A wedding coordinator’s candid account of a bride’s outrageous requests recently sparked a wave of reactions online. We’ve all encountered someone who fits the “bridezilla” mold — that person who is excessively demanding, overwhelmed with stress, and fixated on every trivial detail, including the precise shade of her bridesmaid’s eyeshadow. Witnessing such a spectacle can be quite infuriating. However, one bride’s list of requirements has certainly raised the bar.
A Reddit user, under the handle Laika_cat, shared an email from a wedding planner detailing a bride’s extensive demands, complete with numerous spelling mistakes. Among these peculiar requests were stipulations like guests not wearing anything white (or any derivative of white), refraining from checking in on social media until explicitly told, and an absolute ban on speaking to the bride at all (emphasized in all caps for added drama).
To truly grasp the full magnitude of her stipulations, one must see the entire list. For instance, guests must also be prepared to consume cognac, regardless of preference, and are expected to arrive with a gift valued at a whopping $75 — otherwise, it might be better to skip this wedding altogether.
The comments on Reddit are just as entertaining as the list itself. Many pointed out the absurdity of demanding guests come with minimal makeup and a specific hairstyle, leading to an appearance more suited for a funeral than a celebratory wedding. When comparing the two events, it seems guests might find more joy at a funeral than at this particular shindig.
This situation may appear exaggerated, yet it’s not hard to recall instances of bridezillas from the past. For example, I once knew a woman who experienced two miscarriages while trying to conceive and was told by a mutual friend that she should avoid getting pregnant before her wedding because it would “ruin the pictures” due to her size.
So to all future brides, take a breath. While your wedding day is indeed significant, there’s no need to turn into a total PITA (pain in the ass).
