If I ever get married I want the dress code to be "outdress me" because I think it would be hilarious and wonderful to see my family and friends try to guess just how lavish I will be dressed and go one step further. Prizes will be awarded for the best outfit.
@@Atlas_4rt I had briefly considered wearing black and asking everyone to wear white. Glad things did not pan out with that guy. Black would have been very appropriate though.
It is totally a budget decision. If you don't want your money to go towards photos, go ahead and get friends and family to do it for free (while being nice to them 🥰). That is totally legit. Just don't ream professional photographers because they have prices that you don't want to pay. It's the free market, baby! And I don't understand how being a Karen about it is going to persuade anyone to change their rates. I wouldn't change them for some rude person. Karens can sometimes bully people in stores to do what they want just to get rid of them, but a contracted service person can just say or text "no", hang up, or block them.
That’s pretty much what Hubby and I did 30 years ago. I allowed my guests to take as many photos as they wanted andnthey gave me the negatives afterwards. My brother and cousin both videoed the wedding and reception and mum edited those two tapes to make a lovely video for us. Worked perfectly, and our guests loved the idea that their photos would end up in our wedding album.
At my wedding we ordered extra food to be able to feed the photographer, DJ, and his assistants. I was actually shocked that they were surprised to be getting fed because apparently most couples don’t feed them at the weddings they work at 🤯
I suppose people just forget really. They count the guests and that's it. Honestly i don't think i would remember either, but i would certainly offer them something and a seat at a table once they were there and i saw them as actual people at the party!
@@neliaferreira9983 unfortunately they don’t forget, they refuse to pay to feed us, often finding it an absurd that we asked for food in the first place. I’m a MUA and while I don’t do brides, my MUA friends hire me to do the bridesmaids and we usually spend the whole day with snacks even though their contract demands food (bridezillas think finger sandwiches enough for half the team are enough - and most is eaten by bridesmaids). Photographers also demand food on contract in my country, and I’ve heard stories of them being forced to eat different, cheaper foods in the kitchen - often bought hours before in a self-service by weight, served cold in the metal recipient, or even McDonald’s also bought hours before. Some are forced to hide under stairs “as to not be seen by guests” because “it would humiliate us if anyone saw that you’re eating something different”. I have several horror stories to tell. None of them include forgetting, people are just mean to service providers
I know right?! When we got married and we were having lunch i saw the photographer taking pictures i was like.. what? You need to eat and drink too! Go sit and enjoy! She was flabbergasted. It was a hot day too so realy she needs tot drink and eat well. Btw im a nurse 😂
If a friend of mine asked me to pay so much just to sleep on a pull-out couch because I'm the only single one and to volunteer me for making food, I probably won't be friends with them much longer. I'd definitely tell her that it's ridiculous
Right? Like a real friend wouldn’t be trying to take advantage of you like that. She didn’t even ask, she just assumed. No one needs such self-centered people in their life.
I agree this girl may be a good friend of the bride, but not the other way around. in her shoes, I'd make sure to make my reasons crystal clear and then burn the bridges for good.
Yep. Like if she didn't know about the arrangement beforehand, then "I can't go because I can't afford this arrangement that you sprang on us" is a TOTALLY valid answer.
"The world doesn't owe you a living." Asking to be paid for your work is the exact opposite of expecting the world to owe you a living. It's earning a living. Besides, if you "can't see people paying for something like that", then what exactly is exposure going to achieve? Attract more people who won't pay?
My response to "The world doesn't owe you a living." would be "Not the world but anyone wanting my services does. While we're on the subject, no one owes your bridezilla a** free services."
@@isabellamori299 oh dear God… if anyone who was harangued by a choosing beggar ever said that, people would definitely pay for a record of the explosion… screenshots or even a video of the big temper tantrum that the choosing beggar would throw! 😛
As a professional photographer, this video is exactly why I don’t do weddings. It’s also why if I ever get married, I’m prepared to pay my photographer the most out of everything. Especially considering I hope to have one of my professors from when I did my college program be the photographer.
I'd literally pay my dad to take my wedding photos because he's a photographer himself and I would want to be nice and pay him instead of asking for it for free.
@@shwunari If my dad was a photographer, I wouldn’t. I would want him to leave his camera at home. If you’re working a wedding, you can’t fully enjoy it. For me, a wedding is just as much my parents day as it is my own day, so I’d want to make sure they thoroughly get to enjoy it, and not worry about working it. I understand your point though, doesn’t matter how close you are to a person, you pay them and pay them handsomely. 💜
Totally agree. I take photos purely as a hobby and agreed once to take wedding pictures for my ex bf brother. I could not wrap my head around why there is money for everything apart a professional photographer. I might not be the worst option and know how to use Lightroom, but I could never compete with a professional. I know, when I get married, I gladly pay a professional good money!
I honestly didn't know so many people like that existed until these choosing beggar videos from reddit, Facebook etc. started becoming trendy. Even if you don't know a lot about photography (admittedly I don't) you can physically see that the photographer is on their feet all day, quickly having to crouch, change positions, trying to get the best lighting, having to get people to listen and working all day before they have to edit every photo. How can anyone expect someone to do that for free baffles me. I've never encountered anyone like that in my life.
The situation of the friend who was appointed cook without asking reminded me of my entitled uncle and his terrible wife. They basically invited my mom, her husband and me to their wedding to take care of my grandparents with my grandpa being wheelchair bound at that time. Only they didn't tell any of us we were supposed to be staff and not actual guests. When someone else, a strong young man instead of my mom who was already in her 60s herself at that point, took it upon himself to push my grandpa over the rough terrain (outdoor wedding) my uncle yelled at his sister for the first time. It only got worse from there. We were not asked to be in any of the wedding pictures, we were all three yelled at and spoken down to several times... ending up in mom's husband and me staying with my grandpa at his home, wanting to keep him company for a bit and also to calm down before joining the wedding party again only to have my mom returning from the wedding crying her eyes out because the bridezilla had yelled at her for daring to speak to a cousin of my mom's instead of serving my grandma cake which another party guest did (who didn't mind as it was such a small thing to do). Seeing your elderly mom cry like that breaks your heart. Later I've cut all contact with that uncle and wife, my mom keeps trying though because he's her baby brother. But seriously, I'm so much better without them being in my life anymore as that's not the only thing they did, just the first major time they showed their true faces - and a probably rare case of a bridezilla marrying a groomzilla.
Never let people walk over you. The more you try to placate them instead of calling them out, the worse they get. I have to admit my own brother was like that. His first wife used to take so much crap from him. Even when she wasn't in the wrong, she would ask him to forgive her, say sorry etc and the more she said it, the worse he would treat her. If he spoke to me like that he'd get a mouthful and he knew it. They didn't last mainly because she grew some balls at last. He was never so shocked. His 2nd wife (who sadly passed recently) lasted 30 years and he never treated her like he had the first one.
When you are invited to a wedding you are a guest and should be treated as such. To say that’s “messed up” is a huge understatement. Sounds like you are definitely better off cutting ties with those two.
@@darcybrummett7004totally agree with you.. plus: I would have been too proud to stay any Minute longer at that disgraceful party or even return to it later.
The bride that asked the woman she met only once at someone else’s wedding to be a bridesmaid at her own just so she could get a nice gift is on a new level of low.
Imagine going into a Nordstroms or something and being like "not everyone can afford your clothes so you should sell them for cheaper!!!" Same logic lol
The girl who did the "it costs that much cause it takes me f ing hours" song, made another one that goes like "out of your budget doesn't mean overpriced, I don't owe you affordability" which honestly fits so well for those "oh my god, why are you so expensive, I can't afford that, I'll pay you $150“ brides!
It's an argument i had before with a person who thinks my commissions are overprices and i said "art is a luxury, not a need. If you can't afford it, you're not entitled to an artist working for free to provide it for you" and they got super mad at me over it.
@@RatBastard2A8 f them, you are right!!! I once had a fellow artists cheat me out of money with the assistance of my own grandparents in the name of "good relations" 😖
I'm always surprised that these women have managed to find a man willing to marry them. I would be surprised if any of these marriages last more than 5 years (and that's being very generous).
There are videos like this but reading comments by men who answered how well marrying a Bridezilla went. Almost 100 percent of the time I see it lasts 2 years because that attitude never stopped after the wedding. I think once someone said 4 years. Oof.
It could be that the person marrying them is entitled themselves, or they have really low self-esteem/are being abused. Or it could be that they have decided to overlook the entitlement for some reason or the other (thinks they can't do better, thinks the hotness of the bride/groom is worth it, etc.). It's hard to know whether or not to feel sorry for the spouse-to-be in these situations. I always am curious though what kind of person the fiancé is.
Hey,,Charlotte! I've been married for 37 yrs, and I've got a question: Who the heck is marrying these lunatics?? If they're THIS crazy over "their day", I don't think it bodes well for married life?
The gag is (especially on the reddit stories) most the people getting married arent just entitled during the engagement but usually are entitled/used to getting their way prior. I just think its more noticeable during planning a major life change (such as marriage or pregnancy). As to how they are getting married your guess is as good as mine.
I think a lot of it has to do with reality TV. All this talk about how "it's MY day" and other such nonsense. It's like they think it's their sweet 16 party or something, lol. Weddings are supposed to be about the bride entertaining guests. That's literally why they call it a reception -- it's the first time the bride and groom receive guests as a married couple. Seriously, in a lot of super traditional weddings, the bride literally serves the food. I'm not saying people need to go that far, but this "it's MY day" attitude is toxic. I went to a wedding like that once - weird dress requirements for guests, no children (???), certain places you had to stand in "candid" photos, etc. It just sucked. A boring, dreary affair. A lot of the guests left early.
@@Revelwoodie it's a part of the entitled culture that has been built. Parents have given everything these people have ever asked for and these people expect everybody else to give them what they want because a parent lacked the ability to say no.
@@honolulublues5548 - Oooh. I see the mistake I made now. My kids ^definitely^ knew they were loved (I was never supposed to be able to have kids), and all three boys, as well as my "add-ons", are all great people who are compassionate, loving people who give unfailingly to others. I am immensely proud of them and cannot fathom them either acting this way or marrying someone like this. They are far too grounded and decent to do these kind of things to friends and family. It just boggles my mind that most have found a partner at ALL.
Years ago I went to a friend's wedding, and they asked for cash instead of gifts from the guests. HOWEVER (!!) they made it clear that ANY sum would be absolutely fine and they'd still be grateful no matter what. They even underlined that no one should feel bad if they could only afford $10 or even less. Any tiny bit was appreciated and no one would be singled out based on how much they gave. I was broke af at the time and I could only afford $5 in cash to give and the bride and groom were still super happy, thanked me several times, and said every little bit helps and gave me a huge hug. In that situation I don't think they were being entitled, since they had absolutely no demands on anyone giving hundreds of dollars to them in cash. And a couple of guests actually brought gifts and not cash and the couple were still very happy and thanked those guests just the same as everyone else.
It’s creator is Laura, @woahdudedesigns on Instagram. She’s a small business owner and content creator that deserves credit for her song writing work which is used in many of Charlottes videos.
No actual friend would expect you to pay out $700 to stay in a house with people you may or may not know, and also be lumbered down with cooking for almost 2 dozen of them, on top of paying to travel past Robin Hood's barn just to see people get married.
I wish someone would shoot a wedding ‘for free’ and make sure the pics are completely CRAP - when the bride obviously complains just say…but you wanted the photos free and you never specified that they had to be good!!!
Now I wanna be professional photographer, just so I could do that to some bridezilla. I'll make a set of crappy photos and a set of great once. Then show her both and make her choose. She'd pick the good and I'd say the price. If she won't agree I tear them apart in front of her and left her just crappy photos
"You refused to look at my package deals, otherwise you'd have seen the free package contains exactly what you got: shots of the brides nose from below, 27 potrait shots of the DJ you hired, guests waving at the camera shown only from the knee down and the wedding cake after everyone took their second piece."
Some photographers will photoshop their photos if the payment fails. There is this guy somewhere that photoshoped cat-face emojis on every person in his photos, and would only release the original photos after delayed/refused payment went thru.
I love how literally everyone wants art, but never wants to actually pay for it. Oh, and can’t forget that graphic design isn’t a real job when literally EVERYTHING relies on graphics design in this day and age! That label on your cereal box that makes literal candy look like a healthy, delicious breakfast literally drew itself! /s
Awww!!! Congratulations!!! I hope you enjoy your day!! Remember, a wedding is a huge operation with a million things that could possibly go wrong. Chances are, something will go wrong... But remind yourselves to enjoy your day no matter what because as the years go by, the fact that your slippers disappeared and you had to then stand in your crocs for the reception becomes a funny memory if you remember to laugh about it on the day of! Trust me... My wedding day had its own share of fiascos but now, they just make for excellent stories over drinks!
@@ThoughtfulPotato thank you 😊 We’re just doing something small while we’re on vacation with family. At the beach. I’m not super worried about things going wrong (with my family I expect it 😂) We’re not taking things too seriously, obviously getting married is serious but we’re not guna be robots about it lol. My brother got ordained and is marrying us and we plan on just having a good time. I’ve been to a few weddings where everything felt so rehearsed and robotic and I knew then that is exactly what I didn’t want. My whole “wedding party” is made up of kids. Our kids (we’ve been together a long time and already have 3 kids) and my nieces will be flower girls, ring bearer and best man. I just hope we get some nice pictures & have fun and I’ll be happy.
If my best friend or sister required my short self to wear 7+inch heels I'd be wishing them well via email. They'd never see my shortness in their presence again. Even if I DID comply to that ridiculous request - I'd fall on my ass and ruin their wedding anyway lol.
Such a missed opportunity to not follow up the first "It costs that much 'cause it takes me fucking hours" with a "so pay my rates or get your own goddamn flowers" 😉
Yesssss 🙌🏼 I think it would be the highest grossing download if it were recorded. It should be appreciated by self employed worldwide- when a business person gets an entitled call they can respond with a song! That ould be all kinds of foodstuffs. 👍🏼👆🏼❤️🎉 I’d love it on our motorcycle repair shop outplaying message- at least in the background! 😂
I just don’t get how any of these brides have any friends at all? There are so many amazing people in the world, why put up with people like this ever? Just say no. Even if it is your relative.
Every person has their own internal logic, that will not make sense to you. 🤷♀️ Some people want to be friends with crazy people, i have seen that. Some people remain in toxic relationships just so not to be alone. I know a woman who is an avid cat/dog rescuer, she gets the law involved, the funds the medical procedures, she organizes FATs and adoptions, she cries bitterly when she can't save a particular one, she is complete into the process of rescuing animals. And yet she eats them as well. I don't get it.
“To secure your spot in our wedding party the following things will be required: …Your wedding gift must be cash/check of at least $500…” To paraphrase John Oliver, “I’m better off burying that money in the yard, because at least then there’s a small chance that my dog will dig it up and return it to me.”
I’ve been feeling extremely shitty over the last week and I’ve just been binge watching your videos. You always bring a smile to my face and make me feel better. Thank you Charlotte for being so amazing and funny.
Honestly, there are times when I feel like I'm the worst human on earth. Then I see these people and I realize I may not be as evil as I think I am. 😅😅😅
The out of town wedding where the bridesmaid is expected to cook would get a hard no from me too but I would tell her flat out why. I'm not paying $700 to be the cook for the weekend and sleep on a sure-to-shitty bed just because I'm single. At that point I wouldn't care about the nature of the friendship because cooking is my profession and I don't do it for free either
At that stage, to be honest, I would question the nature of that so-called friendship because nobody in their right mind would treat their friends like CraP.
The CB who wants her wedding at her pregnant sister's house: and who's going to do all the setting-up, serving, and clearing up after? I'm sure that a 7-month-pregnant woman wouldn't be totally stressed out - even apart from possibly getting her house trashed with so many people - plus the risk that not all of them will have been fully vaccinated, posing a significant risk to her and the baby.
Exactly. I would call the cops the moment the sister shows up at her house to do the wedding. Covid-19 is a high risk and the wedding isn't worth anything to the point the baby could potentially get sick.
@@merrivideo same. I had forgotten they could do that, so that is a more not needed consequence and the sister would hate the bride even more. The bride could even try to persist even more, so calling the cops would help her in not letting her in (especially because she brought her the dress). I don't think it's fake as some people could be this ridiculous, although I do hope it's fake.
I had a budget wedding 8 years ago. My mom made our 4 tier cake, all the floral arrangements and we bought decorations from hobby lobby. I got married in a church for free and reception was at the same church also for free. I had a friend press a button on a CD player to play music as people walked down the isle. It was very low key. The only professional we had was the photographer and I paid what he said his price was which was $200 for 2 hours. I didn't try to negotiate bc I wanted nice professional pics. Unfortunately he edited the ones for his website and gave us plain unedited pics on CD. I was/am disappointed. Luckily my husbands aunt had a nice camera and took a couple nice pics but not maybe maybe 1 or 2.
I think if I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that had as many outrageous requirements as some of these people do I would just not be a bridesmaid or even go to the wedding.Honestly, I do't know how these type of people have any friends, let alone get married.
The "It Costs This Much" song is popping up in a lot of dog groomer videos. We get "Why can't you just cut out the mats? He'll look bad shaved." It's always doodle owners, too. They pay $2000 for a mutt and don't want to A) learn to use a brush and comb on their own dog and 2) pay a fair price and get the dog groomed on a regular schedule (maximum of 4 weeks between visits if they want more than half an inch of coat left on the dog and no more than 6 weeks if they want more than 1/4-inch).
I never understand that logic. Like I can be really generous to my family and close friends, but to the stranger it would be rather different. So what do these people expect?
11:06 is ridiculous! I agree she needs to tell her the truth. If she gets mad, then so be it because anyone who is that entitled and takes advantage of you is not a good friend in the first place.
I will never understand why people expect photographers to take pictures at a wedding for free. The equipment alone costs a ton of money, never mind all the planning that has to go into it, along with the actual photography itself (point and click, eh?) and the photo editing that comes afterwards. It boggles the mind.
Yes I don’t understand why they think they are doing these photographers some big favor. Like it should be an honor to go to their wedding and work for them for free. Makes no sense.
Well, you really can't count the equipment because they should have that already. But, the time is what you pay for the most. And people that think "you can have food and free drinks all night" is some sort of payment are crazy.
@@honolulublues5548 equipment is indeed counted in pricing. It’s part of the investment and the money has to come back eventually. Also, many people don’t know, but professional cameras have a limited lifespan based on how many clicks it can have (so if you take 200 clicks at each wedding, many cameras will only last 15 weddings). So it’s a material that’s used up and have to be replaced often. Something else that goes into pricing is the courses you took, how much they cost, how many hours you studied, and how long you’re in the industry. Every investment has to come back for it to be called an investment ;)
@@honolulublues5548they usually don’t get the equipment for free so it is definitely factored in. When you open a business, anything you pay for plus time and the likes is totally factored in. If not, the business never makes a profit meaning you can never even break even so it’s just a waste of time.
When my parents were first married my dad worked as an assistant in a photography studio. Many, many years later people would ask him to photograph weddings which he often did as a gift.
The video and/or photos are priceless. These are the only things you'll have left of your wedding. You'll share them with your family and friends and show your grandkids! We budgeted most of our money for the photographer. It's worth it!
I conditioned my mother a long time that should I ever find someone I would actually wed, I would elope! Lol. I've not changed my mind all these years, hahaha.
For my wedding my FIL's best friend was our photographer. That was his profession and he did the job as a gift. We didn't get a fancy album but I was so grateful to him. We paid for most of the wedding ourselves so it was one less expense and one less arrangement to make. I would have never asked him to do it for free. Had a few friends actually criticize him for not giving us an album but I just told them it was a gift that I truly appreciated.
I had my wedding for under 1k. My family offered wedding gifts in the form of food for the wedding, pictures, etc. These people are inexcusable. Period.
@@bettystiegler1702 it really was! Im sure not as polished as a good many weddings are these days, but it was such a memorable gathering of family in a really nice environment.
I’m a soon to be bride, with 2 1/2 months to the day and I can’t imagine being this narcissistic about anything wedding related. Lol thank you for the funny content to distract from the wedding planning stress ❤️
The most important thing to remember is that a wedding is supposed to be fun. Twenty years from now, no one is going to be like, "Remember Kelsey's wedding?

I've got a friend who does amazing wedding photography that people happily pay thousands of dollars for and it would never even occur to me to ask her for so much as a discount, much less the whole job for free. These people are shameless.
It always amazes me how flippant these choosing beggar brides (and sometimes grooms) are about what it takes a professional to do the work for their wedding. Beautiful wedding cake? You’re not only paying for the ingredients, you are paying for the considerable time and effort it takes to create the cake, plus the years of experience and level of skill of the cake maker. Photographer, same thing - not only working their butts off at the wedding and reception, but also the time and resources it takes to work with the images in whatever ways that are needed. Also, each professional has expenses like the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment needed to do the job. In addition to all of that, people have the right to make a decent living off of the work they do. Even if the job isn’t their primary source of income, everyone deserves to get paid, and paid well, for their work. Being asked to work for a pittance or for free is such an insult! The professional most likely has other clients/customers willing to pay their rates, too, so why should they, or anyone, work for free?
I've been amazed by entitlement a few times in my own life but, even then, people were at least sponging off of actual friends/family. Who are these people who think absolute strangers owe them free goods and services?
Charlotte and her videos make my whole day! She is one of the few people I look forward to seeing! Thank you Ms. Dobré for brining much needed joy to me and making my day brighter 🌞😎 God Bless!!🤩❤️
I swear when you said you were singing about exposure and you said everybody I shouted loud enough for the neighbours to hear "it takes me f*cking hours" u have that song living rent free in my head and I love it haha
As a professional musician this is sadly, pretty common. No we won't bring a 5 piece band and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to your party for free! Grrrinds my gears!
It is funny how people think that flowers should be almost gave up for free, like being florist is not a job at all, and like you, as a florist, don't have to buy flowers and decorations in the first place... 🤔😊💕
These aren't people who were never told "no." These are people whose parents handed them whatever they wanted without them having to lift a finger, do chores, manage their money, or work. They have no concept of what services or goods are supposed to cost.
Entitled is a an understatement. 🙄 My daughter's wedding we had in her nana and papa's backyard and my mom and I made the flower arrangements and the bridal bouquet. Yes, she asked if we could do this for her. She wanted a sm wedding, not a massive expensive wedding.

If I ever get married I want the dress code to be "outdress me" because I think it would be hilarious and wonderful to see my family and friends try to guess just how lavish I will be dressed and go one step further. Prizes will be awarded for the best outfit.
Oh that’s genius!
And then you show up as the only one dressed normally 😂 standing out in the reverse way
@@GoddessOfThree That kind of reminds me of when the couple asks everyone to wear white so they wear other colours and stand out
@@Atlas_4rt I had briefly considered wearing black and asking everyone to wear white. Glad things did not pan out with that guy. Black would have been very appropriate though.
I like you!!!
All bridezillas, who want a free photographer, should shoot their own wedding and make their own album because it's THEIR DAY. So OWN it.
It is totally a budget decision. If you don't want your money to go towards photos, go ahead and get friends and family to do it for free (while being nice to them 🥰). That is totally legit. Just don't ream professional photographers because they have prices that you don't want to pay. It's the free market, baby!
And I don't understand how being a Karen about it is going to persuade anyone to change their rates. I wouldn't change them for some rude person. Karens can sometimes bully people in stores to do what they want just to get rid of them, but a contracted service person can just say or text "no", hang up, or block them.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha Yes, you're right. Hope your had the fabulous day you both earned.
Then everyone can say the photos look like they were taken with a toy camera.
That’s pretty much what Hubby and I did 30 years ago. I allowed my guests to take as many photos as they wanted andnthey gave me the negatives afterwards. My brother and cousin both videoed the wedding and reception and mum edited those two tapes to make a lovely video for us. Worked perfectly, and our guests loved the idea that their photos would end up in our wedding album.
*O N E. H U N D R E D. TO THE POWER OF INFINITY!!!*
At my wedding we ordered extra food to be able to feed the photographer, DJ, and his assistants. I was actually shocked that they were surprised to be getting fed because apparently most couples don’t feed them at the weddings they work at 🤯
I suppose people just forget really. They count the guests and that's it. Honestly i don't think i would remember either, but i would certainly offer them something and a seat at a table once they were there and i saw them as actual people at the party!
@@neliaferreira9983 unfortunately they don’t forget, they refuse to pay to feed us, often finding it an absurd that we asked for food in the first place. I’m a MUA and while I don’t do brides, my MUA friends hire me to do the bridesmaids and we usually spend the whole day with snacks even though their contract demands food (bridezillas think finger sandwiches enough for half the team are enough - and most is eaten by bridesmaids).
Photographers also demand food on contract in my country, and I’ve heard stories of them being forced to eat different, cheaper foods in the kitchen - often bought hours before in a self-service by weight, served cold in the metal recipient, or even McDonald’s also bought hours before. Some are forced to hide under stairs “as to not be seen by guests” because “it would humiliate us if anyone saw that you’re eating something different”. I have several horror stories to tell. None of them include forgetting, people are just mean to service providers
@@LivTavares 😲😬 Ouch... Now that you tell me i can actually see that happening... People can be so stupid...
Yes thought that was party etiquette. We had parties and we always feed the DJ.
I know right?! When we got married and we were having lunch i saw the photographer taking pictures i was like.. what? You need to eat and drink too! Go sit and enjoy! She was flabbergasted. It was a hot day too so realy she needs tot drink and eat well. Btw im a nurse 😂
If a friend of mine asked me to pay so much just to sleep on a pull-out couch because I'm the only single one and to volunteer me for making food, I probably won't be friends with them much longer. I'd definitely tell her that it's ridiculous
Right? Like a real friend wouldn’t be trying to take advantage of you like that. She didn’t even ask, she just assumed. No one needs such self-centered people in their life.
Same, I’m too outspoken to not say anything!
I agree
this girl may be a good friend of the bride, but not the other way around.
in her shoes, I'd make sure to make my reasons crystal clear and then burn the bridges for good.
Yup . That’s not a friend worth keeping.
Yep. Like if she didn't know about the arrangement beforehand, then "I can't go because I can't afford this arrangement that you sprang on us" is a TOTALLY valid answer.
"The world doesn't owe you a living."
Asking to be paid for your work is the exact opposite of expecting the world to owe you a living. It's earning a living.
Besides, if you "can't see people paying for something like that", then what exactly is exposure going to achieve? Attract more people who won't pay?
Plus the obvious response is...'and the world doesn't owe you free stuff" !
My response to "The world doesn't owe you a living." would be "Not the world but anyone wanting my services does. While we're on the subject, no one owes your bridezilla a** free services."
"can't see people paying for something like that"
I'd have to try real hard not to say, "Samesies! guess that's why you never made it as a hooker!".
"Yes, that's why [x skillset] is how I _make_ my living.
But I'll mention your request to my unbooked colleagues; it'll get you heaps of exposure."
@@isabellamori299 oh dear God… if anyone who was harangued by a choosing beggar ever said that, people would definitely pay for a record of the explosion… screenshots or even a video of the big temper tantrum that the choosing beggar would throw! 😛
As a professional photographer, this video is exactly why I don’t do weddings. It’s also why if I ever get married, I’m prepared to pay my photographer the most out of everything. Especially considering I hope to have one of my professors from when I did my college program be the photographer.
I'd literally pay my dad to take my wedding photos because he's a photographer himself and I would want to be nice and pay him instead of asking for it for free.
@@shwunari If my dad was a photographer, I wouldn’t. I would want him to leave his camera at home. If you’re working a wedding, you can’t fully enjoy it. For me, a wedding is just as much my parents day as it is my own day, so I’d want to make sure they thoroughly get to enjoy it, and not worry about working it. I understand your point though, doesn’t matter how close you are to a person, you pay them and pay them handsomely. 💜
Totally agree. I take photos purely as a hobby and agreed once to take wedding pictures for my ex bf brother. I could not wrap my head around why there is money for everything apart a professional photographer. I might not be the worst option and know how to use Lightroom, but I could never compete with a professional. I know, when I get married, I gladly pay a professional good money!
I honestly didn't know so many people like that existed until these choosing beggar videos from reddit, Facebook etc. started becoming trendy. Even if you don't know a lot about photography (admittedly I don't) you can physically see that the photographer is on their feet all day, quickly having to crouch, change positions, trying to get the best lighting, having to get people to listen and working all day before they have to edit every photo. How can anyone expect someone to do that for free baffles me. I've never encountered anyone like that in my life.
I skipped hiring the video crew to get better photographer and pay them well.... I don't get those people..
The situation of the friend who was appointed cook without asking reminded me of my entitled uncle and his terrible wife.
They basically invited my mom, her husband and me to their wedding to take care of my grandparents with my grandpa being wheelchair bound at that time.
Only they didn't tell any of us we were supposed to be staff and not actual guests.
When someone else, a strong young man instead of my mom who was already in her 60s herself at that point, took it upon himself to push my grandpa over the rough terrain (outdoor wedding) my uncle yelled at his sister for the first time.
It only got worse from there. We were not asked to be in any of the wedding pictures, we were all three yelled at and spoken down to several times... ending up in mom's husband and me staying with my grandpa at his home, wanting to keep him company for a bit and also to calm down before joining the wedding party again only to have my mom returning from the wedding crying her eyes out because the bridezilla had yelled at her for daring to speak to a cousin of my mom's instead of serving my grandma cake which another party guest did (who didn't mind as it was such a small thing to do).
Seeing your elderly mom cry like that breaks your heart.
Later I've cut all contact with that uncle and wife, my mom keeps trying though because he's her baby brother.
But seriously, I'm so much better without them being in my life anymore as that's not the only thing they did, just the first major time they showed their true faces - and a probably rare case of a bridezilla marrying a groomzilla.
Never let people walk over you. The more you try to placate them instead of calling them out, the worse they get. I have to admit my own brother was like that. His first wife used to take so much crap from him. Even when she wasn't in the wrong, she would ask him to forgive her, say sorry etc and the more she said it, the worse he would treat her. If he spoke to me like that he'd get a mouthful and he knew it. They didn't last mainly because she grew some balls at last. He was never so shocked. His 2nd wife (who sadly passed recently) lasted 30 years and he never treated her like he had the first one.
When you are invited to a wedding you are a guest and should be treated as such. To say that’s “messed up” is a huge understatement. Sounds like you are definitely better off cutting ties with those two.
@@darcybrummett7004totally agree with you.. plus: I would have been too proud to stay any Minute longer at that disgraceful party or even return to it later.
The bride that asked the woman she met only once at someone else’s wedding to be a bridesmaid at her own just so she could get a nice gift is on a new level of low.
And then makes it clear that they're not invited to the wedding unless it's to give her shit, like the gall of these people!
perioddd
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha I sure hope so!
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha" It's a wonder he didn't file for divorce the next day, if she yelled at him on their wedding day.
👏👏👏
Imagine going into a Nordstroms or something and being like "not everyone can afford your clothes so you should sell them for cheaper!!!" Same logic lol
The sad thing is some people actually do that.
The girl who did the "it costs that much cause it takes me f ing hours" song, made another one that goes like "out of your budget doesn't mean overpriced, I don't owe you affordability" which honestly fits so well for those "oh my god, why are you so expensive, I can't afford that, I'll pay you $150“ brides!

@@minagica Love that....so funny! "Participation trophy princesses"!
It's an argument i had before with a person who thinks my commissions are overprices and i said "art is a luxury, not a need. If you can't afford it, you're not entitled to an artist working for free to provide it for you" and they got super mad at me over it.
@@RatBastard2A8 f them, you are right!!! I once had a fellow artists cheat me out of money with the assistance of my own grandparents in the name of "good relations" 😖
I'm always surprised that these women have managed to find a man willing to marry them. I would be surprised if any of these marriages last more than 5 years (and that's being very generous).
There are videos like this but reading comments by men who answered how well marrying a Bridezilla went. Almost 100 percent of the time I see it lasts 2 years because that attitude never stopped after the wedding. I think once someone said 4 years. Oof.
@@MsJubjubbird Really?? You got me so curious now! I will go search for that.
It could be that the person marrying them is entitled themselves, or they have really low self-esteem/are being abused. Or it could be that they have decided to overlook the entitlement for some reason or the other (thinks they can't do better, thinks the hotness of the bride/groom is worth it, etc.).
It's hard to know whether or not to feel sorry for the spouse-to-be in these situations. I always am curious though what kind of person the fiancé is.
My thoughts exactly. Where are the wingmen in these men's lives? Lol Run. Just run.
I don’t understand how these women end up in successful relationships and I don’t
Hey,,Charlotte! I've been married for 37 yrs, and I've got a question: Who the heck is marrying these lunatics?? If they're THIS crazy over "their day", I don't think it bodes well for married life?
The gag is (especially on the reddit stories) most the people getting married arent just entitled during the engagement but usually are entitled/used to getting their way prior. I just think its more noticeable during planning a major life change (such as marriage or pregnancy). As to how they are getting married your guess is as good as mine.
I think a lot of it has to do with reality TV. All this talk about how "it's MY day" and other such nonsense. It's like they think it's their sweet 16 party or something, lol. Weddings are supposed to be about the bride entertaining guests. That's literally why they call it a reception -- it's the first time the bride and groom receive guests as a married couple. Seriously, in a lot of super traditional weddings, the bride literally serves the food. I'm not saying people need to go that far, but this "it's MY day" attitude is toxic. I went to a wedding like that once - weird dress requirements for guests, no children (???), certain places you had to stand in "candid" photos, etc. It just sucked. A boring, dreary affair. A lot of the guests left early.
@@Revelwoodie it's a part of the entitled culture that has been built. Parents have given everything these people have ever asked for and these people expect everybody else to give them what they want because a parent lacked the ability to say no.
@@honolulublues5548 - Oooh. I see the mistake I made now. My kids ^definitely^ knew they were loved (I was never supposed to be able to have kids), and all three boys, as well as my "add-ons", are all great people who are compassionate, loving people who give unfailingly to others. I am immensely proud of them and cannot fathom them either acting this way or marrying someone like this. They are far too grounded and decent to do these kind of things to friends and family. It just boggles my mind that most have found a partner at ALL.
@@DramaisFunny - Well, my "other guess" is that these marriages will be short-lived with the divorce lawyer knocking soon enough.
Years ago I went to a friend's wedding, and they asked for cash instead of gifts from the guests. HOWEVER (!!) they made it clear that ANY sum would be absolutely fine and they'd still be grateful no matter what. They even underlined that no one should feel bad if they could only afford $10 or even less. Any tiny bit was appreciated and no one would be singled out based on how much they gave. I was broke af at the time and I could only afford $5 in cash to give and the bride and groom were still super happy, thanked me several times, and said every little bit helps and gave me a huge hug. In that situation I don't think they were being entitled, since they had absolutely no demands on anyone giving hundreds of dollars to them in cash. And a couple of guests actually brought gifts and not cash and the couple were still very happy and thanked those guests just the same as everyone else.

No actual friend would expect you to pay out $700 to stay in a house with people you may or may not know, and also be lumbered down with cooking for almost 2 dozen of them, on top of paying to travel past Robin Hood's barn just to see people get married.
I wish someone would shoot a wedding ‘for free’ and make sure the pics are completely CRAP - when the bride obviously complains just say…but you wanted the photos free and you never specified that they had to be good!!!
Now I wanna be professional photographer, just so I could do that to some bridezilla.
I'll make a set of crappy photos and a set of great once. Then show her both and make her choose. She'd pick the good and I'd say the price. If she won't agree I tear them apart in front of her and left her just crappy photos
My dad did my friend’s wedding for free.. they were all out of focus. I told her not to complain because it was FREE 😂
"You refused to look at my package deals, otherwise you'd have seen the free package contains exactly what you got: shots of the brides nose from below, 27 potrait shots of the DJ you hired, guests waving at the camera shown only from the knee down and the wedding cake after everyone took their second piece."
Some photographers will photoshop their photos if the payment fails. There is this guy somewhere that photoshoped cat-face emojis on every person in his photos, and would only release the original photos after delayed/refused payment went thru.

The out of town wedding where the bridesmaid is expected to cook would get a hard no from me too but I would tell her flat out why. I'm not paying $700 to be the cook for the weekend and sleep on a sure-to-shitty bed just because I'm single. At that point I wouldn't care about the nature of the friendship because cooking is my profession and I don't do it for free either
At that stage, to be honest, I would question the nature of that so-called friendship because nobody in their right mind would treat their friends like CraP.
The CB who wants her wedding at her pregnant sister's house: and who's going to do all the setting-up, serving, and clearing up after?
I'm sure that a 7-month-pregnant woman wouldn't be totally stressed out - even apart from possibly getting her house trashed with so many people - plus the risk that not all of them will have been fully vaccinated, posing a significant risk to her and the baby.
I can't believe she would put her sister in that position.
Exactly. I would call the cops the moment the sister shows up at her house to do the wedding. Covid-19 is a high risk and the wedding isn't worth anything to the point the baby could potentially get sick.
@@jessica1lopez she could even loose the baby if she gets sick. I hope she said no or that it was fake.
@@merrivideo same. I had forgotten they could do that, so that is a more not needed consequence and the sister would hate the bride even more.

I had a budget wedding 8 years ago. My mom made our 4 tier cake, all the floral arrangements and we bought decorations from hobby lobby. I got married in a church for free and reception was at the same church also for free. I had a friend press a button on a CD player to play music as people walked down the isle. It was very low key. The only professional we had was the photographer and I paid what he said his price was which was $200 for 2 hours. I didn't try to negotiate bc I wanted nice professional pics. Unfortunately he edited the ones for his website and gave us plain unedited pics on CD. I was/am disappointed. Luckily my husbands aunt had a nice camera and took a couple nice pics but not maybe maybe 1 or 2.
I think if I was a bridesmaid at a wedding that had as many outrageous requirements as some of these people do I would just not be a bridesmaid
or even go to the wedding.Honestly, I do't know how these type of people have any friends, let alone get married.

Exactly. Even if it was my best friend, if they acted that entitled I'd literally just reply with a middle finger emoji and not attend the wedding 😂
Always a bridesmaid never a bride, 3 times & never seen a bride or anything this crazy!!!

I was ten times a bridesmaid before I was a bride! I still didn’t witness anything like this
The "It Costs This Much" song is popping up in a lot of dog groomer videos. We get "Why can't you just cut out the mats? He'll look bad shaved." It's always doodle owners, too. They pay $2000 for a mutt and don't want to A) learn to use a brush and comb on their own dog and 2) pay a fair price and get the dog groomed on a regular schedule (maximum of 4 weeks between visits if they want more than half an inch of coat left on the dog and no more than 6 weeks if they want more than 1/4-inch).
Imagine being so smart that you actually go and tell people that you want them at your wedding because their gift was generous.
Infantile self-absorption triumphing over all
I never understand that logic. Like I can be really generous to my family and close friends, but to the stranger it would be rather different. So what do these people expect?
11:06 is ridiculous! I agree she needs to tell her the truth. If she gets mad, then so be it because anyone who is that entitled and takes advantage of you is not a good friend in the first place.
I will never understand why people expect photographers to take pictures at a wedding for free. The equipment alone costs a ton of money, never mind all the planning that has to go into it, along with the actual photography itself (point and click, eh?) and the photo editing that comes afterwards.
It boggles the mind.
Yes I don’t understand why they think they are doing these photographers some big favor. Like it should be an honor to go to their wedding and work for them for free.
Makes no sense.
Well, you really can't count the equipment because they should have that already. But, the time is what you pay for the most. And people that think "you can have food and free drinks all night" is some sort of payment are crazy.
@@honolulublues5548 equipment is indeed counted in pricing. It’s part of the investment and the money has to come back eventually. Also, many people don’t know, but professional cameras have a limited lifespan based on how many clicks it can have (so if you take 200 clicks at each wedding, many cameras will only last 15 weddings). So it’s a material that’s used up and have to be replaced often.
Something else that goes into pricing is the courses you took, how much they cost, how many hours you studied, and how long you’re in the industry. Every investment has to come back for it to be called an investment ;)
@@honolulublues5548they usually don’t get the equipment for free so it is definitely factored in. When you open a business, anything you pay for plus time and the likes is totally factored in. If not, the business never makes a profit meaning you can never even break even so it’s just a waste of time.
When my parents were first married my dad worked as an assistant in a photography studio. Many, many years later people would ask him to photograph weddings which he often did as a gift.

I doubt they even tried to make a run for it.
Couples often go hand-in-hand unfortunately.
I often hear comments like this when someone is awful and I think “how do you know their partner/spouse isn’t as bad or even worse?” 😁
The video and/or photos are priceless. These are the only things you'll have left of your wedding. You'll share them with your family and friends and show your grandkids! We budgeted most of our money for the photographer. It's worth it!

For my wedding my FIL's best friend was our photographer. That was his profession and he did the job as a gift. We didn't get a fancy album but I was so grateful to him. We paid for most of the wedding ourselves so it was one less expense and one less arrangement to make.
I would have never asked him to do it for free. Had a few friends actually criticize him for not giving us an album but I just told them it was a gift that I truly appreciated.

Charlotte singing the 'It costs that much' song in nearly every video now is hilarious
I had my wedding for under 1k. My family offered wedding gifts in the form of food for the wedding, pictures, etc.
These people are inexcusable. Period.
And I bet it was absolutely lovely!
@@bettystiegler1702 it really was! Im sure not as polished as a good many weddings are these days, but it was such a memorable gathering of family in a really nice environment.
@@CreativeCreatorCreates Polished is not important! It is all about the experience, the love and how it feels ❤!
Girl! Charlotte! That song and tune is now stuck in my head. Thanks for that.
Seriously though. I LOVE your videos. You're so much fun to watch.
I’m a soon to be bride, with 2 1/2 months to the day and I can’t imagine being this narcissistic about anything wedding related. Lol thank you for the funny content to distract from the wedding planning stress ❤️
Congratulations.... 💕
Congratulations 🎉🎉 I am so happy for you!! Best wishes from my side:)
Have a wonderfull, fun and overall relaxed day!
The most important thing to remember is that a wedding is supposed to be fun. Twenty years from now, no one is going to be like, "Remember Kelsey's wedding? The flowers didn't even match the table settings! How trashy!" People need good food, good drinks, good music, and good friends. That's all. :)
Congrats!!!!!
Your videos make me smile lately and trust me it’s been a rough year. Through my husbands cancer diagnosis, then a stroke at 34 yrs old and stack COVID-19 on top, not much to laugh about lately. Thanks for your ensured comic relief in my otherwise dreary times. 😘
I HATE when ppl are like “just give it to me for free IT CAN BE A GIFT FOR MY WEDDING like it totally doesn’t take hours”
Edit: tysm for all the likes! Also Charlotte luv dis series!!
And who gives an f about the wedding??? Like, I can't pay rent that way lol
@@stoppickingurnose7852 but it's their special day! They're so entitled they don't understand their special day is only special to them. No one else gives a shit. lol
I've got a friend who does amazing wedding photography that people happily pay thousands of dollars for and it would never even occur to me to ask her for so much as a discount, much less the whole job for free. These people are shameless.
It just annoys me so much cuz like ppl have rent and sadly DOING STUFF FOR FREE AINT GOING TO CUT IT
It always amazes me how flippant these choosing beggar brides (and sometimes grooms) are about what it takes a professional to do the work for their wedding. Beautiful wedding cake? You’re not only paying for the ingredients, you are paying for the considerable time and effort it takes to create the cake, plus the years of experience and level of skill of the cake maker. Photographer, same thing - not only working their butts off at the wedding and reception, but also the time and resources it takes to work with the images in whatever ways that are needed. Also, each professional has expenses like the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment needed to do the job. In addition to all of that, people have the right to make a decent living off of the work they do. Even if the job isn’t their primary source of income, everyone deserves to get paid, and paid well, for their work. Being asked to work for a pittance or for free is such an insult! The professional most likely has other clients/customers willing to pay their rates, too, so why should they, or anyone, work for free?
With every new edition of these, I somehow continue to be blown away by the sheer audacity of these women! AND THOROUGHLY AMUSED! 🤯🤣😂👍✌️
I've been amazed by entitlement a few times in my own life but, even then, people were at least sponging off of actual friends/family. Who are these people who think absolute strangers owe them free goods and services?
I love that she threw the “ma’am” in there (the first one). You know that was to claim she was professional but also made the bride feel a little old.
I cant believe someone would want flower arrangements without paying for labor like that. Where do these people come from
Charlotte and her videos make my whole day! She is one of the few people I look forward to seeing! Thank you Ms. Dobré for brining much needed joy to me and making my day brighter 🌞😎 God Bless!!🤩❤️
I swear when you said you were singing about exposure and you said everybody I shouted loud enough for the neighbours to hear "it takes me f*cking hours" u have that song living rent free in my head and I love it haha
As a professional musician this is sadly, pretty common. No we won't bring a 5 piece band and thousands of dollars worth of equipment to your party for free! Grrrinds my gears!
Ukulele, G,C,E,A from top down as you're holding it. Looking forward to the musical accompaniment component!
I can not even believe these people exist in the world. It's absolutely unbelievable.
It is funny how people think that flowers should be almost gave up for free, like being florist is not a job at all, and like you, as a florist, don't have to buy flowers and decorations in the first place... 🤔😊💕
Most florists are really underpaid as it is, idiots refusing to pay for days worth of work is the last thing any of them needs.
Every time I watch these Bridezilla uploads from you I find my chin hitting the desk as my mouth drops open. CAN THEY BE REAL, THESE WOMEN?!
OMG! I DIE every time you bring out the "It cost that much" song and bringing out the ukulele was AMAZING!
These aren't people who were never told "no." These are people whose parents handed them whatever they wanted without them having to lift a finger, do chores, manage their money, or work. They have no concept of what services or goods are supposed to cost.
That explains why their sense of entitlement is out of control.
Entitled is a an understatement. 🙄
My daughter's wedding we had in her nana and papa's backyard and my mom and I made the flower arrangements and the bridal bouquet. Yes, she asked if we could do this for her. She wanted a sm wedding, not a massive expensive wedding.
I bet it was beautiful!!
Charlotte!! I would LOVE if you would do videos on people resigning from their jobs! I was on my Pinterest and came across some hilarious ways people have done it and I think you'd love them/be so good reviewing them! :) Love ya girl watch you everyday (at work ;)) shhh.
Hey, # tatertots. Welcome back❣Charlotte, you put the shine in 🌞sunshine, 👸. Where ever you are, have a great Tuesday. ✌🏼❤🖤❤
I could say the same thing about you
@@leventmuyan21 Aww, bless you. It's nice to see you again. You're always too sweet. I hope you're having a beautiful day, #internetbestie. 🤗❤
Hey Spud Nation and fellow Tatertot! How are you today? I'm having a bad leg pain day, BUT, I am having an awesome day!😁💜 The sun be shining bright! 🌞
Oh the florals is insane. You just want her to volunteer 80 HOURS of labor. That is mind blowing
Yeah, that's 2 weeks free work when you consider most people work a 40 hr week
Hey girl I haven't been on your channel in a while I was recently diagnosed with Ms so it's been a little crazy. Congratulations on getting that many subscribers I'm proud of you. I was part of your subscribers pretty much in your earlier days and you know you do remind me a lot of Lucille Ball seeing humor same facial expressions and that's what draws people to you because of your magnetic personality. So good luck and keep kicking butt xoxoxo
I thought of Carol Burnett & yeah Lucy faces. She hysterical. Take care & be well.😻😻
Look up Dr. Joe dispenza 😇😇😇
Sorry about your health issues.
Be prepared for being a number not a person. Be your own best advocate. Good Luck 🤞
when im way too stressed out by my responsibilities and am taking life too seriously, you and your videos never fail to make me laugh and lighten the mood of my day by help me forget my responsibilities for a few minutes. plus nothing makes you feel better about the drama in your own life like hearing about drama in someone elses life that's even worse than your own lol
My sister is 5’3”, I’m 5’8”. She didn’t want me to wear heels because I needed to be more aligned to her height rather than the Best Man (who was 6’5”). So, she wanted me to wear a pair of dyeable flats. Unfortunately for her, the only height of heels that was in my size was 1 1/2” heels. Ah, too bad, sis.
This was one of your best ones Charlotte! I bursted out multiple times!hahhaha
I started singing the Siouxsie and the Banshees version of Dear Prudence when that bit came up. Good song!
Good band
@@amatije Oh hell yeah! I once saw them live many, many moons ago. The Goddess Siouxsie herself bummed a ciggy off me lol. One of the best memories I have.
@@cocteaut I saw them live also ages ago. I was so young back then. It was a blast
@@amatije We were both baby Goths! I still dance (badly) around my living room when I've had a few glasses of red wine, and have started playing my Siouxsie vinyl collection. Good Times.
@@cocteaut once a goth always a goth. I listen to some other stuff to,but my heat will forever be 🖤
As a photographer, only ever covered one wedding - it aged me 10 years.
Oh no!
That “ Hey everybody” never fails to make me feel happy
I don't know why but the 'out of stock' edit on the shoes really got me 😂
There’s a 1st time for EVERYTHING 💯😍❣️
Thanks!
I hear Ricky Gervais saying “no one cares as much as you do “. I’d love to unleash him on these folks
The photographer ones gets me every time! My hubs and and I recently decided to leave the wedding photography industry as it was just mental the way people treated us and their expectations. So rude and hurtful too!
i always get stuck on the pullout couches or blow up matresses on vacation, and it sucks, but i also have gone on those vacations for free sometimes lol i would be pissed to pay $700 to sleep on a couch instead of a bedroom in the house
And dont forget doing the cooking too(for free no doubt )these types are insane
Your content has really been a bright shiny beam in my day! Thanks for spreading your joy and silliness. W need more lol
I’m obsessed with your channel!! You’re so stunning and you always make people laugh 🤍
I laughed at this, a lot. I know you are on vacation right now, and it is well deserved. I'm just a chick in Georgia who appreciates Canadians for protecting us from polar bears. Thanks for that.
If you're scared of polar bears you don't wanna go near our koalas at night. They're downright vicious.
Don't be deceived. Polar bears and Canadians are partners in crime.
Hey there Charlotte! Thank you for making my day. Your content has been a good source of support through very tough times and I want you to know that you make a change in this world. I hope all your kindness returns to you tenfold.
Looking good Char, the longer hair with the freckles is adorable
Pretty sure the 4 spots available will remain available
I'd certainly hope so. That was a ridiculous list of requirements even if she didn't really mean it. If you have to test your friends, then what kind of friend are you?
@@akavienne Exactly
I love watching these videos in the morning lol! It gives me a good perspective before starting my day 😂
These are the people who say "Time is money" when its convenient for em"
I agree with the observations in previous bridezilla videos of how extraordinary it is that some of these brides have someone who wants to marry them.
I'm so sick but no amount of sickness will keep me from watching Charlotte 🙂❤️
Feel better soon 😊
Aww, I'm sorry to hear that, friend. Best wishes for a quick recovery. ❤
Thank you guys i Appreciate your wishes
@@NotUnique_ You're so welcome. 🤗✌🏼
Lol...your voice overs are perfect!! All I could here for one of the bridezilla stories was: "It Rubs The Lotion On Its Skin Or Else It Gets The Hose Again!"
Posted 9 seconds ago? My lucky day! Needed this right now
I just recently discovered your channel, and these wedding videos are killing me!! IT'S MY DAY! LMAO
How is it so many Karen's can find love but I can't!? Haha
More than likely it's not "REAL LOVE"!!🤣🤣🤣 I see a lot of divorces in their futures!!🤣🤣🤣
My future in-laws were taking photography classes and even doing their own development photos in their make-shift garage area for photos and I was more than happy to have them do the photos. They weren't professional photographs, but they were fun and showed the love of those that came and that is all I cared about.
