Note; bride isn’t staying in a tent, just her minions. Dedicate yourself? she sounds a right arse.
This!
I have both been an avid camper and worked in the wedding industry
She is being totally and utterly ridiculous and completely selfish. I'd also bet good money you aren't the only one not fancying staying in a sodding tent either!
Appalling bad manners and lack of consideration for GUESTS.
Having been an objective observer of weddings I can pretty much guarantee once the drink is flowing someone will tell her what a dick she's been.
This nonsense of week long expensive stage and hens, plus another stag/hen at home, plus long weekend away for the actual wedding (which is actually only a few hours even if a long Catholic mass is involved!) is getting waaaay out of hand.
Especially at the moment as people are in financial straits due to covid. She needs to grow the fuck up and stop thinking the world revolves around her
The attitude she has towards anyone not drinking for whatever reason stinks too! It's highly likely a number of guests won't be drinking for any number of reasons especially if as I suspect the venue is arse end of nowhere!
Is it a plot so all the guests look shit and the B&G look fabulous?
That thought crossed my mind too
So why are so many brides so high maintenance these days?
Social media crap! It's the Instagram nonsense which makes brides who would have merely been "tricky" in the past now a total nightmare! I left the industry just as this was all starting and it was already clear a certain type of bride (and Some grooms) were going to have their selfish and narcissistic tendencies made even worse by this influence. My former colleagues and other friends who work in the industry or affiliated businesses (I have 3 friends who are professional cake makers, plus a few hotel industry, DJ's etc) have confirmed this is the case.
I don’t think she is ready to married. She doesn’t have emotional maturity to understand that commitment. If she cannot comprehend how a breastfed baby needs their mother. Marriage is hard graft and based on compromise and communication. I’d not bother tying yourself in knots trying to attend as I doubt it will last.
Also true I'm afraid - what's the groom like?
and I said I will stay over at my mums house the night before, if anyone wants to come we can set up more beds etc
Totally different scenario, you didn't demand, you provided comfortable accommodation and she had no baby.
I had similar before my wedding simply as I was marrying far from extended family (dad and then fiancé both army), ex was also not from there, but it was a fairly central place in the Uk near a major city so was relatively easy for all our loved ones to get there from not only all over Uk but also those who were stationed overseas at this time (best man also army, barely made it in time! Hours to spare)
Result was an impromptu hen night the night before (at which I learned both grans were pregnant when they got married! Lots of revelations that night)
Ffs she compared a baby to a dog???? She's lost the plot!
but, the wedding day is about her. no it's about her marriage. If I were the groom I'd be seriously considering calling the whole thing off!
This trend for "performance weddings" is ridiculous. Fine that the couple get to have venue, food, dress how they like it. But demanding your guests effectively take part in some cosplay you have in your head is just inconsiderate
Totally agree it's way out of hand!
Could you go over with DH and baby and stay in the house? the overnight is at the wedding venue not the brides or her parents home so would likely involve significant financial outlay for the op - very much doubt the bride would stump up!
In my experience bridezillas don't come out of the wide blue yonder this is normally an extension/exaggeration of what they're normally like - something I've gleaned from overhearing their families talk about them and seeing the eye rolls etc.
