    Bridezilla ruins her own wedding. Demands bridal party pay her cancelled wedding. Starting the year strong, I swear. So, my friend Dana (F29) was supposed to be getting married this past Sunday 1/14. The wedding got cancelled and things had gotten very crazy.
  • 03
    Dana was getting married to Josh (M32). She's still in college with me and asked a few friends from college, myself included, to be her bridal party. Now, from the start, this wedding has been a disaster. I'm going to just point out a few of the crazy stuff we dealt with: 1. She refused to invite my best friend, who she's supposedly good friends with, because she thinks we're lesbian lovers. We're not. 2. She had us go to the dress fitting and then demanded each of us pay $2000 each for our dres

    3. Apparently Josh couldn't invite any single females that were not blcd relatives of him. So if he had any female friends, they were axed. 4. One of the girls in the bridal party doesn't drink because of her religion. Dana accused her of being pregnant in front of her parents and almost got her kicked out of her house. She was not pregnant and she dropped from the bridal party. She was a class act, though, and never bad talked Dana. Just said she couldn't make it. We found out about it pretty m

    5. She tried to make us cancel our holidays with our families to instead go with her to a destination bachelorette party. I work full time even during holidays, so I told her that was not happening. More of the bridesmaids said similar things and she dropped it.

    That's just 5 things of countless drama this wedding was having before the day. Now the meat of the story comes on the wedding day. The day started horrible. Dana was having a meltdown because apparently the flower girl had to cancel because she has - chickenpox-. She was threatening to sue the mother unless she brought this sick three years old to the wedding. Josh apparently was able to calm her down from this starter outburst and we began preparations.

    The whole day she had constant outbursts. She made people cry. Like, wedding staff and bridesmaids. The MoH deserves a medal for the amount of diplomacy and bul' it control she had to do. I for the most part took the easy route and decided to work outside the bridal suit like checking flowers, making sure food was okay. Basically any excuse NOT to be around bride. Eventually I had my make up and hair done, then the bride asked for a little bit of time alone to 'decompress' from the stress. We di

    Wedding was starting in thirty minutes, so we figure she would be fine alone for that little. I spent those thirty minutes just sitting in the chapel with my phone. It had to be about five minutes before the start of the wedding when MoH came over to tell me the wedding was cancelled. I asked her what happened. MOH: "Dana was having a 'quickie' with Josh's uncle in the room. Josh caught them."

    I just stared at the MoH with my mouth pretty much about to reach the floor. She told me to run and that she was trying to get as many people out before things exploded. So I quickly got my purse, gathered the two bridesmaid that were carpooling with me, and we left like the de il was after us. I checked with the other bridesmaid and all had escaped. That night I called the MoH to check what happened and the tea was bad. Apparently and rightfully, Josh called off the wedding, called her a few na

    I thought that was the end of it. I made the choice to separate myself from this mess. Until I got a call from Dana, not even hour ago, demanding $5,000 to help pay her cancellation fees. According to Dana, it was our duty as the bridal party to pay her cancellation fees. I obviously told her no and that she might as well lose my number. I am never speaking to this woman again. This has been pretty much the reaction of all bridesmaids and the MoH. By the way, MoH? Josh's older sister.

    AnonGull 4 hr. ago Hold up, back up......GURRLLLL This is a whole high-tea serving right here. I have heard sx is good to unstress, but this is a whole other level. Also props for Josh's sister, woman is worth her weight in gold. Reply Share 199 Irhun OP 4 hr. ago I mean the sad part? She had her make up and hair done and we left dressed and ready. So yeah, she was wearing her wedding dress for this. 116 Reply Share

    JenSY542 4 hr. ago Well, that was a ride... You do right in telling her to leave you alone. Actions have consequences. 86 Reply Share Irhun OP 4 hr. ago Oh it's been the longest three months of my life, ngl. To be frank, even if the wedding went through, I was planning to cut contact. She was a nightmare. Reply Share 83

    JenSY542 50 min. ago It seems unfair but I expect once her parents have calmed down, they'll likely help her pay the fees maybe? Not that she deserves the help, I've just seen that happen once the storm is calmer. 3 Reply Share Irhun OP 38 min. ago Her mom, maybe. Her dad won't. I've known them for years. Dad is very much old school and I've never seen him cave. 5 Reply Share

    JBB2002902. 4 hr. ago Hoo boy, way to start the year with a bang! If you'll pardon the pun... What an absolute show, poor Josh. His sister deserves a medal for getting you all out though! Highly recommend inviting her and the other bridesmaids for drinks in a few weeks - if you happen to find out any more fallout from the disaster then that's just a bonus! *ETA - or dinner so the non-drinking should've been bridesmaid doesn't feel left out. 466 Reply Share

    Irhun OP 3 hr. ago That's exactly what I said! Once I was far enough to not risk a banshee shriek. I have no idea what was going through her mind. And I know her hair and make up was PRICEY. 24 Reply Share 3 ... Blueplate1958 · 2 hr. ago Some people get off on the idea. That and doing it in the parking lot after the ceremony. Reply Share

    real_live_mermaid - 2 hr. ago Can we also talk about the trash heap of an uncle? Who would do that to their own nephew on his wedding day? Did he just say "Hmm I'm gonna see if the bride is up for a quickie with me, a man probably twice her age." Or were they having a relationship beforehand? I feel bad for the parents too, either he was one of their brothers or married to one of their sisters. Jeesh! Reply Share 8

    Snoopy_Belle. 1 hr. ago What a circus! I feel terrible for Dana's father. The embarrassment in front of all the guests when this should have been a special day for him to walk his daughter down the aisle. And unfortunately for him, people do talk and gossip.
  • 21
    I can also imagine that he would be so ashamed and angry of his daughter's behavior. Glad that he subscribes to the "you made your bed, you lie in it" philosophy. I would be disowned by my family (immediate and extended) if I pulled this shot. ↑ 4 Reply Share
