Story 1: Your sister blocked her fiance's parents from attending the wedding, and he still married her? I predict that he will be bankrupt before their first anniversary.
Last "Chillzilla" story... I'm now a retired renovation contractor. At the start of my training I was taught the importance of having in the contract a special, LARGE PRINT, page stipulating the terms and conditions for "Addons", EG: $X amount per hour per tradesperson required + materials. That page needed to be separately signed by the client. Whenever a client wanted an addon an addendum was needed to be written and signed by the client stating they fully understood and agreed to the terms and conditions. Man! that saved us SOOO much hassle and legal bills!!
This must just be a Southern Thang. If any woman (other than the bride) wears white to a wedding. A "Drunken Aunt" from the other side of the wedding will stagger towards white dress, and "Accidently Spill" the whole glass of red wine down the entire front of the offending white dress.

The most outrageous wedding story in my family starts with the phrase “it was a surprise wedding for the bride…” and gets further off the rails from there. The wedding still happened and the couple is still married 10+ years later. Shout out to Robert from David’s Bridal in Brooklyn Park, Maryland for helping a size 30 woman find a wedding dress for a size 2 bride without ever meeting the bride!

Years ago i had a cousin I'd only met once as a child. His mother, who i also wasn't close to, called and said he was getting married in my city and i should go. I was barely surviving and couldn't take a day off. If i did, i wouldn't eat that day and couldn't afford the bills. I also had nothing to wear but old t shirts and jeans and couldn't even afford the bus pass. She literally couldn't understand that. I was very clear. She then tried to say he was only getting married in my city for me. Yeah, right. I got pissed at the blatant manipulation and told her to never call me again. Sorry i like to eat every day and have a roof over my head.🙄 That wasn't even the dumbest or worst thing she said to me. As in why don't you visit your dad's grave( in another state)? How? By magically wishing myself there and back?

Hmmm, you know, I think if an entrepreneur set up a service where they offer faux weddings purely to pamper a paying "bride", the business would make bank. Shoot, they could even provide temporary grooms so she won't have to go searching for a partner or deal with the pesky aftermath of dumping them after she gets done.
My friends just had a beautiful destination wedding. They knew that no one in our friend group could afford it so they made it immediate family only, knowing that both their families could afford it. And then next month we're all having a small friend get together at their place to celebrate. Taking other people into consideration when planning a big event? Wow, imagine that.
Story 1 - I don’t blame OP and her husband for not attending her Entitled Sister’s wedding because she’s a gold digging narcissist. I sure as hell wouldn’t go.
I recently got married, and it was so chill. Everyone (about 25 people) wore what they wanted, including us. No color scheme. No bridal party. Went to a park, then went out to lunch. The fanciest thing was a lace shawl I made for the day. My oldest niece is planning her 300-person wedding, and I'm glad she's good at planning!
I can't recommend a simple wedding too highly. I made my own dress, the total guest list was five, and afterwards we all went for a spiffing French meal in a 5 star restaurant. The whole thing cost well under £500. The money we saved went towards a month-long honeymoon on the south coast of Crete.
My sister had about 100 people at her wedding in 2009. I lived out of the country for most of the planning, but helped where I could. I love planning parties, events etc. And have a reoccurring nightmare that she is getting remarried to her current husband, and she gives me 24 hours to plan everything. She's promised she'll give me at least a week's notice if the renew their vows, I could pull something small off in a week.
Last story: "How TF do you tell a client to stop being so relaxed and no I won't throw in things for free?" It's easy, just say: "No, I'm sorry, it's too late to change that now. You should have brought it up earlier." A few candles? Sure, we might be able to bend the rules a bit. 130 extra candles with complicated setup? Nope, sorry, that's just not gonna happen today. Should have mentioned it earlier if you wanted that. But you said it was OK if some things couldn't be done, right? So it just can't be done, and that should be OK. Anyway, moving on... Sure, a professional will want to do what they can to make things go well, and you can certainly be nice and throw in a few extras _if you want to,_ but at the end of the day, you're only required to deliver what you contractually promised to deliver, nothing else, and if you tell them "no" there really isn't anything much they can do about it at that point. What are they going to do, go out the day of the wedding and find a new coordinator to do everything for them?
As for the bride looking forward to her next wedding, maybe instead of going through another divorce, she could have a huge reception for her wedding anniversaries. She could arrive in a carriage pulled by white horses, release doves, have her name written in the sky, dress as a princess........well, you get the picture. You know, like little girls pretending to be royalty.
My last job the owner told me at my interview they were high strung, after I got hired they would scream at all of us for the place being a hot mess when everything was going smoothly, they would start "helping" us and everything would go to crap. I left because I couldn't take them grabbing dirty dishes and just spraying them off to send food out when they had stacks of clean plates but according to them they were completely out of plates. I now work for a relaxed boss who calls everyone a moron without actually using the word. His wife, who manages the place, will give me a job to do and then he'll tell me I'm wasting his money by doing worthless work. They are so "relaxed" I now have digestion issues.
As the daughter of a makeup artist/hair stylist and a wedding planner/caterer, who has been to more weddings than I can count, I agree with you on the last story. The same is true of clients in any industry, I think. The worst clients are typically the ones who supposedly don’t care or know what they want. They will have you wasting just as much time as the outwardly-Karen client, without giving you the ability to call them out on blatant hostility and bad behavior.
But isn't that part of the work? I mean, helping the people decide and see alternatives? I am a programmer, and it would be easier if clients knew exactly what they want, but 90% of the time I have to re-do almost everything a couple of times before they get what they really want... Not everyone is going to spend their time going over all the possibilities on their own and came to you with a clear idea
Story 4: Wow, just wow! Gee, Susan, maybe no one, including the literal BRIDE and GROOM, wanted to talk with you because you decided to wearing a WHITE WEDDING DRESS to somebody else's wedding! Susan: ( *crying like a baby and throwing a tantrum* ) No one's talking to MEEEEEE! Even though I am NOT the bride, people should ALWAYS talk to ME!
There was a reddit wedding story where the bride trick her mother in law and sister in law into wearing white. She was goth. But had agreed to a traditional marriage with a few exceptions with her husband. She wrote only to her mother in law and sister in laws invation no white. But on everyone else invite could wear their old wedding gowns because the bride is wearing black. Its a funny story
Last story I would make a rule that only three changes are able to be made or you'll charge $100 each additional change to the original contract. Changes are allowed to be made up until 6mos before the wedding any changes made after 6mos-3mis $200 added to cost. If ANY changes made the month of extra charge of $500, the week of $1000. If they're willing to sign said contract then either they'll not be a pain in the a** or you'll make some extra money because of their incompetence 👏👏🤣🤣
Story 3: As OP said, Karen has no idea how the world works, and her thinking that a good speech included s**tting on the bride is one example. I honestly would've dumped Karen right there and then if I was her BF
@murphysmom9550 well I wish I documented it, but it was basically about how the groom's ex-girlfriend (who he hasn't been with in over a year) crashed the wedding and claimed that she was pregnant with his baby (she wasn't), and saying that as the father, he shouldn't marry OP and come back to her, and when that doesn't work, she blames OP and attacks both her and her groom
@@crypticghost21 Jayses! Causing all that trouble and for what? If her plan had succeeded (which was nigh impossible), did she think that there would be any happiness in their relationship past that point? Time for some therapy.
Every time the video the ends where he says the "we love you" sign off I think back to the pre-Stevie days when Fluff would awkwardly throw a quick "I love you" that sounded so uncomfortable for him-😅 💚
Story 1: About 15 years ago my brother, who lives in California, got married. He is not rich. He is a university professor and works a lot of educational side hustles to survive. I and my wife are not rich at all, and had/ have 3 kids. She was a school teacher and I worked service jobs. We live near Chicagp. Mom and dad weren't rich either. They live in Pennsylvania and were a nurse and a college professor. My brother paid to fly myself, our parents, and his niece out to the wedding in California. We were there for 5 days, were housed and fed, and didn't pay much of anything. Without his generosity zero of his family would have been able to attend their wedding. That is how actual generosity works. It was a beautiful Buddhist/Christian ceremony under the canopy of an ancient tree, with a massive vegan buffet. It meant the world to me! I am glad they are in my life.
@@audreym3908 No. Our three kids were all very young to travel, and my wife couldn't afford to take off work. Mother-in-law watched our kids while wife worked. Wife was a special education teacher. I just worked service jobs, at that point. We were and are relatively poor. It wasn't ideal, but all 5 if use traveling from Chicago to California wasn't going to happen. Two of our kids recently went to San Diego on a service trip, and loved it. As a family we have at least traveled to see the Grand Canyon. I really love Sedona! That was our one big trip and for a lot of it we stayed with family in various states enroute.
2nd story: I thought she must've said, that by mistake when she wants to come to the same place that she got married. Only for me to find out that she was serious. Now I felt bad for her current husband and her other 2 exes who got divorced on the same day cause, she doesn't want to get married in the first place. But wants to feel the thrill of being a bride and wants lots of attention.
Story 2 - When the bride said that she could wait to have her ‘next’ wedding there I was like ‘What the what now?!’ But after hearing the story all the way through… I’m hoping that she’s not a ‘black widow’ 😨
Oooh...hadn't thought of that! 😲Things like that have happened. Even if she didn't kill any of her prior husbands, was there a possibility that she could have had even MORE marriages under a different name or location? Like she was "only" married three times before in the United States, but twice in Canada, four times in Mexico, and a wedding in each EU country (including the UK before they left).
When my little brother got married the first time I wasn't real thrilled about his bride, but it was his choice and I would accept her and be there. I hugged him before the ceremony and said I hoped this is what would make him happy. He told me it would be fine for his first. His fourth is a keeper.
I am not at all surprised about the bride. The groom is a weak, insipid fool to marry this woman knowing her history and I have no sympathy for him at all.
My favorite novels are the Nice Girls Don't by Molly Harper in which the main character's estranged grandmother has buried four husbands and was on her fifth. All the funerals take place at Whitlow and Sons Funeral Home "where Grandma had been mourning since 1957." The bride on her third wedding reminded me of this: Grandma loved the chase, the weddings, and the funerals, but she couldn't stand marriage.
Story 4 reminds me of the entitledpeople story where a stepmom and stepsisters tried to overshadow a bride by wearing their wedding dresses to OP's wedding and OP decides to one-up them by inviting everyone in their party to their wedding in their own wedding dresses so the three entitled women would be too embarrassed and I love that it worked.
I demand you come to my destination wedding story: I hope the groom and his family REQUIRED little sister to sign a pre-nup! Next wedding story: Wow, I'd have loved to have overheard the conversation between bride and groom afterwards! Bridesmaid speech story: If Karen was using a microphone, someone should have shut if off before the end of the first story. Good grief! I hope the bride and groom had Karen photoshopped out of any pictures. Who'd want to remember that nonsense! Wearing a wedding dress story: I'm somewhat surprised no one "accidentally" spilled some red wine on her dress, possibly even before the ceremony. Bridechilla story: Just a different form of bridezilla. And I would be constantly repeating to her/them that EVERY change they make costs money and no, they aren't going to get anything for free!
Story 1: I hope fiancé made her sign a prenup Story 2: if you so enjoy being a bride you could just renew your vows every year. Nick Canon and Mariah Carey did that. That being said, I wonder who’s paying for each wedding. I hope her parents aren’t. Story 3: I’ve gone to weddings where the bride and groom are roasted but there’s a line between roasting and insulting. Story 4: Attention at a wedding is for the bride and groom. Not the sister, though she is not. I had a 7 year old girl at my wedding who attracted herself a lot of attention on my dance floor. But she’s 7. Story 5: I guess I made things really easy for my florist. I told her my wedding colors, budget, what I liked, didn’t like. Showed her the bouquet I like but what color I wanted it. She showed me a few flowers. I said yes or no. Done.
I actually was a bridechilla, but was actually chill. Never made a change after the original orders. Ordered my wedding cake from a grocery store because I loved their buttercream frosting. I think the most freaked out vendor was the hairdresser since I didn’t do trial run. She did a great job. My florist loved my ideas and ran with them with my budget. My wedding was amazing because I trusted my vendors.
My sister hadba sort of destination wedding. She got married in the church we grew up going to. It was basically go back to the bride's childhood community destination.
I want to make a correction to OP's terminology in Story #5. That's not a Bridechilla. That's a Brideditz; absentminded, lazy, indecisive and no self-awareness to be had in their whole bodies!
There are two types of chill customers that I see regularly. Both start out with no clue what they want and say "we trust you." Ugh. About 3/4 sign off the first version (even if we notice and correct an error later.) The other type keep making changes like in the last story. And occasionally there is the person that gets almost to the finish line and ghosts us. 😡
Story 2: Yeah that's messed up alright. But not as messed up as an aunt killing off family members just so she can plan, and host, funerals; a true story from the late 1800s, early 1900s. (I saw it on Mysteries at the Museum).
The destination wedding story reminded me of something. The day I was hired for a new job, I told them I couldn't work that Friday. (Anime Convention!) They were perfectly fine with it, and I worked there for six years!
Wedding Story: Is he blind? There are enough Red Flags exploding all over the place you should be able to see them on Pluto! This poor man needs to tell OP's Sister to go away and leave him alone, the Wedding is off and she's not getting another penny out of him... I'll be amazed is that Marriage lasts more than a year...if that... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 2: Hubby needs to annul this marriage immediately if not sooner. This is NOT going to work out AT ALL. She's mentally a little girl playing the wedding game only in real life and with these poor unfortunate man. He knows this is her 3rd marriage so better to nip it in the bud NOW.
Story 2 you better be finding out she is not a black widow... I would look into where he previous 2 hubbies are... Sorry I watch way too many true crime dramas
For some people, attention, validation, acknowledgement, and drama are as essential as air, water, food, and shelter. They only feel alive when someone, preferably everyone, is looking at them. I'll never be able to understand this, but that's how some people are, so we have to deal with it. It is emotionally exhausting trying to figure out how to respond to it. Do you ignore them, or do you feed into it and give them that attention, validation, acknowledgment, and drama they crave?
Last story; bridezilla or bridechilla sound the same to me. No two people who want what they want and want someone else to pay for it tend to be exactly the same.
Story 1: you know that sister is going to be on her doorstep demanding a place to live after a few years for one reason or another. Saying how well they got along and how much they loved each other.
Currently planning a wedding. I'm trying to convince my fiance to have no speeches. His comprise is speech for the after party and I'm allowed to openly cringe at uncomfortable speeches.
Maybe it's just the fact that I've never been invited to a proper wedding but I'm pretty sure that if I were a bridesmaid of a "Bridechilla" I would tell the bride directly that they're really not being chill. They're being fickle. If they really don't care about so much, why not just tell the bridesmaids and other guests that they need to wear formal attire that won't get them mistaken for being the bride/groom and leave it at that?
Hire security for a wedding, and inform family and friends that if you do the following such as….. 1. Wear White To The Wedding 2. Start Shouting profanity or obscenities to the Bride or Groom. 3. Not providing the information for a speech on for the wedding and refusing to do so. 4. Causing a Public Scene Then security will throw you out, no ifs and buts about it.
On the story about the bride whom likes ONLY getting married for just the wedding stuff, if I was her New victim, I would go and get an anomit and sue her butt for the money.
I've been a minister for almost 30 years, and I've done my share of weddings. Let's just say it's given me a new respect for people who work with weddings full-time. Yikes!
13:15 I can just imagine sitting there during the speech just waiting for the story to end up being a lovely anecdote about the couple or the bride but it NEVER happens. 😳 So incredibly awkward I can actually feel the second hand embarrassment just thinking about it 😳
Haha! Yeah. It actually sort of reminded me of how my speech at my BFF’s wedding started out (after choking on emotions and not able to give my original one without breaking out in tears), only it truly was an anecdote. We met in 5th grade but didn’t like each other and she was trying to steal my bff at the time. But by 6th grade we were friends, and 7th, best friends. I ended my speech with how lucky I was to have her as my BFF, and how I was so happy she met the man of her dreams.
Thankfully all three of my kids are married. I doubt I will be at grandchildren’s weddings. I think I’ll leave some money for SECURITY at their weddings. 🤣
Yeah, the 'Chillas are worst... Not talking about wedding stuff, but as someone who has worked with children and their parents in in tour group to our now defunct local tour park for about 4 years... Awerage or demanding group was easy to work with, group with no goals were damn wild usually, usually both of the kids and the adults starting to demand stuff out of the hat when they did realize that the trip was ending...

I love planning parties, events etc. And have a reoccurring nightmare that she is getting remarried to her current husband, and she gives me 24 hours to plan everything. She's promised she'll give me at least a week's notice if the renew their vows, I could pull something small off in a week.
On the last story, tell them that ANY CHAGES ARE $200.00 plus cost of Any material's.
Last story: "How TF do you tell a client to stop being so relaxed and no I won't throw in things for free?" It's easy, just say: "No, I'm sorry, it's too late to change that now. You should have brought it up earlier."
A few candles? Sure, we might be able to bend the rules a bit. 130 extra candles with complicated setup? Nope, sorry, that's just not gonna happen today. Should have mentioned it earlier if you wanted that. But you said it was OK if some things couldn't be done, right? So it just can't be done, and that should be OK. Anyway, moving on...
Sure, a professional will want to do what they can to make things go well, and you can certainly be nice and throw in a few extras _if you want to,_ but at the end of the day, you're only required to deliver what you contractually promised to deliver, nothing else, and if you tell them "no" there really isn't anything much they can do about it at that point. What are they going to do, go out the day of the wedding and find a new coordinator to do everything for them?
Yeah, the last story is just a person that is afraid of conflict... Like, just say "no", if they are really chill they will understand...
Seems to me "Bridechillas" are simply Bridezillas in sheep's clothing. 🤨
As for the bride looking forward to her next wedding, maybe instead of going through another divorce, she could have a huge reception for her wedding anniversaries. She could arrive in a carriage pulled by white horses, release doves, have her name written in the sky, dress as a princess........well, you get the picture. You know, like little girls pretending to be royalty.
She probably never thought of that idea, or just liked the idea of weddings more than anniversaries. 🤷♀️
My last job the owner told me at my interview they were high strung, after I got hired they would scream at all of us for the place being a hot mess when everything was going smoothly, they would start "helping" us and everything would go to crap. I left because I couldn't take them grabbing dirty dishes and just spraying them off to send food out when they had stacks of clean plates but according to them they were completely out of plates. I now work for a relaxed boss who calls everyone a moron without actually using the word. His wife, who manages the place, will give me a job to do and then he'll tell me I'm wasting his money by doing worthless work. They are so "relaxed" I now have digestion issues.
Dude, that is so not worth it! Get a new job and pay more attention to your health, you only have one life but employers come in the dozens.
You need to report the restaurant that doesn't properly clean their dishes.
@weirdredpanda I did. All that happened was they did an inspection and found everything was fine.
Story4 I think I would have thrown her out of the wedding . Who wears a wedding dress to someone else’s wedding???
As the daughter of a makeup artist/hair stylist and a wedding planner/caterer, who has been to more weddings than I can count, I agree with you on the last story. The same is true of clients in any industry, I think. The worst clients are typically the ones who supposedly don’t care or know what they want. They will have you wasting just as much time as the outwardly-Karen client, without giving you the ability to call them out on blatant hostility and bad behavior.
But isn't that part of the work? I mean, helping the people decide and see alternatives? I am a programmer, and it would be easier if clients knew exactly what they want, but 90% of the time I have to re-do almost everything a couple of times before they get what they really want... Not everyone is going to spend their time going over all the possibilities on their own and came to you with a clear idea
Story 4: Wow, just wow! Gee, Susan, maybe no one, including the literal BRIDE and GROOM, wanted to talk with you because you decided to wearing a WHITE WEDDING DRESS to somebody else's wedding!
Susan: ( *crying like a baby and throwing a tantrum* ) No one's talking to MEEEEEE! Even though I am NOT the bride, people should ALWAYS talk to ME!
There was a reddit wedding story where the bride trick her mother in law and sister in law into wearing white. She was goth. But had agreed to a traditional marriage with a few exceptions with her husband. She wrote only to her mother in law and sister in laws invation no white. But on everyone else invite could wear their old wedding gowns because the bride is wearing black. Its a funny story
Last story I would make a rule that only three changes are able to be made or you'll charge $100 each additional change to the original contract. Changes are allowed to be made up until 6mos before the wedding any changes made after 6mos-3mis $200 added to cost. If ANY changes made the month of extra charge of $500, the week of $1000. If they're willing to sign said contract then either they'll not be a pain in the a** or you'll make some extra money because of their incompetence 👏👏🤣🤣
Story 3: As OP said, Karen has no idea how the world works, and her thinking that a good speech included s**tting on the bride is one example.
I honestly would've dumped Karen right there and then if I was her BF
Karen doesn’t deserve a bf
Whenever I hear you saying the word “bridechilla” the image of a little chinchilla in a tiny wedding vail and flower crown pops into my head 🤣
Charlotte Dobre needs a stick puppet for that.
I literally saw a video of a Karen ruining a wedding yesterday LOL 😅😂
Spill the tea please
@murphysmom9550 well I wish I documented it, but it was basically about how the groom's ex-girlfriend (who he hasn't been with in over a year) crashed the wedding and claimed that she was pregnant with his baby (she wasn't), and saying that as the father, he shouldn't marry OP and come back to her, and when that doesn't work, she blames OP and attacks both her and her groom
@@crypticghost21 Jayses! Causing all that trouble and for what? If her plan had succeeded (which was nigh impossible), did she think that there would be any happiness in their relationship past that point? Time for some therapy.
@meh2510 yeah, and a lot of it after some time behind bars
@@crypticghost21 Good. That Karen sounds like a MENACE to society.
Every time the video the ends where he says the "we love you" sign off I think back to the pre-Stevie days when Fluff would awkwardly throw a quick "I love you" that sounded so uncomfortable for him-😅 💚
Story 1: About 15 years ago my brother, who lives in California, got married. He is not rich. He is a university professor and works a lot of educational side hustles to survive. I and my wife are not rich at all, and had/ have 3 kids. She was a school teacher and I worked service jobs. We live near Chicagp. Mom and dad weren't rich either. They live in Pennsylvania and were a nurse and a college professor. My brother paid to fly myself, our parents, and his niece out to the wedding in California. We were there for 5 days, were housed and fed, and didn't pay much of anything. Without his generosity zero of his family would have been able to attend their wedding. That is how actual generosity works. It was a beautiful Buddhist/Christian ceremony under the canopy of an ancient tree, with a massive vegan buffet. It meant the world to me! I am glad they are in my life.
That's an amazing brother and sil. Did your wife and other kids also go?
@@audreym3908 No. Our three kids were all very young to travel, and my wife couldn't afford to take off work. Mother-in-law watched our kids while wife worked. Wife was a special education teacher. I just worked service jobs, at that point. We were and are relatively poor. It wasn't ideal, but all 5 if use traveling from Chicago to California wasn't going to happen. Two of our kids recently went to San Diego on a service trip, and loved it. As a family we have at least traveled to see the Grand Canyon. I really love Sedona! That was our one big trip and for a lot of it we stayed with family in various states enroute.
2nd story: I thought she must've said, that by mistake when she wants to come to the same place that she got married. Only for me to find out that she was serious. Now I felt bad for her current husband and her other 2 exes who got divorced on the same day cause, she doesn't want to get married in the first place. But wants to feel the thrill of being a bride and wants lots of attention.
I thought that was Charlotte Dobre on thumbnail haha
Story 2 was wild
Story 2 - When the bride said that she could wait to have her ‘next’ wedding there I was like ‘What the what now?!’ But after hearing the story all the way through… I’m hoping that she’s not a ‘black widow’ 😨
Oooh...hadn't thought of that! 😲Things like that have happened. Even if she didn't kill any of her prior husbands, was there a possibility that she could have had even MORE marriages under a different name or location? Like she was "only" married three times before in the United States, but twice in Canada, four times in Mexico, and a wedding in each EU country (including the UK before they left).
Where is the glass of wine on the guest wearing a white dress. 🍷🍷🍷
when I heard bridechilla’s for some reason my brain conjured up an image of a chinchilla in a wedding dress.
YOU TOO? Damn, I thought I was the only one lol
Story 3 - Karen wanted to ruin the brides wedding and she accomplished that. I feel for the bride and her husband.
When my little brother got married the first time I wasn't real thrilled about his bride, but it was his choice and I would accept her and be there. I hugged him before the ceremony and said I hoped this is what would make him happy. He told me it would be fine for his first. His fourth is a keeper.
I am not at all surprised about the bride. The groom is a weak, insipid fool to marry this woman knowing her history and I have no sympathy for him at all.
My favorite novels are the Nice Girls Don't by Molly Harper in which the main character's estranged grandmother has buried four husbands and was on her fifth. All the funerals take place at Whitlow and Sons Funeral Home "where Grandma had been mourning since 1957."
The bride on her third wedding reminded me of this: Grandma loved the chase, the weddings, and the funerals, but she couldn't stand marriage.
Story 4 reminds me of the entitledpeople story where a stepmom and stepsisters tried to overshadow a bride by wearing their wedding dresses to OP's wedding and OP decides to one-up them by inviting everyone in their party to their wedding in their own wedding dresses so the three entitled women would be too embarrassed and I love that it worked.
I demand you come to my destination wedding story: I hope the groom and his family REQUIRED little sister to sign a pre-nup!
Next wedding story: Wow, I'd have loved to have overheard the conversation between bride and groom afterwards!
Bridesmaid speech story: If Karen was using a microphone, someone should have shut if off before the end of the first story. Good grief! I hope the bride and groom had Karen photoshopped out of any pictures. Who'd want to remember that nonsense!
Wearing a wedding dress story: I'm somewhat surprised no one "accidentally" spilled some red wine on her dress, possibly even before the ceremony.
Bridechilla story: Just a different form of bridezilla. And I would be constantly repeating to her/them that EVERY change they make costs money and no, they aren't going to get anything for free!
Story 1: I hope fiancé made her sign a prenup
Story 2: if you so enjoy being a bride you could just renew your vows every year. Nick Canon and Mariah Carey did that. That being said, I wonder who’s paying for each wedding. I hope her parents aren’t.
Story 3: I’ve gone to weddings where the bride and groom are roasted but there’s a line between roasting and insulting.
Story 4: Attention at a wedding is for the bride and groom. Not the sister, though she is not. I had a 7 year old girl at my wedding who attracted herself a lot of attention on my dance floor. But she’s 7.
Story 5: I guess I made things really easy for my florist. I told her my wedding colors, budget, what I liked, didn’t like. Showed her the bouquet I like but what color I wanted it. She showed me a few flowers. I said yes or no. Done.
Story 1: I'm guessing not since he doesn't have a backbone to end her entitlement.
You sounded like an easy going bride that knows what you wanted and didn't want with little to no changes. A perfect dream bride to work with!
The people that wear white to another person’s wedding is only embarrassing themselves.
I love how toxic people think that we will suffer when they cut us out of their lives! That is so hilarious.
All the men who married the woman who couldn't wait for 'the next one' should warn every man and woman in town about her. *THAT'S HORRIBLE!*
For Story 2, that "bride" is a wedding addict...! Too crazy for "Ripley's"...!
I actually was a bridechilla, but was actually chill. Never made a change after the original orders. Ordered my wedding cake from a grocery store because I loved their buttercream frosting. I think the most freaked out vendor was the hairdresser since I didn’t do trial run. She did a great job. My florist loved my ideas and ran with them with my budget. My wedding was amazing because I trusted my vendors.
3rd story: Sounds like a female Emperor Kuzco.
My sister hadba sort of destination wedding. She got married in the church we grew up going to. It was basically go back to the bride's childhood community destination.
I want to make a correction to OP's terminology in Story #5. That's not a Bridechilla. That's a Brideditz; absentminded, lazy, indecisive and no self-awareness to be had in their whole bodies!
There are two types of chill customers that I see regularly. Both start out with no clue what they want and say "we trust you." Ugh.
About 3/4 sign off the first version (even if we notice and correct an error later.) The other type keep making changes like in the last story. And occasionally there is the person that gets almost to the finish line and ghosts us. 😡
Story 2: Yeah that's messed up alright. But not as messed up as an aunt killing off family members just so she can plan, and host, funerals; a true story from the late 1800s, early 1900s. (I saw it on Mysteries at the Museum).
Story 1: That groom is spineless and brainless.
The destination wedding story reminded me of something. The day I was hired for a new job, I told them I couldn't work that Friday. (Anime Convention!) They were perfectly fine with it, and I worked there for six years!
Entitled people baffle baffle baffle me
Where is their humanity?
Thanks for the upload dears
Story 4: This isn’t about you Susan. Don't hijack attention from the bride and groom.
Wedding Story: Is he blind?
There are enough Red Flags exploding all over the place you should be able to see them on Pluto!
This poor man needs to tell OP's Sister to go away and leave him alone, the Wedding is off and she's not getting another penny out of him...
I'll be amazed is that Marriage lasts more than a year...if that...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Provided Charon isn't blocking the view.
Story 2: Hubby needs to annul this marriage immediately if not sooner. This is NOT going to work out AT ALL. She's mentally a little girl playing the wedding game only in real life and with these poor unfortunate man. He knows this is her 3rd marriage so better to nip it in the bud NOW.
Hold a no-contact celebration party.
800 to 1000 weddings and you're a manager? You should be your own boss by now.
I LOVE that term "bridechilla" and that someone discussed it at length
Story 2 you better be finding out she is not a black widow... I would look into where he previous 2 hubbies are... Sorry I watch way too many true crime dramas
Could imagine it narrated by Morgan freeman
I think in general I would never stay long at expensive wedding and make an point to leave fast for the sake to avoid drama and embarrassment .
For some people, attention, validation, acknowledgement, and drama are as essential as air, water, food, and shelter.
They only feel alive when someone, preferably everyone, is looking at them.
I'll never be able to understand this, but that's how some people are, so we have to deal with it.
It is emotionally exhausting trying to figure out how to respond to it. Do you ignore them, or do you feed into it and give them that attention, validation, acknowledgment, and drama they crave?
With the bridesmaid wedding speech one, whatever happened to the bridesmaid needing to be BFFs with the bride because of needing honesty in her life?
3rd story. The husband was probably so glad the entitled bridesmaid ended the friendship!
Hahah, that couple wasn't chill, they were unprepared!
Last story; bridezilla or bridechilla sound the same to me. No two people who want what they want and want someone else to pay for it tend to be exactly the same.
Story 1: you know that sister is going to be on her doorstep demanding a place to live after a few years for one reason or another. Saying how well they got along and how much they loved each other.
Currently planning a wedding. I'm trying to convince my fiance to have no speeches. His comprise is speech for the after party and I'm allowed to openly cringe at uncomfortable speeches.
The second one should be a nice side business. "Hey, Like to have a wedding but don't want to be married? We throw fake weddings for you!"
Maybe it's just the fact that I've never been invited to a proper wedding but I'm pretty sure that if I were a bridesmaid of a "Bridechilla" I would tell the bride directly that they're really not being chill. They're being fickle. If they really don't care about so much, why not just tell the bridesmaids and other guests that they need to wear formal attire that won't get them mistaken for being the bride/groom and leave it at that?
Hire security for a wedding, and inform family and friends that if you do the following such as…..
1. Wear White To The Wedding
2. Start Shouting profanity or obscenities to the Bride or Groom.
3. Not providing the information for a speech on for the wedding and refusing to do so.
4. Causing a Public Scene
Then security will throw you out, no ifs and buts about it.
On the story about the bride whom likes ONLY getting married for just the wedding stuff, if I was her New victim, I would go and get an anomit and sue her butt for the money.
Susan wearing her wedding dress at someone else's wedding would have gotten red wine "accidentally" spilled on her before the reception.
Man, bridechilla is calling me out on a level I didn't think possible. Thank God I'm not married😅
Destination wedding are not cheap I don’t blame op for not going.
Some one should have accidentally spilled red wine on the dress
Last story, is a bridechilla like a chinchilla? LIKE, do they take dust baths and hop around?😂😂😂
I've been a minister for almost 30 years, and I've done my share of weddings. Let's just say it's given me a new respect for people who work with weddings full-time. Yikes!
The type of person described in that last story really puts the 'ass' in 'passive-aggressive'
Story 2: why doesn’t the girl just have ceremonies of vow renewals -_-
She can't wait her next one ... 🤣
The groom should have been wary about a woman on her 3rd marriage. Shot happens sometimes, but usually she's divorced twice for a reason.
13:15
I can just imagine sitting there during the speech just waiting for the story to end up being a lovely anecdote about the couple or the bride but it NEVER happens. 😳
So incredibly awkward I can actually feel the second hand embarrassment just thinking about it 😳
Haha! Yeah. It actually sort of reminded me of how my speech at my BFF’s wedding started out (after choking on emotions and not able to give my original one without breaking out in tears), only it truly was an anecdote. We met in 5th grade but didn’t like each other and she was trying to steal my bff at the time. But by 6th grade we were friends, and 7th, best friends. I ended my speech with how lucky I was to have her as my BFF, and how I was so happy she met the man of her dreams.
Thankfully all three of my kids are married. I doubt I will be at grandchildren’s weddings. I think I’ll leave some money for SECURITY at their weddings. 🤣
Hello my fellow Dark Fluffies and my Stevo 😂
Yeah, the 'Chillas are worst... Not talking about wedding stuff, but as someone who has worked with children and their parents in in tour group to our now defunct local tour park for about 4 years...
Awerage or demanding group was easy to work with, group with no goals were damn wild usually, usually both of the kids and the adults starting to demand stuff out of the hat when they did realize that the trip was ending...
They should hold a “just divorced ceremony!” Invite all the original guests………..😮
That friendship lasted 2 days too long. Too bad they couldn't end it before the wedding.
Story 3: I totally expected Karen to announce she was pregnant or was proposing to her own boyfriend during her speech.
