Here is one...

So this is a story about a wedding I didn’t go to.
She is still my friend, we have been friends for many years and she was in my wedding.
She is also self centered and ‘spiritual’ but that is usually a vehicle for her narcissism.

So she gets engaged and thus begins the asks.
1. She has an amazon wish list for her wedding supplies. Not just a few things, or help for some special expensive things but everything, she had her paper plates on the list!
2. She got a friend to buy her wedding dress.
3. She wanted to do a grooms gift which is cute except you guessed it! She wanted to crowd fund it!
4. It was a potluck reception. Not awful on its own but with asking for everything else to be paid for it makes it super extra tacky
5. She also had a registry and expected to get gifts in addition to all of the above.
6. She put a post of fb asking for people to tell her ahead of time if they were coming so she wouldn’t waste money on extra invites (then why even have them?)
7. Not 6months after getting married she started a go fund me for 50k so her and her husband could stop working for a year and “live their best lives” I know it’s not part of the wedding...but it kinda is!

Anyone of these on their own would be tacky/rude but all together it was pretty breathtaking to watch unfold. And made me glad she was in another state so I had a good excuse to not attend!

So I need to shame a wedding I was asked to be in in college. Bride was a friend from high school. Not so much shaming the bride, just the entire experience in general.

So my friend gets engaged to her boyfriend in her junior year in college and plans her wedding for right after her graduation. She was talking to me one day and asked me to be a bridesmaid. I was super excited to be a part of her wedding party, as it was the first wedding I’ve ever been a part of. She is super excited as well and tells me she can’t wait to have me in her wedding party. She tells me another friend from high school is her MOH, which I was surprised about but not really at the same time. So I said well that’s nice. And bride says, well I would have asked you to be my MOH, but she’s just “more organized” than I am. Haha okay cool. Now, I hadn’t talked to the MOH since high school because of some petty bullshite that went down. So I wasn’t thrilled to have to put up with this girl, but I did whatever I could to be civil and not have anything from the past come up because it wasn’t about that.

So Bride tries her best to do things in a budget because we were all in college. She found dresses at Macy’s that she really likes. Shows us the picture and tells us to go buy it. Black dresses for a June wedding. Okay. (side note: saw the same dress on a high school classmate’s mother at another wedding ????). She picks out the shoes, and tells me not to worry, she has the shoes in my size and says she’d give them to me. Later on, gives the shoes to me and asks me to pay full price for shoes SHE HAS ALREADY WORN. Whatever. Paid for them. I’m not one to try and make waves. She later on tells me I didn’t pay for them yet when I told her I did, but again, don’t want to make waves. Pay her for the shoes again. This time by check.

BACHELORETTE PARTY TIME!!! When discussing with MOH, we try and brainstorm plans. I’m super excited. I suggest renting a party bus and bar hopping in the nearby big city. This idea is nixed. INSTEAD, MOH decides that we go to a local chain restaurant for dinner, then head back to the bride’s Mother’s house where we could play DDR and watch Disney movies! She also hired a rock fortune teller (where you pick a stone from the pile and the fortune teller reads your rock...kinda cool, kinda stupid). Probably the most embarrassing/boring bachelorette party ever. I felt bad. Bride didn’t seem to mind, but I never actually asked her about it.

Wedding day eve comes, and we are getting our nails done. I tell the nail tech that I wanted a French manicure. MOB tells me that’s not an option (mind you, I’m the one paying). I politely ask why not, and she said that the bride should be the only one with French manicured nails and that the bridesmaids all need to wear the same color because apparently the color of our nails was going to make a world of difference in the pictures to make the flowers pop... yeah... you couldn’t tell what color our nails were.

Day of the wedding: we go to get our hair done. Bride dictates how my hair needs to be done (didn’t mind how my hair came out, but stupid that I didn’t have a choice considering that again, I’m the one paying).
We all get ready. Wouldn’t you know that MOB is wearing this gold shiny monstrosity IMO to outshine her daughter.

The rest of the day went relatively well overall, the wedding was fun for the most part.

bride went on to grad school nearly 2 states away and would only be home with husband on weekends. Needless to say, they are divorced.

WTF??

that sounds like a regular wedding to me

I'm talking about the bachelorette party.

How would you like to go to a bachelor party where yall ate at Chili's and then went to the mother of the groom's house to hang out and watch Disney movies?

All women are idiots.

One girl posted her own wedding photo....and said she let her husband have control of most of the wedding planning.


And this is what the groomsmen were wearing...for their beach wedding. That also had a Star Wars/Harry Potter theme. With a cake with Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Deadpool on it.





To be fair, the bride looked beautiful in her traditional lace dress. And her bouquet made of a paper flowers made from old books with a light saber stem...was kinda cool looking. And the fact that she let her fiance have that much control over wedding planning...shows she is a laid back low maintenance chick willing to go along with whatever.

Yeah, I'd say this one takes the cake.

If this is true, she sounds like one privileged, ungrateful bitch. And frick her for her comments about people who go to Las Vegas.

First of all, I am not sure if it is possible to know that someone is your dream guy at the age of 14. Can anyone here say they were the same person at 18 as they were when they were 14? And beyond that, you continue to change even more.

She gives herself credit for working hard and saving up $15k, which is good, however; it was all for a one day event. But then when she couldn't afford her dream wedding and expected people to pay $1500, that is some coon shite crazy type shite.

It doesn't matter how much someone has, asking someone to spend $1500 specifically on you is pretty bold. IDGAF who is getting married, if you send me a wedding invite and it says I need to pay $1500 to attend, I am not going. I'd donate $1500, put it her name and send her a card showing that instead of going to her wedding I decided to donate to whatever, in her name just to prove a point.
