Some brides have done the most unexpected things, from throwing tantrums on their big day to kicking out their bridesmaids over petty issues. These women were in a bad mood when they made decisions that hurt the people around them. The day a woman ties the knot with the man she loves is one of the most important days of her life.
It marks the beginning of a new chapter of her life, but it also comes with uncertainty and fear. The fear and anxiety often annoy brides while planning their wedding. They want things to go their way, and even the slightest inconvenience sometimes makes them break down and turn into bridezilla.
Some netizens on Reddit shared stories of brides-to-be who got extremely difficult to deal with. Even their family and friends weren’t expecting them to act like that. Comments have been edited for clarity and grammar.
u/hulagirl4737: I knew a woman who was a bridesmaid in a relative’s wedding. She was married and had been trying to get pregnant for a while. Finally, she and her hubby got lucky, and she conceived.
Meanwhile, the bridezilla got furious and kicked her out of the wedding. The bride-to-be was angry because the bridesmaid would look pregnant in the pictures. Three months later, sadly, the woman miscarried.
The bride called her with a response similar to “Good, well now you can be back in the wedding.” Needless to say, she did not even attend it. u/nadia61: It was a stinking hot, humid day, and nobody wanted to be outside for the outdoor wedding. We were doing wedding party photos, and everyone was dripping in sweat, and about to pass out, so we decided to finish the rest of the pics in a nice shady spot.
Meanwhile, the bride had other demands. She threw an actual, honest-to-God tantrum to make the party hike across the venue grounds to get shots in front of a full-sun pond. None of her bridesmaids wanted to do the ten-minute walk in their heels, and it would have been a terrible spot for photos, which we mentioned.
She pouted her way through the rest, and they divorced a year later. u/kidtendomom: I had a friend who threw a temper tantrum with screaming and foot stomping because her grandmother dared to die a few hours before her wedding. The bride-to-be said it would throw off the seating arrangements because now there would be a big empty spot.
She is currently halfway through her 2nd divorce. u/Blazingwand: Two weeks before my girlfriend’s mother was to tie the knot, her future brother-in-law went missing. He was supposed to be the best man, but he went missing after he went out for a delivery.
No one knew where he went. On the morning of the wedding, the groom-to-be got a call that the police had found his brother. They found him dead in a ditch, and his delivery truck had disappeared.
The husband-to-be was horrified and told the bride he couldn’t get married that day. She slapped him and stormed out, screaming that she couldn’t believe HE could be so selfish and that today wasn’t just about him and his stupid brother. My girlfriend was just as mad.
Me and the groom-to-be left them that day, and we are good friends to this day. u/boredlike: I went to a wedding where the bride had replaced a bridesmaid of her at the last minute because of a tiny issue. The bride was very particular about her requirements.
The bridesmaid she replaced had dyed her hair a slightly lighter brown the night before the wedding. Apparently, it didn’t match the bright pink dress. u/isstronglikebull: My friend, the bride, had this massive, billowing explosion of organza as a skirt.
It was beautiful but utterly impractically designed. She had been drinking on an empty stomach, and on the second trip to the restroom with all of us holding this dress up while she hovered drunkenly over a toilet she couldn’t see, she ordered me to wipe her. I declined.
So, she slapped me. All parties dropped the skirt while I shouted obscenities at her. She screamed that this friendship was over if I didn’t do this for her!
Over! She tried to apologize years later but seemed surprised when I was not interested in rekindling our friendship. u/Carsons_mom: As a hairstylist, I’ve seen a few bridezillas.
This one affected me directly. So, mid-week, a woman comes in and asks about updos for a wedding that upcoming weekend. She told my boss that she wanted something “funky” done with her hair.
My boss then booked her with me. It’s Saturday morning, and she’s in my chair. I get started.
I am nearly finished when she starts complaining that she wanted more of a classic Audrey Hepburn style. I’m confused because it’s too late to change, and my next client has arrived. This woman loses it.
She says I wasn’t listening to her and calls her mother to talk sense into me. She is almost in tears, wondering how to explain her hair to her future in-laws. Her mom arrives and tells her that her hair looks beautiful, pays me, and drags her out of the salon.
It was a shocking experience for everyone. u/EewStopitNow: My boyfriend’s brother got married, and the groom’s phone alarm went off in his pocket in the middle of the ceremony. The bride flipped out and interrupted the pastor to reach into the groom’s pocket for his phone, which he had already silenced.
Then, she started complaining, “I can’t believe you let your phone go off in the middle of our wedding.”
She handed it to the maid of honor and said, “Remind me to smash that later.” She also rolled her eyes when the pastor was talking about God, chatted with the groom during the talk about keeping a marriage together, and, during the vows part, interrupted the pastor to say, “The father, the son, the holy spirit, yeah I know.”
u/AlannaBraavos: The bride was very mean. The groom proposed when she told him she was pregnant. She later said she had a miscarriage.
At that point, his friends urged him to call it off. The best man spent the morning of the wedding trying to convince him that it wasn’t too late. Soon, the wedding table was organized with men on one side and women on the other since all the groomsmen refused to sit beside her.
When the bride looked up during the reception to see she was the only woman at the table, she stormed off into the ladies’ room, where she found the bridesmaids. The youngest bridesmaid, thirteen, had officially entered womanhood. Unprepared, she had hung out in the ladies’ room until someone she knew arrived.
The two older bridesmaids were trying to find a solution. This was not good enough for Bridezilla, who screamed, blaming the junior bridesmaid for ruining her wedding deliberately. She demanded that the other two bridesmaids come out and attend her immediately.
She yelled so loudly that every person at the reception knew what had happened. Apparently, a guest ran in to help with supplies. Older two bridesmaids eventually come out and sit at the bridal table because Bridezilla wouldn’t shut up until they did.
Indeed, the groomsmen felt that they had TMI. u/Himsjustaboy: I was working at a popular vacation spot on the East Coast where a bride wanted her ceremony on the beach at sunset, with the sun setting over the water. She lost her cool upon learning that the sun would be setting over land, not the water.
She did not understand that the sun sets in the west and she was on the east coast. u/[deleted]: I was a replacement bridesmaid at a wedding at the last minute… because the woman I was replacing had been sent to prison for beating her child. The problem was that the original bridesmaid was two feet shorter and two hundred pounds heavier than me.
It was an epic dash to find me a dress that day. u/rammaam: I once flew into a foreign country for this woman’s wedding since I was a bridesmaid. During the time I was there, I witnessed her shoving her daughter, starving and neglecting her pets, constantly fighting with her fiancé, trying to control what I ate, accusing me of stealing from her since I took a Pepsi from the refrigerator after they said to make myself at home, freaking out the night before as we were setting up because everything was wrong.
After the day had come and gone and I flew home, I got an email about a month later saying, “You really annoyed everyone! They all found you rude and lazy. My husband isn’t calling you names.
He’s only calling you out on how you are.” I told her to have a good life and blocked her. The next thing I knew, someone threatened and harassed my friends and family, made fake profiles with my name and photo, and added my number and address on Facebook with some unsuitable messages. u/[deleted]: My father is one of eight and has four sisters.
My grandfather, who worked hard all his life, lived on his pension for twenty years after retirement. He had paid for the weddings of each of his girls. My aunt, who was getting married for the third time, lost her cool when my grandfather refused to pay for her 300-person island wedding in the Bahamas.
