My SIL and I were planning weddings around the same time. She is one of those brides that needs/wants everything to be instagram worthy, Pinterest perfect.
I had been in the family for around three years prior to the engagement. I have been type 1 diabetic for over 20 years. I have a omnipod (tubeless insulin pump) and a cgm. These are small external devices.
So come the weeks leading up to SIL’s wedding, i get a request that i make sure my cgm is not visible for photos. I wear both on my abdomen so it seemed like a weird request because they are never visible. That’s when she informed me that she wanted them not visible in photos, the bridesmaids dresses were tight and you could see the small bumps of my devices through the dress. I asked her how she proposed i do that. She told me spanx — double layered spanx. Well i tried that…except then the devices couldn’t connect to the pdms, too much fabric layers interfered. I informed her of this.
She them told me to take them off for the day. Yeah…um I NEED insulin. I did not remove them and she sulked and glared the whole time we got ready.

42.This couple wanted people to only buy the expensive items on their registry.
43.This bride literally expected a guest to cut their hair into a pixie cut for her wedding.
Here's what it says:
I have wavy brown hair. I used to have a pixie cut, which I maintained for six years. While I did love it, the main reason why I kept cutting it short was because it looked awful whenever it grew longer. Last year, it started growing well for the first time in forever, so I decided to grow it out. I haven't gotten a haircut since January 2022, and my hair is now just past my shoulders. I have no interest in cutting it shorter right now.
Anyway, my childhood friend "Ally" is getting married next month. Last week, I saw her for the first time in a while at our friend's birthday party. The first thing she did when she spotted me was comment on my hair, saying she was shocked it looked as pretty as it did.
The next day, Ally called to say she wanted me to get a pixie cut again for her wedding day. I was a bit shocked, but politely declined.
As much as I loved having short hair, I had to get it cut every 3 months to keep the hairstyle. If I didn't, I'd get a mullet that would put Hulk Hogan to shame. I have my own wedding coming up next year, and I want my hair to be longer by then. Also, while it's not too far off my budget to get 4 haircuts a year, I had a baby 3 months ago, and I'd rather spend that money on diapers and clothing.
Ally got more forceful, demanding me to do it. She said that her family, who hasn't seen me in years, still thinks I "look like a boy", and that seeing me with longer, more "feminine" hair would take her spotlight. I'm wearing a dress to the wedding, and my boobs have increased twice in size since I started breastfeeding, so I don't think I'd "look like a boy" even if I did get a pixie cut, but oh well.
I offered to wear a wig (my friend has one he can lend me), but nope. She wants me to cut it. I might've considered her request if I was in the wedding party, but I'm not. I'm just a guest.
Ally hasn't banned me from the wedding or anything drastic, but is clearly bitter about this. She's been making passive-aggressive comments about my refusal in our group chat, and keeps sending me old pictures of us from when my hair was still short.
I really don't want to budge on this, but I'm starting to doubt myself. AITA?
44.This person wanted to send save the dates...with notes letting family members know they aren't invited to the wedding.
45.This couple expected their bridal party to take a whole week off for their destination wedding.
46.This person thought they owned their first dance song.
47.This couple thought they could exploit teenage volunteers and make it count for their volunteer hours (that are supposed to be at charities).
48.The bride in this story expected everyone to put their lives on hold for years until her wedding.
49.This bride literally bullied her bridesmaid.
50.This bride was angry that all their bridesmaids and groomsmen needed glasses and would thus cause her to "stand out."
51.This couple felt the need to post a list of rules for their wedding.
52.This bride caused a scene thinking one gift wasn't big enough, then got the perfect retribution.
53.This bride couldn't even get on with her wedding planning because she kept making her fiancé repropose since it wasn't "good enough," and I'm honestly hoping at this point they just never make it to the wedding.
54.If this entitled couple thinks this is okay, frankly, I don't think they're in a place to be ready for marriage.
If you can't read the above, it says:
"AITA for trying to make my mother hand over her engagement rings to me and my fiancé?
Me (27 F) and my fiancé (30 M) are getting married in a few weeks. A lot of funds have been going to the wedding. Me and my fiancé have struggled a little bit. We’ve got everything ready, but we couldn’t possibly afford the rings.
My mother (54 F), has a gorgeous engagement ring: silvery with a diamond material. I've been absolutely in love with the ring ever since i was a little girl. My father has been dead for over a decade: he got into a car crash, and my mother hasn’t remarried. On Wednesday, I tried to talk to my mother about giving me and my fiancé the engagement rings, since my father is dead, and she doesn’t even need the rings anymore. My mother got upset, and said that she wouldn’t give up her ring because it reminded her of my father, and [that] she wanted to keep the rings to remember the times they spent together.
I tried to talk calmly to my mother, because we were on the phone, and I was in a public space, so I explained to her how beneficial it would be for me and my fiancé, since we could save money and not have to spend it on rings, but my mother didn’t want to hear it. She called me selfish, and hung up.
After talking to my fiancé about what happened, he took my side, because he didn’t understand why my mother wanted to keep the rings — they were useless to her, but they could be useful to me and my fiancé.
I talked to my mom’s side of the family to try and get them to convince her, but they also got mad, and they said I was being disrespectful to my mother.
After talking to my mom’s side of the family, I sort of understood where she was coming from, but I still believe that me and my fiancé would really benefit from the rings. AITA?"
55.If you think your wedding is more important than a national tragedy, I think you really need to rethink your life.
Here's the text if you can't read it (with a couple spelling errors fixed):
"*Warning — kind of a rant* Do I still plan on Maui??
Hi guys! Ive been a longgggtime lurker and finally got engaged myself July 4! Yayyyy! It was beautiful but the period since has been anything but. 'When's the date?' I hear ten times a day. I was under the impression I'd be getting some type of financial help from my own dad and stepmom, but nothing. My fiancé has a huuuuge Irish Catholic family and they informed us they would be able to help, but 1) I don't feel comfortable accepting and 2) They have no idea what weddings really cost. I'm from Cape Cod, which is where they live now. Average weddings cost about 70-100k here, not even exaggerating. I was very hopeless and depressed about it. Like any girly girl I've dreamed of my wedding for so long, at least an AVERAGE one!! I lost my mother when I was 9, and I felt it bringing a lot of stuff up. Moving forward, we happened to hear about Hawaii elopements, which I kinda settled on in my head but ended up getting excited for. We spent a lot of time researching and I was really set on Maui. We are planning for next June in 2024. Would it be terrible to still plan on going there? I just read 1200 people are still unaccounted for...I feel terrible about what happened and feel like the biggest bitch to even ask this question but really looking for opinions/ideas. Should we still plan on Maui? Another island? Another place altogether? I felt like it was a sign when I chose Maui but then felt like everything going on is telling me no...
Any advice so appreciated.
56.This greedy couple that wanted to steal tips from bartenders does not sound mature enough to get married, either.
57.This couple had wildly extreme rules.
If you can't read the above, it says:
"No phones and no cameras allowed (must be turned in to Security at the door).
12/09/23 UPDATE: We have inquired and the rules are in place for the entire FIVE HOUR event (ceremony+reception). The phones and cameras will be kept in a traditional iron safe. The security detail are 4 retired police officers, but only one of them will know the combination to the safe.
Just received a wedding invite which states "We want our guests to be present in body, mind, and soul. The venue has paid security and guests will be required to turn in all phones and cameras to security at the door."
It goes on to say "If you are found to have a phone or camera on your person, we will politely ask you to leave the venue."
Now, I have to say that in my opinion this is very extreme. The bride and groom are not famous. They are just random everyday people.
Sure the bride is a "little bit hippie" (yoga instructor by day, life coach by night) but this seems overboard to me.
My sister (who is not coming) would not have been able to comply with this request (DEMAND) as she is diabetic and needs to have her phone if her Dexcom alarm goes off.
Obviously my example of needing a phone is extreme as well, but I just think this is extraordinary."
58.This awful bride cared more about the wedding photos than her best friend — and was also marrying someone anti-LGBTQ.
59.This awful bride didn't want her fiancé's son at the wedding.
60.This bride tricked a friend into planning her wedding for her and then uninvited her.
61.And this couple put things like "a year of housecleaning" on their "honeymoon fund" — after having a courthouse wedding where they didn't invite anyone.
If you can't read the above, it says:
"My cousin already got married (courthouse?) but just set up a fund to contribute to their international (2 countries) honeymoon. Many items on the list have nothing to do with a honeymoon (just two examples — $1,200 for one year of housecleaning, $800 toward babysitting future children — she’s almost 50). Not counting gift card requests for varying amounts, items with set amounts total over $35,000.
What’s wrong with people? Betting that if they have an actual ceremony they’ll expect more gifts. I’ll give a gift if/when I’m invited to a ceremony."
62.This bride expected her fiancé to just buy her a house — and was considering breaking up with him over it. Girl, you should break up with him either way, because this is not a healthy expectation.
63.This potential bride (big emphasis on "potential") definitely needs to reassess her priorities before marriage.
If you can't read the above, it says (with a couple spelling and punctuation issues fixed):
"Okay, first I have to explain myself. My (22 F) significant other (23 F) of five years knows I'm all about big 'milestone' events. [I'm] the type of girl who dreamt about her wedding for days when she was little — the type of girl that tried designing her own Quinceañera dress because she wanted every single detail perfect. Some call me crazy because it's the family, friends, [and] stories, that matter, right? Wrong! I'm not superficial or materialistic, but it's important for me to create moments on places that you're never going to forget.
As I said, my girlfriend knows that. We've talked about marriage, [and] we've talked about how our future would look like. She doesn't really care about this in the way I do, but she says yes to everything because she knows it makes me happy. Keeping that in mind, we can continue to the story everyone wants to read.
I knew the day of the proposal was coming, I have this sixth sense where I know if something is happening or if a big change is coming. I was going crazy, making my nails, doing my hair, buying cute clothes just in case.
Then it happened, she proposed...in our bedroom. We were cuddling and watching my favorite show. She told me she wanted to ask me something and just did. I laughed 'cause I thought it was a joke and just said something like, 'yeah, like you'll propose to me on our bedroom,' and she grabbed a pink box from the nightstand and showed me a ring. I couldn't say anything at that moment. She asked again and I just watched her. I asked her if she was serious and she told me that she was, that she wanted to spend her whole life with me.
I quickly stood up and she noticed that I wasn't happy 'cause she quickly asked 'you are going to say yes, right?'
Of course I wanted to say yes, but I looked around our room: a McDonald's bag 'cause we just had it for dinner, our dog's toys on the floor, the laundry basket... yeah no, this wasn't how i imagined my dream proposal, and she knew this.
'Are you really proposing to me on our bedroom?', I asked. I noticed how nervous she started to get, talking about how this is our comfort place, about how safe we feel here when we are together and shit like that.
And I said no, this wasn't how I dreamed it would be so I cannot accept you here. I knew she wanted to cry but she tried to hold it. She just stood up and left the bedroom. I said that we should talk about this but she just left — I heard her grabbing her keys and leaving the house. I think she is at her mom's house. She's not texting me back nor answering my calls. This happened some days ago and still cannot get in contact with her. Her mom just told me to leave her alone to calm down. What do I do? Am I the asshole for just trying to get the proposal of my dreams?"
64.This bride was just clearly racist.
65.This bride sent out a passive-aggressive email an hour after the initial wedding invite reminding guests to RSVP quickly so as not to risk becoming "beggars."
66.This couple expected the groomsmen to buy $800 custom cowboy boots.
67.And finally, this bridezilla yelled at the wedding officiant for speaking to her.
If you can't read the above, it says:
"Weirdest thing I’ve experienced officiating a wedding.
I’m a wedding officiant and have done over 200 weddings and have lots of 5 star reviews. On the day of the wedding,I went in to talk to the bride and groom and the bride yelled at me and said “You’re not part of the wedding party. Get out of here.” I was shocked….and just left. I’ve never experienced this before. Usually the bride and groom welcome me and want to know what I have to say, verify that there are no changes and sometimes sign the license beforehand, whatever. I have now experienced my first Bridezilla. I bit my tongue and did the wedding with a smile."
