Every bride and groom wants a perfect wedding. It ideally only happens once in a lifetime, and wanting the event to turn out exactly how they envisioned it is understandable.
However, some would step on other people’s toes just to let things fall into place, which is unacceptable. Thankfully, we have the internet to expose such entitled behavior.
Scroll through to find screenshots showing ridiculous requirements, self-serving actions that put other guests in potential danger, and monetary gift requests to fund a honeymoon. Hopefully, you have never experienced any of these.
#1 Just When You Think The Bridezilla Requests Can’t Get Any More Ridiculous
I'm a maid of honor in my friends wedding. She goes by her middle name which is Rachel… My first name is Rachel. I am honestly unsure how to answer. Like ma'am I'm not changing my name for your wedding.

#3 Not Invited To The Wedding, But Still Pay For It

Setting unrealistic expectations could be a sign of pre-wedding stress. It’s likely a result of the hyperfocus on making things “perfect” and running according to plan. According to psychologist Dr. Paulette Kouffman Sherman, managing expectations could relieve stress.
In an interview with Brides, Dr. Sherman suggests aiming for excellence rather than perfection to help manage expectations.

You may read screenshots of people posting their Venmo accounts as a request for a cash gift. A 2023 registry study by The Knot revealed that 74% of wedding registry creators prefer to receive money from guests instead of traditional utensils and other home starters.
Some couples use the cash to fund their honeymoons or shoulder expenses for their first homes.

According to events director Bryce Carson, this trend has occurred over the past decade. But as he told Fortune in an interview, it isn’t always a cash grab.
“Couples are getting married a little bit older in life. They’re already combining their homes,” he explained. “They do not need two sets of everything.”

For many people, living in the internet age means wanting to look good for the ‘gram. Because of this, Carson says people are now heavily focused on turning their weddings into fashion events.
As he points out, some guests may feel hassled by outfit requirements, adding to the already hefty cost of attending a wedding. Therefore, brides and grooms should expect some attendees to “go rogue” and ignore the guidelines.

#41 I Can’t Imagine Being So Demanding Over Gifts. Are Loved Ones’ Presence Not Enough Of A Gift
Was naive of me to think joining bridal groups would actually help me in any way. All it’s done is either make me panic over my upcoming wedding or provide me with eye roll moments such as this that at least make me laugh. I feel like we’re in a small minority, especially after this post but we specifically said no gifts

#63 Beggar Bride Asks Stranger To Be Bridesmaid Because She Gives Expensive Gifts – From Wedding Shaming Fb Page
I just… I met this woman once at a wedding where we were both bridesmaids. Apparently the bride told her my gift was "generous" so she wanted me to be her bridesmaid too to cash in? That's a hard pass. I'm wondering now why her other bridesmaid dropped out.
