What would it take for you to abandon a friend's wedding? 

Weddings take months of careful planning and organization. It's not usually just the brides or grooms planning the event: often their friends will pitch in with expenses or planning group events. It takes some of the pressure off of the engaged couple, and it can be a fun time for everyone involved. Well, in theory it's a fun time. As u/plogan56 can tell you, not every bridesmaid or groomsman event turns out as planned. 

There's an immense amount of pressure on women to not only get married, but to create a literally perfect day that they'll remember forever. So it makes sense that some people crack under this pressure. They forget that everyone else has their own life problems going on: they're not just available to cater to the bride or groom's every whim. This bride took things way too far, and she only found out when it was too late to turn things around. 

Up next, have a laugh at some of the ways fast food workers got back at their most irritating customers, like one burger chain employee who'd put all the burger toppings on one side on the sandwich.

    Comply with Bridezilla or leave, ok? My friend (Jemma) tells me about how she and an entire group of Bridesmaids left a wedding after their friend dared them to.

    So this all happened a few weeks ago, a long time friend of jemma's group was getting married in another state but the day of the wedding she suddenly had a problem with one girl who wore glasses, which she didn't have an issue with beforehand; the glasses girl told her she wouldn't wear them during the vows and pictures but the bridezilla didn't want her wearing them at all and was screaming at her to not put them on for the

    rest of the day, obviously she couldn't do that since she needs to see. The argument got more heated until bridezilla gave her the ultimatum to take them off & keep em off or leave. This is when jemma and the other bridesmaids stepped in, told bridezilla she was out of line, and that they would all leave if she forced the girl with glasses to leave; Bridezilla called their bluff and, being maids of honor, the

    bridesmaids left the wedding and decided to celebrate and eat at a restaurant before they head back home. Bridezilla called them several times after they left, telling them that she didn't care about the glasses anymore and begged them to come back to the venue, but they not only refused but also chose to end the friendship, with her, all together. Jemma said that the wedding proceeded as follows, just minus the bridesmaids and a few

    awkward stares because everyone heard the bridezilla's screaming from earlier. Jemma told me that the bridezilla has always been like this, throwing a tantrum when she doesn't get her way, and that the meltdown at the wedding was just the last straw for them. Personally, i think she's got a monk's patience if she put up with her for that long.

    LittleTrouble90 My sister had a massive meltdown less than a week before her wedding. She had also been an absolute monster the year prior to it, abusing people of their choices of clothing, hair, and even randomly becoming racist to a couple members of our family. It was a wild situation. So that day she lost her I called it, told her my husband and I

    weren't going, our brother and other sister also did the same thing. The only people. who showed up were our parents and her now husband's parents. The bridesmaids, groomsmen, and all guests didn't show up. But, in shock to everyone involved, she actually figured her self out. She's always been and bossy, so about a month after her wedding she

    contacted everyone that would have gone and profusely apologized. At first I didn't give it a thought, she's apologized before in the past but didn't change. Ironically this time it actually set her straight. Sometimes people need to be severely humbled and they realize they actually are the problem. We're very close now and she's fun at family gatherings. We had a great reception type party for her

    and everything is much better. I can't imagine being like that to the people who are at my wedding.

    GnPQGuTFagzn... It seems that weddings for some women are not celebrations of the start of a life with someone they love, but a venue to just act ugly and often get away with it. It is nice to hear when that backfires.

    Cfwydirk Sometimes it takes a ridiculous event for people to see the writing on the wall. From the story I can only imagine the brides track record where ALL the bridesmaids has a belly full of her

    digitydigitydoo As a glasses wearer with really, really bad eye sight, I guarantee forcing me to go. glassesless would end in some sort of absolutely horrifying event. Either tripping up the aisle or walking into a grandma or smashing into the wedding cake, I would 100% do something ridiculously clumsy. Not a threat, I'm like a -9 in both eyes.
