I laughed. At her demands and her grammar. Poor bridesmaids. I of course mean that I feel bad for them, not that they are having financial issues. Because that is not allowed.
I would have replied and CC'd everyone (except L--) that I could safely say I would be sick, have to work, and have family things to do on each of her party dates.
I am pretty certain my response to that would be some version of "Please delete my email address and phone number from your address book and forget we ever met, you flucking psycho."
Seriously though, how do women like this have friends? This can't be the first time she acted like such an entitled, bratty, controlling lunatic.
Between the colossally bad grammar and the ego-centric rant, not only would I respectfully decline her invitation to join the wedding party, I'd decline the invitation to the wedding, lose her contact information, and possibly change my name in order to never have any contact with this monster ever again. Horrifying.
OK, I can't be the only one who thinks that it might be possible for people to figure out who this is and then in a year see who showed up? Or just heckle the bride?
There are a lot of identifying details there!
Not sure Gawker should've left the cities intact. Or fiance's name.
Have you read the comments? Some girls are saying they wish they'd been that strict with their bridesmaids. It's a wedding, not a court hearing, why do they NEED to be at every event?

Unfortunately for the world, yes I do.
There are some crazy all-about-me people in this world.
I think my favorite part is "a few girls live out of town...." She's having parties in three different cities about as far apart as you can get without leaving the country. Which town do they not live in? b/c this ish isn't local for ANYONE.....

Yahoo shine wrote an article with resposes to parts of the email. I can't post the link from my phone, but you can find it on the may 2013 board under the title this takes the cake.

Yes, one of the 10 potential bridesmaids leaked it to Gawker.

If this is real, I really wish she would see that article AND that I could see her reaction!
If it's not real, it definitely gave me some good laughs this morning!!

You know there are brides over on the Wedding Bee wondering why everybody thinks the bride is out of line.
