Every bride desires the ideal wedding day. While there are some aspects of your wedding that you may control, such as the dress, the venue, the catering, and so on. You can never be certain that everything will proceed as planned. This bride, on the other hand, had a plan for making her wedding day go off without a hitch. But she quickly finds that not everyone sees the problem the same way. Continue reading to find out more.
A bride-to-be took to Reddit to raise a burning question: am I being unreasonable? She shared her dilemma on the prominent Reddit site ‘AITAH,’ which stands for Am I The Asshole.A bride-to-be stated on Facebook that she and her fiance distributed a list of wedding rules to the guests and shortly began receiving cancellations. She prefaced her article by noting that before anyone assumed she was ‘bridezilla’ enforcing these regulations against her fiance’s will,
she wanted to make it clear that he had equally contributed to the rules and was joyfully on board with all of them.The couple desired a ‘unpluggled ceremony.’ Unless there was a ‘major’ emergency, guests could not have phones with them during the ceremony or the dinner that followed. While guests understood that no phones were permitted during the ceremony, they found the prohibition on using phones during dinner to be a little onerous.
She stated that some parents who left their children at home protested that they needed phones to check on their children, but she informed them that if she had to make an exception for them, she would have to make an exception for everyone. “Checking in with your kids is not an emergency,” she added. You’ll be notified if something significant occurs.”
In addition, the pair established a stringent color scheme and dress code. People were asked to wear only black, with women required to wear dresses and males required to wear tuxedos. The rule did not have any exceptions. Her aunt, who had lost her husband and had spent time in black attire while grieving, had eventually returned to a more colorful wardrobe and was not an exception. Even when she stated that wearing black clothes made her feel melancholy now.
Her future sister-in-law, who suffers from body dysmorphia, also had concerns with the dress code because she always wore slacks to feel more comfortable in her own skin; no exceptions were granted for her. They ordered the bridesmaid outfits months in advance and instructed their girls to stay in shape, whether that meant eating less or eating more. Her mother was furious about the rules, she added, and informed the bride her wedding was doomed from the start.
Her bridesmaids have also threatened to cancel, and she has had wedding guests cancel at the last minute. Her maid of honor’s daughter was supposed to be their flower girl, but that was no longer the case. The bride requested that the flower girl be left in a hotel with a babysitter during the ceremony, but the maid of honor refused and planned to leave her kid with her mother because the wedding location is a four-hour drive away.
Even with her prelude and warning, folks assumed she and her fiance were being completely unreasonable and were clearly the ‘assholes.’ Many individuals pointed out that, while weddings can be held according to the couple’s preferences, people are not required to follow their rules and have the choice to drop out of their wedding. Overall, it was quite clear on Reddit that the couple was being unreasonable in their expectations.
