She Dropped Out Of Her Friend’s Wedding Because The Bridezilla Was Forcing The Bridesmaids To Wear Themed Dresses And Kept Throwing Tantrums About The Tiniest Of Details
This 29-year-old woman has a friend named Sarah, who is getting married. But, rather than the engagement period being a fun experience, she believes that Sarah has turned into an utter bridezilla. So, the wedding planning period has been extremely chaotic.
According to her, her friend has always had a very strong personality. Then, after getting engaged, Sarah only became more erratic.
First, her friend announced that the wedding would be like an opulent fairy tale, with each bridesmaid getting a lavish ballgown.
“The problem was that the dresses Sarah picked were way over the top and made us look like walking caricatures,” she recalled.
She attempted to talk to Sarah about the dresses, too, and admitted that they were very impractical and uncomfortable.
Instead of hearing out her concerns, though, Sarah would just throw a temper tantrum every time she brought up the topic.
Plus, her friend even accused her of not being supportive and actually threatened to uninvite her from the wedding!
“It was impossible to reason with Sarah when she was in that state,” she said.
And as the wedding planning continued to unfold, things only got worse– with Sarah’s demands increasing in ridiculousness.

She claimed that Sarah changed her mind about the wedding theme various times, which made it simply impossible to keep up with her friend’s vision for the big day. One week, her friend wanted a fairy tale wedding. The next, Sarah set her sights on a tropical luau theme.
Not to mention, her friend would snap at all of the bridesmaids, even about the tiniest of details. That’s why everyone felt like they were walking on eggshells when they were around Sarah, and the whole planning process started to feel more like a chore of appeasing Sarah’s tantrums rather than celebrating love.
Then, one day, Sarah had a total breakdown– because, apparently, the floral arrangements were not the precise shade of pink that her friend had wanted.
After that, Sarah yelled at everyone, from her family to the florist and the wedding planner.
“It was an embarrassing scene that left everyone feeling uncomfortable,” she admitted.
By that point, she also couldn’t bear to think about wearing the ridiculous bridesmaid ball gown that Sarah had picked out. Plus, she didn’t want to be a part of Sarah’s “wedding circus” anymore.
That’s why she decided to just be honest with her friend. She tried to explain how Sarah’s behavior, as well as all of the demands, were just too much for her to handle anymore.
Well, spoiler alert: her friend just would not hear her out. Instead, Sarah just had yet another tantrum, screamed at her for being a “terrible friend,” and even accused her of ruining the wedding!
Then, Sarah actually threatened to end their friendship and claimed that she would never be forgiven if she didn’t support her friend’s big day.
“It hurt me deeply that Sarah was willing to throw away our friendship over a dress,” she explained.
“It was clear that her wedding had become more about her ego and less about celebrating love with her friends and family.”
So, in the end, she ultimately decided to no longer be a bridesmaid at Sarah’s wedding. Yes, she knew that it would wind up causing more drama. But she didn’t want to sacrifice her self-respect just to enable Sarah’s tantrums and unreasonable demands.
Still, she has since been feeling a bit torn about her decision. And now, she’s wondering whether she should have just swallowed her pride and gone along with Sarah’s behavior to avoid conflict.
Have you ever dealt with a bridezilla? Was it fair that she had to put up with Sarah’s chaotic behavior? Did she do the right thing by leaving the bridal party or not? What would you have done?
