Are you a bridezilla? Read this.

I know it's your special day and you think it should be all about you, but here's some real life stories from the former friends of badly behaving brides.

Re: Are you a bridezilla? Read this.
I always wonder what people's lives are like a year after their wedding when they don't have the hoopla anymore.
The story of the bride who expected her bridesmaid to wipe her ass is the worst.
ETA: I'm taking that back. The stepmother who didn't want her stepdaughters at the ceremony was the worst.
But seriously, what do people do when the wedding is over and they go back to real life? H (so weird!!) and I were relieved to not be the center of attention any longer, as sad as we were to have our family and friends leave town.
Apparently saying no means getting slapped.
My jaw hit the floor when I read that one. I would have left the reception and taken my gift back with me.
Dating: 6/21/16
Engaged: 3/20/17
Wedding: 2/24/18
Also, $2400 for a DRESS? And the one with the "matching makeup." I bet those results were... interesting.
Right!?! And that her friend was outraged she wasn't willing to pay that, kicked her out of the WP, and basically terminated their friendship. I would have been like, "Friend, I wouldn't spend that kind of cash on my OWN wedding dress. Much less a BM dress."
Yup. Including alterations, my wedding gown was around $1300. If someone expected me to drop that kind of money on a bridesmaid dress I would kick myself out of that bridal party so fast.
Side story - as a MOH for my bff's wedding, she was pregnant {due in January - this was August} and when she went to the bathroom she asked I could join her because with her dress, she couldn't close the bathroom stall and wanted me to essentially "stand guard" so she could pee.
She had such a hard time managing, I offered my help. We laugh about this now because there's a product out there that is designed to help keep your dress up while you pee. But this is now chalked up to inside jokes.
Moral of the story, there is a difference between DEMANDING your friend to help and your friend OFFERING their help.
