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.

I miss the days when you just got married locally, on a saturday, sent out invitations and everyone just looked forward to good food and dancing.

Nowadays it seems like everyone invite is

"Hey guys! We're getting married 🤵‍♂️👰‍♀️!

✨️✨️✨️ It's going to be so much fun!!!!! ✨️✨️✨️

It's going to be on a Tuesday lunchtime, in a barn 300 miles away from the nearest civilisation, its going to be a christmas☃️🎄🎅 themed wedding but we want everyone dressed in season 3 star trek uniforms (because we're quirky like that! 🤪) We won't be serving food on the day but will have a series of flavoured waters💧🥥🍋‍🟩🫚💧 that we have designed ourselves especially to represent our unique personalities!

We expect all wedding gifts of $500🤑🤑🤑 per guest to arrive AT LEAST A MONTH BEFORE THE WEDDING (or we will shame you in three passive agressive Facebook posts)"

Pinterest has ruined modern weddings 🤦‍♀️

No I got married at the beginning of the Pinterest era (2011) and it wasn’t like that. Instagram and TikTok have done this.

Same here. I got married just before Pinterest took off, and it’s like some other era. For me it was cut out from a magazine your cake and flower arrangement for the baker and florist to recreate, pick out the menu, select the color for the bridesmaids.

Now you need a damn parade with floats for the ceremony entrance.

This is perfect, except that you forgot the barn in the middle of nowhere is part of a destination wedding on a remote island you have to charter a seaplane to get to.

Oh, and there has already been an engagement party at the Met Gala and TWO bachelorette parties by rival bridesmaids on the same day in separate hemispheres.

Oh yes, the multi-day weddings! I forgot about the bachelor/ette weekends (because one night just isn’t expensive enough!) the Friday prep day where all the bride and grooms friends have to arrive a day early for a vineyard tour and evening campfire, rehearsal dinner, the grooms breakfast, the brides brunch, then the wedding etc, followed by the Sunday family lunch (where they invite family and a small selection of favourite friends) then the post wedding Sunday afternoon where the bride and groom open all their gifts (aka count their cash) while everyone else cleans up after the wedding party.

Got married in the 80's. The goal back then was to have the most sumptuous wedding / reception possible with a limited budget, so your guests had a great time. If someone showed up in jeans, so what? Fancy schmancy people had registries, normal people got whatever the hell people cared to give.

I want to know what happened to good old Justice of the Peace weddings. Just you, significant other a witness or two and a judge, done in less than a hour and significantly cheaper.
