Bride Makes Outlandish Clothing Request of Guests Based on Their Weight

The term 'bridezilla' has been thrown around far too much these days, even spawning various TV shows based on this stereotype. The term commonly refers to a bride who has become so stressed or overwhelmed with the preparation of her wedding that she becomes oblivious to the wishes, desires, and, in some cases, feelings of her significant other and/or the guests of the wedding.

While this is understandable considering the stress of planning such an event, some brides' decisions are completely questionable and well worth the criticism they receive. This bride’s wish to have her guests dressed according to weight is one of those decisions.

An unnamed bride decided 18 months prior to her Hawaiian wedding to send out an update to the guests. This update specified a dress code that the bride thought would create a nice look when the guests were dancing at her wedding. However, this plan did not go over well with her guests.

This was partly because the clothing choices were unusual and also because they were very costly, as the bride was asking each guest to spend $1,000 on their attire. To make matters worse, the color scheme of the clothing in question had been determined by the weight of the guest.

A prime example of these fashion wishes not being the best idea is that of the women between 100 and 160 pounds. These women were instructed to wear green velvet sweaters, orange suede pants, and red Louboutin heels, topped off with a Burberry scarf. From that description of the attire, you can probably guess whether the guests' reactions were positive or negative. Needless to say, it really didn't go over well.

Men under 200 pounds didn't fare any better than the women, as they were told to wear purple fluffy jackets with a soda hat (if anyone could explain what that is, that would be great), white sneakers, and to top off this interesting attire with "plain" glow sticks. Do they even come in a specific color?

So far, our fashion-forward bride has her female guests looking like Oompa Loompas from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and the men resembling Grimace if he shopped at a store for edgy teens going to a rave. If these clothing choices confuse you, what I'm about to inform you of won't make this bride's vision any clearer. Women over 160 pounds were asked to wear black from head to toe (black sweater, black pants, and black heels).

Men over 200 pounds, on the other hand, were told to wear camouflage and black sneakers. Additionally, children would be required to wear red from head to toe. Not only that, but the bride specified that she would not tolerate variations of red and that she wanted "true" red simply because she wished them to form the shape of a heart. After the dancing was finished, the bride asked that everyone change into formal attire. I'm not sure if I'm just stylistically blind, but I don't see what the bride is hoping for.

Here is a visual rendering of how that would all look.

Not long after these demands were made, screenshots surfaced online. Many comments stated that you would have to be pretty tacky to come up with such a clothing arrangement, let alone wear said arrangement. When the soon-to-be bride heard that her "requests" had leaked to the internet and that they were (and by extension, she was) not being perceived in a positive light, she decided it was best to double down on her decisions.

Her plan to get back at the guests mocking her decisions was to buy a $99 polygraph test machine off Amazon. Ignoring the fact that it is well documented that the concept of a lie detector test is flawed at best and is pure theater, even if that weren't true, you would not be able to buy one for the same price as a low-end mobile phone.

She believed this was a solid purchase and announced that she would be throwing a party (which she named the "Polygraph Party") to catch the "rat" who leaked her dress code. As part of this party, she would provide drinks and snacks.

She assumed anyone who would not be willing to show up to such an event had something to hide and was involved in the leak of her dress code and her subsequent embarrassment (once again, ignoring that the most advanced polygraph tests have been known to not work... and that she bought hers for $99 on Amazon). Additionally, if she believed her requests were reasonable, she would have no reason to be embarrassed.

The bride-to-be then goes on a long-winded rant where she threatens to cut ties with the person who leaked the info, bribes the remaining guests to inform on the individual who posted the info, reduces any guest who does not wish to participate in the dance to merely voluntary cleaning staff, and then proceeds to fire back at internet trolls before finally giving an explanation for her clothing choices. This explanation still overlooks the financial impact on the guests, though.

The invitees' response

One of the intended guests' responses nicely summarizes the absurdity of the requests and remarks made, as well as providing the greatest closing statement to a text that someone in this person's life could possibly give after being put through the ordeal that is the planning of this wedding.

Additionally, the internet's response is absolute gold.
