Epic Bridesmaid E-mail

divinemsbee · October 2012

Not my own, but saw this and thought it was hilarious (in a very very sad way).

I don't think I'd even dignify it with a response.

mrsfrontrunner · October 2012

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.

LDubHawksFan · October 2012

Speechless...

NOLAbridealmost · October 2012

Wow. What a thundercvnt.

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.

StephBeanWed61502 · October 2012

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.

achiduck · October 2012

How does she even have 10 friends to pick from?

Girlie1030 · October 2012

Totally with Steph on this one. That chick is crazy.

loca4pook · October 2012

I would LOVE to see how her bridesmaids reaction to getting this email..Also, what is her response knowing it went viral

meganrboorsma · October 2012

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.

mrskristinyc · October 2012

Wow, this is terrifying...

PJSPJS · October 2012

Do you think this is real???!!!!

[Deleted User] · October 2012

Wow. B*tch.

I just sent this to my three bridesmaids and told them I apparently was doing something wrong. I want a redo.

pearlaqua · October 2012

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.

rachelm13 · October 2012

I forwarded this along to all my BMs and asked them specifically to roundhouse kick me in the face if I ever do anything like this.

warpedredpenguin · October 2012

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.

AlexaNP · October 2012

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!!

Peledreamsofrain · October 2012

Hahahaa! Oh dear me, I needed that laugh this morning. Thanks for sharing!

MegenQ · October 2012

I loved the part about you only plan a wedding once, for some reason I think she may have to plan another one if she treats people this way.

Kate61487 · October 2012

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.....

<div>I think that's the part that really killed me, assuming they were being serious. Some of the commenters were just as ridiculous as the alleged bride-to-be.</div>

arendiva · October 2012

While I would totally decline to be a bridesmaid I would definitely go to the wedding. I'd want to see if anyone agreed to be a bridesmaid.

zitiqueen · October 2012

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

ChristineNB · October 2012

Wow. That was epic. I wonder if it was one of her bridesmaids that leaked the e-mail.

I've been dreaming about my wedding day since I was little and I can't imagine telling my friends that they will be kicked out of my wedding if they can't make it to my engagment party or bridal shower or bachelorette party. I don't expect my friends to give up 7 months of their lives just for one freaking day!

Cole&Kailee · October 2012

This sounds like an episode of Bridezillas. UGH!!! Gross.

Oh, that makes everything ok.

VJones1981 · October 2012

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.

I'm SO glad she did!
