When etiquette was a thing, it was taught that you NEVER ask for a gift. Gifts are optional. Your gift is your presence not your present(s).
Sadly those days seem to be long gone, whatever happened to weddings being about celebrating with your friends and relatives instead of trying to put on a major type production.
genuine #comment
Not everyone is like this, but sadly, they (meaning the sane ones) seem to be a minority. I am of the opinion that people should pay for their own weddings, their own honeymoon and if you get 6 toasters, smile and say thank you.
I'm Spanish and this days the wedding invitation usually comes with the bank account number, so you can transfer them money 🤦🏻♀️ I think if you can't afford a fancy wedding, then have a simple one. People don't owe you anything 😂
@@peterbuckley3877 They happen all of the time; they just don’t end up on Reddit or videos like this.
Chance of divorce: 💯
Wow, fancy meeting you here AJ! And yes, you're absolutely right.

@@JimboJones99 that’s why I’ll never be engaged in the first place
HI! I know you from that other channel! Love your videos they are very informative & helpful!
"I know the wedding isn't until December."
Charlotte, "I thought you said it was in the summer. This is confusing."
Everyone in the southern hemisphere 👋
I'm in Canada, but I knew instantly it was probably Aus or something lolll
dry heat or not, December is not summer, no matter how hot it is 😁
@@1BigBenwell… yes it IS. Australia HAS summer in December and colder temperatures in July and they LITERALLY call the time from November - March SUMMER.
@@1BigBen lmao dude... southern hemisphere is the opposite. Spring/summer from oct-march, fall/winter from april-sept. XD are you smarter than a 1st grader? No.

"These women have husbands and I'm single " Felt that. In my soul.
ME too! really like danggg! but I don't want crazzy
For now
@@thomasdoyle9748 Exactly. Would love updates on how many/which of them are still hitched.
Because they're fake until they get married and you don't play that game.
I know but it's the quality of the husband tho. 😂😂For some reason, I don't expect women like these to have standards so they're probably marrying a man just as delusional and entitled as they are.
*These women don't want marriages, they just want weddings.*
THIS. 👏👏👏
Exactly. Never understood it.
@@maryohmaryoh that’s my response as well.. WELL SAID POSTER 🙌🏼
I concur
Fact! I know ppl who had huge weddings, then pitched fits when they had no money because they spent it all on the wedding and ended up divorced pretty quickly. My hubby and I were married at a courthouse 25 years ago and no sign of divorce in sight. The polar opposite, actually.
Charlotte: summer in December? I'm confused...
Southern Hemisphere: Allow me to introduce myself....
I'm confused how she was confused thinking it should be winter all over the entire planet, at the same time. lol
The comment I was looking for, yay! Otherwise wanted to answer this
@@kyliepechler I thought that until a couple months ago...
Lololol - duh - I missed this too 🤦♀️
Australia 👋
When I got asked to be a bridesmaid to my best friends wedding, she told me I can look however I want, I can keep all my piercings in [all 28], have my tattoos on display, and I don't have to dye my hair a different color [at the time it was blue and purple] I absolutely loved that my BFF wanted me exactly as I am, it was heartwarming to say the least. Her wedding colors were very pretty, blush pink, wine and gold. I personally didn't want my hair [blue and purple] to stand out against everything, and be distracting, clashing with the colors in the wedding photos. So I decided myself to dye my hair with crimson red, and it mixed with the blue and purple I already had, and it came out a BEAUTIFUL wine color, and matched with everything perfectly. When she saw it she said "aww, you didn't have to do that!" And I told her, "I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. Your my best friend, and I wanted the attention on you, not my bright, clashing hair lol" the pictures came out stunning, she looked like a bride right out of a magazine, and since my hair matched the colors she picked out, it wasn't distracting, but rather went with everything beautifully. She accepted me fully for who I am, and in turn I made a change just for her, so everything would look perfect for her wedding. [And honestly, I loved the wine hair color and kept it for a while] THAT'S how real friends do it 💯
Love this. The photos must be stunning!
You're a good friend, and that very rare these days 😔
This is awesome ❤ sounds like an amazing friend
Yeah that’s the only logical way to do it in my head. I’m getting married in 2 months and my bridesmaids also asked me if they have to look a certain way. I was like no I asked you for you. They got dresses in the same color but that’s all.
Now you, are a wonderful friend!
I love the story of how my dad proposed. He and Mom were watching tv, just having a normal day.
He looked at her and said, “Do you want to marry me, Sweets?”
She thought it was just a pre-engagement kind of talk and she said, “Of course I do.”
He smiled and left the room. He came back with the ring. She laughed and thought it was so “him.”
They’ve been together 51 years. They go on “dates” to the supermarket and hold hands walking in the park. Enough to make one sick. 😂
When all a person cares about is the engagement, the dress, the photos, whatever, it’s not a good sign.
Reminds me of the story of how my inlaws got "engaged". He just called her to pick out a date for the wedding
Still married 35 years later
This is my dream engagement scenario tbh.
Good for them!
Awweee this is so wholesome! The way he proposed was amazing!
I'd love to share my own story if it's alright
It was Valentine's day, and we were just parked at the side of the road beside a lake because I said it was a pretty area.
He pulled out a ring and I said "I'd be an idiot thinking it's a proposal" (because yk, there's no way i'd expect it you know?) and he responded saying I must be (to put it in better terms, though I always like what he says) Extremely Stupid.
Anyways, I did say yes 🫶🫶
A few years later...
"I wouldn't have married her if I knew she was crazy."
Do you have to be beaten with the red flags to see them?!?! 😱
For some of us (me raising my hand) - yes.
Yes, yes we do...we know how ridiculous and stupid that is, but most of us can't (read as won't) stop ourselves...in fact, some of my friends seem to actually like to have to deal with a toxically crazy woman....🤷🏻♂️
Love that line!!
@@branon6565 Do women like this act this way in all situations or are they just obsessed with getting married? Make it make sense if you can 😂
It happens with guys too. I know girls who date or marry guys they know are assholes and mean and then act surprised when they start being an asshole to her.
When you said "you mean to tell me there are women like this with future husbands and I don't? ... I'm so low maintenance compared to these psychos!" I felt that down to my core. Girl, same.
Same bro
But I don't know that you'd want a partner who'd go for someone with the personality of these brides. Clearly there is something amiss in these partners that they see this behavior and think "yeah, that's reasonable. I see nothing worrisome about marrying this person."
I think we're more on the empath side and this brides clearly are more on the narcissistic.. "opposites" attracts but this kind it's the worst
You have to think of what kind of groom they have... You are better off without that type of man
@@delilahbelle2125 some people (including grooms) genuinely believe that it’s ‘normal’ for women to behave like psychos during wedding planning. They buy that it’s ‘stressful’ and women ‘can’t help’ but be awful.
Of course, many of them end up divorced a year later because the women stay like that after the wedding… but that doesn’t change the fact that they believed at the time that it was ok for the bride to behave badly.
I was married last November. I choose the color for the bridesmaids but they were able to pick whatever style of dress best flattered them. I was shocked when one of my bridesmaids asked if she needed to cover up her tattoos for the wedding. Until I saw these I never knew brides could be so petty! It's a celebration with people who love you, quit trying to change them and instead enjoy the party together!
News flash, Brides. Only MAYBE your mother has waited your whole life for you to get married. It's just not as important to everyone else as you think it is.
I got married 3 weeks after we were engaged. A friend gave me her wedding gown. we ordered a sheet cake from a local supermarket. His sister did the flower arrangements and we had the ceremony right after Sunday services. Our honeymoon was a one night stay at a local bed and breakfast. We just celebrated our 11th anniversary earlier this year.
Congratulations on 11 years.
Wow cool
My hubby and I drove to Reno, got married by a drunk in a wedding chapel and wore overalls. We've been married 30 years. As always its not the trappings but the commitment. Congrats on 11 years
And the end result is still the same as the people who spend an absolute fortune: you're married. Happy wedding anniversary!
I’ve told the man I’m going to marry that we’re going to elope. I have a dress ready that I was suppose to wear to a party but it didn’t end up happening that’s a beautiful gown embroidered with flowers. I care about the marriage not the wedding.
In my early 20’s I was in one of my best friends weddings, the bridesmaids dresses were $300 & they all knew I couldn’t afford anything over $150...so instead of making me feel like sh*t, the bride and all bridesmaid pitched in to cover what I couldn’t afford 😢 still makes me tear up when I think about it.
I love that.💜💜
This makes me feel pride in my fellow women.. If the bride has chosen dresses too expensive for you, that is exactly what they should do. No one should be burdened by a dress they'll probably only wear once.
Those are true friends who care!
In the UK the bride and groom pay for all the wedding party dresses and suits
In England, the bride buys her bridesmaids’ dresses. Seems really entitled to demand women to buy (possibly expensive) dresses to wear once. Maybe not even dresses they like.
I had 3 pregnant women as my bridesmaids and my daughter had just given birth so we dressed my granddaughter in a flowery dress and that's the bouquet she carried down the aisle, one had dreads and another granddaughter dyed her hair blue to match my colors. We had the best wedding ever because everyone I loved was there!!
These stories just reminds me of a cousin’s friend. The friend is single, single like a Pringle, and has a little daughter (she is asexual and aro, but the kid is adopted.). The friend always helped with weddings, being the planner pro bono, and just loved weddings, and was kinda bummed she would never have her own. So my cousin and his friends (mix of guys, gals, non-binary pals, the like) got together and brainstormed an idea; a friendship wedding. Nothing legally binding, just a party of friendship. They asked the friend “hey, we’re thinking about having a party, you wanna come? It’s formal dress, so we can get it for you”, and she was down. Everything was set up, even in a nice church. The day of, the friend was brought to the church in a limo, the others saying “we’ll catch up”. The friend was just… well, in utter shock when her friends revealed the truth behind the party, and she was emotional, happy and crying, and it was actually really sweet. Instead of a preacher, the daughter recited the “vows”, and it was just a huge party. And honestly, I thought this story was bullshit until I was shown pictures.
I love, love, love that you all did that.
@@moyasatterwhite4019 I didn’t do anything, this was my cousin and his mates, but I’m really proud of them, it was a really cute and nice thing to do. As an ace person myself, it’s cool to see the support and allyship my cousin and his pals show for the friend. They even got little “wedding” bands, that they wear on their middle fingers. :)
If only the rest of the world had the heart, acceptance & compassion of your cousin & their friends, the world would be a much better place! This is coming from a middle aged woman who grew up in a conservative, religious home. If I can get it, there’s no excuse for you young ones not to! 💕
I love this idea!!
This is absolutely amazing! 💕 Thank you for sharing this wonderful story!
When my late wife and I got married she made her own dress and the wedding cake, all within a week. We had been together for about 2 years when she said yes and I suggested that we get married on my birthday (because the husband always forgets the anniversary, right?) so we got married with me in a borrowed suit and her in a beautiful hand made wedding dress. We were together for almost 18 years when I lost her to cancer.
I am so sorry for your loss 😇
Seems like you just married for love (and i love the pragmatism with the date^^) then for the wedding ^^
My friend, I can so relate. We had 75 guests, just a best man and maid of honor, an amateur photographer, a dj, and sandwiches and beer. We were married for almost 29 years when I lost him to cancer.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Younger people, you don’t have to have an extravagant wedding to have a good marriage.
Dear Sir, Love never ends. I´m in tears. I´m really sorry for your lost. May God bless you with a long and beautiful life.
William and Barbara, I am so sorry you both had to deal with such extreme loss. My heart hurts for you both.
When my Aunty got married she invited everyone over to her house for her birthday and asked them to dress smart, once everyone was there she took the candles off the cake and put a wedding topper on and said welcome to our wedding!
this is adorable!
And then she asked for a volunteer to be the groom.
That’s super cute!
Smart woman!!
I stan her
The pregnancy ones always get me. When I was a BM for my best friend, we tried dresses on when I was around 5 months and would be 7months at time of the wedding. She and the shop were so considerate and thoughtful while picking out my dress (she had chosen a color and each BM had options for style). I ended up with a beautiful dress that had plenty of room for my belly and I loved it. She even let me were flats I'm the same color as the heels the rest of the party wore. Yes, a wedding is about the bride and groom, but it should also be a memorable and good time for those involved AND invited. I'm so over the "it's my day" mentality.
You know what I like about these videos? The difference my wife on her worst day and these women on their best, is astronomical! In 25 years I have NEVER felt embarrassed about my wife.
When I got married, we were college students with not a lot of money. Friends offered to make our cakes, and do the flowers, my mom sewed me a beautiful dress, my next door neighbor lent me her lovely veil, and my bridesmaids wore blue dresses that they already owned. We paid for the invitations, the venue, the official, gifts for the wedding party members and the friends who donated their time and expertise. It was a wonderful day, everyone had a wonderful time and best of all, we didn't end up with a huge debt on top of our student loans....
Aww that sounds perfect.
That really sounds wonderful. ☺
And beautiful memories of friends and family supporting your union. That's the way it should be. IMO
Well nowadays these kids are so freaking entitled and it so sad edit...not only entitled, but we also supposed to be careful not to "trigger" them with " any trigger words" and dont forget about giving them all participation trophies! Wtf is happening..each generation gets more sissified, but more entitled at the same time.. I was born in 82...Imagine what this generation is gonna look like with kids.... 🤣 😂 😹

My dad is a hairdresser; once he had a woman call 6 months after her appointment demanding a refund for the hairdo he did for her daughters wedding because she didn’t like the photos. She liked it the day he did it. But once she got the photos, she legitimately believed she deserved a refund. He just said no and hung up lol
wtf this is crazy . i don't know how people handle this types of shitty things. refund because some old lady didn't like it !! your dad is a good person just said no .
Good for him!
Dwl....sting!!!!
I love how brides say it’s their *one day* but it’s never just one day. It’s months of preparation and jumping through hoops. They don’t just think it’s their day, they think it’s their day, month, year, and decade
My wife and I, both in our 50s, entered our second marriage. We got married in the presence of her mom and my dad by a judge that was about 6'8" and a sub-terranean voice. It was so cool.
And then we went to our favorite little mom/pop bar and restaurant. We'd ordered appetizers in steam trays and put $500 on the bar. All our friends came. It was well less than $1000 for the whole thing. We discouraged gifts (got a bunch anyway) since by the time you're our age, you have all the appliances and artwork/decorations you can ever need.
It was a blast, and I'm still married to my best friend.
Do NOT cut your dreads off for a wedding. That's ridiculous.
The dreads must be protected.
all hail the dreads
Dreads are really cool looking! I would get them but i would look like trash in them
@@HassanPlayz - I'm with ya. I would look absolutely terrible in dreads. Doesn't mean I can't appreciate them on people that can rock them. I'd also look terrible in a bikini, for the record.
@@SaravanjaSteele be kind to yourself💖💖💖💖💖💖
"Women like this actually have husbands?"
Well, yes, all ex husbands were once husbands.
😂😂😂😂
If they marry those women, it's entirely their fault. They're clearly not hiding their c*ntiness at all 😂 Or maybe they're the same too who knows
@@EmilyDickmesome Either that or these men marry those women just because they provide good sex, which... To me is an awful amount of effort and commitment for such a thing but oh well
Ya but not for long.
Some women get real crazy with their weddings. My sister in law was the same but shes a legit good woman/wife and seeing her like that was surreal.
I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding and initially I was excited but over time I started to regret it more and more. I wasn’t close with the other bridesmaids who were mostly the bride’s family and childhood friends and even though they had my phone number, they chose to communicate in a group chat on fb even though I didn’t have fb anymore. So I was obviously out of the loop and they told the bride I wasn’t participating (she wasn’t in the group chat). The wedding was 3 months away and I was in the process of a major move but the bride decided she wanted to have a serious phone call the night before the move, when I was still packing, and then the next day when I was literally driving the uhaul to my new place over 2 hours away. I told her as soon as I got to my new place I’d call her bc I was using my navigation and needed to pay attention to that during the drive but she took that as me not caring and asked me to leave the bridal party. I felt a little burned at first but it was for the best. I realized I’m not really a wedding person and probably shouldn’t have accepted the role in the first place. We’re actually still friends but not as close
I don't even want to get married, but listening to these stories makes me feel like a better person by just acting like a normal person.
I was demoted from bridesmaid when I got pregnant and then uninvited because the bride and the mother of the bride thought I would steal her thunder if I went into labour. Needless to say, we’re not friends anymore
Same thing happened to me except it was my own sister! I still went as a guest but it was so awkward and uncomfortable. Sadly it was her that missed out on how special I would have worked to make her day special.
@@kateingram2466 That sucks, I’m sorry. But yeah, you’re right, definitely her loss x
@@kateingram2466 wow, if that happens to me, I am no longer going. I don't understand how a sister could do that.
She wasn't a real friend than. I honesty would think that would make a cool story if someone went to labor at my wedding or something like that!
What?! Omgosh is it just me that I would be like PREGO BELLY PICTURES!! I would find a way to take funny pictures with you at my wedding... Omgosh pregnant women are just BEAUTIFUL to me.. Well, I'm renewing my vows next year and if you want to get pregnant, hurry up and I'll have ya! Hehe... ❤️❤️
"Is there anyone more entitled than a bride on her wedding day?"
Often, her mother. :P
Or his :D
True! :)
No, they are allowed to be entitled on there big day, as it is one biggest commitment any one can make to another person. And if they wish to make it perfect in every way then they should be allowed too, some people believe that marriage is for life and a once in a life time experience. so why would they not want it to be perfect. something to remember forever.
@@wendyattwell8946 The first line in my comment about entitled brides is a quote from the video. My statement is that the real entitlement is often from the mothers.
My sister's, I just want to get through it in one piece.
The tattoo one probably took place somewhere in the southern hemisphere where their seasons are opposite ours.
I got engaged this passed January and getting married next October, and I am horrified by the idea that people expect the wedding to be paid for and for people to buy super expensive shit. I can't even fathom.
Just remember: You wouldn't want any of the men marrying these women anyways. There's a reason they make a great fit :)
💯
Agree !!!
Well, we can't actually know if they make a great fit or not
@@tatianasalazar4066 : 😄That'll be a different video. For now, all we can surmise is that they're attracted to torture.
@@Solutions3000 lmao at "attracted to torture" 😄
"Let me get this straight. You want a refund for the pics in case you get divorced?..ok then I want my gift refunded back to me when you do!!!" haha!
Yes indeed! That's so true!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What of the pics were the gift? 😋
"I'm so low maintenance compared to these psychos" Had me rolling lol Hell, it could be the title of my biography, and yet still depressingly single lol
You said, "I can't wait to be a bride." Your dream has come true, my dear. Look at you now. You and Mike just got engaged and it sounds like it was a beautiful night you 2 had. He seems like a great person and I'm glad you've found each other. ❤❤ Love to you both
Honestly, someone’s presence at my wedding was gift enough. It showed they cared enough to be part of our special day. If they brought a gift, we were certainly thankful, but it was not expected.
Your spouse is a very lucky person.
I agree with you to a point. I would never attend a wedding without bringing a gift. The expense of the gift depends a lot on how close I am to the couple, but I think a gift is mandatory. Only if you are destitute should you not bring a gift! Having said that, the bride, or the groom, should never demand a gift, or set a minimum price for gifts. That’s rude. The bridal gift registry is the best, because you can buy them something they want. But you don’t have to go by the registry. A lot of times, I think cash is a great gift, because they can always use cash! In the past, couples getting married were usually just starting out, and needed everything for their home. But a lot of times today, people are getting married later, and have already been living on their own. So they already have a toaster and a coffee maker, and an iron and sheets and towels and may even have China and flatware etc. They may even have 2 sets of everything if they both were living on their own. The last thing they need is another toaster!
@@lisaspikes4291 I was only speaking for myself and my own wedding. I would take or send a gift to someone else’s wedding. I was just happy people were there. I didn’t even keep track if everyone brought a gift. I sent thank you notes to those who did.
This was mine and my husbands attitude, we specifically said we just wanted our friends and family to be there and have fun. Hell, my husbands nephews turned up in jeans and t-shirts it was so relaxed. It was fab, everyone said they had a great time and we're still married 14yrs later.
We had lived together for over 2 years before we got married and we wrote on the invites no gifts please your attendance is our gift. We had a great time and we still had a couple of people give us money. Always grateful for cash but that was not what we intended either.
One of my best friends is trans and I asked him if he would feel more comfortable on my side as a "bridesmaid" or my fiance's as a groomsmen and he said he wanted to be on my side and he said he would wear a dress if I needed him too and I told him there's no way I would make him wear a dress if he didn't want to. I just wanted him the same color as the bridesmaids Iand that I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable or insecure in their outfits and I was giving people free reign on if they wanted to wear a dress and if so what style as long as they were all in the same color. and he got pretty emotional and said that his older sister more or less kicked him out of her wedding because he couldn't wear the dress she picked out because he had a breakdown when he put it on and obviously that rly hurt him. I can't imagine putting an aesthetic or theme before the feelings of your bridesmaids or groomsmen. Especially since they're supposed to be the people you care about most in your life.
Is your friend currently a female or a male?
He's ftm
Good for you! There's no law that says you have to have matchy-matchy attendants, whether it be gender or outfits. That's up to the wedding couple. If you want your friend to stand beside you and just be somewhat color-coordinated, and he feels comfortable with that, go for it. My best friend is a guy, and he will be MY best man (other than the groom, of course).
Your story made me tear up a little! (Non-binary here) It is horrible that his sister did that to him and it is so wonderful how you interact with him! (Chosen family rules and it seems to me, very much, that you and your friend are each others' family.) I don't know you or your friend but this made me so happy for both of you! Thank you so very much for sharing this!
😥😥touching story💖
Is this how brides really are about gifts? I'm from India and this is a cultural shock tbh. Here we accept whatever the guests choose to gift. And there's no option to register gifts. Generally, Indian weddings are really big and extra with 500 guests on average. And no one cares about gift. It's only after the wedding is over, we open the gifts and sometimes we give way similar gifts to other close friends or family as well.
I know and understand brides getting fussy about her own outfits or stuff, but obsessing about wedding party outfits or hair color, it's weird
Same in the Philippines. Registries aren't a thing here! Only gifts! And a money dance or a ritual or voluntary donation. 😂
I traveled to India for a friend's wedding and she insisted NO GIFTS. I imagine she didn't want to schlep them all back to the US (she has dual citizenship, born in India but currently lives in the US, went back to her hometown to get married)
Regarding the hair color ones (only in the case of the bridesmaid - the one about the guest was f***ing ridiculous lol), I actually had this requested of me as a bridesmaid from my bride, and I didn't mind complying at all. Her and her fiance's family are East Asian and pretty conservative. She's also a super Type A Virgo lol. She never demanded it of me, but she gently requested if I would be willing to keep my hair my natural color rather than having my signature seaweed green color that I'd had for the past 6 years.
It was also less about the day itself, and more about the pictures that would live on forever - especially the ones that would be shared through her entire family, including members who lived overseas and who were SUPER traditional. Maybe the difference was in the way she asked and the fact that she is an INCREDIBLE friend to me of 15 years, but it would've hurt me more to show up with green hair knowing how upset it would've made her, so it was easy for me to do that for her.
I also could clearly imagine her family berating her about how ugly the pictures were because of me - which doesn't bother me at all, but I knew it would wear down on her spirit after everything she had already been through with the wedding.
Not gonna lie though, I REALLY missed the green and would google people with green hair every few days just to longingly look at them and live vicariously through them in anticipation for the day I would finally be able to dye it again. XD But it was definitely worth it.
The wedding that is in Summer could be from a country like Australia. Where if you're south of the equator Summer is in December.
Correct. And Aussie brides tend to be the worst bridezillas on the planet too.
You are probably right. Thank you. I didn't thought of that
Do they celebrate (if they do at all) Christmas in the middle of the Summer. I see pictures in my head "Santa with kangaroos instead of reindeers"
@@vivienleigh4640 Yes, they do, and with big parties on the beach!
Correct, but also, there are more countries in the southern hemisphere than Australia... Iive in one...
These women need to realize that having a wedding with guests means you are HOSTING guests. You are to be a good a considerate host to your guests. It's not just your day.
True and that is why gifts are called gifts. They are something that you give. The value of which only concerns the giver. lol
Well…it still IS just their day. And often they are PAYING for it. Obviously these brides in these particular posts are extreme and are certainly more entitled than they ever deserve to be. However, as a future bride (who paid for her own dress and is funding her own wedding with her fiancé), I know its not unreasonable to have SOME expectations, but demanding gifts (expensive or otherwise) is just rude and tacky.
This is what happens when they refuse to teach basic shit at school. Parebts dont have time to train their offspring in etiquette
When I got married, my matron of honor was going to be 7 months pregnant, so I changed the dresses to something she would look great in. The other girls were all for it too. What good is a wedding that does not make everyone happy to be there.
My husband and I got married in my apartment backyard, with my best friend and his best friend as our witnesses, and another friend to officiate the wedding. I wore a simple floral dress, and he wore his Air Force blues. In Alaska! 😊
We’ve been married for 20 years. Through cancer, deployments, babies, surgeries, and moves around the world… we’ve made it.
And - We have 4 kids, two of them are now are adults with relationships of their own.
Weddings are what you make of them. Relationship are what you make of them.
Charlotte does not have a husband because she spends all this time entertaining us.
Thank you, Potato Queen.
Truuue
Charlotte doesn't need a husband. She's got this! (note: There is huge difference between wanting and needing a significant other) :-)
The Potato Queen needs more time to put together her Mr. Potato Head.
IT would be Dang egoist of us to keep her away from this
@@willverschneider1102 she doesn't need a Mr. Potato Head.
As a wedding photographer, asking for a refund if they get a divorce is beyond hysterical. 😂
Inr. 😂
Dude I was divorced before I even got the actual wedding album put together. I had the proofs and it’s totally on me that I hadn’t sent the ones in that I wanted for the album (my dad got sick rt after my wedding first year was pretty rough) so with that said I didn’t even get all that I paid $2,000 for (back in 2004) and I still would NEVER ask for a refund. My family said I could still get the book done just with family pics and I’m like yeah they will be so fun to look at me in the dress from a failed marriage ah no thanks. Point is photographer did their job it’s not up to them to have to refund shit if you can’t make your marriage work. Idk where this new trend came from but that is just ridiculous to me….
About the sibling story. I have a fiance. We've been together for more than 4 years. We live in different countries so getting married is kinda necessary if we want to live together (visa etc.). My sister has been with her now husband for more than 15 years. My fiance and I wanted to get married last summer, but my sister announced she will get married in August. Naturally, I postponed my plans to get married to my fiance because having two family weddings at short notice is inconsiderate to the guests who will have to spend a lot of money to attend (which none of us has). I would've gotten married in summer as well since other seasons are hectic for adults and children (school, work), and traveling abroad for foreign guests would be easier in summer. We, out of practicality postponed the wedding until next year. So, yeah, the bride-to-be (sister) is not unreasonable for having concerns over the brother's wedding. Also, when you are a sibling there are some unwritten rules about the order of things, right? The brother and his new fiance are obviously trying to upstage them since they knew her wedding was supposed to happen before, there's no doubt about it. Something is stinky here.
Uh, while I do share some concerns about how fast the brother is moving...I don't think the bride is really concerned about the family when she talks about having a "whole year." You chose to wait until the next year out of consideration and expense. She's trying to hog the whole year. As for sibling order, worrying about that doesn't do anything good for familial harmony, else I'd still be waiting for 2 of my siblings to get married.
As for your situation, if either you or your fiancé is trying to get to the US, it is easier on a fiancé visa than after you get married. I know of multiple couples who have been stuck living in different countries because one lived in the US. One bride was stuck in her home country basically being a single mom for a couple of years while he could only come visit occasionally. The couple who used the fiancé visa only had to wait about 5 months to be together.
My BFFFF wanted me to schedule my wedding around when she MIGHT be pregnant. I laughed and said I'd wheel her down the aisle in a wheelchair if necessary but that's not how I'm deciding my wedding date. She didn't get pregnant until 5 months AFTER my wedding.
“Your money issues aren’t my problem”
If only the brides themselves could realize that
“Don’t come to my wedding if you’re pregnant.” “What a relief, thank you so much.” ~blocks her toxic ass~
One of my good friends just got engaged. The drama started when she messaged me Facebook and told me, not asked, that I was going to be a bridesmaid. The message literally read, you're being a bridesmaid. Now, I'm 6 months pregnant and she knew I was pregnant when this started. I told her I wasn't sure if I could. I'm due in late April and the wedding is in July. I told her I couldn't commit to anything because I wasn't sure how I would react to the rest of the pregnancy, labor and delivery, if I would be okay, if the baby will be okay, etc. Her response was well, you're still coming right I EXPECT you to be there. Excuse me? I called her and had a long heated talk with her. Since she never talks on the phone not on speaker, her fiance heard everything. I heard him ask her if she was serious before he took the phone and said, she meant we hope you can come we would love to have you there but completely understand if you can't. Now, she's asked me to be part of her blue crew and a candle lighter. Everything she asks me about something she refers to it as someone who doesn't WANT to be part of the wedding. I told her that it's not I don't want to it's that you're having a wedding less than 3 months after I'm giving birth and physically cannot do it.
When my sister got married, she sewed each of us bridesmaids dresses (the wedding was in the woods and the best actual fancy nice camping wedding reception)
For my best friend's wedding, she wanted me in a dress that cost $90. Perfectly reasonable. However, my husband and I were extremely poor at the time, and were traveling out of state to get there (in our car that ended up breaking down on the way). My amazing friend covered the dress for me very graciously so I could be in her wedding. I think for their 7 year anniversary I'm going to send her $90 and a thank you.
The dresses I want are $550 and I’m offering to pay for the girls who can’t afford it. It was hard to find something they all liked and didn’t look cheap.
@@PotionsMaster007 Tbh for that price tag, you should be covering all of the dresses. It’s your wedding, not theirs. There are gorgeous dresses for a cheaper price tag.
@@dalilam5920 not in Australia, lol. Our exchange rate and import tax makes everything cost double. Plus the ones who can afford it work full time Jobs making 60-80k. It was the agreement I made on an individual basis, those who can and want to pay I’m ok with.
@@PotionsMaster007 don’t be ridiculous.
I live in Australia, too, and I know full well that plenty of nice dresses cost far less than $550!
@@dmf1301 nice for you may not be nice for me. Like I said, it was hard to find something they all agreed on. One wanted pants so I had to go custom so that she wouldn’t stand out. It’s not that easy. So please be kind.
"I know it's in December-"
"I thought you said it's in the summer?"
Welcome to the southern hemisphere lol
I didn't even think about that, true lol
Rest of world must think it odd when Australia burns in the winter every year lol
Yeah I was going to comment that they're probably in Australia.
Then there's Malaysia, my country, where it's Summer ALL YEAR LONG.
@@izumiruki that too.
For bridesmaid dresses I went to a website that has 100s of different styles but all in the same colors. That way each bridesmaid can have the sleeves they like, low or high neck, tight or loose fit, etc. One of my sisters even had a jumpsuit! And everything looked great 😊
That's typically been the case, 3/4 of my bridesmaid endeavors.
I always love when Charlotte does the “It’s my day!!!!” impression 🤣🤣
“You are already being gross, might as well be honest.” Words to live by.
“I AM NOT MARRYING HIM FOR THE BENEFITS… but we wanted to get married quick so I can get the benefits”
Wait, what? I am confusion.
"im marrying him for the benefits, but when you say it out loud it makes me sound bad!"
@@touyatodoroki7935 He proposed in such a cute and unique way. She's one of the kids who bullied other kids because they liked different, cooler things. I wished her boyfriend would've just broken up with her. If she can't respect him proposing in front of the plane I don't think she respects his job at all.
what that would logically mean is that they already wanted to get married regardless of any benefits, but because there are benefits attached, they think its better to do it sooner. considering the tone of her message she probably just doesnt want to look bad.
Frankly, if I were American, I'd be excited about getting benefits with my marriage too.
There are actually dates effecting military personnel and the type of housing they get. She was most likely referring to getting family housing. They have to get married before the next time he has to report his marriage status, or else they will be married but unable to live on the military base together.
The December Summer wedding sounds like it would have been here in Australia, our seasons are opposite to Canada/US.
Asking someone to wear a long sleeve dress or tattoo makeup in summer is unbelievable, the summers are SWELTERING here and any makeup would melt off so quick 🤣🤣🤣
My mom remarried back in October and I was her MOH, and I joked that I would show up to the wedding in sweats and a tank top, and she was 100% chill with that. I did not, in fact, show up in sweats and a tank top. I found a nice navy blue lace dress that conveniently ended up going well with her beaded/embroidered wedding dress.
With these Bridezillas asking for a $1000 dollars wedding gifts, am I the only person wondering how much they spent on gifts for their friends weddings? 🤔🤔😂
Lol 😂 sameee
east answer for "gifts must be over $$$" (other than "no"):
"priceless" personal art, you can even put a price tag on it
my friend who got married two years ago just asked for money for a honeymoon ACTIVITY fund. not the hotels or anything just ziplining and wine tasting. i spent 80 dollars which was probably the largest tier on their little registry LOL. it was honestly the best registry i've ever taken part of. i'd be over the moon if someone got me an airfryer or a set of bbq utensils. these people want their guests to pay for everything. YIKES.
@@erinb6425 and to add up to this idea, my friends that did the same, after they returned from the honeymoon, they send me the photo of them doing the activity i paid and wrote a note how was the experience to them. So sweet. The did it for everyone.
@@Camilla-cb4kl that's actually adorable! I would definitely pay for honeymoon activities.
A couple of years after high school a bunch of us got invited to a classmates wedding. The invitation made it clear she expected to be volunteert labor fpr her hundreds of wedding guests - serving food, setting up, etc. We all just laughed and not a single one of us attended
Well done!!!
Good that's what they deserve
That's nutz.
Charlotte the saying "you can't fix stupid" applies.
For summer to be in December the wedding would have to be in Australia or Brazil. A few other countries have summer in December as well. Anyway love your content! Keep up the great work and congratulations on ONE MILLION SUBS!! I'm happy for you!
*Most of these women on here don’t sound mature enough to be dating, much less getting married!*
Pretty sure that's why the men like them. A simple mind is easier to control and manipulate. That's why it's so easy to order kids around. Brush your teeth. Go to bed. Etc. Their brain haven't fully developed yet. As they get older the less easy it gets and they start to ignore you if you don't teach them your voice is the law. The kids I took care of as a teenager still listens to me today. Some of them call me mom. It started as a way to piss off their own mom but it stuck. Remember I had to scold one of them because he was acting like an a-hole. He is twice as big as me, could break me in two easily, yet when I scolded him he cowered in fear. He was 22 I think. Everyone that was there went dead silent when I started scolding him.
@@rowenkylee5627 I’m pretty sure the brides are the controlling ones not the grooms
men are generally not mature enough either, so it's not a shock
Agreed
I was called “bridezilla” once…by someone who I’d quietly pulled aside after she commandeered my wedding ring shopping trip into an All About Her inquiry into a gold necklace she didn’t even buy. The jewelry store clerk was very visibly uncomfortable and kept giving me apologetic looks while this “friend” kept interrupting me to ask about literally anything other than why we were there (to pick out my fiancé’s wedding ring). After I (privately) told her this was NOT OKAY and that we won’t be able to go shopping together if this is how she’s going to behave, she went and LITERALLY CRIED to my fiancé that I was being “a total bridezilla”. I’m not sure what upset me more - her lies or the fact that he remotely believed her and talked to me about it. Eh, whatever. Engagement was called off anyways 😅
Edit to add: She’d been crushing on him since high school and threw a FIT when we started dating, let alone got engaged. In hindsight idk why I brought her with…I’m owning up to my own idiocy lol
Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
Damn 😯😯😯
Really sounds like you side stepped a shit hole at the last minute 😯!
Hope you're doing great now 🌼
Sounds like you dodged a bullet angel.... She would have been a constant fixture in your marriage, and why did he even believe her? His loss not yours... Love to you 💕💕💕
@Sergio Bicerra Same question. Did they end up together?
@@meeprific ... Literally what I was going to type 😂
You are doing a service to humanity educating people with these videos!!
Lol. Summer in December... When people forget the Southern Hemisphere exists it tickles.
I wanted my teenage brother to be a part of my wedding, but I also knew he was super-self-conscious and hated fuss and getting dressed up. So I told him, you just wear whatever you like and don't let mum hector you into a suit. He wore a hoodie and jeans, and I was 100% fine with that, because I love him and the last thing I want is to traumatize someone I love.
Edited to add for clarity: of course my brother will wear a suit if it's asked or required of him. But this was MY wedding day, and I wanted him to be as comfortable as it's possible for someone with severe anxiety and depression to be.
Exactly.
@YogiLie erm... if the kids doesn't feel right if he is wearing that why force him. And no, we are raising a considerate generation that values consent so all good.
You sound awesome.
@YogiLie I mean we were screwed either way because your generation ruined the world climate, economy, social prosperity, environment, and standards for literally everything. But considering how you responded I can immediately tell you were a bridezilla(if your husband even stayed to deal with your bullshit or if you even managed to get someone) and are a standard everyday Karen who lacks basic understanding , compassion, sympathy, and spacial awareness for other people
@wildthornrose I don't even know you and I love you!
My wife and I ran away from home. Got a quickie wedding in a rent-a-chapel. No guests, no friends, no family. We had a reception later that evening with family members but that's it. Been married now 32 years.
We also didn’t spend much. And we’ve been together 40 years and married 39 years.
Did the same.
When my younger sister got married, she asked me to grow my hair out so it would be long for pics and asked that my bf at the time shave his beard off. His beard was pretty long and we honestly thought that was asking a bit much but obliged anyway as she's my favourite sister. After listening to these stories, no, she was not a bridezilla or asking for much at all lol.
I laughed at how she said it was confusing when the woman said it was Summer in December. Here in the Southern Hemisphere, Summer *starts* in December, which is why the stereotypical Aussie Christmas is on the beach since it’s hot here 🤣
The type of men who would marry these type of woman, are saving the rest of us from getting stuck with them.
Good point
You gotta be a very special type of man to marry one of those people, and not a man who wants a healthy relationship with mutual concern for the other's wellbeing....
those poor poor souls
The woman getting married in December (in Summer) more than likely lives in Australia or NZ where it’s like 1000 degrees. You couldn’t pay me enough to wear a jacket.
Yup, when I figured out it was a Southern Hemisphere summer I totally understood the guest's concern. It gets way too hot down here to be wearing jackets or long sleeves.
If that's what you think the Southern Hemisphere is like, you should travel more.
My friend, wearing a jacket in summer down here should be a crime lol
You do know that Australia and New Zealand are teo seperate places with entirely different weather, right.....?
My whole body feels like they are on fire and this entitled swine have the audacity to tell someone to wear a jacket. Imagine them being in perth oh boi
I love Canadians, still polite even when you're mad😂
Charlotte- December in the Southern Hemisphere is Summer.
Just a quick note: December is the summer for the Southern Hemisphere.
Yeah! But most people seems to not know about it! We're used to it!
Yeh aus has summer is December 😂 so when she said it and was confused I was like ummm it makes perfect sense to me 😂
Get this guy to Harvard
prolly was australia. came here to say that
@@freckleKaren Hmm there are other English speaking countries in the S. Hemisphere ...as well.
When i got married way back in 2000, i paid for my MOH and bridesmaids dresses and shoes , as a gift to all my girls i paid for the jewelry they wore ,and because we were already living together we put on the invitation no gifts just the company of our friends and family.
I really had a great wedding and all my girls had tattoos dyed hair just like me.
I could never be as mean as these brides

The bride treating her wedding like a non-profit fundraiser! 😂😂
Whenever someone says "don't bother texting bc they agree" it's always smart to text and ask anyway
I am always surprised that those people have friends at all.
They may not have any friends AFTER this.
Yeah they got “friends” not friends if you know what I mean 😜
Right.
Mina, Ikr?! Honestly, how they are not shredded in a huge ad in the city classified section, I cannot understand.
I’m surprised they even got a husband to have a wedding in the first place.
My sister is having a super proper wedding and all she asked of me was to let her pick what shade of pink my hair is and what gauges I’ll wear.
All the girls get to wear whatever style dress, whatever shoes, whatever hair, and everything as long as it fits the general colors.
Bachelorette party? Laser tag against the groomsmen then bar hopping.
Wedding food? Brick oven pizza.
The matching shades of pink make sense. Sounds like a really fun wedding.
You. I like you. Laser tag appeals to my nutty self as well, and it’ll be great memories.
This sounds like an awesome wedding!
I don't normally do weddings, but I would attend this one.
See this is an excellent idea
The thing about the brother and sister thing is almost literally what happened with my cousins but the pandemic didn't have anything to do with it. Some people are ready faster than others and some people take everything other people do personally.
Sometimes you have to ask yourself if being upset about something is worth it.
"we need a refund should we ever get divorced.".
Imagine getting married, but ALSO, preparing for the divorce even before u say 'I DO'.... SO SAD.
My mum has bugged me non stop about my hair and tattoos at my sisters wedding. Even trying to get my friends to tell me to change my whole look. Some people have completely missed the point of a wedding being about love 😅
my mum too! but for my dress and shoes. the bride (my sister) was fine with my choice but my mum wasnt...
To be fair it depends. You shouldnt be an obvious distraction. I'm thinking extreme goth 2 feet high spikey bright red hair. Etc. Some people are extreme with expressing themselves which is great for them but people like that can be inconsiderate towards other.
Nothing wrong with toning it down for a few hours so the focus isnt on you....
Do you have a dick tatoo on your arm or something vulgar?...what's hard about putting on a long sleeve shirt or dress...
Two sides to everything. They could let you be like how you want for a few hour or you can conform like how they want for a few hours. Or just dont go... either which way someone will be unhappy I guess.
Agreed - my sister was in my wedding party (years ago!) and has some tattoos - it didn’t even cross my mind! Like, they’re tattoos! Get over it! 🙄
And my husband thinks I'm high maintenance because I have more than one type of lotion.
Next time he says anything, make him sit down & watch this video!!

Luckily I have a very patient and loving fiance
🤣😂😅😆😁
So glad I had the idea of getting married in a mall across from where we lived! Free! Dresses in our finest already had clothes. My husband's mom married us. Because we did this in front on Burlington's front doors in the mall they donated two three price toddlers suits and shoes for our boys! We had friends to help with the ceremony and just sparkling apple juice, clear plastic cups and a cake all from the bakery in the Carrs/Safeway at the end of the mall!❤ it went great and the only things that went wrong with this after was the boys lost parts of their clothes sets and I never got our pictures from the friend that took them. Her life went to crap shortly after it all and it took her out of our life. Sadly her family won't help us find them in her old stuff either. We have none of the clothes now either. We got married 11 years ago and have had to move several times so...yeah. stuff goes.😅 we never needed ANY of this over glorified crap! It is just another money sucking industry and causes so many toxic or negative emotions in people
I can’t believe she didn’t thin k about the aussies for summer 😆🤣
I don't understand some people, truly. I thought the entire point of a wedding was to share the event with others you care about, otherwise why bother with a wedding at all when you could just hire out actors to play the part of adoring people?
Thanks for the lovely dose of laughs, Charlotte. I'm loving your content.
You are absolutely right!!! For those bridezillas everyone has to 'play' a 'part'. You really pointed out their worldview. And 'hired actors'...I love your comment ('liked' it off course)
That is the entire point that my friends adore me ( and not him ) on my Wedding day, exerpt from by best friends ex wife while planning her ( not their ) Wedding.
Just think that they planning "perfect" wedding only to get divorced 2 years later.
Coz if you hire actors then you can't demand that they "gift" you a small fortune to be at the wedding.
@@orladarcy2924 No, but you can, apparently, still request gifts from people who you didn't invite to the wedding!
My wedding gifts included, an Iron, a Vase, a Casserole dish, Cutlery, an Electric Knife, a toaster, and a group present of a dresser. This was 38 yrs ago, you got what you got and you were happy you got something. Times have changed, for the worst.
That sounds like what my mom got, but she still uses most of the kitchen stuff she got 40 years later, so the gifts lasted.
Yer but then people use to end of with five blenders or $5 coupon. Things are better now.
And the entitlement frenzy is speeding up. I fear for our society.
I eloped, so we didn’t get many gifts: a coffee maker, four crockpots, a Sears gift card, a Yankee candle, and a few other smallish items. But the most precious gift was from my mother; a small box with three used VHS tapes. Those movies were “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” “Monty Python’s Life of Brian” and “Love at First Bite.”
These weren’t just any videos. The MP videos my mom and I used to watch when I was home and without a date on a Friday night. But when I was nursing a broken heart, my mom would get me chocolate marshmallow ice cream and put “Love at First Bite” in to watch together. She gave us those three videos because we “didn’t need them anymore, but someday [our] kids will.” Mom lost her battle with breast cancer eight months later. I still have the videos.
Most sound like decent gifts, but I hope you were looking for a dresser. Not sure what I would do with a suprise dresser. I guess sell of some other furniture to make space for it.
The bridesmaid high heals wedding story- Four inch heals walst 33 weeks pregnant is extremely dangerous. It offsets the balance nessisary for the high heals- and this is without the bridesmaid not being able to balance on heals. If she falls, a twisted ankle might be the least of our worries.
I was wondering about that. I've never been pregnant, but I thought it sounded terribly dangerous.
My neighbor is in a wheelchair & her friend asked her to be a bridesmaid. The bride decided to have a water wedding (sounds odd right?). Everyone would be dressed as a navy theme and actually enter the water at the end (her husband was in the navy). She asked the bridesmaid in a wheelchair if she’d be willing to not use her wheelchair for one day so that her wedding would be special but seeing how she is paralyzed from the waist down she kindly declined saying she’d drown. The brides husband called her saying she (w/c friend) was being very selfish if she couldn’t put her disability aside for their wedding. W/C friend ultimately declined the bridesmaid invite. She is still hurt by their request which was 12 years ago. Btw, she’s in a w/c because when she was 17, the bride and another teen caused it unintentionally. There was an atv accident. She’s never had any remorse for the accident or ever even acted sad over it.
“My bridesmaid can’t afford the dress I picked out, what do I do?!!”
Uhm. Buy the dress. You wanted it. It’s YOUR DAY. I never understood that. Just like how these women are getting married and I’m single. 🤣
Be happy you're single. I've yet to meet a man worth having.
Me too! I don't get it... I guess kind, caring ladies aren't what guys are looking for!
I'm guessing this is an American thing? I've been both a bridesmaid and a bride and I wasn't asked to pay for my dress, nor did I think my bridesmaids would pay for theirs.
Guessing you got standards!! :D
Or offer to pay the difference if she can only spend 150. That would just be 80.
One of my old "friends" lead me to believe that I would be a bridesmaid at her wedding. I wasn't able to attend her engagement party because I couldn't get off work without a 2-week notice. I found out that she asked people to be bridesmaids at that party, but she didn't ask me because she assumed I wouldn't be able to get off of work to do all that is "required" in order to be her bridesmaid. I was hurt but didn't say anything because it's ultimately not my decision. Time goes on and someone backs out as a bridesmaid leading her to ask me. She sent an incredibly phoney message about her being worried I wouldn't be able to get off work and I explained that as long as I requested the day off in time there would be no issues. She then sent me the list of "requirements." If you couldn't attend any of the activities she planned out, you were OUT of the bridal party. If you couldn't get your dress by a certain date, OUT. If you did anything that wasn't approved, you were gone. It was demanding and mildly aggressive. Now, since she gave me such short notice of the list, there were some activities that I wouldn't be able to attend and I wouldn't be able to get the dress that quickly as I am part-time minimum wage and would have to wait for my paycheck. I tried to gently explain that I couldn't just call off work. My job was strict about that and I tried to let her know from the beginning so it wouldn’t be mistaken as me not wanting to participate. Long story short, I opted out of the bridal party and almost called it quits on the friendship because she turned into such a dick. I ended up trying to maintain the friendship and attended her event. I recently cut her out of my life for something way more significant and it's been great.
👍👍👍👍👍
Good for you! When so-called friends start getting too controlling...that's a good time to say "Adios".
This sounds so much like a friend of mine too, who was supposedly my best friend (since 6th grade) but told me she picked someone else for her Maid of Honor because she was concerned I wasn't girly enough to "perform the duties necessary to be a successful Maid of Honor." Her fiancé ended up calling the wedding off before they got too far into planning, and knowing her, he dodged a bullet.
Toxic people have a way of removing themselves from our lives. I'm glad you're happier now 😊
I have been in eight weddings: 5 as a maid of honor, one as a flower girl, an 2 as a bridesmaid. If I could go back, I would tell them all thanks for asking but no thanks. :)
Exactly my thoughts!!! God what have I done wrong ? Even these ladies can get married and I can’t find a husband ???? Not fair !!!
“This is my daayyy”
And this is my boundary. Either you stop expecting unreasonable shit from me on the basis of your entitlement or I’m not coming.
I remember when I got married, I wanted my bridesmaids to wear red and recommended a shorter dress since photos were outdoor in summer. They all happened to pick the same dress, but I was so confused when they asked me about how I wanted them to do their hair, makeup, accessories, etc. I just told em to do what made them comfortable, and now I see why that was probably unusual.
Also, people need to stop begging photographers to work for free or cheap. Getting professional photos is a vastly greater quality if you can get a package. One of the things I'm so glad we were able to get - our photographer was so great. He dang well dove in front of me when he thought my husband was gonna see me before the ceremony XD
A friend of the family gave us our photos as their wedding gift. They are retired photographers, so I asked if they knew anyone who was still doing it that they recomended. They said they would do it and then wouldn't let me pay them. Then they also kind of served as bouncers that I had anticipated needing 😆. I was blown away by the generosity of so many people.
People try to get hair and make-up (and wedding soloists) for cheap, too. I don't work on brides anymore. If I do, I bring a team. I will gladly do bridesmaids or mothers of the bride. Brides need their own person. Or at least one persoin from a team. The expectations are SO high. Some cannot be pleased. I require a trial appointment and contract IF I decide to do a bride.
@@cynthiawilkins3149 Lots of peopls don't charge people they love. That's how it's done. No one should ever ASK for free or discounted work. It's totally different of soneone offers.
Sounds like a great chill wedding
And an awesome photographer 😄
Maybe it is just me but where I am from most photographers are self taught. I think there are five or six wedding photographers from my church. I am sure they are great but none of them have formal training. All have training for different careers. One in my opinion is in conflict as pastor of the church.
I once helped my friend with SO MANY details to make her wedding special, that she never even asked me to be in her wedding. All of her bridesmaids had backed out because they were having some kind of falling out with her and not helping her plan the big day. Then, a month before the ceremony, the bride had said she really didn’t want me in the wedding and was trying to spare my feelings because all her other bridesmaids were more attractive than I was. And yet, in the end, she had a few bridesmaids up at the alter with the her who hated her and her wedding photos were just sad. I was spared from being in a miserable wedding!!!! Yay!
That’s so terrible :( I feel so sad for you after all the help you offered her, but better soon than later you noticed she was an awful person so you didn’t waste no more time with her.
You were the one to prove yourself a real friend by actually helping. Did you ever consider writing your experience in full and posting it on Reddit?
You wrote devil wrong
Oh my, I hope you're not friends with her anymore. She sounds horrid.
She sounds like a little freak tbh 🤮
My wedding was ace - people were told they could dress however they wanted and we didn’t want gifts - we had no ‘speeches’ except my other half and me and no ‘first dance’ bollocks. We got married in the evening and just partied the night away - joyous 😁
I was very involved with my besties wedding planning. I wound up pregnant and was 7 months along at the time of her wedding. I had a custom dress made and stood beside her as a bridesmaid! Still best friends to this day! The wedding was in 1994!
