'The bride's mother suggested that my girlfriend get hair extensions to be in the wedding, to not 'ruin the photos' for her daughter.'
asking,"Bridesmaids/groomsmen of Reddit, what's the most ridiculous request you had to endure for the couple's big day?" And the responses were wiiiild. Here are some of those submissions:"My friend decided to get married at a resort in Aspen.
We don't live in Colorado and he wasn't offering to pay for flight, hotel, tux, etc... for anyone except him and his wife. They were broke 23-year-olds just like us. Neither of their parents had the money either. It was a noon wedding, followed by a two-hour reception immediately afterward. That's it. Then everyone flies home. The bride and groom didn't even stay the night. He got so mad at me when I told him we won't be able to make it. Five years later, he still doesn't talk to me.""My friends were getting married, and my girlfriend and I were both in the wedding party. The bride's mother suggested that my girlfriend get hair extensions to be in the wedding, to not 'ruin the photos' for her daughter. My girlfriend has very short hair because she has Graves' disease. Her hair has become very brittle and is starting to fall out in clumps. I'm sure it wasn't intended to be rude, but telling somebody that they have to put on a wig because you don't think they look good enough to be in your daughter's photos seems pretty terrible to me.""Outdoor wedding with no backup plan on the shores of Lake Michigan. Pouring rain and wind, but the happy couple requested no umbrellas because they wanted to be able to see the faces in the crowd. They were able to see the very wet and angry faces of people whose clothes were ruined, while the bride and groom stayed dry under the gazebo.""I was a bridesmaid to my sister. She demanded that I grow out my bangs months before, because, as she put it, 'I don't want anyone's hair blowing in the wind, it all has to stay perfectly still.' Also, I'm quite pale, so she insisted I had to wear fake tan. I originally went and bought a pale tan colour, but the morning of the wedding, she made me pile it on. It was pretty hot that day, so subsequently, it stained my pale pink dress.""I was a bridesmaid, and my S.O. was a groomsman, and we were banned from looking at, speaking to, or dancing with each other for fear of 'out-cuting' the happy couple. We'd been together for five years at this point. We didn't do it, but the request alone was outrageous.""My sister just came home from a weekend trip to Miami that the bride demanded she attend. Why Miami, you may ask? To get drunk and spend time in the sun, and party all night? Apparently not. She forced her bridal party to go to Miami to go to some spas and be in bed by 10. She also booked only two hotel rooms with one bed each for the eight women. I advised my sister to get some better friends.""In college, I was a best man for a wedding where the bride demanded we all wear designer suits. I had to sell a guitar to afford just the rental. I had no money before, and after, I had no money and one less guitar. Then, at the reception, the groom pulled me aside and told me it was my job as best man to make sure their marriage went well. I was supposed to check in and help them with marriage-related matters to ensure they didn't get divorced. I looked him in the eye and said I can't be responsible for your marriage. He didn't talk to me from that second until just a couple of months ago, now six years after his wedding.""$500 pants. After I refused, the bride freaked because it made the wedding party uneven. The groom bought my pants, I wore them once, and they eventually divorced. He seems a lot happier with his new wife.""I was the maid of honor. She demanded I come pull weeds out of her parents' yard a day or two before the wedding because the reception was at her parents' house. I had already gone through multiple ridiculous requests the week leading up to the wedding, so this one, I put my foot down and said no. Got through the wedding. No longer friends. She did send a gift when I got married. A centerpiece from HER wedding, which I had helped make.""My best friend asked me to dye my hair from blonde to brown, because her other bridesmaids all had brown hair and she wanted to be the only one with blonde hair.""The bride bought us all earrings to wear on the day. I was met with a blank look when I told her the holes in my ears were closed over a while ago, so one of the other bridesmaids and I went into the other room and re-pierced my ears.""My wife was one of the bridesmaids. The couple wanted the entire wedding party to do a group pic in just their lingerie/boxers . She noped out of that, but apparently the other two girls and the groomsmen went for it. They still did the pic anyhow. Then, they wanted the groomsmen and maids to pair up and kiss for a picture. None of them knew each other. Apparently, she was the only one who didn't. Then, they basically shamed her for opting out of both of those to the point she came and found me crying, so we went home.""My future sister-in-law has made it very clear that she wants her bachelorette party to be a week in California. We live in New Jersey. That means I would have to take a week off from work, my husband would have to take a week off from work to stay with our children, I would have to pay for my airfare and hotel and all the weeks activities, and pay my share for her, since 'Everyone knows the bride doesn't pay for anything on her bachelorette party.' When I said I'd have to see if it's something that we could make work, she basically just said, 'Well, only the people that really love me will be there, I'm only going to get married once, so I have every right to be selfish.' Good luck marrying that one 🙄.""Best Man here. The wedding is in two weeks. I am not allowed to drink any alcohol until the reception because I turn a deep shade of scarlet. The bride doesn't want to have a tomato in the wedding photos. I'm Korean, and to be fair, I understand. I know there are remedies, but I don't want to chance anything on their day. I was incredibly amused when my best friend awkwardly tried to relay this to me.""My girlfriend was a bridesmaid, and the bride wanted one of those pics where the bridesmaids lift their dresses to show their ass and the bride pretends to act all shocked. None of the girls were really down for it, including my girlfriend, since the dress was really tight and she was wearing a thong. Not to mention, the groomsmen and family members were hanging around. The bride got really upset because she saw the same kind of picture on Pinterest a few days earlier and wanted to replicate it. She stormed off in the middle of taking pictures and didn't return for about half an hour, delaying the reception and their hungry wedding guests.""It was requested that I 'show the maid of honor a good time' the night before the wedding day, since she was from out of town, didn't know anyone, and was in the same hotel as me. I ended up hooking up with her. The wedding day was awkward because in all the pictures we were holding hands and looking like a couple, but the whole time, I did NOT want a relationship with her. Lots of 'you two are next' comments from the other bridesmaids. I haven't talked to her since.""My friend forced her entire bridal party to write a speech for the rehearsal dinner. I couldn't enjoy the dinner. I was so nervous, but I managed to sputter out something after three glasses of wine. Some of the others were so uncomfortable that they either lasted a few seconds or had uncomfortable moments of silence. She also wanted the bridesmaids to perform a dance routine. I noped out of that one, though.""My girlfriend was supposed to be a bridesmaid for a friend, but we found out about a week or two before the wedding that my girlfriend's mom, who lived in the same state as the wedding , was terminally ill and didn't have much time left. We decided to spend that weekend with Mom instead, and not once did the friend ask how my girlfriend was doing, if she needed anything, or anything at all. Just pestered her for the dress thathertz037"I was the maid of honor at my sister's wedding. She asked me if I could sleep with her husband's best man. In her words, 'Jake's saying he won't go unless there is a guarantee of a lay for him. I know you're single and everything...' I thought it was a joke at first. It wasn't. I, of course, said no. Surprise, Jake still showed up as best man without the promised booty. And boy was I glad I said no, because this guy had greasy hair and an odor that could only be described as piss.""I knew a woman who was a bridesmaid in a relative's wedding. She was married and had been trying to get pregnant for a while. Finally, her and her hubby got lucky and she conceived. The bridezilla got furious and kicked her out of the wedding because she would be pregnant in the pictures. Three months later, sadly, my friend miscarried. The bride called her with a response along the lines of 'Good, well now you can be back in the wedding.' Needless to say, she did not even attend it.""The bride insisted that all the groomsmen be clean-shaven for the wedding. Every single groomsman was a burly, mountain-man-looking guy who had been rocking a beard for years. We all argued to keep our beards, the groom even argued for us, but she was insistent that the pictures be beard-free. We all sucked it up and shaved, and we all look so stupid in those pictures. None of us looks anything like what we look like in real life, and a couple of the guys even had beard tan lines on their faces. Never again..."I was a groomsman. The request was to learn the entirety of the single ladies' dance for when the single ladies gathered to catch the bouquet. A friend called or texted every few days, 'Have you started practicing the routine?' We thought he was kidding the whole time. Lucky enough to be in the bathroom when the song came on."Lastly,"I was matron of honor for my sister's wedding. I have a pretty alternative look and have had it for years. I wear my hair in some neon color and a mohawk, she insisted I grow my hair out or cut it to a pixie and dye it. I am not particularly close to my sister. I had been wearing my hair in the same way for five years. She had known her fiancé for all of ten months before they were married, and she told me the changes she wanted me to make only two months before the wedding. My dad ended up buying me a wig, and I bribed my sister to let me take the wig off after the ceremony was over."What bizarre wedding requests have you gotten from a bride or groom?
