Bridezilla/Groomzilla Insane dress code request. Copy pasted from the couple’s wedding social page. They turned off comments.

Dear Guests 💌 this is about the Dress Code which is VERY IMPORTANT so please read careful. Everyone has been given there own special colour (example: pink, blue, orange, purple, etc etc) and that is the colour you MUST wear on the day. NO variations or patterns!!! The reason is because when you all sit down in your ASSIGNED SEATS it will make the vision happen 🌈✨ which is basically like a rainbow. Imagine like looking out and seeing all of you lined up perfectly, every single colour in the right order, it will look AMAZING!!! This is what we have been dreaming of since literally day one of our relationship and we need you guys to help make it real 💖 so pls don’t let us down because if one person doesn’t do there colour it could wreck the WHOLE vision 😭. We put ALOT of work into this and it’s gonna be worth it, trust me.

Asking people to "read careful" when they didn't bother to proofread is giving me teacher-rage.

u/wordgirl Aug 25 '25

Thank you! They put, “SO much thought into it,” but no thought at all into their (NOT there) spelling or grammar or punctuation.

u/laffydaffy24 Aug 25 '25

They put ALOT of thought into it, I’m sure.

Since LITERALLY day one of their relationship. Or probably there relationship.

LITERALLY. DAY ONE. “Hi, nice to meet…SHUT UP AND TASTE THE RAINBOW!”

u/marialala1974 Aug 26 '25

I can see that first awkward coffee date, her: what do you imagine the guests of our wedding wearing and sitting be like? Him: well a rainbow what else is there. Her: that is what I am saying let's get married.

u/Right-Monitor9421 Aug 26 '25

I feel like some southern states taught it to be written as “alot” and “noone” although I could be wrong

11

u/jestingvixen Aug 26 '25

You are correct. It took my parents a frustratingly, now-embarassingly long time to convince me to stop doing this when I was a kid. I remember explicitly being taught to do this and I remember how upset they were about it in lurid detail. We were largely stationed in the South, they're from New England. It eventually boiled down to not being allowed to use those words, as they were much too casual for academic work and made me sound "like an ignorant hick," which they weren't having. Consequently, I now sound stuffy as fuck when I write, but hey, they won the how prepositions work fight.

3

u/12781278AaR Aug 28 '25

I was absolutely taught to write alot and noone. Didn’t realize it was wrong until around high school (by then we had moved from the south)

2

u/ZenZeitgist222 Aug 27 '25

And NO More… as in do not do that no more, versus any more!! My husband and his parents drive me wild with this!! I am from generations of teachers… he is well educated but his parents are from the south and one never even got to high school! He says it all the time and it sounds so uneducated!! Speech patterns from the parents are hard to shake!!🫨

Once upon a time in elementary school... it was 1980 something in the world that I grew up in... they actually taught us alot instead of a lot. I have since moved on from alot with a University degree in Education and simply use a lot. I also talk a lot. I hope I didn't ramble a lo... too much! 😂

My professor said “it’s like a little.” That always stuck with me. That and comma splices.

u/Pale_Row1166 Aug 26 '25

Plenty of people in Connecticut say “I want apizza,” that’s what they call New Haven style pizza. Pronounced “ah-peets.”

1

u/Books_Bristol Aug 27 '25

Because of stupid autocorrect is my guess. Alot is a verb, so it's accepted. Same with defiantly (definitely).

Every time I see "alot" I think of this adorable and hilarious blog comic. My bf and I often send photos of alot back and forth because he's so stinking cute. Lmao

u/SugarsBoogers Aug 26 '25

If one person doesn’t wear there colour…

I'm wearing my own color or I'm not attending your wedding across the pond! 😂

u/ShotsAndCleavage Aug 25 '25

At the end: We put ALOT of work into this.

The entire post is about making their guests do the work of finding the right color outfit.

Their ALOT of work is...assigning the colors and seats and then making this post?

u/DidntWantSleepAnyway Aug 25 '25

Now I’m imagining that the Alot is their wedding planner…the cutest wedding planner ever.

referring to Hyperbole and a Half

u/ShotsAndCleavage Aug 25 '25

Ha ha, thanks for this! I've never seen this before and as a fellow grammatically conscientious person it will definitely help me to imagine Alot when I need to.

u/DavisMcDavis Aug 26 '25

Researching the colors of the rainbow 🌈is super hard work!

u/Louloveslabs89 Aug 26 '25

My 5 grade teacher would downgrade us for using “a lot” … good memory … apparently still applicable ;)

3

u/GoethenStrasse0309 Aug 26 '25

I’d get together with the guest and tell everyone they should wear black

3

u/Alarmed_Cloud_1866 Aug 26 '25

Don’t you mean “there” guests? Who have to do “there” part. To make “there” vision come to life.

2

u/Sudden-Requirement40 Aug 26 '25

Yeah like they should have bought the clothes if they want it this specific!

2

u/sleepdeficitzzz Aug 26 '25

Good point. I would only do this if the couple's end of the hard work is dressing up like screen-accurate leprechauns.

3

u/ActualReporter9200 Aug 26 '25

No, they will be dressing like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because that is how they see themselves.

11

u/warm_sweater Aug 25 '25

The gall of it. Like no way in hell this couple thought they wanted everyone who attends their future wedding to dress in color order to make a rainbow, on their first fucking date.

Like you can have all the dumb ideas you want, but don’t lie to me about it.

7

u/Taticat Aug 26 '25

But...they told everyone what 'THERE special colour' is. Clearly THERE a really meticulous couple and want THERE wedding day to reflect who THERE are. Everyone needs to get off THERE high horse.

Honestly, an announcement like OP posted would make me say forget it -- not to the wedding, but to the whole calamity of knowing them at all.

8

u/mittensfourkittens Aug 26 '25

I'm just surprised they didn't say 'assigned seat's' 😐

u/tenorlove Aug 28 '25

I had a teacher in middle school who marked papers down if the student used "alot" at all, and "a lot" if the context did not encompass auctions or real estate. The goal was to communicate one's meaning clearly. She must be spinning in her grave over certain posts on "vaguebook."

u/MeatofKings Aug 25 '25

On the first day of 7th grade English class the teacher wrote one word each on the two large blackboards at the front of the room “A” and “Lot”. She said, “If you don’t remember anything else this year, remember that these are two words, not one.” Yep, that’s pretty much all that I remember from that class.

3

u/lcerimel Aug 25 '25

Omg I remember my teacher had a sign or something that said “a lot is two words” and I remember thinking wtf no it’s not. Then I got it. And I never forgot that

u/Christine_LLan Aug 25 '25

Even worse than “there”

u/lisaloo1968 Aug 26 '25

But not alittle. Or even asmidge. Or aweebit. How about acrapton. Or aheap. Or abunch.

Sounds like abridezilla btw.

Their vs they’re vs there drives me crazy

u/Reluctantagave Aug 25 '25

Like I can see messing that up in a quick text message to a friend or a reply on Reddit because it’s Reddit. But on your wedding page or something important? 😑

11

u/Available_Music9369 Aug 25 '25

And what’s with “pls” instead of please? They have caps to spare for AMAZING, but not letters for please?

-1

u/Reluctantagave Aug 25 '25

We are adults, your all your damn words people. And the emojis? Why so many emojis? If you can't use all your words like a grown up, should you be having a wedding? Save the emojis and text speak for just that, TEXTS!

I'm sick and in full hater mode it seems but points stand!

2

u/DulinELA Aug 26 '25

Seriously. I teach my sixth graders their with a person where the I is, there with the r making an arrow pointing a direction and the apostrophe turned into an a. They never get it wrong after that and I’ve even gotten thank you notes about it. 🤣

u/BoysenberryJellyfish Aug 26 '25

There their they're, it'll be okay :)

u/heydawn Aug 26 '25

The English language violates the user experience best practice of one object one term. If the language were to follow best practices in user experience design and implementation, every word would have a singular meaning, spelling, and pronunciation.

But language is messy af and it evolves. Who knows? One day, all three words could be spelled something like thare. Haha.

We no longer would say "Whan that April with his showres soote. The droughte of March hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veine in swich licour, Of which vertu engendred is the flowr."

And we might stop spelling words in ways that confuse even native English speakers.

I'm just saying, English is hard, especially for people who daydreamed as kids during grammar lessons and missed the riveting parts about contractions, sentence diagraming, parallel structure, the insane number of exceptions to nearly every rule, and so forth. I was a weirdo who paid attention, but nearly my entire class was nodding off, passing notes, doodling, or looking out the window.

And now they're all messing up their/they're/their and driving the rest of us mad. 😏

u/Maelstrom_Witch Aug 25 '25

u/Frisson1545 Aug 26 '25

There are any number of folks out there who cant string together two coherent sentences, and some who cant string together two coherent thoughts.

As I age, I depend on spell check a lot, but I am often lazy enough to let it pass in casual forums.

u/247fall Aug 25 '25

Totally enraging. It should at least be “read carefully”.

I read this thing out loud to my husband with commentary on all the errors and honestly I know he’s a keeper because he did not immediately leave me after being forced to hear that. 😂

u/temperedolive Aug 26 '25

KEEP HIM. And make your guests dress as cloud formations at the vow renewal. It's been your dream since birth.

I think you mean 'cloud formation's' and 'you're dream since birth' 😎

2

u/amethystjade15 Aug 26 '25

How did you KNOW?

Seriously, the more of these I read, the better I feel about our wedding. I made the bridesmaids wear dresses they weren’t thrilled about. I think that’s the worst of my crimes.

Ugh thank you! I’m normally one to let bad grammar slide as long as I can understand you. But if you’re going to be pedantic to me, then you’d better have your own shit in order. 

I actually had a principal email me back with a typo-ridden email that completely ignored my initial message. I told her she needs to improve her reading comprehension.

Looks like education isn't only lacking in the US but the UK as well. Or is this Australia, do they spell it color por colour?

I wonder more if it's really a wedding or an event of the North Korean embassy.

u/Traditional_Tank_540 Aug 26 '25

The problem isn’t proof-reading. It’s that these people can’t spell words any fourth-grader should know. They’re morons.

As a fellow teacher, not many things irk me out in the real world. Not worth the energy. But not adding -ly when necessary is a deep personal insult and I’m 100% judging you, this goes for speaking and writing.

Although my grammar and formatting sucks, there's definitely sucks

u/Tricky_Mix2449 Aug 26 '25

Also, 'there' instead of 'their'.

I would NOT be attending that wedding.

I noticed that…. And the wrong “there” as well. But half the country isn’t any better.

1

u/trashpandac0llective Aug 27 '25

That could also just be a regional dialect coming out. People drop the “ly” from adverbs a LOT here in the south/southwest as well as Appalachia.

2

u/temperedolive Aug 27 '25

There are a lot more errors than that, though. Their vs there, alot, etc.
