Woman Exposes Bridezilla Cousin For Demanding Her To Lose Weight Or She Couldn't Be The Maid Of Honor

Weddings are truly a special day for the bride, given that many women have dreamed of having the perfect one ever since they were kids—from the very dress they want to the flowers decorating the aisle. It's also an important milestone for all the family members, especially those who are big on traditions.

It's understandable that some women eventually morph into "bridezilla" mode, given that planning and ensuring everything is perfect is undeniably stressful. For someone who has waited a long time to have this planned and get going, it is truly important for everything to be as perfect as possible.

However, there are certain instances when brides with cranky attitudes aren't necessarily in the right, even if they only want their dream wedding to be seamlessly perfect (which is completely impossible, to be honest, but hey, at least most of them manage to do it). Yes, it's understandable that they want to be in control—but what if they want to change something that others in the family can't easily accommodate?

That's definitely the case when a particular bride shamefully told her cousin that she couldn't be her maid of honor unless she lost some weight. Read on to find out the whole story below!

A certain bride's cousin, named Ife Nkli on Twitter, exposed her online for saying that she needed to lose some weight or else she wouldn't get to be the maid of honor for the wedding. OP has since decided not to attend the wedding anymore.

It's as if the 'bridezilla' just gave her an impossible deadline for losing weight just so she could be an important part of the wedding day.

The family wasn't happy with what happened, but she feels that her behavior is justified. The bride also thinks that OP feels she doesn't look good enough and would only ruin the photos with her appearance.

Ife actually doesn't loathe her body, and she is strong-willed enough not to let these comments pull her down. However, she does stress over her food intake.

Like any other woman would, Ife was taken aback by her cousin's absurd request, so she decided not to attend the wedding at all.

People have jumped in and expressed their sentiments, saying that what the bride was asking for is already crossing the line.

Disrespect earns disrespect.

Even if they just wanted their day to be perfect, it's never an excuse to treat your family that way.

Most people agreed with Ife's decision not to attend the wedding, seeing that her bridezilla cousin doesn't seem to appreciate her for who she is, regardless of size.

It's never right to point out somebody else's weight, either way.

However, some people seem to have extracted the notion that Ife may feel entitled to be *the* maid of honor, completely missing the point. Here's someone calling them out:

Exactly!

It's definitely heartbreaking that it was her own cousin who said that to her.

As if it's that easy!

Maybe she's just insecure?

And it is always heartbreaking.

More and more people are encouraging her to just be her best self, no matter what.

When the cranky attitude subsides after the wedding, she'll surely regret it!

Wanting her day to be perfect isn't an excuse.

It's painful to know that even your closest family can't give you the unconditional love you deserve.

Yep, you definitely don't exist just to please others.

Which makes it a better option to just not go.

The takeaway:

Betrayal comes in many forms, and it deeply hurts once you realize that it may actually come from a place where you thought you were welcomed for who and what you are. Brides-to-be may get leeway for being cranky about the most trivial things, but it's never right when they are already nitpicking on everything, including a family member's appearance, just because they want everything to be perfect.
