Bridezilla Goes Viral For Her List Of 37 Absurd Wedding Rules
The bride started off with ten bridesmaids and ended up with only six.
A wedding can bring out the best in people, but sometimes it does the exact opposite. One bride went viral after posting a list of 37 rules for her bridesmaids, and the demands were so specific that the whole thing quickly turned into a spectacle. What started with ten bridesmaids soon dropped to six, as the bride's strict expectations pushed people away one by one.
From bizarre appearance rules to a contract-style signoff, this wedding prep got out of hand fast. Read on.
One bride took her 'bridezilla' title to the extreme.

"I will not gain more than 3 kg between now and the wedding."

I mean, okay, but what does she have against blondes?
Facebook
Oh, so I'm allowed to miss it if I'm dead? How sweet!
Facebook
To be fair, I think numbers 8 and 9 are pretty standard.
Facebook
"I will not intentionally fall pregnant before the wedding."
Facebook
Seven units exactly?
Facebook
No kids allowed!
Facebook
Sure, I'll just leave my kids with the dog. No biggie.
Facebook
"I will not grow sensitive and angry with the bride because I understand that she has a bossy attitude."
Facebook
Look, I'll wear the hairstyle, but I'm not paying for the dress!
Facebook
And if you thought the list was controlling, a bride debates telling her friend she can’t bring her self-invited date.
Oh good, more things I have to pay for.
Facebook
No suggestions, please!
Facebook
"If I do not like anything listed, I will not sign the contract, and I will be replaced."
Facebook
It sounds to me like "everyone will be treated equally" badly!
Facebook
Okay, what's wrong with colored contact lenses?
Facebook
Well, alright, but I thought the bride was in charge of choosing the makeup anyway?
Facebook
$50 a month for the next 14 months? So now I'm paying $700 on top of every other thing you expect me to pay for?

What's your opinion on this bridezilla and her list? Do you think she's being utterly ridiculous with her demands, or is she entitled to be a brat because she's the bride?
Either way, a little bit of kindness goes a long way. There is always a considerate way to ask for things that don't include throwing demands at people.
Have you ever had to deal with an out-of-control bridezilla? We would love to hear your stories in the comment section.
Still dealing with pushy wedding demands from in-laws and their guest list, read whether declining their wedding money makes you the jerk.
