Redditors have swapped stories about their worst encounters with bridezillas - and we can safely say some of them are terrifying.
From the bride who went on a Facebook rant because people went to a babyâs funeral instead of her wedding, to the woman who âkicked ugly people out of a group photoâ, thereâs only one word for these women: outrageous.
Here are their stories.
âOne day after her wedding, a friend I went to school with went on a rampage on Facebook about how none of her friends showed up to her big day and, the ones that did show up, didnât dance or participate in anything at the reception.
âShe blasted everyone and made her wedding party feel like shit because she spent too much money on unnecessary things that no one used (mainly the photo booth and tons of rented costumes and accessories to use in the booth).
âShe made a second post an hour later complaining about all of the people that stopped her to take pictures and didnât let her enjoy her party.
âIt was hilarious to watch the comments flood in from people who went and were pissed and a few requested their gifts back.
âThe kicker here is that a former classmate, someone who has a lot of mutual friends with the bride, lost his infant son earlier that week and the babyâs services fell on the same day as the wedding. Most of the people she was bitching at for not coming had opted to go to the childâs funeral service instead of her wedding. She lost a lot of respect and a lot of friends in two hours.â
âI saw a bride kick ugly people out of a group photo.â
âI worked for a florist setting up weddings when I was 15. I was the lowest person on the totem pole - I had no control over any aspect of the work and I was a grunt.
âI was setting up a wedding with hideous pink and sparkly decor. I remember it pretty distinctly. It was at the art museum on a Saturday, a venue that costs $10,000 to rent. So the bride and groom had money. I was alone at the museum because I couldnât drive yet and I was frequently abandoned. Everything was ready for the reception.
âBride comes in and starts crying and screaming about how the pink wasnât the right shade and her wedding was ruined. According to the contract she signed with my boss, she had to have seen an example of the work she was getting and approved it. She approached me (15-year-old me hiding behind a column because I didnât have anywhere to go) and started screaming at me for ruining the wedding. I hadnât made a single arrangement there. I had no idea how to respond except to say I was sorry.â
âA girl I know, Iâll call her Kate, was bridesmaid at a wedding. On the morning of the wedding, the bride had a full on screaming bitch fit and demoted Kate from being bridesmaid because she had decided that Kate looked too pretty after having her makeup done and the bride wanted to be the prettiest.â
âMy sisterâs best friend is getting married this year. They both work minimum wage jobs yet have reserved tens of thousands of dollars of wedding vendors/stuff.
âShe went on Facebook asking how sheâs going to pay for it and everyone commented telling her to do something simple if they canât afford it. She replied to every comment saying everythingâs booked, itâs just a matter of coming up with the money now. She set up a GoFundMe and no one donated.â
âBride slapped her husband and left him at the alter as he was wearing a red tie instead of a bright pink flowery one that she wanted all the men to wear to fit in with her âpink princess weddingâ.
âShe told him in a text that he had âruined her special dayâ.
âOnly her nephew was wearing the tie, he was a one-year-old.â
âNot to me, but to my sister. Her boyfriendâs sister was getting married that day and my sister came to their house early to help her into the dress. They came out of a room at the same time and the father of the bride wasnât able to see his daughter clearly, so he told my sister that she looked beautiful that day.
âThe bride got offended because she thought her father had ignored her for my sister, and they had to spend an hour trying to coax her out of the room she locked herself into to cry and scream.â

âł[The bride] spent weeks crying to my sister and I that âNo one is happy enough that weâre getting married!â
âShe literally wanted us to call her once a week and tell her how happy we were that she was getting hitched and how lucky we felt to be in her wedding party.
âWhen we went bridesmaid dress shopping, she broke down crying when we chose the less expensive dress, and accused us all of trying to ruin her big day by making ourselves uglier. Yes, uglier.
âThe next day, she called me to tell me I was out of the wedding party because I just wasnât the kind of person she wanted in her wedding. You know, after we bought the dresses. She then invited other people to take mine, and my sisterâs place, in her wedding party, with the expectation that sheâd be able to give them the dresses weâd paid for.
âShe called, screaming that I had ruined EVERYTHING, when she went to pick up her bridesmaidâs dresses and was two short. I had called and cancelled the order, and gotten a refund.â

âMy good friend was getting married and I was meeting her for lunch. She had mailed out RSVPs with stamps included for people to mail back. I called to coordinate meeting up, and said âoh hey, and I have my RSVP right here, I can give it to youâ.
âShe flipped out because I would be wasting the stamp they bought. âDude, just put it in the mail like youâre supposed to!â She was dead serious - furious that I would waste the stamp.
âI still brought it so I could drop it in the mailbox while I was thinking of it - she literally stood there and watched me put it in the mail, addressed to her.â
âThe bride asked me what colour her bridesmaids should wear (I was one.) I told her that given all five of us were redheads, a pale, pastel lilac is the only colour which should be avoided, as it makes us look dead.
âGuess what dresses she picked? Floor length silk, pastel lilac. I assumed sheâd forgotten.
âHer sweet husband later told me, completely nonplussed, that of course the bride has to put bridesmaids in awful dresses because she has to be the prettiest on the day.â
âMy fiancĂ©eâs friend kicked out one of her bridesmaids because she âmight be pregnantâ and didnât want a baby bump to mess up her wedding photos.
âShe also demoted her maid of honour to bridesmaid and made my fiancĂ©e maid of honour because the other girl couldnât rent a car in a timely fashion for her bachelorette.â
âMy sister claimed that I said I felt sorry for her, when in fact I said I am really happy for her. She then didnât speak to me or deal with me the rest of the wedding and turned her party against me.
âIt was unnecessary drama produced for no reason other than to be the victim and even more the centre of attention.
âAll other witnesses, including my father, heard me say I was happy for her.
âThis is after I planned her bridal shower because she called me a week before crying that her maid of honour didnât. This is also after I drove 20 hours straight to get to her wedding so I had the money to splurge on a gift instead of purchasing an airline ticket.â
âSister-in-law told my partner she couldnât bring me to her destination wedding because she didnât want my partnerâs homosexuality to be a distraction on her big day.â
âMy sister-in-law threw a massive fit because my other brother proposed to his girlfriend and they wanted to get married in the same year, but months apart (June vs December).
âShe said it was her special year and didnât want her attention taken, even though they waited three years to get married.
âMy other brother ended up just waiting till January the next year.â
âI used to work in a place that was like a wedding mall of sorts. They sold everything from the dress to the food to the DJâs and video production. It was a one-stop shop.
âThis lady came in and demanded to be refit. She was claiming they made her dress too small. Our staff quickly took her back and started ensuring their measurements were correct that they used to have the dress made.
âNope. She had gained 15lbs since her fitting. My boss said: âMaâam, Iâm not sure how to say this, but youâve gotten bigger. The dress matches the measurements we took of you when you ordered the dress.â
âShe threatened to call all kinds of police and...reporters.â
