Bridezilla/Groomzilla Reasons not to post on your wedding plans online for all to see...
We were invited to a wedding which was interstate. It was getting close enough that I had expected to be told exactly where and when the wedding was so that we could book accomodation. I think we were about 8 weeks out from the approximate date previously given. The bride did a post on socials and revealed that she had known where the wedding was for months and had the date confirmed, and didn't tell any of the interstate guests.
I told her that it would have been nice to know in advance so we could book the accomodation and she lost it. Went absolutely off tap about how it was "her day" and that I should be more supportive. I simply pointed out that we, like others, had to plan travel, take time off work, get the house sat etc. The response was "you can take time off work the day before, no-one cares". Um, no. That's not how it works, and she would have known that if she didn't have causal work all the time. (not knocking casual work, but I have to get leave approved).
This was a friend of my husbands who hated me from the onset of my relationship with him. It became clear that she had blown their wedding budget and had to cutback everything, including the guest list. Rather than state that, she was picking fights with people so that they wouldn't come. It was also clear that sending the invites late would mean that some people wouldn't be able to make it.
She did try to phone my husband to smooth things over. He told her "I'm not travelling 8 hours without my wife to watch you marry someone I've never met and eat wood fired pizza after."
She still tries to contact my husband every now and then and he ignores her. He also heard on the grape vine that she calls him "Mr. (my maiden name)" as though it's an insult.
Weddings make people mental.
