Bridesmaids Share Horror Stories About The Worst Brides They Had To Deal With
"Like, girl, no, goodbye. Our friendship is over. If she can’t have any compassion for what I’m going through, I can’t be friends. Talk about toxicity."
Weddings can easily become chaotic. That’s why you usually need professionals to handle them, so the stress doesn’t turn you into a monster and cause others to suffer your wrath.
It involves a lot of planning and traditions that are often pushed by brides and grooms who sometimes lack the resources to pull it off. So what do they do?
They appoint bridesmaids whom they believe will bend over backward for them, only to treat them poorly afterward. This not only humiliates the bridesmaids but also breaks friendships and can emotionally scar them enough to deter them from attending other weddings.
Many stories circulate online about the horror these bridesmaids endured while dealing with 'bridezillas' and 'groomzillas.' One of them was even a bridesmaid to a 'chillzilla' who was indecisive to a fault, unprepared for her own wedding, and not even ready herself.
There’s a common theme in their stories where brides think the lives of others should stop just for them. No job, family, or personal life seems more important than their wedding, which is why they end up burning bridges with the people who shared their stories.

Every once in a while, brides forget that the world doesn't revolve around them. The work they expect from their bridesmaids and MOH is not easy and requires them to take time out of their lives.
It's a lot of pressure, and instead of being appreciated, they are often blamed for things that are out of their control. It's time to show some love for the great bridesmaids and MOH who make things smoother.
