Wedding Shop Workers Share Bridezilla Stories (r/AskReddit)

our slash our credit bye ready ribbit wedding shop workers what are your worst bridezilla stories retired master seamstress checking in not bridezilla but momzilla I was making her daughter a custom bias-cut gown and had limited fitting time because the bride lived one state over now bias-cut gowns are the devil to begin with we mum and I would work on details between fittings I would say our working relationship got very frosty each time the bride came for a fitting she lost weight tape measures don't lie and she was not a big girl to begin with mom would scream that her daughter did not loose any weight after the third fitting third fight in the third rebuild of a very complicated gown I finished it and told them to take the gown and do what they wanted with it it was gorgeous but hung loose the girl lost over three inches over the course of seven to eight weeks a lot hours of my life and the dollar sign dollar sign for the work the deposit took care of the materials one hundred and forty dollars per yard silk venice lace so there is that if the mum was that way I wouldn't be surprised she was losing weight due to the stress of the wedding right the bride was a sweetheart actually photographer during more than a dozen years in this business I've had almost nothing but fantastic clients will sweethearts and consider myself lucky the exception was a New York bride who was annoyed because it rained cats and dogs on her wedding day not sure if she understood I wasn't in charge of making the weather she had wanted to take golf carts to the beach with the wedding party to do fun photos there but that clearly didn't happen her foul mood spoiled a bit of the wedding good thing everyone else still appeared to be having a good time regardless she managed to stay barely polite to her vendors but weeks later unleashed on me because I had delivered among I don't know how many hundreds of photos two shots of the DJ she calculated that those photos based on my fee had cost her $14 a lossy and was almost comically displeased about that she also flipped her wig because she told me and she'd observed me eating a few canapes during the reception and at $3 apiece how did I not understand those were not intended for the hired help I offered to refund her $23 and inquired where she wanted me to send the check at that point she calmed down a bit possibly realizing how ridiculous she was being and then volunteered that maybe she was being a bit irrational at the moment because she was pregnant of course I offered my congratulations she grudgingly told me to keep the check I did put a baby gift a silver Apple in the mail to her a few weeks later I hope she and her husband and the baby lived happily ever after bridal consultant here my most memorable appointment was a party that showed up completely pooped - the wind hammered it wasn't unusual for bridal parties to have a little tailgate style party in our parking lot before coming into our store often they'd have mimosas or a shot or two to loosen up before the scary gown search this party must have finished a full bottle of whiskey between the five of them they didn't appear too sloppy when we first got started but about half an hour into the appointment it was pretty obvious that they will wait a drunk to be in the setting they were in I had to prop the bride up with her nose in the corner of her fitting room to lace her corsets because she couldn't stand and each time we stepped out onto the stage the bridesmaids would scream Beatlemania style until they were red in the face eventually my manager came to me and said very sternly sell this girl and get them out of here the appointment ended when she fell for a gown $700 over budget her drunkest bridesmaid swiped her own credit card to cover it and then one of them not sure which sprayed a brown bodily fluid of some kind over our entire tour leads I'm always late to the party for these but here goes I was the DJ for a wedding where the bride from a very wealthy family was not expected to live past childhood imagine if you will a girl who was raised having never heard the word no her entire childhood was one big Make A Wish TM she had a zest for life she loved to dance so much so that her parents were building her a giant lake house with I guess a ballroom but more like a disco club a room just for dancing she was marrying a man several years her senior that she met at a dance class he was just like a character out of a movie that jumps older women and then steals their fortunes except this was a much younger woman the request list for the wedding reception was a lot of early nineties high-energy dance music after dinner and I've done this hundreds of times dancing starts I decided to kick off Dancing with the bride's favorite song Technotronic pump up the jam until this moment I had nothing but pleasant interactions with this woman who genuinely seemed to appreciate life for how precious it truly is before the beat could even drop she was running over to me screaming tearing into me for ruining her wedding it was a spectacle and the guests watched in horror as she berated me she wasn't ready to dance yet and I was playing the song that she was most looking forward to dancing to on her wedding day I was forced to stop the song cold and the only sound was her screaming as I fumbled to find some cocktail music to throw on until she was ready to dance at the end of the night most Brides come up and hug me and thank me for a wonderful night I didn't get so much as an icy stare it was as I didn't even exist to her anymore her father came up and gave me a $400 gratuity his words offered but a simple apology but you could tell they carried the weight of the monster he'd created photographer here the couple opted for an outdoor wedding with no weather backup option and lo and behold it started pouring literally five minutes before the ceremony the guests and groom ran for cover under the reception tent after it didn't let up the groom made a mad dash to the door of the RV the bride was getting ready in because she nor any of the bridesmaids were answering their phones she made the poor guy stand outside in the pouring rain while she screamed and cussed that she was not getting married on brother tent and everyone would just have to wait until it stopped raining this was the middle of July so even the rain was hot and sticky and there were a lot of elderly family members with health issues in attendance sitting in 80 degree heat for over an hour the cake had also started melting I honestly wasn't sure if the wedding was going to happen at one point but it eventually stopped raining and the bride married her soaked groom and ate wedding cake soup my experience with the Britta's Allah happened at my great aunt's house she has a private lake and a lovely setup for a small country-style outdoor wedding the mother of the groom was a close friend of hers so my aunt was happy to open up her home for the event I got the feeling eating up to the wedding that the groom's family didn't care much for the bride and after witnessing her throwing a temper tantrum over the placement of the food table because it started to rain I kind of started to see why listening to the way she talked to everyone around her appalled me she was a complete spoiled brat and really was lucky that everyone didn't just leave the wedding completely I wouldn't have blamed them a bit however the worst was the fact that she decided that she wanted her bridesmaids to walk barefoot in the muddy wet grass after she had them buy new boots to wear specifically with their dresses anyone who has ever bought cowboy boots knows that they are upwards of 100 dollars and she picked out pink ones to match their pink dresses all five of the bridesmaids had to buy these boots on top of whatever they had to pay for the dress and she decides ten minutes before the wedding starts that she doesn't want them to wear them of course everyone complies with her and pacifies her and the wedding goes well although it got pretty tense during the speak now or forever hold your peace part not surprised to hear that the marriage didn't make it to six months she was the most selfish person I've ever met I'm convinced that she didn't want to get married at all just wanted all the attention on her deep crimson account I used to work as a bridal registry consultant for a big department store I had several nightmare couples and family members but I always think of this guy the bride was pleasant enough and very polite she expressed great excitement when discussing the plans for the wedding and the groom just seemed bored she was very excited to pick out fine china and the groom snapped he yelled at her and called her an idiot and told her that there's no need for expensive things like that he said we would never use it and she insisted that she will find reasons to use it so it won't go to waste she also said that her family insisted on her picking a pattern and they would all chip and to get the set she was nice enough and patient enough with this jerk that she kept asking him what he liked the groom didn't like anything and kept yelling at her and told her that she's wasting his time and that she was stupid he kept insisting that she was an idiot and it was getting really uncomfortable I tried to intervene as much as I could but this groom was complete scum eventually he stormed off and I try to keep everything life that hidden happy for the bride I hope she didn't go through with that wedding I've never seen a Britta's in a first hand but I just read a story from someone on Korra who said that she and another woman used to be sorority sisters with this girl a few years after they all graduated the girl called and let them know she was getting married and that the wedding would be soon she said that even though they couldn't be bridesmaids they could stay over with her the night and day before and attend the wedding as well they didn't think it was weird at first they thought maybe the bride felt bad and wanted some special time with them come to find out once they got to her house the mom of the bride just yelled at them and told them to do little tasks and chores for the wedding including preparing the bride and doing her mchupe doing the wedding the mom asked to meet the two of them in the kitchen of the venue and proceeded to tell them to start washing dishes the woman's friend threw a dish on the floor and they left they haven't talked to the bride or awful bride Monson's thank you for watching ready ribbit don't forget to Like and subscribe for more our /oscar edit videos share your stories
