Hey guys, it's Charlotte Dobre here and in today's video, I'm going to be talking about something that's been on my mind lately: dealing with a sister who's turned into a bridezilla!
As someone who's been a bridesmaid more times than I can count, I know how stressful weddings can be. But when your own sister is the one getting married and she's acting like a total diva, things can get even more challenging.
In this video, I'm going to be sharing my personal experiences and some tips on how to handle a bridezilla sister. From dealing with her demands and tantrums to navigating family drama, I've got you covered.
I'll also be sharing some stories from other bridesmaids who've had similar experiences and some of the craziest things they've had to deal with.
So, if you're currently dealing with a bridezilla sister or if you just want to be prepared for the possibility, make sure you tune in to this video. And don't forget to leave a comment below sharing your own experiences and tips on how to handle a bridezilla!

Hi, I'm Charlotte Dobre. I'm an actor, reactor, singer and sometimes (not really) comedian. On this channel I do reactions, commentary and occasionally I make a joke or two. I love poking fun at social media, weddings, entitled people, tiktok and OF COURSE petty people. I upload daily, usually 7 days a week, unless life gets crazy or I get lazy. Come hang out, it's a good time.

FYI for brides: When you choose ugly dresses for the bridesmaids, we don't judge the bridesmaids. We judge the bride for having such horrible taste.
Agreed!
People will notice and it will reflect bad on the BRIDE!!
THANK YOU!!! This needed to be said.
Exactly 💅
Sounds like they don’t want good weddings pictures 😂 😂 😂
Amen!
I'm an Indian and everyone is expected to turn up looking amazing at the wedding. If someone looks too simply dressed, all the aunties end up asking why aren't you dressed up? Is everything ok? There is no chance of anyone outshining the bride because she stands out with the colours and the entire look with the dupatta (veil) over her head. I also like how colourful our weddings are, with everyone dancing and having a great time
But no one would wear the bride’s color as that would be a no no. Since our color in the west is white, and many don’t want to spend tens of thousands, it can be an issue here.
We wear shades of red that is the bride's colour. It isn't a no no. Black is considered a colour of bad omen and white is worn at the time of death, so in traditional weddings, those colours are avoided by women. Only difference between bride's dress and others is the veil (dupatta) on her head and sometimes traditional forehead make up. Otherwise there are no such rules
@TheBaumcm I mean, no, the "bridal colour" isn't off limits to guests I'm Indian weddings. And the colour isn't the point. The bridezilla wasn't upset about white dresses, she was upset that her bridesmaids looked pretty
Not to mention the bride has on so much jewellery that it is impossible to out”shine” her in the literal sense too lol. Honestly it’s so weird to hear stuff like this happening in western countries but hey it’s entertaining as hell
thank god we are indians right?...we can were whatever the heck we want
There's a reddit story where a bride univited the grooms sister. The sister was in a car accident. She had to use a wheelchair for awhile(not permanently). The bride didn't want the sisters wheelchair,cast and bandages to ruin the "look" of her wedding. Also,she didn't want the sister to take all attention away from her. The groom canceled the wedding.
Well done, he dodged a bullet.
I would have canceled too. God, what a bitch!
Future, actually current Karen--both bridezillas and Karens think they are always right-customer is always right, bride is always right
At least the attention wasn't taken away from her. Instead, the wedding was!
@@The_Bean No doubt.
I went to a wedding back in 1985 that I still think about every time someone talks about ugly bridesmaid dresses.
Not only were the bridesmaid dresses NOT ugly - they were identical to the bride's dress! White, tea-length 50's style, off the shoulder. Gorgeous. The only thing different about the bride was a larger bouquet and a small veil.
The entire congregation gasped when the procession started because 1. Everyone looked fabulous, and 2. The confidence a woman must have to dress identically to her five bridesmaids.
The effect was amazing.
Sounds beautiful.
That is the most insane bridal story I every heard. Just wow, I have no comment 😮.
I don't consider myself overly confident, but at my wedding all the bridesmaids and the maid of honor had dresses that were the exact pattern of my dress, but they were in solid pastel colors and theirs were tea length instead of floor length - same style, same type of fabric, just different colors and length. I even thought long and hard about which color would look best on which bridesmaid. Mine was ivory and floor length. I can't imagine not wanting everyone at your wedding to look beautiful and feel beautiful. People need to go outside and touch some grass!
Sounds really cool! I'd love to see a picture of something like that.
That's amazing! Especially because it is the origin why bridesmaids even exist: The used to wear the same as the bride to confuse bad spirits.
I have a friend and when she got married her mother in law showed up in a white dress (yeah, one of those). We were all shocked that my friend seemed totally unbothered by it. When we saw the wedding photos we understood why, she had her mother in law's dress photo shopped to the ugliest shade of yellow I have ever seen (yellow is an extremely unflattering color on this woman). I still remember this woman's face when she saw the pictures. Hahahahaha priceless!
this made me laugh so much!
Narc mothers in laws are weird as hell. Like, you've had your turn, ma'am!!!
@@k0ht0p0htalso it gives “I raised the boyfriend I wanted and now this hussy is taking him away to spite me” energy.
Excellent amount of revenge.
Oh that is the perfect petty revenge! 😏
As a nigerian it's a must for everyone to look Amazingly Gorgeous at the wedding and no one can outshine the bride because she will be looking like a freaking Queen! I dont get this western culture of "dont outshine the bride"
@@user-oy3yo7qe6oDressing like you're going to a club is def not the way to outshine someone at a classy event like a wedding anyway!
As someone who is Western, I don't think it is a culture per say since this isn't a expectation by any means. It's just how some people are and they are everywhere, not just in Western countries. You just see it more often in Western countries because posting everything to social media IS pretty much part of Western culture.
Blame wedding movies and TV shows where characters get married... a lot of these media influences solidifies a lot of wrong ideas of what a wedding should be like.
I grew up in a city that has a diverse population of people from many different countries of origin, including Nigeria. I noticed that every Nigerian I met dressed beautifully and took pride in looking their best.
I worked for a printing company and one of my favorite customers was a young man from Nigeria who dressed like he was going to meet royalty afterwards. He was perfectly groomed right down to his manicure, and always smelled great and treated everyone with the utmost respect, whether it was the CEO of a company or the overnight cleaning staff. He had a smile and sincere compliment for people he met. He was one of those rare souls who just made my day better for being in his presence, even briefly.
My boss told me that this man's father was an important political leader in Nigeria and their family was wealthy. That surprised me, because most young wealthy Americans aren't so humble and kind to others as he was. I've wondered if his good manners and grooming are typical of Nigerian culture.
I am Indian and it's same in India also. Everybody wears their best dress and brides dress like Queen.
I heard about a bride who wanted everyone in her wedding wear their most beautiful dress, which was even allowed to be a wedding dress. It made it so it was like a princess wedding (which was the theme she was going for). All the women were wearing beautiful (wedding) dresses and the men all had dashing suits on and the bride and groom had a blast! The bride really felt like it was a princess wedding where everyone was a prince or princess. There's a bride who knows how to have fun and enjoy the moment!
But not everyone has fancy dresses like that
@@dodgyyoutuber9560 true, but basically she told them to wear a dress that made them feel beautiful, so if they bought a nice long dress or a short one that they liked it would be fine too. It didn't need to be a standard princess dress. It was important for the bride that the one who wore the dress felt like a princess. Some pulled their own wedding dress out the closet, some wore their nicest summerdress, others rented a gown and some bought a nice looking evening dress
I’m just imagining a fancy ball, but it’s her wedding. That sounds amazing 🤩🤩🤩
Oh my God I own a wedding venue and I would be so excited to see a wedding like this!
That’s a terrible idea
I love the Reddit story where she asked all her female friends to show up in ball gowns and their own wedding dresses. To lift each other up is BEAUTIFUL and very feminine.
I think she asked that because her future MIL and SILs ordered the same wedding gown as her to show up at the wedding so she did that move so they couldn't stand out from the other guests 😋
@alfredogm4148 that's exactly what she did and that's why she is the goat 🤣
@@alfredogm4148 There was that story, but another where the bride asked everyone in the wedding party to wear white since she'd be wearing pink.
@@nzuria8135That was because the MIL planned to wear white so the bride had everyone wear white and she wore pastel pink instead.
I have to say… the bridesmaid in that first video handled everything with such grace. Between being super supportive despite the uggo dresses and then just eventually respectfully telling the bride she wasn’t attending, as opposed to being bitter, vindictive, getting payback, etc. That girl was exactly who you WANT as a bridesmaid.
And the bride ruined it by being petty she lost a perfect bridesmaid
She was so kind and even after what happened she is still talking so respectful about the bride
This is so similar to something that happened to me! Weddings can be so stressful
Yes! Bad tempers and short fuses run in my family, and I've worked really hard to get past it, but I don't think even I could stay that graceful under such toxic circumstances. This girl is a gem, beautiful, and deserves better friends and all life has to offer.
Petty suggestion everyone on her bridesmaids should send her framed photos of them and their bridesmaids when they get married.
I've never understood how brides would want their bridesmaids to wear awful and ugly dresses... cause they WILL STILL overshadow your wedding because I absolutely will remember the awful dress choices that you forced your supposed "friends" to wear
Exactly! It’s distracting, so people still aren’t focused on you. And no one in the audience is thinking, “Wow the bridesmaids sure picked out awful dresses.” We know who did it and we know why!
Right
I was born with a facial deformity and have had many surgeries. Looking at me you can tell something about my face isn’t quite right. Because of this my best friend of 16 years didn’t want me in her wedding or even photographed at the wedding. I found out about this because I overheard her mother telling someone at a birthday party a week before the wedding and was told by a mutual friend (bridesmaid). I decided not to attend the wedding and instead my fiancé took me out to a museum and a date. I just stopped talking to the bride and never gave her a reason as to why I didn’t show up. I hope she figured it out on her own.
I'm so sorry that happened to you 💜 I'm glad your fiance helped you cheer up!
Ugh, I am glad you overheard that and were able to cut that person out of your life. The disappointment and hurt you felt must still have been horrible. I am in awe of how distorted some people's priorities are, I can't even find the right words for how I feel about this, except maybe disgusted. This and she sounds awful.
You would think she would work it out for herself, however you are most likely being far too generous giving someone like this the benefit of the doubt.
They figure things out alright, but it's usually a story they tell others with themselves always portrayed as some kind of victim.... and you of course must be the villain.
I was cross-eyed during most of my childhood- both of my eyes suddenly swung inwards when I was about 18 months old- over the following years I either had a patch over one eye (post surgery) or wearing milk bottle thick glasses with tape on one lens. I used to be called 3 eyes instead of 4 eyes by the kids at school.
Other than that it took until I was about 12yrs old to substantially correct.
Anyway... there's absolutely NO photos existing of me from during this time. Other than a couple of photos taken at family weddings my class photos from school.
My Grandmother, who was my guardian as I grew up destroyed any photos of me that showed my lazy eyes. I will never fully understand what her thinking was. I do know she wanted to pretend I was "normal".
The left took longer to get straight. Three actually surgeries- muscle grafts.
People swear they can't tell, but I can , my vision is going now I'm older....
I know this isn't the same, but my best friend of 25 years told me I shouldn't get braces to fix an over-bite I had since I was 2 because then I wouldn't look like me anymore & really it's because she wanted me to stay that way because she wanted to always remain the prettiest friend with the pretty smile 😒
@buzzzzzz69 I'm so sorry that she did that. As a grandmother of 15 I can't imagine ever destroying pictures of any of them.
Every time I hear about a horrible wedding story, it makes me feel thankful my hubby and I were too broke to have a wedding and just had a justice of the peace. Rings and all that involved only cost us $300. Been married 16 years now 😊
Tbh I think that's the way to do it anyway. Love that for you. ❤
Going on 40 years here… got married in a $10 dress from Woolworths
Me and my wife just went to a remote island in Denmark. Stayed there for a week and got married there.
No one was invited. My wife wore one of her nicest dress that she had. And thats it. She even refused a ring.
We came home and gave a lunch to friends and family and that was it. Less than 1000 euros for all.
No drama. We are married 6 years now. And best of friends for like 10 years. Still are best friends. (With benefits off course 😅)
THAT is a marriage. Most of these children dont understand the difference between a wedding and a marriage. ;)
We got a minister, a couple who were our witnesses and doubled as our photographers and our moms. I wore an evening gown I already had and held a plastic practice bouquet and we got married in a friend's old Gazebo in the backyard while our group hummed hear comes the bride . Best summer day and great marriage.
My husband broke his ankle 1.5 months before our wedding. He walked down the aisle with his crutches then simply handed them off for the ceremony and pictures. And the thought of his wrapped ankle in pics hasn't even crossed my mind until the moment I'm typing this. People focus far too much on the unimportant details!
I feel like this is a glass-half-full/glass-half-empty kind of thing. E.g. your experience could be described as "oh no, the wedding wasn't perfect", or as "even a broken ankle couldn't stop him from marrying you".
LOL this reminds me of the wedding of a family friend... her hubby had a broken leg and she was pregnant and pretty far along (6-7 months or so), so they made a joke out of that for the pics... we all had a good chuckle.
You know if I was you I would draw a heart on the plaster and write "your daughter and her husband loves you and appreciates you "
My friend fiance wrecked his bike the DAY BEFORE his wedding. He couldn't even stand and had to leave his reception to change his bandages and rest from pain. It's the day that matters not the aesthetic
For my sister's wedding, she just gave all the bridesmaids a specific color, and let us pick out whatever dress we wanted, it just had to be in that color. My friend did the same thing for her wedding too. When I get married, I'm gonna do the same thing.
I think within a narrow color range might also be acceptable? Like, not all dressmakers use the exact same Pantone code for the 'same' shade/color? So long as it's all close enough that you need to actually study the fabric to tell, it should be fine. A little wiggle-room can be a lifesaver~
When my cousin got married we were able to get whatever dresses we liked. Just sent her a picture to approve and then bought them. Was great.
I had mine buy convertible dresses so they could wear it in whatever way felt the most comfortable and they rocked it!
Yes, that's the way to go!! For my wedding, we went shopping somewhere where you pick a color and a style and they make it, I chose the color, and they each chose the style that fit them the best, I wanted them to be comfortable, and they were all so beautiful! Our pictures together are gorgeous and I love them! But then again, I'm a team player, not a solist 😅
That is how my wedding was. Bridesmaids all wore a shade a purple. Groom, groomsmen (and grooms woman), and officiant either wore a purple or purple stripped shirt or a purple accented tie. My main flower was lavender, and my pop-of-color sash was a deep royal purple , so anything somewhat related to anything between the two was perfectly acceptable. It turned out lovely in photos!
My parents stressed me out about having a big wedding and it was affecting my mental health and my relationship with my fiancé so I eloped. I found a notary that could validate the license and perform the ceremony. We had to literally knock on a strangers door to ask them to witness the wedding. It was perfect for us! We just celebrated our 25th anniversary on August 18th. May I add, there’s nothing more exhilarating than getting married at 9pm on a random Tuesday!
yeah, it doesn't matter if a wedding is big or small, as long as it's with the right person :)
that actually sounds like a lot of fun! Congrats on 25 years!!
My grandmother fell on the sidewalk and fractured her wrist one week before my wedding. We were devastated and worried for her health but she pulled through. However she was embarrassed to show her cast at the wedding and kept trying to hide from family photos but i wouldn't allow it. We ended up having some beautiful photos and I'm happy she was with me for my special day ❤
That bride who excluded the guy from the pictures because he had a cast on should talk to ME.
My 10 yr old brother was hit by a drunk driver the week of my wedding, and died the day "before" the wedding. We cancelled everything except the ceremony, and that was wretched to get through.
I would have DONE ANYTHING to have seen my brother IN A CAST INSTEAD OF A CASKET....THE WEEKEND OF MY WEDDING.
Plus, the funeral was the Monday after the wedding,( that was on Saturday). So, it was a really, really HORRIBLE WEDDING, and then a funeral. I hope these wretched girls LEARN some freaking GRATITUDE and to be THANKFUL for what they DO HAVE, instead of demanding everything that they dont have. No one ever knows WHAT time THEY or others HAVE on this earth, and they need to LEARN some gratefulness....for sure.
@dede4004 I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine how hard it was (and probably still is). When I heard the OP asking if they were the ahole for not wanting their brother in the close family pics because his casts were the wrong colours it made me unreasonably angry. Like holy shit, priorities. I am lucky to have both my brothers still (despite one getting in crazy antics causing broken bones and the like), but I have a friend who does not and I know she would have given anything to have had them at her wedding... complete with clashing casts or whatever.
Idk if that OP even realised just how lucky it sounds she was to have him there. Her brother was going through so much as it was and no doubt felt bad enough already, so he was probably so saddened at the exclusion from close family pics.
I use a crutch to get around a very bright colour & large obvious design. I wasn't in my brother's wedding party for his second wedding (he knew I didn't want to be a bridesmaid for a 4th time) in 2019, there are so many pics of me with my almost neon crutch clashing with literally everything & everyone... my brother was just happy I was there (no idea if it bothered his bride...but she is now his ex as she turned out to be awful, so... meh 🤷💀). But I also don't understand why the OP's parents or new spouse didn't say anything at the time. It sounds like she was being petty to me, punishing him because she was annoyed that he had "stolen" their parents attention in the run up to her special day. She said she had let it go, but it really doesn't sound like she had. Especially, because as Charlotte said, they could easily have photoshopped the colours, and I feel like most people know that? Or they could even have found a way to disguise them for the pics. I get being upset about not having your parents there to help with everything in those days before, but at the same time, I would have just been celebrating he was in one piece...and he clearly needed their help more than she did right then. Hell, I probably would have wanted _more_ pics with him, there's nothing like a near miss (or losing someone) to make you appreciate the people you have around: I realised after I lost my dad that I have only a couple of pics of him from like the last 5 years or so before he died, and that makes me sad.
I expect that OP will end up regretting it later, looking back at the pics when she's older and he is in only the group one rather than the ones he should have been in with her and her parents. Who TF puts a colour scheme over family?!
@@dede4004I'm so sorry that happened and for your loss. 😪
The fact she wasted money on 2 sets of bridesmaid dresses because she thought the first pick, _that she picked,_ would outshine her. Waste of money
Yeah, I'd make her pay for those dresses.. that's bonkers.. I would never do that to anyone or let anyone treat me like that.. when I married, I didn't care what anyone wore, just that they came to celebrate us,me and my husband.. now we've been married for 21 happy years!
Something tells me she probably didn’t pay. lol they were probably made by a seamstress friend who was another bridesmaid.
Brides are becoming so obsessed about being overshadowed by their bridesmaids that Walmart stores should brace themselves for a mumu shortage! 👰🏻 👺
NOT THE MUMU
@@CharlotteDobre we may as well accept the impending fire and brimstone of zebra and leopard mumus - the more accessible version of actual potato 🥔 sack! Je t’adore, mon amie. Merci pour tout que tu fais!
Now I'm thinking of a mumu themed wedding. Bride in a white one brides maids in which ever colour. Guests in their choice mumu. Mumosas the works. What's the male version of a mumu? Make it all chill
@@eboniclarke177 brilliant!!! A mumale? We’re on to something here and the mumosas are a nice touch 🥂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My bff was the only non-parent female at my wedding and she's objectively gorgeous. I wanted her to look and feel her best day of (she wore a very nice dress that didn't compete with mine in terms of color/fanciness) and she helped me so much and was an amazing source of support. She's so pretty that my husband got a txt from a friend who wasn't at the wedding saying something like: "of course the bride looks great, but tell me more about the bridesmaid, can I get her number?" 😂 I told the bff about it and said that I'm going to have to get "uglier bridesmaids next time lol." She's married and we had a good laugh about it. Putting your bridesmaids down is awful, those are supposed to be your favorite people. It doesn't matter what they look like, that's your tribe.
I so feel the "I just don't want to be a bride" part. My husband and I celebrated our wedding in our favourite pub and it was just fantastic to have it filled only with peope you love, everybody dressed as they wanted to. It was a wonderful night.
Charlotte is the best medicine for bad days, bridezillas, karen's, entitled people, cheaters and everything in between. Thank God for Charlotte.😂♥️
For real! She helps me calm down after dealing with all these narcissists in the wild, or in your own camp!
I just made a playlist a couple minutes ago just for her videos 😂❤❤ I've been feeling super down lately so I've been binge watching her channel lol
Another amazing video from one of my all time favorite people ever! Yay! Thanks to Charlotte and her amazing team for such wonderful content! Hope everyone has an amazing day! Also my daughter is 7 today an asked me to tell you she loves your videos too! Silly girl is always asking me if I'm watch Charlotte or Joce and if she can say hi! So Hi from JoJo on her 7th birthday! 😂❤
A😊😊😊😊
1000% agree, she's the big sister we all need ❣️
The girl in the first story who was the unofficial bridesmaid is such a sweet friend, she seems anyways. It’s sad when people don’t appreciate that because it’s rare to find someone who will truly consider their friends feelings and be supportive. I have never had a girl friend who actually had my back and was loyal. I would have love to find one someday who is a solid friend like so many of these bridezillas seem to have.
Me either! The only one I had like that ended up only being my friend when she wanted something. I have a chronic illness and she kept asking for my pain medication and using me as a babysitter. The good news is that the kids have found me and we hang out and if they ever need anything I am there for them. "Mom" aka my friend who just ghosted me (her phone was shut off, which didn't help) is now on meth, left her kids (2 are barely adults and one is still in school) and husband to date a dealer. 🤦🏼♀️ I couldn't have kids of my own and can't believe she just walked in away. 😪 I am trying to help the kids navigate this. I have always had better luck with male friends.
I've had ONE female friend in my life who I loved and knew she always had my back. We met in Jr. High and were especially close in our 20s when I worked with her and her husband at their photography/art/advertising business. She was an excellent photographer, I was a graphic artist, and her witty husband was the brains of the outfit who handled PR and a little bit of everything. They honored me by asking me to be godmother to their daughter.
Sadly, Rosie died about 10 years ago and her husband passed a few months later, after Rosie and I had been friend for almost 40 years. Our birthdays were 4 days apart. I'll never have another friend like her. We were both the same kind of weird, and we liked it that way! Every time I hear Tom Waits song, "Bad As Me" I smile and remember our sketchy adventures when we were young. 😏😇 I'll always miss her!
wow the first bride… literally let my bridesmaids pick their dresses with only a few requirements such as sticking to my color pallet & them all being the same length. i wanted them to love their dresses, feel comfortable in them & only spend what they could afford. the day of the wedding i was raving to all of them about how gorgeous they truly all looked! i was so happy about how everything came out & how nice they all looked! like i just do not get being so insecure as a bride that you would want your own friends to look bad. they’re not gonna outdone you babe. so sad to think that way!
My daughter did this! The girls all looked amazing and they were comfortable in what they'd chosen.
idk if it's just me but every wedding i've been to, i've always thought the bride and groom were the most beautiful people there. it's two people so happy and so in love, surrounded by their loved ones, and you can just see that joy on their faces. i feel that's what makes them beautiful and outshine everyone; doesn't matter what they're wearing or where the wedding is
If a bride feels like her bridesmaids' dresses will outshine her own, then she didn't pick the right dress. If you don't feel absolutely stunning and fabulous in your wedding dress, then you're not doing it right.
I attended a wedding where the bridesmaids did outshine the bride. The bride had chosen very classic,elegant light blue dresses,bun hairstyle for the bridesmaids. The brides dress looked like it had been shredded,very chaotic. Her hair was just a mess,completely disheveled. Guest's were whispering:What happened? Is she supposed to look like that? As far as I know,no one questioned her about her choice. The brides parents were beaming. I did over hear her Mom telling a guest how beautiful her daughter was. That guest played it perfect. She responded: Your daughter is such a sweet,caring girl. The wedding and this reception has been great. Then they started talking about other things.
@@lindah3803 I would argue that that isn’t “outshining” so much as it’s “distracting”
@@NanaVonn3 No,in this case the bridesmaids did outshine the Bride. The bride's hair, makeup and the dress were THE distraction. It's hard to describe just how awful she looked. Think the movie Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp. The hair and eye makeup of Mrs. Lovett. The only people that "beamed" in regards to her appearance was her Mom,Dad and herself. Even when the groom 1st laid eyes on her,he looked totally confused. Although he recovered and gave a strained smile. Word went around the reception that when she asked if he was surprised,his answer was Definitely. Evidently she did a twirl and asked if she was beautiful. He told her that her heart is beautiful and that's why he loves her. Like I said, I don't believe any of the guests said anything to her or her parents. Those that I witnessed when the topic of "how beautiful the bride is",commented on the ceremony and reception. They steered clear of talking about the look of the bride.
My SIL made all her bridesmaids wear these white dresses with a black splotchy pattern. They all looked like cows!! Since all the bridesmaids were plus sized, it was plainly obvious it was intentional. It’s this kind of passive aggressive attitude that makes me hate her do much.
Don hate her just remember she felt ugly to all those women. She probably still looked unkempt even next to the women in the cow dresses. Lastly anyone who seen the pictures will know this as well. Lol
My jaw is just on the floor.....
Ugh, that’s horrible. Why is it that these Brides seem to lose any concept of true friendship, or even kindness?
Please tell me the bride and wedding also went along with this theme.... That's the only way I could see this being innocent... Oml...
What a witch!!!
I was married twice. Not once, for even a nanosecond, did it ever occur to me that I didn’t want my bridesmaids to not look beautiful. I never even thought about it until I started watching these bridezilla videos and realized that there are women out there who are so petty, that they don’t want their bridesmaids to look pretty. I never thought about it. I never worried about whether or not a bridesmaid was going to “outshine me”. I chose dresses that I thought would be flattering for everybody, including the color. And I wanted everybody to do their hair and make up however, they felt would be best for them. (I did get them all matching necklaces. That’s about all I did in that regard.) I was happy to see my maid of honor and bridesmaids in both weddings, looking gorgeous, and feeling their best. I think it’s weird that a bride would want the members of her wedding party to look unattractive and dowdy.
my friend got married in winter 2014. she had a few rules with regard to the bridesmaids' looks but not over the top. we (the maids) had the same floor length dress (dark purple) and it was under $100 (Sears, when it was around lol; they were on sale), our shoes could be nude or silver, and we could have whatever done with our hair as long as it was an updo. I put on my own fake nails and did my own makeup. the wedding went off pretty well.
Yeah....that ear pulling crap would have been my EXIT. That's incredible parental and humiliating. Yikes.
Charlotte~ you are the highlight of ALL our weeks!! Bless you, Petty Potato Queen! 🥔 👑 💗
It’s insane that she had the friends who literally would have worn the potato sacks to make her feel secure and pretty on her special day, and she still decided to trash and abuse them.
That’s freaking horrible, and they deserve better than that abuse.
If you’re going to pick out the potato sacks for other’s to wear, you don’t then get to cry that the potato sacks will make your pictures ugly. Not fully the potato sacks making your pictures ugly, it’s your insecurity partially staining the day by doing that.
the ultimate flip would be, they get the bridesmaid dresses flour sacks and they go take them to an actual seamstress and get them shaped and formed so they do "overshine" the bride and when they show up to the reception, they are STUNNING, with flawless hair and makeup since, they had all that time to not go to the wedding or do photos.
OMG! She should have been happy to have her brother for her wedding! Mine had a bad motorcycle accident in Spain a week before my wedding in Switzerland! He was having spinal fractures (that gladly weren’t bad enough to have consequences on his mobility) and was at the hospital in Barcelona for the wedding day. We just had a FaceTime when I was all ready before going and he tells me how beautiful I was. He was totally high and had a halo system on his head and I always would miss his presence on the photos!
I was in a wedding recently and in terms of what we wore the day of, all the bride asked of us was to get a boho-style dress that followed a certain color pallet. Of course she wanted us to get her approval before we bought them, but she wanted to make sure we were comfortable and liked what we wore. And that was all she asked, she said we could do anything in terms of hair, makeup, jewelry, etc. She literally told us we could wear converse or go barefoot if we wanted. She said she wanted to show off all the individual personalities of her friends, which I thought was so freaking sweet of her ❤ And the wedding was really beautiful. The other weddings I've been in were pretty chill in that regard too. I truly don't understand the brides who get SO upset over what their bridesmaids look like.
I love seeing how invested in the videos charlotte gets
Now that you said it, i think editing style changed? No funny pics added, maybe thats why it seems so quiet
N how her editor slowly zooming in when she does that . 🤭
She doesn’t want them anywhere but the reception, not even in the ceremony. What’s the point of even HAVING bridesmaids, if she was that insecure?!
Free labor.
Yeah, i've never heard of that before. Usually a rehearsal dinner, then wedding, then reception. My brothers ex-wife wasn't off the charts bridezilla but still bridezilla. That was when the bridezilla term wasn't even a thing.
If the bridesmaids weren’t Mormon then they can’t enter the temple anyway (as I understand how the religion works).
@@pats8219 if that's the case why not pick bridesmaids who are of your same faith?
@ceegee3471 I've never understood the concept of a "rehearsal dinner". What is there to "rehearse"? I've been bridesmaid twice, and attended a number of weddings, including those of 3 of my 4 brothers (the 4th brother eloped as her Ukrainian parents would have insisted on a big, fancy wedding and my sil and brother are very simple, no-nonsense people). Anyway, the idea of a rehearsal dinner never came up. I planned my own wedding (which I cancelled 6 weeks out, but that's another story) and I'd never even heard of a rehearsal
dinner at that time. It sounds just like another expensive and stressful event best to be
avoided.
All of these bridezillas are ridiculous, but the one with the brother in the cast really hit home for me. My father broke his arm the night before my wedding while in transit from the rehearsal to the rehearsal dinner. He and my mom missed the rehearsal dinner, which was a barbecue they were supposed to be hosting as my husband's parents had passed, and he was on painkillers my entire wedding day, but it never occurred to me to be angry that he was getting attention. I was just happy that he was still able to make it to the wedding! (Also, it turned out that he broke his arm because his bones were brittle from the cancer that he was diagnosed with like 3 days before the wedding, which he and my mom kept from me until after my honeymoon. He's fine now, though, thank goodness. 10+ years in remission!)
I'm glad your dad is good now :)
The first bridesmaid seems like she handled this gracefully. I mean even telling the story she did not come off bitter or petty at all. 👏👏👏👏
Why would you ever want your friends and loved ones to look ugly? That is so weird.
Right? I wanted my wedding party to look pretty because if they didn’t it would ruin my photos 😂
My only stipulation about my bridesmaid dresses for my wedding was that I wanted them to be A-line floorlength dresses. I left the rest of the style, exact color, and everything else up to my bridesmaids because I wanted all of them to feel incredible and comfortable in the dresses, and one of my sisters needed to be able to breast-feed in the dress so realistically, she had the most say out of anybody. They picked the most incredible blue gowns, and I know they have reworn them to different fancy occasions, since then, which makes me SO incredibly happy that they weren’t even just one-time wear dresses. ❤❤ I felt even more special being surrounded by gorgeous women also looking their best inside and out 🎉
When I was getting married, I gave my bridesmaids the colors I wanted them to wear and let them choose their own outfits. This was back when Alfred angelo was popular and you could mix and match tops and skirts. Of the 3 bridesmaids, they all ended up choosing the same skirt and top. I wanted them to wear what they wanted and it worked out great!
That last story could easily have been me. I had a severe accident 4 weeks before my brother's wedding, and I was one of the bridesmaids. Fortunately, my brother and his now wife were great. My burns were very visible in my bridesmaid dress, but it came with a chiffon shawl. I wanted to cover my injuries so I had no problems wearing the shawl, and my awesome SIL asked the other 2 bridesmaids to wear shawls as well, so I didn't feel like the odd one out. ❤❤❤❤
My friends daughter just got married. She had this really pretty but low-key wedding dress. She then told her bridesmaids to just pick their own dress - it just had to be in a specific color. Total coincidence, her bridesmaid picked the wedding dress (because it also came in the color assigned to her, besides coming in white). The bride LOVED it and ended up having the other bridesmaids pick it too.
People don't have to be weird about this stuff.
I've never understood the "make other people look uglier" thing. It's well-supported that you look more attractive when you have a group of attractive people. So if you want to shine the most you can, you should make everyone look as beautiful as possible and you will up everyone's shine!
I thought it was the opposite, that being in a group of attractive people makes you look uglier yourself?
@@happieeyt no! There’s a group bias that happens, so when you get attractive people together, people assume they’re individually more attractive.
Been married 8 years now, I remember the only time I was a “bridezilla” was when my bridesmaid quit a month before the wedding via e-mail that I didn’t check. I found out via my matron of honor who she fought with. My grandpa had just passed and I went off on her (the former bridesmaid). Not the best reaction, I’ll admit.
Okay but via E-mail? I would've been mad too.
Idk that seems like a reasonable reaction. That was incredibly cowardly of her to just email you instead of calling.
@@ToxicNeon maybe it was, but it ended up negatively effecting our friendship and we didn’t talk for three years because of it. Turns out she was having some family issues at home and it was very stressful for her.
It's pretty fair to be upset, it's about the way you conveyed it. Being honest while angry is different than wanton insults. By the way you speak of it, I think you're not giving yourself the grace you should
@@bethanyhutter5433 i can understand that - y'all were both going thru it and y'all both lashed out. I've had moments in my friendships like that, so i understand.
Charlotte your story reminds me of our friends’ surprise wedding. They invited everyone who helped with the renovation of their house, to a housewarming party and then had a surprise wedding in their backyard ❤
The mother of the groom sulked all the way through the party, because she didn’t get to control her BABYs wedding 😂 The bride knew she would be a toxic nightmare - so a surprise wedding was a perfect solution to having the wedding THEY wanted without eloping ☠️
As the friend who's been "the ugly, fat one" from our teen years, I understand not wanting to be overshadowed by your beautiful bridesmaids. You want to be the special one, FOR ONCE. But they are still your friends. Just make them wear simple dresses, simple makeup, etc. They can be elegantly understated without looking like 100/10 Victoria Secret supermodels.
If they're great friends who stuck with you through thick and thin, they'd also still be great friends that do not overshadow their bride because they understand.
Silly people.
Being picked as a bridesmaid seems to be the equivalent to being asked to help move a friends place. Was it because you're really a friend and they want your help or just the use of your truck? Either way, you find out who's a friend real quick.
oooh that's a good analogy!
If you don't want your bridesmaids to "upstage" you.... maybe just DON'T have bridesmaids...?
I genuinely cannot understand how these brides think their "friends" are just their accessories for a day.
Exactly.
But the free things!
Some people only want bridesmaids for the free labor.
I didn’t have bridesmaids….. but that’s because I don’t have any friends.
No but really. If I ever get married, I'm just going to elope. 😂
I love the idea of making an engagement party a surprise wedding, it allows you to celebrate with your family and friends without going through the stress of having everyone nitpicking your wedding planning, and also MUCH cheaper 👌
My sister-in-law found beautiful bridesmaid dresses that looked beautiful on all four girls, even the two that were in their 2nd and third trimesters. And she let me pick a beautiful navy blue evening style gown, and didn't make me wear a fluffy short dress as the flower girl (I'm insecure ab my legs). The photos came out great. I love my sister in law and she's a beautiful match for my brother. The ceremony and reception were amazing and beautiful
My husband caught his uptight dad watching Charlotte all the time. Apparently when I shared her videos he got hooked. She makes this stoic man actually laugh and smile. ❤
I had a friend I helped with her wedding. We all wondered about her choices for bridesmaids, until we realized, she only asked girls that were heavier than her. None of us that were skinnier than her got invited to be bridesmaids. I don’t know if it was a conscious thing or not.
No doubt it was.
@pablodelsegundo9502 I agree but how conceited of that bride. Just because someone is larger than her, it doesn't mean that they cannot be cute.😊
That's so sad. I'm kinda confused, too. How do women like that even have enough friends, so they can be choosy about this? Like, seriously. So many of us struggle, to find and maintain friendships during adulthood. And then there seem to be people, who apparently don't value friendship at all...and yet they seem to have no trouble to find half a dozen willing helpers for their wedding, with disappointed rejects to spare.
I had a cousin that would only go to parties with "fat" friends so she could be the prettiest/ skinny one in the group
@@raraavis7782 Great points. Sometimes people do things out of loyalty, duty or coercion. Some people are just kind or may feel sorry for the requester. Then some people are fake and phony and want to be seen. They could care less about the bride but want to be in the wedding. Relationships like any of the aforementioned will end its course at some point.
People will eventually get tired of being used, will see people for who they are, or move on to "better" or more influential "friends". Don't worry about the quantity of your social circle. Always aim for quality.
I don't know how old you are, but as you get older, your friend list will get smaller and smaller. As you age, you want to spend time with people who bring you real joy and support. Time will soon fly. You will want to spend time with those who sincerely care about you.
I got married in a temple and my bridesmaids (my cousin and two sisters) wore beautiful dresses and styled their hair so well! I was so happy! My dress actually still needed the sleeves to be altered because they were a bit too long but I honestly loved it?? And I’m definitely not a standard beauty role model 😂, but I felt like a princess, along with my princess bridesmaids.
Let me just share a story about my friend who was an anti- bridezilla to keep hope alive-
In short- my friend had a color scheme of pale pink and us bridemaids looked awful in that color. We were and are melanin challenged and we were just pasty looking. When the dress shop consultant pointed out that no style in this color would be flattering- she changed the dress to a darker pink because she “ wanted my girls to look good”. The dresses were more flattering and she didn’t blow any gasket about us not perfectly matching the decorations etc.
Also- her venue was destroyed in superstorm sandy and while upset she said “ people lost their homes, I’m going to try not to get upset about a wedding venue” and also offered to pick up my dress etc from alterations because my mom was having surgery prior and she wanted to make my life easier “ your mom is more important than picking up a dress”.
We are all still friends. Her and her husband have two gorgeous kids who they are raising to not be entitled brats.
Not charlotte reaction worthy- but still important to keep in mind that not all brides are not bridezillas.
That being said- I still love bridezilla stories.❤😂
Bridezilla behavior, imo, is indicative of a woman who is unsure and insecure about the life long commitment she is about to make. So she over compensates for that insecurity by pouring all of her attention and energy into making the wedding day perfect. The whole "It's my/your day" mantra is rooted in arranged marriage culture. The women of the family and village of a promised bride would reassure and bolster her by telling her she was fortunate and blessed that her family was able to find her the best match. If you are unsure about marriage, you need to sit down and talk it out with your intended, maybe in pre-marital counseling, postponing the wedding until you are confident this is what you want. The wedding is one day, but a marriage is until death do you part.
Good point.
Well, it's supposed to be like that!
Our wedding was very small and practical. I asked my girls who wanted to be bridesmaids if they had a nice dress they only got to wear once ,like a prom dress or something. They not only did but they loved this idea and everyone looked individually special and beautiful!Because I wanted to actually share my day with my loved ones ❤
That’s a nice idea!
Aww, that's a wonderful idea!
Lovely
9:52 I just came from a birthday/surprise engagement/wedding. It was fantastic! The Bride disguised it as her bday party, faked the surprise proposal then came back out in a white dress and vail to surprise all her guests. It was the best time!
The story Charlotte told about the friend not wanting to be a bride and just wanting to be married is SO SWEET!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love that idea!
I aspire to be like that!!
They knew they were gonna get married before they "suggested" it on a whim.❤
Literally had the issue of trying to please my bridesmaids to the point that I was unhappy with the colors. Luckily they are understanding and supportive so they weren't too upset at me for changing my mind on dress colors (granted we're still a year out but still)
Every wedding I've been in the brides have been the absolute chillest. Two of them let the bridesmaids pick their dresses and I helped pick out the dress for the third. She wanted to know what the bridesmaids would like and picked based on that. One of the brides even bought all the dresses for the bridesmaids. For another, one of the bridesmaid's dresses' zipper broke on the day of the wedding and she had to substitute another dress last minute. The bride was like "hey, it's black, whatever." Actually, now that I remember, her zipper broke too and I had to pin her into her dress (it was custom made by a friend and a little tight, which was shocking because she was about a size 2). She got it on and was just fine with it. No freakouts, no tears, nothing. Amazing. Bridezillas have no excuse.
I love your story of your friends who decided to just get married at their engagement party. It reminds me of Andy and April's wedding on Parks and Rec, lol. I think we need to normalize not wanting to go through the hassle or expense of planning a wedding. My brother and his wife were planning to have a wedding and then covid hit. By January 2021 they were just like, screw it, and went to the courthouse with a couple friends. My parents and I got sent a video clip of them exchanging vows in their masks. I know some people wouldn't be thrilled about this but my parents and I were just so, so happy for them. If a ceremony and stuff are important to you, then that's cool, you should do that. But ultimately, the most important part is that you are getting married to the person you love.
If you don’t want to be overshadowed by your bridesmaids, then DON’T HAVE BRAIDSMAIDS AT YOUR WEDDING 🤷🏻♀️
I was just thinking this!
They weren't going to be at her wedding! Just the reception - so bizarre. Bridezilla just wanted people she could use to help with hair, makeup, planning. For free. Total narcissist.
With my wedding, my only request was the dresses my bridesmaids had were retro-inspired since my wedding dress was. They both ended up picking the same dress since it flattered both of them (wildly different body types) and it even happened to be in my wedding colours. They could wear whatever shoes and accessories, do their hair and makeup how they wanted. I just wanted them to be comfy and have a dress they'd like
I had a bridezilla moment at my bridal tea at my parent's church. Granted I was stressed and sleep deprived because I was a senior in college near the end of the semester. I got upset that the table of things people brought had a lot of useless junk that looked like regifts. Plus a lot of overly frufru items, which showed that people didn't know me or my husband at all.And I just felt unloved and unseen considering I didn't make a single demand regarding anything related to the wedding other than our colors. I just felt like my husband and I were being disregarded in a personal way, almost kind of snubbed by some people. And that bothered me, so I ended up having a quietish tantrum with my mother the day of the tea down a hall away from people. She told me to calm down because we can return things. I was so exhausted I didn't even think of that. 😶 I love my mother.
Forgot to add this, it's not the wedding that counts. It's the marriage! I've been married for almost 40 years.
I consider all of my friends more beautiful than myself-this isn't a bid for sympathy or lecturing on self-esteem, it's just a fact-so if I were to take this bridezilla tack, I'd be freaking alone on my wedding day. Why on earth would I want that? Why would I want them to be intentionally downplayed when I'm happy to have such incredible friends in my life?
This bridezilla thing is so strange to me. I've been a bridesmaid in three weddings. No drama. Get the dress I'm told to get. Show up. Do my part. Be happy for the couple. Is it 'cause of social media or reality shows? Maybe I just come from a different culture.
I think it's more likely because you're a better friend, and have better friends!
It may be a culture thing.
Where I live weddings are super chill, never have I ever seen atrocities like this lol.
I mean the bridezillas we hear about on this channel are probably like 1% of brides. It's the extreme.
Just got married 1 week ago. My beautiful friends picked their own dresses that they felt beautiful in!!! I love my girls
When i got married i told all my bridesmaids that i wanted them to get a dress that made them feel beautiful. They all wore long silk dresses with a split and they all looked gorgous❤
When my younger sister got married she let all the ladies that stood up with her pick their own dresses. She wanted everyone to feel beautiful and comfortable,as long as they were the color of the wedding,she didn't care
Watching these videos make me realize more and more that I went a simple pretty boho wedding on the beach or in the Forrest with max 15 family members and 10 friends of mine and 15 family members and 10 friends of the grooms 😂😂 I'd rather spend the money on an amazing honeymoon and a beautiful house.
Best friend did this and it was freaking amazing! Her invention said FREE DRINKS really big on it and under the Free drinks it said and we are getting married come celebrate with us!!
YES- elegance over extravagance every time.
That's still 50 guests. I wouldn't call that "pretty simple". Bride, groom, 2 witnesses, that's all you need for a basic legal marriage.
I can't think of the nightmare it would be to organise a party for my (hypothetical) marriage. My and her family are of different religions and cultures. My family is almost extinct, hers is quite large. In her religion men and women celebrate separately, in mine it's everybody together. We are Burgandians and eat/drink almost anything, they are picky Halal. They don't drink alcohol, we do. Etc, etc ...
A nightmare I tell you. If necessary I'll just elope with her and recruit 2 innocent bystanders as witnesses.
@flitsertheo I said just on a beach. No decor nothing. Not wasting money. Will pay for food but open bar. Just because your take on simple is different to mine, doesn't mean you need to push your idea on me and judge me. In my country people go all out with AT LEAST 150 guests
Absolutely!! Im from Palm Springs, and my boyfriend (of 3 years this September) is from Oregon. Most of my family is all in CA (dad and step mom are in philly) and his family is pretty half and half between here and OR. We've talked about how we would like our wedding, and it's pretty darn close to what you said BUT because of my moms recent health issues, we might need to make two smaller parties, one in each state, since travel isnt exactly easy for my mom.
His niece just had her wedding about 3 weeks ago - in the forest in oregon & it was gorgeous and intimate 😍 everyone important was there to celebrate them 🥰
To everyone reading this, many many blessings on your future nuptials 💓💓💓
I had a very small, intimate wedding as it was a destination wedding in South Africa. I had a single bridesmaid/MOH, I took her shopping, told her she could pick whatever dress she liked, as long as it was the right colour, then I bought that, her jewellery, her hair, her makeup, her nails, I also paid for her accommodation for the week and a bit she was in the country, plus her car hire and half of her flights (she insisted she pay half.) I wanted her to feel beautiful too and she was coming so far to spend my special day with me I felt that I needed to thank her and made it as cheap as possible for her. Plus it sounds expensive but as my wedding was in South Africa it actually wasn't, flights were probably the most expensive part.
Please show us the pictures
My Maid of Honor was/still is beyond gorgeous! She's tall, slim, beautiful skin, luscious red hair, and beautiful green eyes.
Even if I had put her and the others in "potato sack" and made them go without makeup, they were still beautiful. All of my attendants were stunning on my wedding day. They added to the "fairy tale".
I adore and admire these women. I would never do anything to detract from their beauty and who they are.
I feel the root of the problem is spending a ridiculous amount of money on a single day to celebrate a wedding that is likely gonna end in divorce anyway. How many couples I wonder could actually afford a small home at least if they didn't spend a small fortune on their wedding?
All aboard the Petty Train with our fabulous driver Charlotte. I wonder where she is taking us today?
I thought it was the toxic gossip train 😂
@@heatherquinn777 I was so tempted to write that, then I thought maybe it was too soon. Maybe it's not 😆
We ordered the bridesmaid dresses online since everyone lives far apart so dress shopping together would have been tough. I told them the colour, length and fabric i wanted. They asked me to narrow down the options for them so I picked out around 8 different styles and let them pick. Ended up with 2 girls in totally unique styles, 2 who liked the same style, and another 2 who liked the same style. It actually looked really great all together. :) Each of them looked so beautiful!!
Whenever I watch these videos I always think about my sweet childhood friend who got married at 20. I was 17 and her maid of honor, and she was so considerate about what she expected me to contribute (I was 17 and still in high school, so she didn't expect much!) and also allowed all the bridesmaids to pick their own dresses so they'd be comfortable and beautiful. I remember one of the bridesmaids was very pregnant, but bride had no problem with it. We paid for our dresses and makeup, but we did all kinds of fun things that the bride did all the arranging for, like sleepovers and pool parties (we were all way too young, but whatever!). It was the only wedding I was ever in, and up until a few years ago when videos like this started coming out, I thought this was what being a bridesmaid was supposed to be! A fun experience to have with your best friend to celebrate her big day, not a stressful burden! Of course, I do realize that me being so young got me out of helping out much, but I don't think she asked the older bridesmaids to do much either.
The woman not wanting her brother in the photos is disgusting what happens if that was the only opportunity to get a family picture. My brother passed away and we don’t have many pictures of him you don’t think about those things until it’s to late
My sincerest condolences.
And you are right.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. ❤
So sorry about your brother. And you are absolutely right, we should cherish these memories and moments while we can.
My brother passed away too and I only have a few pics of him,I know exactly how you feel! I’m so sorry♥️
Reminds me of a wedding that myself and my spouse attended several years ago. It was a couple hours away and we were invited by my spouse's childhood friend.
An introvert they hadn't seen in years. No printed invite, just a phone call. We encountered some construction and ended up being about ten minutes late. Decided we would sneak into the back of the church so no one would notice. Turns out, we were the ONLY guests. Not only that, but we were the Best Man and Maid of Honor.
I had only met the groom once and never met the bride. Ever. So awkward.
Oh dear....
Whoosh. Awkward
At my wedding I gave my bridesmaids a color and asked them to pick the dress they wanted to wear. Whatever made them feel gorgeous. I was the same for my guests - as long as you don't wear red (my dress's color), wear what makes you feel stunning. It's shocking to me how many people have been to weddings and have never been told "wear what makes you feel beautiful".
The last girl almost put me to sleep😂😂😂
Looks like charlotte bout to fall asleep aswell❤
Getting bed bugs the night before her wedding.. sounds like a nice slice of karma pie
I got married in a registry office, my reception was a lock-in at our favourite pub. We spent about £100 (it was40 years ago but even with inflation we are still talking less than £500 in today's money) and we had nearly 200 guests throughout the day. It was brilliant, I got completely hammered! Unfortunately the marriage only lasted 22 years and 4 kids. xxx
😂
22 years and four kids? I hope it ended because he died, not because he cheated or anything.
@@SirSealandLister Sadly after 22 years he finally found his soulmate and we divorced. I, having thought he was mine, never even dated again. I have been on my own for 17 years now. It is OK though as I have discovered Baldur's Gate 3 and the wonderful community who are more than willing to help an old lady kill everything in sight! xxx
I went around to stores with several color options and found 3-4 styles in the same color for my bridesmaids to try and pick from, because they were different heights and sizes-they looked gorgeous! They were affordable, and we got vests for the men in the same color. We were outside, so no jackets. Great pictures! If you think your hubs to be is looking at your friends over you, don’t get married.♥️✌️
my friend got married in 2014. we maids had dark purple dresses to the floor, under $100 - they were on sale *thumbs up*
When my friend got married, she had us choose our own dresses. They needed to be the same color, but she wanted us to feel comfortable and didn't give a damn if the dress styles didn't match one another. So thankful for her seeing these bestie bridezillas ❤❤
I had my wedding in Vegas, so I had one bridesmaid. I wanted her to look amazing, so I told her, my colors are fall colors (orange, coral, brown, gold). She chose a gorgeous orange/coral slip dress that looked amazing on her. She's tall and thin, so she looked like a model. I was so happy. I bought her wedding jewelry too (hers was in gold, mine was white gold, since silver tones look better on me).
I wouldn't have been happy if my friend wasn't wearing something she liked that made her look awesome. I don't understand people that are so insecure.
I was in a wedding years ago where the bride chose awful, flower patterned dresses for the bridesmaids. It was flowers on a cream background; the kind that make fair-skinned women look washed out and sickly. Myself and a couple other of the paler skinned bridesmaids went tanning or used sunnless tanning products so we'd look better in those horrible dresses. The bride was not pleased, but we didn't care. She didn't say we couldn't have a tan. 😁
The bride was and still is an insecure piece of work. A lot of us ended up cutting off our friendships with her due to her toxicity and special brand of crazy (among others things).
Your friend’s impromptu wedding sounds legendary. I got married in a few months ago and like your friend I’m allergic to drama, so my now husband and I went to Vegas during March Madness 🏀 and tied the knot with our fur baby as a witness. Plot Twist: being in Vegas for the tournament was MY idea. I love sports as much as he does and from that moment he always mentions to his friends how lucky he is to have a wife who actually came up with the plan to combine our love to each other (and our puppy) with our love for sports 🏈⚽️⚾️👰🏻🫶🏻
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For my wedding I told my girls that I wanted navy floor length and if they could do chiffon that would be great. They got to choose the price point they could adore, the style they wanted, and they all felt great!
The broken wrist story reminded me of a situation that happened to my sister. She severely broke her finger the day before my cousin’s wedding. Her nail had to be surgically removed, and she almost had her finger amputated. We had to put our flights to later that day, so my sister could have surgery. We still made it to the wedding. My sister was so worried about stealing attention that she actually tried to hide her hand in all photos. Luckily my cousin is not a bridezilla, so the only response she gave my sister was hoping she got better. The running joke of the wedding was that the surgeon made my sister’s bandage for her finger the same shade of blue as the outfit she brought for the wedding, so that way it would match.
I let my bridesmaids pick their own dress to suit their body. Just had to be black. They all had matching red pashmina scarves and it just tied them all together.
I let my bridesmaids pick out their own dresses because I wanted them to feel good. My only request was that they be black. Every dress was different and they all looked beautiful. And they had dresses they could wear again. So glad I made that decision!
At my wedding all 5 of my bridesmaids had the most GORGEOUS dresses! We went to buy the fabric (gold with gold organza), then I let them work with the seamstress to make them in whatever style they liked so they could wear it again in future. It was a gorgeous wedding and I didn't feel threatened in the least! #NotAnInsecureBitch
I was my former roommate's Matron-of-Honor. She made me wear a pale yellow suit (skirt and blazer) with a white blouse. I am very pale and was a blonde at the time, perfect for jewel tones, but not pale yellow. I ended up looking like a colorless blob.
My husband and I were 15 minutes late to when she wanted us at her house. I was super stressed about that because it was important for she and I to be at the salon on time. We were late for a valid, but personal reason and still early enough to get to the salon on time. She answered the door, still in her bathrobe and pj's, being snarky about what took us so long.
She wasted the next half hour, making sure her 3 yr old son was dressed before finally getting her street clothes on. Mind you, she was marrying the baby daddy for the SECOND time. Daddy could have dressed his kid, and my husband was left to hang out with them while we got our hair done. Hubby had 5 kids, so... no stranger to dressing toddlers.
At the salon: Hairdresser was upset that we were 45 minutes late because she scheduled us for one hour before the shop opened so there'd be no distractions. She was the only one there...for two of us. Bride wanted me to go first. Bad idea. Hairdresser and I tried to get her to go first in case anything happened and she could only do one of us since we were late. Nope.
So now the shop is open and she's the only one there to do hair, answer phones, and handle customers coming in. It takes over an hour to do my hair. Without distractions, it would have been 20 minutes. Now the bride is crying because we are going to be late. All my fault, of course, because we were late arriving and my hair took so long. She opts for a quick and simple updo that wasn't what she wanted at all. Hairdresser reminds her we were late, and this is why she should have gone first.
Finally, we get back to the house to pick up my husband, who was now alone because the groom and child had left for the ceremony. We follow her through Chicago, driving like maniacs in an unfamiliar place and arrive in one piece, by the grace of God. I hurry into my business suit and then join her mother in stuffing the Bride into her dress because she's been stress eating. I had done my makeup in the car while praying our way through Chicago. We did her makeup and she was beautiful. We have the wedding 30 minutes late and then the reception. Bride blamed me for EVERYTHING to everybody there.
Finally, it was time for me to toast. "Today has been quite an adventure as you two start your adventure together again. I love you so dearly that I allowed you to blame me all day for your tardiness. ( said in a loving but teasing tone) And why do I love you? Because you introduced me to my husband, and I can only wish you two the same happiness we've had. "
Point made.
Ah, these stories always remind me of when my sister-in-law kicked me out of my duty as ring bearer because I was too chubby as a child. 30 years later and I still don't like her for a multitude of reasons, that being one of the first.
Damn the ear pulling was insane...I honestly wasn't even interested in planing my wedding. My dress and the decor theme was the only two things I choose/was interested in choosing. I gave my mom free reign on everything and trusted everyone to do what they said/paid them to do. Best Part of my wedding was not the decor/the dress, but sharing it with the people I love.
For my wedding I told my sister and our friend who were my maids of honor that they could pick any dress style they liked, as long as it was Teal (one of my colors). Both picked styles they felt beautiful in and we had a grand old time.
My wedding I just told my bridesmaids the color, length and general style/feel but let them pick their dresses because I wanted them to feel beautiful and comfortable. They all picked out such pretty dresses and they all looked so pretty I was so happy to have them share my day with me 🥰
Charlotte will be the anti-bridezilla! Anyone invited to share in her wedding day would be blessed. 👩🏻🦰💒🎂❤💐🥂🍾
Groomzillas are targeted
Having the bridesmaids in velvet, shapeless dresses is going to bring them more attention than pretty dresses. The bride will lose more attention that way.
I was happy when I saw my friends in nice dresses. Like you mentioned, it is super nice to be around beautifull people
I gave my bridesmaids a color palette & let them have free range on dress styles, fabrics, and fit. Everyone has a different body type, skin tone, & what they feel comfortable in - & because I gave them yhat freedom within my color pallet, I stg I had the hottest looking wedding/bridal party ever, and the different colors went together so well. Most of their dresses were high slits, low cuts, showing all the tattoos & tatas in elegant classy dresses, which was perfect for my lesbian wedding & I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. 🔔 💥💞
