Bride Is Called Out Online Due To Her List of ‘Wedding Rules’

Aug 02, 2021 by apost team

Weddings are never easy, but they are especially difficult when the bride becomes extremely uncompromising. The term “Bridezilla” was created to refer to brides whose attitudes are extreme and intolerably demanding. There has even been a reality show made called “Bridezillas” that is all about obsessive brides behaving badly.

The internet is filled with stories of bridezillas who have demanded ridiculous things from their friends and family members, and it is fodder for the internet to debate over. While some stories do lead to a debate about certain issues, such as how many presents are enough for a bride, other stories bring all internet users together for a unanimous judgment. 

One story is making rounds on social media and it has people wondering about whether the bride went too far in having very specific demands, some of which included "no nitpicking" and "no rushing anyone." This story was a divisive one among social media users; while some brides could see the importance of having a very specific list of demands to have a smooth wedding day, others thought that the bride was asking too much from people. 

Though weddings are a beautiful part of anyone's life, wedding planning and going through the wedding day can be one of the most stressful parts of life. Sometimes, wedding planning can be so taxing that it sometimes even causes couples to split! With so much at stake when a couple gets engaged, it is somewhat understandable that a bride reacts to many things out of stress. However, how far is too far? 

Daily Mail reported that the list of demands was first published on Facebook, after which it became quite viral and divided people's opinions. The bride-to-be had a list of 11 rules: "don't wear white," "don't show up late," "no cellphones," "pace yourself while drinking," "no getting in the photographer's way," "no trying to smuggle in your own drinks," "no changing decorations," "no nit-picking," "no rushing anyone," "no proposals or announcements," and finally, "no posting on social media before the bride and groom." 

Her post had mixed reactions from people, with one person commenting on the post, "Surely there is a more polite way of doing this? This is rude. They are guests, not inmates. Surely people know? It's common sense... If you need to give your guests rules then I think you're inviting the wrong kind of people." 

The bride responded, "How is it rude? My fiancé's mother needs rules because she is that type of controlling and narcissistic person." Daily Mail reported that it seemed like the bride's main problem was with her mother-in-law, and some suggested that she have a "private conversation" with her MIL instead of giving everybody such strict rules. 

However, the bride reiterated that her MIL was not someone who is understanding and that she did not care what everyone else thought of her rules because it was, after all, HER wedding day. One person left some sound advice for the bride, though, as they wrote to the bride, "The issue isn't the rules, it's the way your way of displaying them."
