My DP proposed last night 🎉🎊😊

We wont actually be getting married for a few years as we want all our kids to be old enough to take part and enjoy it but I’m super excited and have already started thinking about dresses and colour schemes and venues...

Soo I would appreciate it if you told my all your best stories of entitled and moody bridezillas so I don’t end up turning into one myself (and to keep me entertained as I’m home alone and bored )Smile

This isn't the point of the thread and I don't know any bridezillas! But I just wanted to say don't get hung up on things like that. A wedding day doesn't make a marriage. You are publically declaring your love and committment for one another which is just so beautiful in itself. Wishing you a very long and very happy marriage!

whyareusernamessodifficult · 28/09/2017 22:12

Thank you Grin
I’ve never know any either! Though I’ve not been to many weddings .
I’m really not too worried about it to be honest, just very bored tonight

Do not make a video of you and your Nieces & Nephews where you publicly ask them to be bridesmaids and pageboys. Then take one of the 7 out to buy a dress and tell the others to buy their own outfits. And pay for their own hairdresser. And then parade them once for a photographer and then ask them to leave the evening party early because it's adults time.

My SIL won't look at any of her pictures from the day (she looks beautiful) because she didn't like the fact that it wasn't sunny and says her hair looks dull in the lightning. So she won't let my brother put any pictures (they had a bloody expensive photographer too) up or show them to other people Confused

My friend described the moment she found her wedding dress to me. You stand on a little stage, try it on and tinkle a little bell if it's 'the one'. So she was trying on dresses and every so often she'd hear another bride in a different changing room tinkle a little bell and what a happy sound it was that they'd found their dream dress and everyone would go all misty eyed and happy inside about it.

I laughed BlushGrin

It just sounded SO CRINGEWORTHY. She stormed out in a huff and didn't speak to me for a week.

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 28/09/2017 22:22

My friend was asked by the bride to consider having a breast reduction op ahead of the wedding so her bridesmaid dress would look better.

It’s ok, she didn’t and more impressively didn’t fall out with the bride over it.

RedForFilth · 28/09/2017 22:25

HarrietKettleWasHere that is hilarious! Definitely the most cringeworthy story I've heard in a long time! Grin

LoniceraJaponica · 28/09/2017 22:35

I agree with RedForFilth. A wedding is about getting married, and is only one day.

So many threads I read on here are about bridezillas getting uptight about stuff so that it looks good in the photos. Marriage isn't about pretty photos, it is about making a commitment to your (hopefully) lifelong partner.

Mines is actually a groomzilla!

When my brother was getting married i was about 14 and a bridesmaid. One night I decided to dye my light brown hair blonde (as teens tend to do) I actually really liked it. When my brother came over to my mum's a few days later he went crazy at me, apparently I shouldn't be changing my hair in any way, shape or form before the wedding and I'd better not dye it 'any more crazy colours'. Hmm

WorkingBling · 28/09/2017 22:41

I knew a woman who fell out with her bridesmaid because said bridesmaid booked a trip somewhere hot prior to the wedding. Apparently, her having a tan would totally ruin the photos!!

Musicaltheatremum · 28/09/2017 22:45

I was working 80- 120 hours a week as a junior doctor when I got married. Mum organised it all. I was still working 130 miles away until the day before.i turned up and had a great time.

TurnipCake · 28/09/2017 22:50

I wasn't allowed to have my hair cut for a year because the bride wanted my hair long for the day. I was 12 at the time, had just had my hair done into a lovely bob and wish my mum had told her to jog on

junebirthdaygirl · 28/09/2017 22:58

Anxious lm afraid l would be with your db there. Thinking about what a 14 year old could do to her hair before a wedding would be a bit worrying.

RedForFilth · 28/09/2017 23:32

junebirthdaygirl it was her own hair though, she wasn't forcing him to dye his! Bit silly for the sake of some photos or whatever imo.

bianglala · 28/09/2017 23:38

Was maid of honour. Bride asked me to lose weight for her wedding. And she had these three bridesmaid who flew from their country to attend her wedding. She is very wealthy so is the groom. Both families are worth in the tenths of millions. She made those three girls share a room in the hotel and when they asked for an extra breakfast vouchee because the hotel only gave two she refused! And on the day between the ceremony and evening do we were all starving and she asked the hotel to prepare food only for her family and literally shooed us out of the room! Wedding organizer looked so embarassed. I ended up ghosting her after putting up with her for a few years. Actually none is the bridemaids is talking to her now.

Really Confused

Why, just why?

LoniceraJaponica · 29/09/2017 06:33

junebirthdaygirl why does it matter so much to you?

In the grand scheme of things it really doesn't matter. If worrying about matchy matchy photos is more important than getting married to the right person I would be more concerned about the success of the marriage.

That's fine June, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm entity to mine. I'm getting married this year and, personally, can't imagine telling another human what they can and can't do to their own body, wedding or not I don't think anybody has that right.
