My friend has turned into a cheap BRIDEZILLA and is forcing me to pay THOUSANDS for her wedding – I wish I’d never agreed to be her bridesmaid

A bridesmaid has revealed that she regrets agreeing not to be at the wedding because the “bridezilla” is forcing them to pay $2,000 to be involved in her special day.

An anonymous woman has signed up Reddit only to reveal that she wishes she turned down her “good friend” invitation to be a bridesmaid at her wedding, as her boyfriend has turned into a “cheap bride zilla.”

The unnamed user revealed that while her friend was a “good person,” the wedding brought out the worst in her as she took to the social media platform to rant about the “expensive” cost of attending the bridal party.

She took to the thread titled “Wedding Shaming” to question if she had a right to be frustrated with her friend.

“Here to share the story of a wedding I will be attending,” she said.

She added, “I’m a bridesmaid for a good friend of mine. She is definitely a good person, but I see another side of her now.

“She definitely pressured her fiancé to propose when he was still on his bachelor’s degree. It came close to the ultimatum level, but he did it when he graduated.

‘Bride is religious, does things traditionally and waits to live together until they are married. Her parents are also wealthy, and that’s what puts me off about this wedding.’

The friend further commented that if she had known she had to “pay for everything,” she “refused to be a bridesmaid.”

“However, the bride was not transparent about costs,” she said.

The boyfriend revealed that she had to pay $1,000 for the bachelorette party, but accepted.

However, she later found out that she also had to pay for the catering of the bride’s bridal shower and buy her a gift.

“For the wedding day itself, she dropped the bombshell today that she wants a professional makeup artist and hair stylist to do our makeup the day of,” she said, adding that it would be $300.

“I’m on my spending limit and she said if I do my own makeup I should practice and send a photo for approval.”

“The haircut she wants isn’t right for my hair, it’s too short. I sent her a picture of how my hair isn’t long enough to frame my face – and asked if I could make a low bun with bits down in the front.

She replied, “I’ll see if anyone else is okay with that because it will throw off the uniform look”. And we’re not even wearing the same dress.’

She also revealed that she wasn’t allowed to bring a plus one and that it was “BYOB.”

“Had I known she was going to be a lenient bridezilla, I would have politely declined and would have been happy to attend as a guest,” she said before adding that if she had to pay for everything, it would cost her $2,000, saying that she considered dropping out.

People on the social media platform rushed to defend her and condemn the bride-to-be for her behavior.

One person wrote: ‘Back outside. If you paid for the dress, see if you can return it. Be honest and tell the bride why. Keep in mind that they will probably want the bridal party set up, served and cleaned up. Just don’t. You’ll hate yourself later.”

Another user commented, “Unless you’re desperate for friendship, I think you should delete this woman’s number and forget she exists.”

“Back from the wedding, tell the bride you just can’t afford it, but you’d love to come as a guest.” She’ll probably tell you no and then you’ll have the day off to do whatever you want,’ someone else commented.

Someone else said, “I see you care about this friendship and don’t want to make a scene. I think you should just be nice and apologetic and tell your girlfriend you’re sorry, but with the extra cost you just can’t afford it anymore and would love to come and support her as a regular guest.

“Tell her ASAP so she has time to adjust her plans accordingly. If she gets angry at that point, you’ve gone out of your way to be pleasant and maybe it’s not a friendship worth keeping.’

“I don’t call that mild bridezilla – I call it full. I would never agree to a $1000 bachelorette party, nor would I pay for bachelorette party catering, nor would I pay that much for makeup and hair, and no pluses for the bridal party — the cheekiness!” noted one user.

“You don’t have to pay for anything beyond the wedding day basics, you don’t have to pay for her shower catering. Brides like that are downright ridiculous, I would never have asked my party to do that.

“Anything a couple chooses to have (bachelorette party, showers, etc.) outside of the wedding and reception should be on them because they’re extras unless someone offers it.” Your bachelorette party is not meant to be a financial buffer so you can be a princess for six months,” someone else added.
