Nevertheless, the bride was certain of her ideal wedding day itinerary. She soon discovers, though, that not everyone has the same perspective. Continue reading to learn more.
A soon-to-be bride asked, “Am I being unreasonable?” on Reddit, something she had been considering. She posted a message on her situation on the popular “AITAH” site, which stands for “Am I The Asshole.”
A soon-to-be bride complained on social media that they were receiving cancellations after she and her fiancé sent out a list of rules to the wedding guests.
She said before she began writing that she wanted to clear up any confusion that her fiancé was “bridezilla” imposing the restrictions against his will and that he had equally participated to their creation.
She went on to list each regulation in detail.
The couple wanted a “unpluggled” ceremony. During the ceremony and the luncheon that followed, guests were not permitted to have phones on them unless there was a really serious emergency. Although attendees knew they couldn’t use their phones during the wedding, others thought it went a bit too far to forbid them throughout dinner.
She had informed them that if she had to make an exception for them, she would have to do one for everyone. Some parents had mentioned that they relied on their phones to keep an eye on their children when they were at home. The author said, “Checking in with your kids is not an emergency.” Should something noteworthy happen, you’ll be informed.
The pair also adhered to a rigid dress code and color palette. Men had to wear tuxedos, ladies had to wear dresses, and everyone was requested to wear just black. The regulation did not have any exceptions. Not an exception was her aunt, who lost her husband and dressed mostly in black throughout her grief period before eventually switching back to a more colorful outfit. Even when she said that wearing all-black everything made her feel down. Because she always wore slacks to feel more at ease with her body and because she suffers body dysmorphia, her future sister-in-law likewise had trouble with the clothing rule; no exception would be granted for her.
They instructed their bridesmaids to maintain their weight, whether it meant eating more or less, and ordered the bridesmaid outfits months in advance.
According to her, her mother was furious about these regulations and informed the bride that her wedding was doomed from the beginning. In addition, her bridesmaids have threatened to back out, and she has last-minute cancellations from wedding guests.
Their flower girl was supposed to be the daughter of her maid of honor, but it was no longer going to happen. Since the wedding location is four hours away for them, the maid of honor plans to leave her kid with her mother instead of complying with the bride’s request that the flower girl be placed at a hotel with a babysitter during the ceremony.
Naturally, despite her introduction and admonition, people continued to believe that she and her fiancé were acting totally irrationally and were unquestionably “assholes.”
Many others brought up the point that although a couple’s choices could determine how their wedding is conducted, individuals are free to reject their proposal and do not have to follow their guidelines.
Overall, Reddit users agreed almost unanimously that the couple’s demands were ridiculous.
