I went to a wedding once where the bride was a full-blown bridezilla, and I was just a guest, which meant I had a front-row seat to the madness without any of the responsibility. It was something.

The vendors looked tired. The wedding party looked like they’d been through something. The groom was smiling in a way people smile when they’ve given up. I felt bad for everyone who had to actually deal with her that day, but from the outside looking in, it was one of the most memorable weddings I’ve ever attended.

These bridezilla stories are for anyone who’s been on the inside of that situation. Some of these brides pushed people so far that people just left, and you’ll understand why.

1. I’m A Wedding Photographer And I Have To Shame This

Animals in wedding.

I’ve seen dove thrown in the sky. I’ve seen the “horse carriage “ trend. I’ve seen decorative parrots.

But this summer, I’ve been disgusted by this new company that sells “quality wedding butterflies”

I was made aware that there would be a “butterfly release” when the couple would leave the church. In my head, there would be a big cage/aquarium full of butterfly and they would open it. But no.

Butterflies were kept in a cake box. Mother of the bride opened the cake box and smaller, butterfly shapes boxes were inside. The boxes were tiny, so it was clear the butterflies were trapped with no possibility of movement. How cruel. Mother of the bride gave one tiny box to every member of the wedding party.

Then it hit me. We’re in the south, it was burning out outside. It was impossible to survive in this heat and…well all the butterflies that were probably sitting in a box in the car since this morning were not alive.

When everyone opened their butterfly box, they either fell on the ground or stayed lifeless in their boxes.

Seriously how is this thing even legal.

The wedding was butterfly themed (cupcake, colors, etc) and I thought the bride liked butterflies enough to know better.

2. Bride Gets Mad At Me For Wearing A “Better Dress” Even Though She Approved Of It The Day Before

I 28F have a sister 23F who just got married. I was invited as a guest to her wedding. The day before her wedding I was showing her the dress I was gonna wear to the wedding and she said it was gorgeous. The dress was this little black dress with a little bit of sparkles and a corset. When I arrived to the reception she was a lil stunned and came up to me saying something in the lines of “oh wow I didn’t know you were actually gonna wear it” and than just laughed but I could see by her face that she had a problem with it. All throughout the wedding I saw her giving me these strange looks. And once during the wedding I saw her talking to some people and than at one point they all just stared at me and gave me a nasty look. She hasn’t really been the same to me ever since. I honestly don’t think I did anything wrong and think she was overreacting especially since she literally approved of the dress so I don’t know why she changed her mind so fast.

3. Expecting 2 Week Postpartum Bridesmaid To Show Up

I backed out of this wedding party for other reasons but the vibes continue.

Wedding in October 2025; engaged May 2024 and the whole wedding was planned and pre paid by November 2024 per seat (150 people) in advance so they are desperate to fill seats as it would be $$ lost. Primary concern for wedding party: the procession will not “look balanced and now we can’t ask 2 more people to fill the slots bc it’s rude that they’re second choice” and they’re asking co workers to come to wedding to fill the 150 for those who RSVP’d no haha

Her SIL is in the wedding and will be 2 weeks postpartum when the wedding comes; she was not pregnant at the time of the bridesmaid proposal as it was over a year ago and they announced it in the winter i think. She naturally got mad about it and pulled her brother aside to ask when she’s due and if she’s still coming. the SIL said she would LOVE to be there but it just depends on her recovery and how she is doing and how baby is doing.

Bride got mad and said “stop popping out kids you already have 2” “just get a sitter it’s not that hard” then called me to talk about it and I said it’s rude of her to assume that they can come and the problem isn’t so much the sitter it’s just health/wellbeing/needs of baby since 2 weeks pp is a lot to be in a wedding and be away from a newborn!

Wedding is 2 hours away from their home).

4. I Was Hit By A Car 2 Weeks Before The Wedding

As I said in the title, I was hit by a car four days ago, I’m okay, but have lots of bruising and have broken my left leg. I’m now in a wheelchair. I know that both the church and the venue are wheelchair accessible, as another guest is an ambulatory wheelchair user, so she may have to use it throughout the day. I obviously will have to use mine as well, I can’t move onto crutches from another 5 weeks and that’s o...
