bridesmaid if I didn\u2019t want to participate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She also reviewed my Facebook profile to note what I had spent my money on (for example, I posted about joining a bowling league for fun). She said I should have spent that money on the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n An angry woman talking on her phone | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The wedding was two days after Christmas, and her family didn\u2019t even celebrate Christmas that year because of the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meanwhile, I was criticized for not spending more time with her, even though I traveled three hours by train the day after Christmas to hang with her the night before her wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Apparently, I should have stayed the night of the wedding to hang with the other two bridesmaids, but I opted to drive home with my boyfriend as I needed to work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Initially, the bride said she would pay for my makeup on the wedding day, but she changed her mind two weeks before the event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She asked me to drive for two hours and buy an expensive makeup brand. Despite knowing I was broke after Christmas shopping, I accepted her wish and purchased the makeup. However, she still thought I had an attitude about this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two women arguing | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I was also criticized for not giving a gift, although the bride said, \u201cBeing a bridesmaid was gift enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After these events, the bride stopped talking to me and blocked me on Facebook. After months of being mistreated, I finally cut my best friend and her sister out of my life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The last time I saw either of them was the wedding day, which was five years ago. I never even got to see the wedding photos. It\u2019s so sad to see long-term friendships ending over nothing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She should have told me about her expectations instead of expecting me to guess them and then judge me for not meeting her demands. She also should have talked to me directly instead of involving her sister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n u\/sojadedblond<\/strong>: A friend took out a $7500 loan for her wedding. Okay, that was not too bad. It was workable and sounded pretty reasonable. Then, she asked her fianc\u00e9 to take out a $25,000 loan. (She forced him by saying she\u2019d leave him if he didn\u2019t.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A woman arguing with a man | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n He had much better credit and got the loan. Then, my friend begged his parents to pay for their honeymoon while they had no idea she had asked their son to take out a loan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They thought her parents were paying for a modest outside wedding at a local garden, and she repeatedly lied to them until a few weeks before the wedding. She kept threatening to leave her fianc\u00e9 if he didn\u2019t do things as she wanted them done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Anyway, his parents were so happy to pay for a cruise (a nice Alaskan cruise) for their honeymoon, but that wasn\u2019t enough for her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She then lied to her parents, saying that his parents were only giving them $250 for the honeymoon. Her parents were shocked as they were paying for the wedding and reception and thought the groom\u2019s family would at least pay for some of the honeymoon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two champagne glasses | Source: Unsplash<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n They encouraged her to get a better job (she worked 20 hours a week as a receptionist at a nail salon) or to at least go full-time at her current job, but she flat-out refused, saying she had so much to do in planning for the wedding\/honeymoon, etc. She was an absolute nightmare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She and I hadn\u2019t talked since high school (we weren\u2019t very close, more like acquaintances), and she had gotten my number from a mutual friend to call and ask if I\u2019d sing at her wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n During that phone call, she told me about everything that happened. She added that she wanted her fianc\u00e9 to take off two and a half weeks instead of the nine days he\u2019d already taken.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When she asked me what she should do about the honeymoon, I told her she was being a little unreasonable and very demanding with people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I said it gently and kindly. I wasn\u2019t just like, \u201cWow, you\u2019re being the worst person ever right now, and your fianc\u00e9 is really stupid to marry you for a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A woman talking on the phone | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I said, \u201cIt seems like you\u2019re putting a lot of pressure on everyone around you to do things your way and only your way. This is Evan\u2019s wedding, too. Maybe ask him what he\u2019d like. Planning this together instead of you alone can be much more fun. You guys will be together for a lifetime, so putting this much stress on everyone, yourself included, just makes things so much harder than they have to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n She was quiet for a few seconds, then said, \u201cUh, okay, I deserve this wedding, and Evan will give me what I want. I don\u2019t want you to sing at the wedding. You\u2019re so mean for telling me I don\u2019t deserve a beautiful wedding!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n When I tried to explain that I thought she could have a gorgeous wedding, just with less stress and anxiety, she said, \u201cYou\u2019re just like everyone else. You don\u2019t want me to be happy! My dad keeps telling me to get a better job, and Evan fought to get the loan, and you saying this makes me want to give up!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After that, she burst into hysterical tears and hung up. It was bizarre. She was like that in high school: very dramatic, mean, and selfish. However, I don\u2019t remember her being that crazy and delusional. They got divorced 14 months after the wedding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n u\/ShamedShamingShamer<\/strong>: Several years ago, a friend asked me to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. There were six bridesmaids and one maid of honor (MOH).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Women sitting together | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The bride had picked out her dress already, one for the MOH and one each for the bridesmaids. The dresses were lovely but a bit expensive at $400 each.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two bridesmaids, including me, were still in college, and the rest had graduated. Since I was still studying, my budget was super tight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Once the bride picked the dresses for us, she asked the MOH to coordinate with us for the fittings. The MOH told us she would pay for our dresses using her credit card because she wanted Air Miles. She asked us to pay her directly and said we could repay her in installments if needed (I definitely needed to). We all agreed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All the bridesmaids picked their dresses together, but I couldn\u2019t join them because of my exams. As a result, I decided to go myself the following week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The MOH said she would pay for mine on the group trip but to call her if there were any issues with the dress. She said she would handle it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Wedding dresses hanging in a shop | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When I tried the dress at the shop, it looked perfect, and I was happy. The shop owner went to attend to another client while I was changing back into my clothes, but she confirmed that we were all set.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As I was walking out of the door, a shop employee yelled, \u201cHey! That will be $200!\u201d I was stunned and totally mortified. I apologized and explained how I thought the MOH had paid for it the weekend before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The shop owner immediately rushed towards us, diffusing the situation by confirming that the MOH had already paid for the dress. When I turned to leave the store, I realized the shop owner had said $200 and not $400.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Long story short, the dress was only for $200. When I confronted the MOH about it, she spilled the beans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A shocked woman | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Apparently, the bride and MOH plotted together to charge us double to help pay for the bride\u2019s dress. I let the rest of the bridesmaids know, and four of us dropped out of the wedding immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n u\/Haceldama<\/strong>: I am a florist, and we once had a bridezilla visit our shop. The bride came with her mother at 9 a.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They wanted to order a bridal bouquet, a mother-of-the-bride Cattleya orchid corsage, a boutonniere for the groom, and six smaller ones for the groomsmen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The wedding was scheduled for noon, and they gave us only three hours to fulfill their order. They wanted everything ready by the time they were done with their makeup appointment at the beauty parlor a few doors down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A flower shop | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The bride was flipping through the FTD sample book and pointing out the style and flowers she wanted. She wanted to order garden roses with long sweeping trails of stephanotis and variegated ivy, all three of which would require at least a week\u2019s advanced order with our suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The bride was shocked when we told her we didn\u2019t always carry extremely expensive and highly perishable flowers. My boss told them that since they didn\u2019t place an order beforehand, they would be limited to what we had in stock and simple styles that could be assembled quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The bride and her mom kept pointing at the book and arguing that we should have those specific flowers in stock. My boss eventually took the book off the desk and tossed it behind the counter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The bride vacillated between tears and petulant whining that we would ruin her big day. My boss, who disliked brides in general, told her she had ruined her day by not ordering flowers before her wedding day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n A sad bride sitting in a room | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The mom tried chewing out my boss for lacking customer service skills. My boss told her she was welcome to go down the street to another florist and ask their flower department to make their order with whatever they had in stock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The mom said she\u2019d do just that and reassured the bride that she\u2019d have her flowers done by the time her appointment was over. Both women stormed out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I figured that was that, but my boss told me and the other girl to start on six simple dendrobium orchid bouts. Meanwhile, she threw together a ribbon-wrapped bridal bouquet with white roses nearly past their prime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Twenty minutes later, the bride\u2019s mother slunk back in and meekly asked if we could still assemble what they needed. We did. We also charged her a huge rush fee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n u\/[deleted]<\/strong>: My friend called me one day and asked me to be her maid of honor. At first, I was thrilled. But then things took a bizarre turn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Two women smiling at each other | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n She started oddly, asking me to dye my hair blonde, then demanded $1000 for her bachelorette. I was shocked but things worsened when she insisted I lose 10 pounds. I was taken aback by her demand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Fuming, I thought about teaching her a lesson. But before I could do anything, karma intervened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A week after our heated conversation, just a day before her wedding, she called me in a panic. \u201cWHAT DID YOU DO??? I just got a call from my bank!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It turned out that her bank had frozen her account due to suspicious activity. In her pre-wedding frenzy, she had made so many extravagant purchases that the bank suspected fraud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A bride screaming at her phone | Source: Shutterstock<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n One of my exes had his account frozen once and she needed advice as to what I\u2019d done to help my ex-boyfriend. I worked as a banker back then. I refused to help her and hung up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Have you ever seen a bride throw tantrums and get too demanding with her family and friends?
