Brides are all the rage for asking for $500 fee for bridesmaids

Borrow something, something that ruins the bank?

A bride just asked her bridesmaid to cough $500 on her “dream” wedding top, and it was “unnegotiable”, after a bride dropped the bomb in just three weeks’ notice, a Reddit user devoured the R/Bridezillas on R/Bridezillas.

“Some of us have budgets, which feels totally unreasonable,” one bridesmaid turned to Reddit for advice. “Is anyone dealing with Bridezilla asking friends for a large sum of money at the last minute? How did you deal with it without causing the drama?”

One user urged “Out of the wedding.” Another piled up in: “This. People, I’m begging you: don’t make ridiculous requests (or in this case, demand). If everyone stops, we’ll have fewer ridiculous requests.”

Others suggest a more tactical exit. “I would reply that you think she would be more comfortable with another bridesmaid and instead attend as a guest. This need may be just the tip of this woman’s iceberg.”

One angry commenter said bluntly: “You have to be eligible to ask the bridesmaids, are they already spending a lot of money on wedding-related expenses to contribute to your dream wedding donation?! … This requires anesthesia.”

Traditionally, the bride never asks her bridesmaid to raise for her dream wedding dress. They usually want their friends to grab the bouquet, not the bill.

Most brides choose bridesmaids for love, not for appearance. But as the post previously reported, a bride said yes to the dress-for any good friend who might be better than her.

The bride-to-be allegedly sparked anger earlier this spring.

The bombshell fell on Reddit’s notorious AITA forum, where the bride-to-be sister sprinkled tea there.

She admitted she was “excited” to be asked to stand beside her 27-year-old siblings-until she met with other bride parties.

“Each of them is someone she isn’t too close to or isn’t making fun of, or is making fun of before,” the original poster reads.

When she called out to the bride on the lineup of the head grabs, the white woman finally succumbed to the less likable reason behind her draft pick.

“She kind of smiled and said, ‘What you’ll understand is your wedding. You don’t want your own pictures to surpass your people.’

One commenter wrote in the topic: “This is mean girl/cat behavior.”

“Yes, she should feel beautiful on special days, but even if no one knows, she’s ugly inside.”

Ultimately, whether it’s a friend liar who dresses for “dreams” or piles up bride parties with bait, these brides are saying “I do” to the drama.
