It’s “I Do” or die in order to stand beside this bride.
Most gals gearing up to take the plunge have an extremely specific vision for their nuptials — including the look and alignment of their bridal party.
But one brutally “obnoxious” bride-to-be is virtually berating her bridesmaids by enforcing a set of ridiculously strict rules to remind them just who’ll get the final say on her big day.
“It’s NOT your day,” barked the South Carolina-based bride, kicking off her list of matrimonial mandates in an Instagram post. “Do what the bride asks or don’t be in the wedding.”
“It’s NOT your day,” she penned. “If the bride wants makeup or certain hair for everyone, and you don’t wear makeup — don’t be in the wedding.
“It’s usually the ones who scream, ‘I don’t want all that,’ who ends up looking less flattering than everyone else,” wrote the tyrannical brunette, “Now hair can be flexible if you have a specific style (locks, pixie cut, etc..).”
And the despotic diva’s demands do NOT end there.
She joins the ranks of the many ferocious fiancées who’ve imposed outlandish bylaws on the not-so-lucky friends they’ve deemed worthy enough (or the most malleable) to take part in their weddings.
One “unhinged” branded the girls in her bridal party, forcing them all to don golden necklaces embossed with her name during the ceremony.
Another nutty nearly-wed insisted that the members of her clique each take out a $20,000 loan to participate in her pre-wedding escapades. Her list of “non-negotiable” expenses included a $700 dress fitting in NYC, $1,200 beauty treatments, a $500 spa weekend in the Berkshires and $1,000 for miscellaneous primping and partying during the week of her hitching.
Katie Olson Hart, a Utah bride who walked down the aisle in July 2022, was rebuked for having an “Almond Mom wedding” after footage of her mandatory bridesmaid workout session reached viral infamy.
And the South Carolina bride is now enduring an eerily similar scolding from online protesters against her outrageous day-of ordinances.
“It’s NOT your day,” she echoed ahead of her third rule. “Act how you would want YOUR bridal party to act, IF it was your day.”
“It’s NOT your day. You look jealous when you object to every little thing, ESPECIALLY things you have NOT paid for,” she spat. “Be grateful or don’t be in the wedding.”
The bossy beauty went on to write, “You are TEAM BRIDE. If you would wish to act like anything less, switch to TEAM GUEST. Have a seat and throw rice (preferably uncooked).”
And, of course, her final must-do was all about the money.
“It’s NOT your day,” repeated the bride — who disabled her Instagram comments section, preventing onlookers from giving her a piece of their minds.
“If you can’t afford to be in the wedding, let the bride know up front,” she added. “Don’t accept and then penny pinch, ESPECIALLY if it’s one year or more out. Plan accordingly.”
Digital detractors, however, flocked to Reddit to unabashedly bash the soon-to-wed beneath a screenshot of her controversial calls to action.
“At least she’s giving everyone a daily chance to join TEAM NOT GOING,” quipped a commenter.
“So obnoxious. ‘It’s NOT your day, it’s MY day.’ That may be true, but who wants to celebrate someone with such a self-centered, arrogant attitude? You’re a bride for a day, not a queen who everybody should worship,” wrote another.
“She’s going to end up with no friends if she keeps this up,” predicted an equally offended Redditor.
“TEAM NOT EVEN SENDING A GIFT,” another yelped.
“This is absolutely insufferable,” said a cynic, who seemingly blames the recent wedding boom for the bride’s sense of superiority.
“A prime example of why wedding culture has become exhausting,” continued the jaded critic. “I could go on but l’m seething just reading this and want to log off.”
