    Bridezilla ruined our friendship of 20+ years (long post) Right so! Best friend of many many years got engaged, immediately asked me to be bridesmaid. Was thrilled for about 0.2 seconds until she said "ha! Now I get to make you dress girly!"

    Her list of requirement included: dress. Heels. I had to grow my hair to at least bob length. I had to dye my hair. I had to get a tan (fake or sunbed) and I definitely had to use body make up to cover all my tattoos. Now readers, this was a gut wrencher. Anyone who knows me knows I am an absolute tomboy who feels deeply uncomfortable wearing dresses etc. But hey it's the brides big day right? I offered

    to do all except grow my hair. Not. Good. Enough. Apparently I would RUIN HER PHOTOS with my short hair. Arguments started....texts and group chats aplenty telling me I was being stubborn and it's for one day and I should it up. Back and forth for a while but around that time, my dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness. We mutually agreed my dad was

    my priority and I stepped down from bridesmaid to guest. She asked me what me and my girlfriend would be wearing, I replied that we had tailor made suits from a wedding last year and they would be PERFECT! She told me she didn't want everyone staring at the two lesbians in suits and that everyone would be talking about us and taking attention away from her.

    People, i was gobsmacked. Gf refused to even go. I told bride unless she was telling all the guests what to wear she could right off. I went to the wedding (didn't want to be the show up tbh). It went who didn't swimmingly. An absolutely grand affair with no expense spared. I left after the first dance to get home to my kid (had been there for 8 hours at this point!) and was

    [deleted] Ridiculous Bridezilla. Asking you to change who you are for her big day. And when did it become a requirement that your gift pay for the cost of hosting you? This drives me crazy! If you want a ridiculously expensive blow-out wedding party, that's on you, not your guests. What's next? Selling tickets to weddings?

    Medievalmoomin I'm very sorry about your Dad. And I'm very sorry about your friend. Your friend was way, way out of line, and I'm sorry she chose a cheap power trip over you.

    I hope you wore your tailored suit to the wedding. That sounds cool, and very classy.

    cabbageheadlady I don't put up with bridezillas. My hubby and I did our wedding at my parent's house. Cake and coffee, 10 minute service. Been married 40 years. The more money spent on the wedding, the shorter the marriage!
