![]() ![]() It can be a great honor to be part of a friend’s wedding party, but these roles should also not be taken lightly. Along with agreeing to wear a specific outfit on the big day, the wedding party might be responsible for planning the bridal shower, planning the bachelor/bachelorette party, attending bridal appointments, and making sure the big day runs smoothly. The biggest priority is supporting your close friend as they enter this new stage in their life, but the role does not come without responsibilities. ![]() Image credits: Al Elmes (not the actual photo) A couple’s wedding day should be all about them, but that doesn’t mean they can steamroll their friends and make unreasonable demandsīeing a bridesmaid or a groomsman can be extremely exciting. “I’d say setting a dress code and limiting guests (mostly toxic family or trouble makers) should be what control for the most part, but not barring people because they need things like glasses, wheelchairs, hearing aids, or anything else they might need to function.” And as for what would make this friend leave a wedding altogether, he said that “a control freak moment from the bride or groom, the bride or groom insulting me throughout the wedding, or them making sudden and unreasonable demands at the last minute” would do the trick. “My family likes simple, inexpensive weddings, so nothing major,” he noted. Plogan56 also shared his thoughts on how controlling a bride and groom should be when it comes to their wedding party, noting that they’ve been to and in several weddings before. “The bride has tried reaching out to them to apologize, but I think they’re not gonna forgive her due to past transgressions.” And as far as why people sometimes feel entitled to treat their wedding parties poorly, this Redditor says that he doesn’t know this bridezilla well, “However I think was on a power trip, as her sudden disdain for glasses came out of nowhere on the day of the wedding.” “As far as I know, no, none of them have contacted the bride,” the friend shared. We were also curious if there had been any updates on the situation and if there had been any contact between the bride and the bridal party. “She and the rest of their group weren’t putting up with bridezilla anymore,” he added, noting that ‘Jemma’ is a fake name used for the purposes of this story. “I shared it because Jemma walking out, not only of a wedding but also a toxic friendship, was so satisfying and somewhat inspiring,” the friend told Bored Panda. We reached out to the bridesmaid’s friend, Plogan56 on Reddit, and he was kind enough to have a chat with us about why he shared this story in the first place.
