Hey there! I’m the bride who found my bridesmaid on Facebook. Just to clarify, they didn’t ALL drop out at once 😂 one dropped out about a year before and I was able to replace her a few months later. Another one had a family emergency about 6 months before and I found it as no big deal and just let it be. Then the last one dropped out due to financial reasons and I didn’t want my wedding party to look small and sad so I went to Facebook 😂 but hey she’s my best friend now and I have no regrets! Love this video and completely agree with all the reactions! You should more!
That's a great way to make a new friend!
I wish I had known about your story Mollie! I grew up in Jacksonville and live in south Florida now, but would have come up to be a bridesmaid in your wedding. I had some bridesmaids drop out of my wedding this year too and I know the feeling. I would have gladly even brought my bridesmaids to be in your wedding too lol. I’m glad it worked out for you and hope you’re enjoying the newlywed life. 💕💕
@@Lulaluna603 thank you so much!! I would have gladly came to be in your wedding too! I actually ended up being a bridesmaid in Kylee’s wedding this past April! Truly a fairytale!
I would've happily been a BM.
that's so cute, she seems really sweet
My wife's maid of honour was her best friend from school. When my wife had her stroke (before I met her) her maid of honour was there for her, making 100 mile round trips to visit her in hospital. When my wife came of of hospital hemiparuplegic and with aphasia her friend continued to treat her no different than before her stroke. The only exception is when they have a girl's night out, her MoH makes sure my wife remains vertical. She supported my wife all through the arrangements for the wedding and continues to be a great friend for my wife. I owe my wife's MoH more than I can ever repay her, there’s some amazing friends and MoH out there as well as the poo ones.
That’s such a beautiful friendship. Thank you for sharing ❤
That's no longer a friend that's a sister from a different mister territory.
That story has got me all wet-eyed. I'm glad your wife has this kind of friend.
Im so glad u had a good experience. Gotta keep friends like that very close and treat them good too.
People like this should be in the spotlight, not awfuls MOH 🥰
An acquaintance had her wedding, I of course didn't know her well enough to be invited, but she had very few female friends. So two thirds of her Bridesmaids were men. The men all decided to go to a drag venue and they managed to get the performers to lend them wigs, dresses, shoes and do their make-up for them. It looked like Pricilla: Queen of the Desert. I saw the photo's and it was hilarious.
That actually sounds awesome! That would be so much fun for a wedding.
i kinda need to see it now 😂. that's must be awesome
Those sound like some fun people 😂 I wouldn’t want it for my wedding but sounds like a fun one to attend.
Love it! 🥂💎💄
That sounds bloody amazing :)
I was asked to be in a wedding as a bridesmaid, and the bride had 'A' as her maid of honour. The Bride and 'A' had known one another since they were children, the other two bridesmaids worked with the Bride, and I was a new friend, but we spent a LOT of time together hanging out, me, the Bride, and her soon-to-be-hubby. 'A' disliked me, thought I shouldn't be a bridesmaid because I (and she literally said this to me), "Hadn't earned my place as a friend yet" and "hadn't been friends with Bride long enough to even stand up there with the rest of us."
I kept the peace and said nothing. But, we would go out for lunch while dress shopping, and I'd pick up the Bride's tab (she was buying things for us, I didn't want her paying for lunch), and during dress shopping, 'A' hated every dress/colour the Bride picked, and fought all her wants. The other 3 of us were easy-going, I already had a general idea of what she wanted, having spent time at her place and helping her look online. By the time we picked dresses, 'A' had threatened twice to not be in the wedding if she couldn't have a different dress or colour from the rest of us, because she hated everything. The Bride called her bluff, turned and asked me if I would be MOH, which sent 'A' on a rampage, and she stormed outside and literally screamed. She stayed in the wedding, but helped with none of the planning. The rest of us did it all, because I think 'A' just wanted the title for having known the Bride the longest. They don't speak anymore.
It's just mind-boggling how selfish and unpleasant 'A' was. Thanks for sharing this story.
A is totally a Karen there for sure wow. The Audacity.
How childish
Props to the bride! Always nice to see a bluff called lol
If I were that bride, I would have dropped her after the dress incident.
One of my bridesmaids, who is a lifelong friend, couldn't afford her dress or getting her hair done, so my hubby & I covered the cost, discreetly. It meant more to me to have her there and with what a wedding costs, even a small one, what was another $100 or so??? We didn't miss the money but I'd have missed one of my dearest friends if she wasn't standing up there with me!
That was nice of you!
@@amandastjohn4735 It just made sense. It's just money. We've been friends since we were 9 years old.
@Nicky L In my culture, there's only one brides maid and the bride doesn't even get to pick who it is because it's picked from the groom's side of the family. But he does get to pick his best man. Unfair but...traditions... 🤷♀️
Yeah it's so weird to hear these stories from America, does it happen anywhere else that the bridesmaids pay?
@Crazy Cat Lady This is so refreshing to hear. It's so dumb for couples to spend $20-30k on a wedding and then struggle to make it. That poisons relationships. You are definitely smarter than the average bear.👍
I had an odd experience with my bridesmaid once. I had noticed my husband was acting weird before the garter removal/toss, but thought it was just the idea of going under my dress in front of the crowd. Right after he came out with the garter and tossed it, my bridesmaid got super upset, stomped away, and left the reception. When I asked what was going on, she had apparently talked to and convinced my husband that instead of pulling the garter out from under my wedding dress, that it would be hilarious to pull out a gigantic pair of underwear that she had sewn together and covered in stains. At the last minute he (thankfully) changed his mind. She was upset, because she had spent “so much time” creating this masterpiece of humiliation and he had chosen not to follow through.
why did she hate you??
Wtf?! Why would she even do that?
I’m mad your husband actually thought about going through with it. 😒
Stains?! I mean a normal pretty pair of panties would have been funny but why something so gross sounding? Was she trying to humiliate you? 😬
@@Ktakahashi18 Yea- in hindsight, I’m thinking she was actually a frenemy!
I was MOH in my best friend’s wedding. It was a month after I lost my mom so she told me that she would understand if I couldn’t make it and her 2 cousins offered to stand in for me. Even though it was a rough time for me, I knew that I made a commitment to my best friend and I wanted to follow through with that and be there to share her special day. Also, my mom absolutely loved my bestie and would’ve wanted me to be there for her. A couple weeks before the wedding she asked for a picture of my mom for her memorial table and I gave her my granny’s ring to wear for the something old and something borrowed tradition. She is truly the best friend I’ve ever had and I’d do anything for her that I’m able to.
My best friend moved to Texas before she passed (I'm in VA) I sent her a text one morning that took her HOURS to respond to (as I'm a morning person and she's a night owl) it said "I need my best friend 😭" when she responded it was a screen shot with a text that said "I'm on the next flight out" I called her, in TEARS and told her "I just wanted you to call me!!!" But she knew me so well that she knew if that's what I truly needed I would have said "call me when you wake up" but because of the way I worded it, she knew I genuinely needed her presence. You are so blessed to have that type of friend in her. Hold her close. I miss mine every single day.
❤
@@charley1943😭💔
I hope I can find a friend like that one day! That’s so beautiful! Thank you for sharing
When my best friend got married it was a destination wedding and I live paycheck to paycheck her and her husband both told me not to worry about any of the costs except for paying the alterations for the dress that they already bought so everyone had to pay $300 a person to stay at the house overnight for the wedding except me her husband straight up said don’t worry about Christina all that matters is that she’s there
And that's how it's supposed to be done. You have the benefit of knowing the quality of your friends.
I love that your friends thought about you and your situation from the start. Not making you come to them for help or skip the wedding. This seems right when you know your friend needs the help...offer.
Charlotte, it is so awesome to hear you say "my boyfriend". Do you know how happy you look?!?lol so happy for you both 😝
I love Charlotte! I hope she's very happy
Same !😊
So nice to see @Charlotte Dobre
Wait! Bf?! When did this happen? That’s great!
I've been a bridesmaid a few times but only once was I a 'stand-in' bridesmaid. My good friend was planning a small wedding with her sisters as her MOH and bridesmaids. The bridesmaid dresses were being handmade by the sisters, two of the sisters loved it and one didn't, she wanted it to be tailored to her taste and said if it wasn't changed, she was out. My friend asked if I would replace her sister as a bridesmaid, of course I said yes. The dress was stunning, fit me like a glove and everything went off smoothly. The sister who didn't like the dress, came up to me and said "if I knew the dress was going to look like that, you wouldn't be here." I told her "I'd still be here, my friends are important to me and I wouldn't let them down, especially not because of something petty like what you did. Thanks btw, I love the dress".
My now-hubby got to be a stand-in best man....he was told so at the morning of the wedding because the intended stand-in woke up with some eye issues (couldn't Open his eye and had to go to the Er) and the orinigal best man's mum died shortly before the wedding so he stepped down because he was in no emotional state to Party.
Poor bride. It really felt like a whole lot of Stuff went wrong in her day :(
@@tuschi8039 That's so sad for that bride but I'm glad your hubby stepped in at the last minute. Sounds like you got a good guy there.
@@jackiemorrell2298 thanks a lot ☺️
Yeah, poor bride. She still doesn't like to remember her wedding day which makes me so sad for her tbh :(
Why didn’t she just try the dress on first before making such a fuss
@@dodgyyoutuber9560 There wasn't a dress (yet) to try on. Like I said in my original comment, two of the brides sisters were making the bridesmaid's dresses. The other sister just saw a hand drawn picture of the dress and the fabric it was going to be made from and she didn't like it.
I was in school, local and regional theater groups most of my early life. None of us had any money so when someone in our company got married so we used our local theater to hold the ceremony. We all came together and did whatever was needed to make the day special. We made all the food, the wedding cake, flowers, photographs etc. We dug into the costume departments vault for clothes and each wedding was themed. We had pirate weddings, prison weddings, West Side Story wedding and "free for all" weddings where people dressed as their favorite character. We took 90% of tradition and BS out of the wedding and just had a great day.
That's the best way to do it.
This is honestly perfection in my eyes. To me, the perfect wedding has ZERO to do with the money spent, the clothes worn, the hair, or make up. If that is taking priority over who is waiting down the aisle for me, I don't want it. As long as the groom doesn't change, nothing else would matter to me. My life long commitment is to the man patient enough to put up with me and all my mess, not the center pieces and color scheme.
You started your own wedding traditions, bravo! The pirate wedding sounds like fun.
Love this! ❤
My heart is so full hearing about the stranger becoming a bridesmaid. That was so damn sweet, and I hope those two become lifelong friends.
yes, she is now a lifelong friend! She actually posted in this comment section (somewhere up top). Awesome story
apparently they are best friends now
Charlotte's eventual wedding is going to be the best one ever because everyone will be petrified to be featured in a video 😂😂
Charlotte will go full on charzilla on them if they try to start their shit at her wedding😂😉
Bahahaha
I want every second of that day, from the moment she rises, to the moment they leave the reception, filmed. Then I want at reaction videos from at least 2 other 'tubers, plus Charlotte. Heck, she could do a whole series on her own wedding.
I can picture everyone clapping with those tiny plastic hands she loves and a flower girl in a shark suit. Maybe a bridal tiara of tiny bedazzled hands? ✨✨✨🥂💍💕🤪
Charlotte will be a stunning bride... hint hint Mike. 🥰
Every time i watch one of your videos about messed up weddings, it makes me want to just get hitched at a town hall and not have a ceremony at all
Do it! I have had both types of weddings and the town hall ceremony was IDEAL. Zero stress. We traveled to the city we met in to be married, so we technically had a destination-town hall wedding. 😉
Same. Do a barbeque in our backyard. Get a couple speakers 🔊 for some music
@@nicholnixon7310 💯
We got married in our living room with a Justice of the Peace. Family and close friends attended. We all went out for dinner afterwards and then came home & played video games. 😊
That was in 2001. We're still married and have 2 kids.
Lol! I * just * posted pretty much the exact same thing.
when my best friend got married, we worked out the dates together so I could be there. She just gave us a color for the dress and let us spend what we could. My husband and I had to fly half way across the world so they let us stay at their house, paid for groceries and the rehearsal dinner for us to help off set the cost of us flying out to be there. I was a bridesmaid (not maid of honor because I could not help plan anything). everyone helped out by driving us to places we needed to be at and what not so we didn't have to rent a car. It was so sweet how everyone in the wedding party tried to make it easier for us. Our plane tickets were over $1000.
My husband and I got married 15 years ago and we were paying for most of it ourselves so it was a very small, inexpensive wedding. I have 2 younger siblings (7 & 8 years younger than me) that I wanted to be a part of the wedding but knew they wouldn't be able to afford to buy a dress or rent a tux as they were only 15 & 14 years old at the time, and I didn't want my parents to have to pay for them as they had already been very kind with paying for part of the wedding. So I made my sister my MOH and she wore her beautiful dress she had bought for semi-formal at school that fit with our colours and I based my bridesmaids dresses off of something similar yet different so she could stand out and not have to pay anything for her dress or shoes, and our tux rental place had a special where, if you rent 4 tuxs, you get the 5th rental free, so we paid for my husbands rental and gave the free one to my brother as he was walking me down the aisle. We also used my old flower girl dress, from when I was around 5 years old & my mom married my other dad, for our 4 year old daughter to wear down the aisle as our flower girl (or Princess as she made everyone call her that day 😂🥰).
The other bridesmaids ended up needing to pay for their dresses ($75, and I’ve seen them each wear them since then, which was one of my goals when looking for a dress for them), whatever black shoes they wanted, and their hair & makeup, and my sister/MOH just needed to pay for her hair and makeup.
My mom was grateful we didn’t pile on extra costs to her like we could have for both of my siblings, both of them were happy with what they were wearing, and I was incredibly happy and thankful that they were a part of my special day and that they wanted to be a part of it ❤️
Well done.💗
Sounds like you had a great Wedding, & so did everyone involved, thanks to your thoughtfulness, decency, & consideration. ❤
(You were the opposite of a bridezilla!)
God Bless you & your husband, your Marriage, & your family, always.💗
My moms 2nd wedding, my aunt was getting ready and the hair stylist put little amber colored flower pins in her hair. She was upset. So, she replaced them with basic Bobby pins. She then put the flower pins in my hair and I loved them. She did my makeup and, the makeup under my eyes was so light. But, the lady said my under eyes were really dark at the time. She asked if I was ok I said yeah I was crying cause I wish my grandma was there. The lady doing the hair did a shot with me. I loved her.
@Inna_Craft yeah. It was a good day all around
She was there for you eventho she does not know you..... I totally understand that you loved her🥰
@@michellehoogveld5262 yeah. I told everybody about her that I knew. A few of my friends used her for their weddings. She retired, but, said when I get married she'd come outta retirement for me lol.
@@afa13829 sounds like an amazing woman... we all need someone like her in our lifes🥰
We women have to hold each other up.
I got asked to be MoH as a backup choice because the bride fell out with her first choice. I couldn’t do it from hundreds of miles away and told her so, and basically got the silent treatment and any interaction since then has been strained and full of attitude on her part. We were there for each other for some seriously dark stuff, but my honesty and distance made me a bad friend in the end. That’s okay. Some people are only meant to be around for a season.
SHE is not the good friend by not being understanding.
You are a good friend, she wasn't at the moment.
To everything there is a season.. I love the way you said that.. So perfect and so true..
Just wondering… Why were you not going to go to her wedding in the first place, even not as a maid of honor?
@@AshleyMintz It sounds like because she was hundreds of miles away.
When my brother and his fiance married in 2004, his fiance asked me to be a bridesmaid but she did say I'd need to buy my own dress as money was tight and I would've been the only adult bridesmaid (they'd already been together 12 years and we were very close). I was thrilled to be asked but I had to politely say no as I had a young son and i was not working. We both were completely understanding of each other and it wasn't a problem. I still went out dress shopping with her for the bridal gown and the dresses for the young bridesmaids, and helped with everything she needed. It was a beautiful wedding and just being there to help out made us both, and my brother, very happy x
I loved seeing the story about the bride looking for a bridesmaid online! Yes, 🥔 Queen! We women should be building each other up, not tearing each other down.
My first thought weas, what did she do that made all of her friends quit? That sounds like a bride problem.
@@loosilu it could be. . . That, or she had a narcissistic bridesmaid that was mad about something and turned everyone against her which they are amazing at doing if they feel wronged by you.... still, if so, then that says a lot about the depth of the friendships
@@loosilu I thought the same thing. I have expect her to show up again in one of Charlotte’s bridezilla videos.
@@loosilu She did not seem like a tyrant. She seemed pretty awesome, actually, and the outpouring of love and support she got was amazing.
@@mage1439 She did seem sweet. Who knows, maybe one of the bridesmaids was a narcissistic monster. Either way, there is a backstory there for sure. I did think it was strange that most of the bridesmaids left for financial reasons. Usually bridesmaids are aware of the costs when they agree to join. Maybe this girl had unreasonable financial expectations.
We had a groomsmen that was already committed to another wedding the same summer as our wedding. He told us he didn't think he could afford the tux rental twice. My partner and I were both in graduate school when we got married. We couldn't afford to cover the entire tux rental for him due to budget, but I crunched some numbers and said "offer to pay for half, if it's still too much for him then say we understand and of course he's still welcome as a guest." He accepted our offer, and we were happy to have him in the wedding.
I was once late for a very close friends wedding because it was before gps and I had trouble finding them! I was only about ten minutes late. My friend, in full wedding dress, and her groom in tux,
Ran to meet me when they saw me. I teared up and will never forget it
Why?
Reading all these stories about bridesmaids who couldn't afford their expenses for the wedding (dresses, venue seating, etc) makes me even more grateful for my sister. I was about 14-15 I think when my second older sister had her wedding and since she knew I had no money and our parents were in a tight spot at the time, she covered my bridesmaid dress and my seat at the venue for her wedding. Never even said anything other than "Don't worry about it". It was a beautiful day and I'm still so grateful she did that so I could be involved ❤
I'm getting married tomorrow!! Aaaaaahhhh!
Let's hope my bridesmaids don't act like this lot 🤣
My fiance, soon to be step son and myself love your videos Charlotte, thanks for the fab wedding videos. Love them and yet also makes me nervous 🤣
Congratulations. Enjoy your day
Thank you both!! 👰💍🤵
Congratulations!
Don't know how I read that your fiance is your son to be stepson despite the comma😂
Congratulations on your wedding!!!
Break a leg (: I'm sure it'll be perfect. Maybe not it the way you imagined if something does change or go wrong, but it'll all be part of the memory 💜
When Charlotte says “heyyy everybody” I’d greet her back like “hiii charlotte!” She boosts my mood 💯
My sister was a little bit of a bridezilla about my hair (it was a pastel pink at the time) but we managed to compromise and she helped me get to a really really nice platinum blonde so I could dye my hair pink again after the wedding, she was super cool about my dress though and told me if I wanted to I could get a black dress. I was terribly thin at the time, recovering from an ED and wouldn’t you know it, the only dress that had fit me was black, but with pink floral embroidery on the bodice that matched the other bridesmaids, and gold on it too which matched everything else. It fit perfectly with the wedding, and allowed me to stand out the way my sister wanted as her MOH and her sister. Compromise gets you pretty far when it comes to weddings yall.
I was the maid of honor in my best friends wedding just a few hours after having learned my little 18 year old brother had been murdered. She was the best of friends keeping my mind occupied and I will always thank her for that. And I still apologized because I was shaking in the video so bad.
I'm so sorry!
I'm so sorry for your loss, sending love and healing vibes. X 😢
"I don't want you standing next to me because you're actually unstable and batshit nuts" is what the response should have been lmao
Gotta have more backstory on this "everyone canceled to being bridesmaids". Having watched a lot of your bridezilla videos, I feel there's more to this than just the money or family emergency.
Yeah, I was getting the same feeling. One or two people? Understandable. ALL of them? Something feels off...
She seemed really sweet in the interview. And the other lady that ended u p being her MoH didn’t mention that there was any drama
@@Unstoppable_Unicorn Sometimes people who seem sweet can fool you. She said a bunch dropped out for financial reasons. Maybe she was making unreasonable financial demands. Or maybe it's not the bride at all and one of the bridesmaids was a bad apple.
The financial I can see, but how do you have an emergency two months in advance? That struck me as odd.
Thank you. I was thinking here to myself, is it reeeaally a coincidence that all of them decided not to attend? How likely is that to happen, unless they want to avoid something or someone?
The bridesmaids dropping out story hits hard for me right now. My cousin (actually step cousin her half sister is my actual cousin) messaged me a week ago because one of her original girls was ghosting her. I stepped in 7 days before the wedding tried to order a dress off Amazon. None would ship in time so I sewed my own dress in 3 days. I adjusted my work schedule and showed up for her when she needed me. I wish she would have asked sooner but I’m still happy I got to be there for her on her big day.
I wore a 40 dollar bridesmaid dress and shoes from amazon and looked stunning, and it complimented the brides dress perfectly. Wonderful time was had by all. No excuses lol
I was the Best Man at my brothers wedding. I was notified of the wedding date, 3 days before the wedding. I didn't even know about the engagement.
OK, unpopular opinion --- just don't drink alcohol. You'll thank yourself for not having a hangover the next day, and you'll have a wedding you can actually remember...
There will be know alcohol at my wedding. These videos have scarred me
Or don't drink so much you get black out drunk
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!
Oh I'm fully having alcohol-free drinks, I'm just not gonna tell people 😏😂
Haha! My best friend took sooooo long sorting her shit out we were almost late to my wedding - but at the same time, my florist flaked and my bestie did SO MUCH to fix the flowers, made a cake topper on the day, and did my hair - I couldn’t be mad ❤
I had a similar story to the girl whose bridesmaids dropped out. One friend had a huge legitimate reason as she lives in Ireland and their Covid protocols didn’t allow her to make it. She also let me know waaay ahead of time so I could get another friend on board. However….One of my girls…a person who I’ve been friends with since MIDDLE SCHOOL messaged me a WEEK before the wedding with a text saying: “I was afraid to tell you earlier because I’m afraid of confrontation, but I’m not going to be in your wedding due to deeply personal reasons”. That was it. Mind you, I’m a ppl pleaser so I’m the LEAST confrontational. We’ve also closely known each other for over a decade. I asked what was going on but she refused to tell me, so I told her I’m here to support her however, and if she decides to talk about it later, I’m here for her. I did have to say as much as I cared about her, this does leave me in a bit of a pickle to find someone new in a weeks notice. She got SO defensive and blamed me for being unsupportive and that it wasn’t her problem. Another friend did end up bailing me out, and was the same size as this flaker. I texted flaker asking if she was cool to sell her bridesmaid dress to my friend since they are the same size, and she agreed. SHOCKER: She was insanely difficult to deal with in order to get the dress to my friend. I lost it…I spoke my mind to this flakey mcflaker and said the LEAST you can do is be cooperative about getting the dress to my friend who actually seems to give a poop!
Many times your best friend is your worst enemy always remember this
“No thank you lateso!!”
Also Charlotte is gonna have the best fvcking wedding ever
That girl who volunteered to be a bridesmaid was sooooo sweet! precious
My very best friend of 36yrs was suppose to be my MOH. She passed 3 weeks before my wedding. Before her passing she moved to Virginia. My husband and I were going to set her up in a hotel room for the weekend. Pay all her expenses for the wedding. I really wanted her there. So all of us including her 2 girls did everything to make sure she was there. She didn't make it physically to the wedding. But I sure felt her spirit. I was sad to have missed her memorial. It was the same day as my wedding. Talk about the universe talking to you..
I was a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding. It as a $10k wedding that the bride and groom paid themselves. The bridesmaids and groomsmen had some expenses (outfit, shoes, hair and makeup if you're a bridesmaid) and the only registry type gift was activities for their honeymoon in Jamaca that people could contribute towards which people did.
I paid a little over $300 for everything; the dress was $200 from David's bridal but it's a black cocktail style dress that was a justifiable purchase because I've worn it multiple times since to all different events, I paid $80 for the matching heels that I also still have and wear and $30 for phenomenal hair and makeup.
My sister and her husband did divorce but I'm not angry about having to spend what I did because I was there for my sister like she was for me growing up and again, I have gotten lots of uses out of what cost me the most.
Where did you pay 30$ for hair and makeup???? LIKE WHERE?
@@Feefee_333 I'm guessing it was cheaper since she said it was in Jamaica.
@@FlagCutie No, that was the honeymoon. I'd guess it was cheaper because it was a group thing. Or it could have been a friend?
We all did our own/each others hair and makeup, I told my friends a dress color and length and they got what fit them best, we all stayed in a hotel together the night before and played games for a bachelorette since they all lived so far away. Everyone paid $50 for the hotel suite and bought their own dress and shoes. (But the price of that was up to them.)
Wedding and honeymoon combined for my husband and I was less than $5k.
I don’t understand people who force bridesmaids and groomsmen to shell out a whole paycheck on someone else’s wedding.
We have a fantastic time and beautiful wedding!
Omg 10,000$ would have paid for a month's long trip instead of a stupid one night party.
I'm really grooving on the bridesmaids coming to the rescue. Standing up for the sisterhood. The bride seemed to only have chosen marginal friends (chaotic lives or no money?) but it was GOLDEN to see all those women having her back and stepping up. I remember when all my friends were broke (as I was at the time) and yeah it's a limiting reality. My first wedding was SO on the cheap... my wedding dress (tea length Mexican crinkled cotton matching skirt/blouse) cost $38 off the rack at Montgomery Ward and we rented a small party room in our condo building for $25. Friends donated invitation printing, flowers, stamps for the invites, etc AS THEIR GIFTS. My mom bought the booze (her specialty area) and my nephew bartended. My inlaws brought their stereo and their extensive music collection, and popped for the catering. I called two friends, told them to hit their closets and find any solid color tea length dress that they felt like a knockout in, and call me with the color so I could get their flowers to match. 50 souls invited, about 40 came and a good time was had by all. You DO NOT NEED to spend a king's ransom to have a great wedding. (The choice of HUSBAND, however, went up for serious speculation shortly afterward, but that's a whole nother story).
My best friend is Canadian, I’m British. We met online and instantly clicked, fast forward a few years and she asked me to be maid of honour at her wedding… in Canada. I helped organise the wedding from the other side of the ocean, bought my own dress and generally did everything she needed without any drama. She paid half my flight, I stayed at her home and made sure that everything she needed was done. Myself, the other bridesmaid (who was American) the best man, bride and groom all stayed up till four in the morning on the day of the wedding finishing favours and we did it with smiles and booze. I spent most of the actual wedding running around, getting her everything she needed and making her happy (barely having time to eat or drink until the early hours of the following morning) as well as making an impromptu MOH speech but I had the best time ever, the wedding was beautiful, the reception so much fun and was everything my bestie wanted. That’s what being a MOH/bridesmaid is all about… you show up, in every possible way, because that’s what friends do.
These horrible people in the video are just not worth the effort… and it’s a shame it took a wedding day for some to realise this.
The ones with ALL the braidmaids dropping off, it makes me wonder, what was the real reason behind that.. I guess we've seen to many bridezillas videos...
I was a bridesmaid when I was 7 months pregnant. I flew from Texas to Illinois to be there. I puked a few times before the ceremony, but I still was there for every photo. I danced out on the aisle. At the reception, I made sure to dance the whole night and helped clean up the venue. Sometimes you just got to push through for your friends.
You can't "just figure out" how to get money when you're broke.
I think Charlotte meant to talk to the couple and be honest about what you can and can’t afford. If they want you there, they will probably help you pay your way.
Crawled out of a washing machine and looked like a wet cat... Omg im dying 🤦😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😜
My best friend from high school asked me to be a bridesmaid. I was in a seriously stressful situation and did not respond to the request in the manner she wanted me to for several reasons. I was moving across the country and going to school amidst a major upheaval period in my life. The timing of her wedding made it so that the only thing I could possibly do is be there the day of, but even that was questionable. I did say I would do it. I later received a letter from my friend telling me she would find someone else to do it (this was in the ‘90’s.) I was hurt, but it also made sense to me.
When the wedding weekend arrived, I drove straight through from Seattle to St. Louis with nothing to wear to the wedding. I managed to take a nap, get up and go buy a dress and make it to the wedding on time. I did not know up until a week before if I would make it in time. But I did. All’s well that ends well. We are still the best of friends.
Omfg, the "Charlotte Cat" killed me...🤣😂
7:15 if she was uninvited and then showed up like that why did they take pictures with her?
It looked like older family members; I bet they didn’t know about all the drama that went down. They still must have thought it strange that she wore a wedding gown 🤣
One of my good friends since high school got married years ago and I lived in Miami while she was still in NYC. I had to go to a specific boutique to get the bridesmaid dress she wanted and it wasnt cheap but I happily did it for her. I was honored to be her bridesmaid. We had to help out with decorating the venue and with the wedding favors. I even did all the bridesmaids makeup since they liked how I did my makeup. It was one of the best weekends I've had and I was glad to be a part of it. I did have to save money for months to be able to fly out and stay in NYC because it isn't cheap.
A family emergency..........67 days in advance? That's some emergency.
Thank you for the entertainment. I’m on a cruise to Alaska by myself - so watching you makes me feel a little less by myself. Haha
Enjoy the cruise and enjoy the fact that you don’t have to share your room with anyone…there can be bonuses to being on your own. 💕
Definitely enjoy the adventure.
See if you can discreetly find out (use the staff, perhaps to make it not creepy) if anyone else is alone too and have them casually ask some of those people if they'd like to take a walk or something. Don't be weird about it, lol but you never know. Someone else might be feeling alone too, and you just might make you both (or all) feel less that way. Ask the staff not to use names or anything for safety, but you know...might find a lifelong friend. Just a thought.
My wife had to stay up the entire night before the wedding and fix her friend’s dress (who was a bridesmaid) because her friend purposely bought it too small
I’m still pretty pissed about it
Friend was pretty confident about dropping that 10 lbs wasn't she? 😆
@@shawnycoffman I bet it was more to do with the size tag. Remember, kids, if you by a size 0 and let it out, it still says size 0 on the tag!
But why? O.o When you fat, you fat!
Your wife is AWESOME! Sacrificing her sleep to help another person & the bride.
@@BrinLondo74 that’s why I was so mad. She already gets way too little sleep 😞
That’s usually how it goes, strangers can sometimes be more supportive than your own friends and family.
Okay that resort wedding, seemed more like someone forgot the rings than she was late. But that's just me.
Except, they weren't at the ceremony, they were doing photos.
My wedding was an absolute hoot… my bridesmaid best firmed came in Jeans and t-shirt, and her brand new 7 day old baby got ALL MY attention.. best day ever because all my favourite ppl were there dressed how they wanted. I’m divorced now but my ex and I are still best friends 20 years later. So are me and the brides maid and her now 19 year old child who got all my attention.. 😂
That's wonderful to hear regarding you and ex best friends. I'm friends with all my exes that choose it be mature. Breakups are natural, even ones with infidelity. I choose to look back at them with fondness with one exception: the ex who stalked me and spent time in jail for attempted abduction. But then who can be friends with someone like that lol?!
The "late" bridesmaid looked like she gave them stuff. I wonder if she forgot the ring and had to go back for it?
They were talking photos, what could she have forgotten? They would be wearing the rings already,
@@loosilu I just thought maybe she needed to get something for the bride. I don't know. 😂 I just try to give people the benefit of the doubt if I don't know. Lol
I almost missed my own wedding because my maid of honor literally took us on a joy ride (she was driving me & the other bridemaids to the chaple) & actually made everyone wait. She did sooo much more ignorant things. I found out 3 days after the wedding she had a miscarriage weeks before the wedding & was taking her anger out on me 🥂
I was in a strangers wedding! I worked at the venue! One of the bridesmaids had food poisoning and genuinely couldn’t make it. The bride was freaking out and I just so happen to be cleaning up in the bridal suite when she turned to me and asked what size dress I wore, I told her, and she asked if I could cover her friends spot, I said yes and it was a great time lol 😂
You guys must live in such a different world. I haven't gone overseas ever because I can't afford it. If my friends had a destination wedding in Hawaii... I mean 😟 how do you have all this money?
It’s even become a normal thing to do destination bachelorette trips…as if being in a wedding wasn’t already so very expensive and everyone has endless time off work to do a 3+ day trip.
It's always amazing to me how 2 people can make the same money, have the same bills in the same amount, and somehow one is able to always have money to burn while the other by no means wastes it. I don't get it.
Don't feel too bad. The closest I've been to another country is Detroit.
Going into debt for a wedding is a common practice, sadly.
A lot of these brides and grooms have their families to pay for everything. They grew up entitled as well so they think everyone lives like this. I would be more apt to want to blame the crappy parenting on this.
My Sister had a destination wedding in Thailand a couple of years ago, sadly my Husband and I just couldn't afford to attend ( she wanted me to be MOH), plus temperatures were in the 40+ degrees and my Husband and I have lots of health issues and we don't cope with heat very well. Sadly my Sister was unexpectedly widowed last December and we all miss our BIL every single day, it has left me regretting that I couldn't be at their wedding. X
I love how we all get the notification and immediately like the video before watching it 😂
If I don’t hit the like before, I always forget after 😆
I did wear a cream lace dress at my son and daughter-in-laws wedding. Let me explain (I can hear you saying "Go on ..."
It was a cosplay themed wedding . My son was Bruce Wayne, my DIL was Lydia from Beetlejuice, in the red wedding gown, best man was Dead Pool, maid of honor was Scoops Ahoy Robin from Stranger Things. Bride's mom was Cruella DeVille, and so I talked to my DIL and asked her if it was ok if I donned a purple wig, unicorn headband, cream dress with a turquoise Cutiemark, and went as Rarity from My Little Pony, or if should I choose something else. She loved it and said to wear anything EXCEPT red lace because she was wearing red lace. It was a fun wedding! We had 2 sets of Gomez and Morticias, a Scooby and Velma, various anime characters, a Medusa, and most of the guests were in some sort of cosplay. That said, it is only ok to wear white or cream to a wedding IF the bride says so.
Majority of these issues could have been avoided if the brides set their expectations out clearly before everyone committed to being in the wedding party. Open communication is key, and if you don't feel like you can have that kind of convo then that's a big sign for you not to add them into your wedding party.
This comment should be pinned. Open communication is our biggest failing as a species. We don't do nearly enough of it.
@@mage1439 No doubt!
Except the first and second. That's a far as I've gotten so far
Sometimes people don't respect boundaries even if you tell them about the boundaries.
@@cosmicrae if people dont respect your boundaries then you need to remind the person of your boundaries and if they keep pushing you need to ask yourself why you keep allowing someone into your life who treats you with such disrespect. You always have a choice. Just bc you dont like the choices doesnt mean you arent the person in control. You can allow the behavior to continue or you can make it stop. The people who stop with words are your friends. The people who stop only after action shouldnt be in your life.
Watch that drinking pacing. My sister (the bride) had champagne before her wedding thinking it would help relax her. She was fully dressed, in full makeup, etc. THEN she had to pee. This is the moment when everyone in the bridal party looks at me. Yes, I held the dress while the bride peed.
Lol. I had an outdoor wedding. Had to pee, worked out nicely because I was going commando I just had to run into the bushes. One Bridesmaid helped with the dress the other took a sneaky photo lol...no skin. It was just funny I didn't mind.
My brother in law when under my dress and I peed in a cup!
Maybe she's not late, maybe someone forgot the rings and she was nice enough to go back and get them. People always assume the worst.
The ceremony was long over, they were doing photos. That girl was late. Hangover city!
I don't care what the story was with that, I just loved the running commentary.
Girls helping girls should be the way to go!! Not the other way round. I feel so happy when I see women standing up for each other, whether it's any big event or the smallest of things!
I was a bridesmaid (a few times) and the bride…well. We went to highschool together (she was a year ahead) and also had a few college classes together, talked online and went on a trip together. She asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. I agreed. She insisted we have the same everything (all the same jewelry, shoes, hair and makeup, and dress. Same color nails, which we painted at her house the morning of, where the wedding was held.) and we paid for all our own everything, even the expensive dress. I went above and beyond, despite not being her MOH, volunteering to help make centerpieces and guest favors, volunteering to come to her home and set up, and even driving an hour away the night before to set up the reception hall. We had the wedding, in November, outside. We wore strapless dresses and were so cold that a few of the elderly women pitied us during photos at the end and got us blankets because we were shivering. I don’t think my friend liked that we were covering our dresses, but we had taken the main photos and were just greeting/thanking people. We had the reception, and I stayed to help after. After the wedding, my “friend” ghosted me. The one time I was able to speak to her she mentioned she was just SO busy with married life she didn’t have time to talk. It’s been several years and we haven’t talked since. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering if I did something wrong…because I asked for donuts the morning of the wedding (which she said there were going to be but didn’t get, so we were expected to just be hungry until the reception)? Or maybe because I almost dropped the box of glass centerpieces (which she freaked out on me for, but someone had decided to just fold the bottom of the box together and not tape it, she’s lucky I managed to catch them)? The only other thing I can think of is one of the groomsmen asked me out and I initially said yes, but cancelled a week later, due to my anxiety. I’ve not been on a date and I was freaking out, so I had to cancel. None of these things warrant her ghosting me in my opinion, especially not with how much I volunteered to help out multiple days, but maybe I’m wrong?
Sweetie you were too good for her...so don't blame yourself abt any of these things...she don't deserve you and you are better of without her
This feels very fitting. I'm literally writing a story where the female protagonist is a bridesmaid and the bride does a sudden auction of the bridesmaids to 1) get more money for her honeymoon and 2) to get the female protagonist hooked up with her stalker.
This sounds juicy!! Do share your story when you finish! Love that for you, dearie!
Ooooooooooo
Oh my...I am intrigued...
So has the bride also become a pimp? I hope the bridesmaids made it clear that they were not participating in the auction.
@@7ShadowMaiden7 This is up on preorder on Amazon already, due out on the 26th August. Rescuing the Bridesmaid. The first scene is at the wedding, but the rest is the aftermath.
Have a wonderful day Charlotte ❤️ My sister demanded a certain dress for my wedding. It looked like an evening gown and refused to go unless she got to wear it. We eloped, easier and we spent the wedding money on a great honeymoon.
I LOOOVE girls helping girls!💙 Dood seriously! It's ALL about the sisterhood, end of story. Also, communication and honesty in ANY relationship is key! Ladies that are upfront, honest and kind-hearted, you ROCK and will always have a place in my heart! 💙
at my wedding, my wife and I agreed no reception since it was still during COVID and we had dinner that all. It made it a nice quiet family and friends together to celebrate my wife and I getting married and it was great for me. I don't like large gathering/parties so this was amazing. I know in the future when I do have to money I will give my wife the reception she so well deserve. It may not happen anytime soon but it will happen.
If you're not planning on doing a reception any time soon, you can always opt for a vow renewal ceremony. You can still keep it small, with people you love. She gets a new dress along with the reception. I'm sure she'd love to see you all dressed up again too. Just a thought.
@@amayasego3812 we got married a year ago. So there is no plans at this time. We do have some ideas but that is for the future. We never know what the future entails.
My parents did something similar. They first got officially married with my dad's grandparents as witnesses to make sure they could be there, then they had a small ceremony in California with 16 people, including them and the officiant. Afterward, they went out for lunch at a restaurant nearby. They said they wouldn't change a thing.
I always laugh at people who deliberately wear white (or near-white) to weddings to 'show up the bride' and make a scene... because it just makes THEM look like complete idiots.
And desperate, and sad! 😆
Sorry I'm late for the wedding, Charlotte just dropped a new video. It was hilarious.
Kylee, omg she seems so kind and gentle. Kindness was flowing through the way she talked.
This video is absolutely iconic 😂 Charlottes face here.. when the girl says “you don’t want me around because I’m hot” truly stunning… you can see she was shook
My maid of honor spent a lot of my wedding and bachelorette party (and now has done this at other people’s weddings) talking about her own engagement, wedding, honeymoon, and buying a house with her boyfriend. They aren’t engaged still after several years of her doing this, and we’re no longer friends.
"I'm not the center of attention for one day? Inconceivable!" Honestly, you got lucky. You found out what matters to her before you really needed her for something urgent.
Yaas! I'm with Charlotte on enjoying cake icing more than the cake 🎂 sometimes go to the bakery just to buy a small container of icing. Good to dip animal cookies into.
@@Cynophileandavianenthusiast I don't know, cake is pretty good. I mean, the frosting is better, but the cake is no mouthful of dirt itself.
Cake, ice cream, and some Ruffles are the perfect meal whether you're 2 or 102.
My friend got married last year. She told me she had a bridesmaid who was in grad school, so she really didn't have money. Herself & some of the other bridesmaids chipped in for things like her dress & the bachelorette party so this girl could go. I found that very sweet of them.
When my younger sister had her wedding, I was a bridesmaid. Since I couldn't really afford anything, the other bridesmaids helped me pay for stuff.
A "Family Emergency" 67 days before the wedding? That is not an emergency.
It is if it's a family member w dementia or someone having a psychotic break, or a pregnancy going wrong; not all emergencies are last minute.
It does sound suspicious. But I had a friend bail on a wedding where she was supposed to be a bridesmaid. They moved the date, with plenty of warning thankfully. But she was pregnant and it was too close to her due date and traveling to another state wasn't possible.
Maybe. I could think of some circumstances where someone had to devote the next couple of months to family.
The part that sounds stranger to me is everyone dropping out for financial reasons. What expenses was she demanding them to cover?
A bride loosing ALL your bridesmaid... sounds like a red flag to me!!!
Yes, that was definitely a her problem, not a them problem
3:25 "If you havin' bridesmaid problems I feel bad for you son I got 99 strangers, but a friend ain't one" 😂😂
If someone asked me to be a brides maid I would 100% give it a go, even with my low income status. I know how it feels to have zero people celebrate special stuff with you.
❤️
I just came back from holiday and am now binge watching your last 15 episodes ☺️
Weddings sometimes ruin friendships. In my wedding, one of the best men simply told me he wouldn't be able to go to the ceremony on the day before and gave me no plausible justification. I had to find an emergency replacement and everything worked fine, but I haven't talked to my former best man since.
Your final line to the last bridesmaid is like, straight up read my mind!! 🤯🤯
And I bet 100% those bridesmaids transforms into one-of-a-kind bridezilla on their own wedding.
I remember my aunt (technically part of the brides maid) literally ruined most of the wedding photos because her phone was in all of the shots taking photos too lmao
Stop wearing white at a western wedding if you're NOT the bride.
We evicted my wife's cousin who attempted this....she flipped out until the police were quietly called.
Then she fled with her cheap date.
I like to envision her flittering away like a cartoon bad guy who's been foiled again.
hmm. can i comment with an unpopular opinion? at the end of the day, a wedding is just a few hours, of two people celebrating their love, and committing to each other in front of others. why actually get to the point of calling the police on a cousin? a white dress? that sounds a little exaggerated, and sad
@@mage1439 LOL
@@sabrinaziv6086 Well she was asked to leave very nicely by the venue's security. She declined. Screamed. Carried on like a drunk nutjob.
Hope that answers all the questions, Your Highness [Eye Roll].
Entitled much?
@@sabrinaziv6086 she's being rude when asked to leave tho.. if she knew the unwritten rules about wedding, she wouldn't wear white dress. If she didn't know, she would be apologize and understand why she asked to leave. But no, she thinks she's very important that social rule can't bind her and threw a fit because she thinks it's just "few hours ceremony" anyway.
I think we need context from the actual wedding party on that first video. While it does look like she was late bc she started running for photos, we dont know what caused her to be in that situation. With the thousdands of flight delays/cancelations in the states right now due to pilot shortages, they say it could take up to two days to rebook a flight. I cant say that's what happened though directly. I'm just playing devils advocate to see if anything else could have happened that was more reasonable than "i didnt feel good"
2. Who does that?
3. That's not the bridesmaids call at that point. I wanna see pics
4. Wtf. No. You look like a bride too. Pick something else.
5. That sucks that her bridesmaids pulled out. But she was a positive about it and met new friends through this!
6. And this is why we communicate.
7. Again, no.
8. Wow, why so selfish. Glad you arent friends with her.
9. I also cant process this either lol that's when you tell that bridemaid that you're cutting her from the wedding and she's also not invited because she's being a bitch proving why you chose the other person as your MOH and then block her on everything, including phone
Who knows she could have been taking a shit so 🤷♀️ I honestly can say I've been late just simply bc I was ready than as soon as I step foot out the door to leave I have to use the bathroom. Literally there's millions of reasons to why she was running late that day we really cannot judge her when we don't know the full story
I was wondering if it was a destination wedding and she just couldn't afford the resort/hotel, some people can't afford that and have to stay at a motel 6 or something
@@jessbeingme8155 that's possible too and she was coming day of and hopped right into pics.
I had a bridesmaid not show up to my wedding and the bridesmaids were integral to my ceremony so I had to grab one of my friends that was there as a guest to be my bridesmaid. I will forever be grateful to her for stepping up last minute.
omg that poor girl who needed help 67 days before her wedding for bridesmaids and she got so much love and support im literally crying. literally crying. i hope they became super good friends after!
When i got married, I chose my best friend of 15 years to be my maid of honour, one of my other friends took offence to this and when I asked her to be one of my bridesmaids she ghosted me, i didn't know why until years later when her husband was talking to my husband and explained why she stopped speaking to me. I have never been more surprised and confused in my life since at the time she had been one of my closest friends.
I missed you Charlotte!! Went on a weeklong off grid vacation... Loved all of it. ONLY thing I missed was watching your videos!!
The dog bark for 'b!tch' made me laugh way too hard. That needs to be an ongoing thing.
My god! That bark sound at the end of the video was sooo sooo funny I had tears in my eyes from laughing! Really good!
For my wedding I was to have my two best friends as bridesmaids. My one bridesmaid was pregnant at the time and her baby was due a week before our wedding. We were hoping and praying that the baby would come on time or after the wedding. However… her daughter had other ideas, and was born on my wedding day 😅
It sucked that she wasn’t at my wedding, but we are super happy that baby came into this world. We joke around that her daughter knew the wedding date and planned to make the day about her #selfishbaby. 😂 she is the cutest thing ever though. Love that we share our anniversary with my new nieces birthday.
You’re a blessing Charlotte always making me laugh thank you young lady love the positivity the world needs more of it 🇦🇺💜🇮🇹
Having the dog bark sound to cover up you saying the "b" word had me losing it
* If I was asked to go to a wedding and be my friend's bridesmate, I'd first think about it, I wouldn't just show up, because it depends what friend asks me to be her bridesmaid.
* OMG, I absolutely LOVED the bark at the very end of Charlotte's sentence, that literally made me laugh out loud 😆 🤣
Hey lady thanks for the solid entertainment!
