"Like, girl, no, goodbye. Our friendship is done. If she can’t have any compassion for things I’m going through, I can’t be friends. Talk about toxicity."

Weddings are easy to make a mess out of. That’s why you usually need professionals to handle it so the stress doesn’t turn you into a monster and not let others suffer your wrath.

It’s a lot of planning and traditions that are pushed by brides and grooms that don’t even have the resources to pull it off sometimes. So what do they do?

 They appoint bridesmaids that they think would bend over backward for them only to be treated like dirt afterward. And it doesn’t just humiliate them, it breaks friendships and even scars the bridesmaids emotionally enough to put them off of other weddings.

There are a lot of these stories that circulate online about the horror they had to endure as the bridesmaids to ‘bridezillas’ and ‘groomzillas’. One of them was even a bridesmaid to a ‘chillzilla’ that was indecisive to a fault, nothing ready for their own wedding, not even themselves.

There’s this commonness to their stories wherein the brides think the lives of others would stop just for them. No job, family, or personal life is apparently more important than their wedding, which is why they end up with burned bridges with these people who told their stories.

Who knew you have to hit beauty criteria to attend a wedding

It’s hard to be supportive when you’re sick and throwing up

Brides really think sometimes that bridesmaids...

are dispensable after all the work they do

Probably thinking to repay the privilege of being her maid of honor, she has to be at her beck and call

Bridezillas have this concept of having...

the world revolve around them

One experience to ruin them all

it's easy to say no the next time someone asks to involve you in their wedding

The bride might be madder that she would have to cover the expenses her friend was ‘supposed’ to pay for

Taking ‘I’d walk 500 miles’ to a whole new level

Still, no consideration from the bride at all

The ‘b*tch face’ comes from a place of overthinking ‘cause everything’s not all good

Yeah, it’s never great to be the last resort for someone that you know doesn’t even like you

Pyramid schemes doesn’t only ruin your chances...

of connecting with new people, it also ruins friendships

Still trying to connect the dots why OP’s situation puts a damper on the situation

Brides and grooms get cold feet but...

this bridesmaid got rashes

OP already offered to remedy the dress to appease her...

but she must have really hated that dress on OP

An emergency exit would have...

been great right about then

When you’re doing a 100 and they only see 0

Tough for her that it makes her sad but imagine OP's surprise

Not at all appropriate

An odd way to start and ghosting at the end. A recipe for disaster

That’s a weird way to show off your priorities and insecurities

There’s really a lot of brides who are blind to the effort of their friends and family,

could’ve gotten a planner if they were so strict about efforts

Sad that the wedding was a mess but...

it’s a rare story where the OP ends up still friends with the bride

There’s a reason she said no to the professional hairstylist at the salon and then she got a botched job from the bride

Might as well eloped if you’re going to have other people,

who aren’t professional planners do all the work

It was already hard to brush off the first part but oof, the second part was just a mess

Sometimes the before-the-wedding stuff foretells how the marriage is going to be

The stress of having to figure things out and letting other people down is enough pressure to put you off

Again, sometimes brides think that picking MOHs and...

bridesmaids meant appointing them as unpaid event planners

If you’re trying to get your bridesmaids to change that much for a day,

better to hire people that fit into your criteria than to make them suffer

You have bridezillas trying to control everything but it’s as worst as chillzillas that are impossibly indecisive

This was a big mess that OP didn’t need to have suffered through and...

seems like appreciativeness isn’t in the bride’s DNA but lying sure is

Every once in a while brides forget that the world doesn't revolve around them. That the work they expect from their bridesmaids and MOH are 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 great bridesmaids and MOH that makes things smoother.
