Crazy Brides

Weddings are meant to be a time of joy and a celebration of love. A couple getting together surrounded by their friends and family, declaring their love and making it official, is certainly something beautiful. But sometimes, it's not that simple. Throw in a bridezilla, a mother-in-law who wears white, and lots of alcohol, and you've got yourself a bit of a sh*tshow. But what's a wedding without some drama, right? Check out these wedding stories that are so bad they deserve all the shaming they can get. I know I'm cringing reading through them!

Most brides dream about being the center of attention on their wedding day and want to be the show stopper of the whole event. And most people know that they should never look more extravagant than the bride not to steal her thunder. But what happens when the bride doesn't make much of an effort, and the guests do? The guests end up looking nicer than the bride, which throws the whole balance off. One woman was in that exact situation at her cousin's wedding and got accused of upstaging the bride by her family, and she took to Reddit's Am I The A-hole to ask if she was in the wrong. Redditors jumped to her defense, telling her that it's not her fault the bride chose an understated look and that she should dress as fabulously as she wanted. Here's her story.

Planning a wedding really brings out the worst in people. It's actually quite beautiful when you think of it. The woman you propose to may not be the same woman that you see barking orders at your close friends on the day of the wedding. But it's really for the best since you're about to say all that 'In sickness and in health' mumbo jumbo, so at least you will be able to get to know their crazy side before tying the knot.

But, as always, there are Bridezilla's who introduce a new level of insanity and need to be taken down.

Getting married is a big deal. A lot of thought and planning goes into the event. Many of us, men and women, begin fantasizing about what it will look like from a suspiciously young age. It's a desire that keeps us motivated even when we experience so many disaster dates on the way. But in general, it's something we look forward to experiencing, and some of us even get to do it more than once. 

A Reddit user asked the 'Am I The A-hole' community if she was in the wrong for asking to come to her friend's wedding late since she planned it to be exactly one year after her mother's passing. There is clearly so much to unwrap here.

Like I said, weddings are definitely a big deal, and it's ideal to be surrounded by your closest friends. But if that's important to you... maybe don't plan it on the anniversary of your best friend's death. Just a tip.

Weddings are stressful to plan; you want everything to be perfect for your special day. After all, you (hopefully) only have one wedding and you want to get it right! But sometimes the stress can get the better of the bride-to-be which can make them a little, or very unreasonable. One bride who insisted one of her guests cover up her tattoos and dye her hair (at a great expense) because her look "clashed" with the aesthetic of the wedding has been shamed in a bridezilla-shaming Facebook group by the guest. Check out her unreasonable request below, as well as how Facebook users jumped to the guest's defense. 

Having a wedding is a big deal. The families throwing it often put a lot of time, effort, and money into planning a seamless event for the guests to enjoy. That being said, do the guests really owe the bride and groom anything more than their attendance? Sure, it is common to have a wedding registry, but should it be conditional?

Sometimes after so much planning and stressing, it's almost inevitable that someone will lose their mind. This is what appears to have happened to this 'Bridezilla' who insisted on her guest buying her items such as designer bags, expensive makeup, basically, anything totaling up to (but no less than) 400$.

Someone shared her list of expectations on Reddit, and not surprisingly, people sure did not approve.

There is a special place in hell for Bridezillas. Sure, it's your wedding day, and you want everything to be perfect. But that doesn't justify acting like the devil reincarnated, which some brides would do good to remember. From throwing tantrums when they don't get their way to insisting the bridal party spends obscene amounts of money on the bachelorette and bridesmaid dresses, there's something about wedding prep that brings out the worst in some people. When you're stressed, they say that you take it out on the people closest to you, which, when it comes to weddings, usually means the bridesmaids. Here are some shocking tales of Bridezilla weddings that bridesmaids were involved in, proving that Bridezillas are next-level crazy.

Everyone loves a good wedding for the obvious reasons; love, open bar, and cake. But one thing that everyone secretly loves more at a wedding is some drama. And no one has access to the behind-the-scenes wedding dramas more than the staff who work the weddings. These wedding planners, photographers, and bar staff share the crazy things they witnessed at weddings when they realized the marriage was doomed from the start.

For the most part, weddings are beautiful occasions, remembered for all the right reasons. But sometimes, newlyweds can be so horrendously awful that "till death do us part" has the guests wondering if that refers to them as well. An AskReddit thread asking people to share their stories of the cringiest things they've seen a bride and groom do for their wedding has revealed some truly socking tales, making us wonder if true love isn't just a front for 'pure psycho'. We'll let you be the judge of that; scroll through and watch your mouth drop to the floor!
