Every bride wants her wedding day to be perfect, but one woman’s attempt at perfection has made her guests very angry and messed up her wedding plans. The bride, who wishes to remain private, went to Reddit to ask other users if her strict wedding rules were too strict.
The bride and her fiancé made a list of rules for their guests, which included tight rules about what to wear, no cell phones during the ceremony and dinner, and bridesmaids having to stay the same weight. The rules were clear, and people who didn’t follow them would be turned away.
This rule really bothered the bride’s aunt, who had just started wearing bright clothes again after a time of grief.
A big problem was that cell phones weren’t allowed at the ceremony or dinner. Many guests were worried that they wouldn’t be able to check on their kids or handle situations. The bride didn’t seem to care and said that if she bowed to one person, she would have to bow to everyone.
The bride made the bridesmaids follow the same strict rules. They had to stay at a healthy weight and wear outfits that they had already bought. The girls were furious about this rule, and some even said they might not go to the wedding.
Coming up on the wedding day, the bride started getting last-minute cancellations from guests who didn’t want to follow the strict rules. Some people didn’t show up, like the bride’s maid of honor, who was asked to leave her daughter with a babysitter during the service.
When the bride tried to explain her rules on Reddit, she was criticized by many users, who called her and her fiancé “assholes.” People who commented said that while the couple planning the wedding can do what they want, guests don’t have to agree to unreasonable requests and can turn down the offer.
The bride’s strict rules have thrown off her wedding plans in the end, as many guests have decided not to go because they don’t want to follow the rules. “You can’t tell people how to live their lives or what to wear,” said one Reddit user. The wedding is for you, not for the government.
