Every woman wants her wedding day to be perfect, but when the stress gets intense, brides can sometimes reveal their true colors. Here are five stories from Reddit about some jaw-dropping bridezilla moments.
- My Best Friend’s Wedding
A woman shared how her best friend, who she had known for 15 years, treated her poorly during the wedding planning. Despite being close, the bride didn’t involve her in much, including dress shopping or planning. On the wedding day, the bride’s sister criticized the woman’s every move, even accusing her of not spending enough money on the wedding. The bride stopped talking to her after the event, and they eventually cut ties. - She Was Mean as Hell
A friend took out a $7,500 loan for her wedding, then forced her fiancé to take out a $25,000 loan. She lied to both sets of parents about who was paying for what, and demanded an extravagant honeymoon. When a Redditor gave her advice about easing the pressure on everyone, the bride became angry and hysterical. The marriage ended 14 months later. - The Bridezilla Tried to Scam the Bridesmaids
A friend asked the Redditor to be a bridesmaid but set a $400 dress budget. The maid of honor offered to pay upfront for the dresses but charged the bridesmaids more than agreed, trying to cover the bride’s own costs. After finding out, four bridesmaids dropped out of the wedding. - The Last-Minute Floral Fiasco
A bridezilla visited a florist with just hours to spare before her wedding, demanding rare flowers that the shop didn’t have. She argued with the staff and even threatened to leave, only to return later asking if they could still do the job. They did, but charged a hefty rush fee. - The Bridezilla Meets Karma
A woman was asked to be her friend’s maid of honor but was horrified by her friend’s demands: dye her hair blonde, pay $1,000 for the bachelorette party, and lose weight. Just before the wedding, the bride’s bank froze her account due to suspicious activity from her extravagant purchases. Karma struck, and the Redditor refused to help her.
These stories serve as cautionary tales about the pressures and expectations around weddings.
