BRIDESMAIDS That Went TOO FAR - REACTION

Hey there! I’m the bride who found my bridesmaid on Facebook. Just to clarify, they didn’t ALL drop out at once 😂 one dropped out about a year before and I was able to replace her a few months later. Another one had a family emergency about 6 months before and I found it as no big deal and just let it be. Then the last one dropped out due to financial reasons and I didn’t want my wedding party to look small and sad so I went to Facebook 😂 but hey she’s my best friend now and I have no regrets! Love this video and completely agree with all the reactions! You should more!

My wife's maid of honour was her best friend from school. When my wife had her stroke (before I met her) her maid of honour was there for her, making 100 mile round trips to visit her in hospital. When my wife came of of hospital hemiparuplegic and with aphasia her friend continued to treat her no different than before her stroke. The only exception is when they have a girl's night out, her MoH makes sure my wife remains vertical. She supported my wife all through the arrangements for the wedding and continues to be a great friend for my wife. I owe my wife's MoH more than I can ever repay her, there’s some amazing friends and MoH out there as well as the poo ones.

I had an odd experience with my bridesmaid once. I had noticed my husband was acting weird before the garter removal/toss, but thought it was just the idea of going under my dress in front of the crowd. Right after he came out with the garter and tossed it, my bridesmaid got super upset, stomped away, and left the reception. When I asked what was going on, she had apparently talked to and convinced my husband that instead of pulling the garter out from under my wedding dress, that it would be hilarious to pull out a gigantic pair of underwear that she had sewn together and covered in stains. At the last minute he (thankfully) changed his mind. She was upset, because she had spent “so much time” creating this masterpiece of humiliation and he had chosen not to follow through.

An acquaintance had her wedding, I of course didn't know her well enough to be invited, but she had very few female friends. So two thirds of her Bridesmaids were men. The men all decided to go to a drag venue and they managed to get the performers to lend them wigs, dresses, shoes and do their make-up for them. It looked like Pricilla: Queen of the Desert. I saw the photo's and it was hilarious.

One of my bridesmaids, who is a lifelong friend, couldn't afford her dress or getting her hair done, so my hubby & I covered the cost, discreetly. It meant more to me to have her there and with what a wedding costs, even a small one, what was another $100 or so??? We didn't miss the money but I'd have missed one of my dearest friends if she wasn't standing up there with me!

I was asked to be in a wedding as a bridesmaid, and the bride had 'A' as her maid of honour. The Bride and 'A' had known one another since they were children, the other two bridesmaids worked with the Bride, and I was a new friend, but we spent a LOT of time together hanging out, me, the Bride, and her soon-to-be-hubby. 'A' disliked me, thought I shouldn't be a bridesmaid because I (and she literally said this to me), "Hadn't earned my place as a friend yet" and "hadn't been friends with Bride long enough to even stand up there with the rest of us." I kept the peace and said nothing. But, we would go out for lunch while dress shopping, and I'd pick up the Bride's tab (she was buying things for us, I didn't want her paying for lunch), and during dress shopping, 'A' hated every dress/colour the Bride picked, and fought all her wants. The other 3 of us were easy-going, I already had a general idea of what she wanted, having spent time at her place and helping her look online. By the time we picked dresses, 'A' had threatened twice to not be in the wedding if she couldn't have a different dress or colour from the rest of us, because she hated everything. The Bride called her bluff, turned and asked me if I would be MOH, which sent 'A' on a rampage, and she stormed outside and literally screamed. She stayed in the wedding, but helped with none of the planning. The rest of us did it all, because I think 'A' just wanted the title for having known the Bride the longest. They don't speak anymore.

I was MOH in my best friend’s wedding. It was a month after I lost my mom so she told me that she would understand if I couldn’t make it and her 2 cousins offered to stand in for me. Even though it was a rough time for me, I knew that I made a commitment to my best friend and I wanted to follow through with that and be there to share her special day. Also, my mom absolutely loved my bestie and would’ve wanted me to be there for her. A couple weeks before the wedding she asked for a picture of my mom for her memorial table and I gave her my granny’s ring to wear for the something old and something borrowed tradition. She is truly the best friend I’ve ever had and I’d do anything for her that I’m able to.

When my best friend got married it was a destination wedding and I live paycheck to paycheck her and her husband both told me not to worry about any of the costs except for paying the alterations for the dress that they already bought so everyone had to pay $300 a person to stay at the house overnight for the wedding except me her husband straight up said don’t worry about Christina all that matters is that she’s there

Charlotte, it is so awesome to hear you say "my boyfriend". Do you know how happy you look?!?lol so happy for you both 😝

I was in school, local and regional theater groups most of my early life. None of us had any money so when someone in our company got married so we used our local theater to hold the ceremony. We all came together and did whatever was needed to make the day special. We made all the food, the wedding cake, flowers, photographs etc. We dug into the costume departments vault for clothes and each wedding was themed. We had pirate weddings, prison weddings, West Side Story wedding and "free for all" weddings where people dressed as their favorite character. We took 90% of tradition and BS out of the wedding and just had a great day.

when my best friend got married, we worked out the dates together so I could be there. She just gave us a color for the dress and let us spend what we could. My husband and I had to fly half way across the world so they let us stay at their house, paid for groceries and the rehearsal dinner for us to help off set the cost of us flying out to be there. I was a bridesmaid (not maid of honor because I could not help plan anything). everyone helped out by driving us to places we needed to be at and what not so we didn't have to rent a car. It was so sweet how everyone in the wedding party tried to make it easier for us. Our plane tickets were over $1000.

I've been a bridesmaid a few times but only once was I a 'stand-in' bridesmaid. My good friend was planning a small wedding with her sisters as her MOH and bridesmaids. The bridesmaid dresses were being handmade by the sisters, two of the sisters loved it and one didn't, she wanted it to be tailored to her taste and said if it wasn't changed, she was out. My friend asked if I would replace her sister as a bridesmaid, of course I said yes. The dress was stunning, fit me like a glove and everything went off smoothly. The sister who didn't like the dress, came up to me and said "if I knew the dress was going to look like that, you wouldn't be here." I told her "I'd still be here, my friends are important to me and I wouldn't let them down, especially not because of something petty like what you did. Thanks btw, I love the dress".

Every time i watch one of your videos about messed up weddings, it makes me want to just get hitched at a town hall and not have a ceremony at all

My heart is so full hearing about the stranger becoming a bridesmaid. That was so damn sweet, and I hope those two become lifelong friends.

I got asked to be MoH as a backup choice because the bride fell out with her first choice. I couldn’t do it from hundreds of miles away and told her so, and basically got the silent treatment and any interaction since then has been strained and full of attitude on her part. We were there for each other for some seriously dark stuff, but my honesty and distance made me a bad friend in the end. That’s okay. Some people are only meant to be around for a season.

My husband and I got married 15 years ago and we were paying for most of it ourselves so it was a very small, inexpensive wedding. I have 2 younger siblings (7 & 8 years younger than me) that I wanted to be a part of the wedding but knew they wouldn't be able to afford to buy a dress or rent a tux as they were only 15 & 14 years old at the time, and I didn't want my parents to have to pay for them as they had already been very kind with paying for part of the wedding. So I made my sister my MOH and she wore her beautiful dress she had bought for semi-formal at school that fit with our colours and I based my bridesmaids dresses off of something similar yet different so she could stand out and not have to pay anything for her dress or shoes, and our tux rental place had a special where, if you rent 4 tuxs, you get the 5th rental free, so we paid for my husbands rental and gave the free one to my brother as he was walking me down the aisle. We also used my old flower girl dress, from when I was around 5 years old & my mom married my other dad, for our 4 year old daughter to wear down the aisle as our flower girl (or Princess as she made everyone call her that day 😂🥰). The other bridesmaids ended up needing to pay for their dresses ($75, and I’ve seen them each wear them since then, which was one of my goals when looking for a dress for them), whatever black shoes they wanted, and their hair & makeup, and my sister/MOH just needed to pay for her hair and makeup. My mom was grateful we didn’t pile on extra costs to her like we could have for both of my siblings, both of them were happy with what they were wearing, and I was incredibly happy and thankful that they were a part of my special day and that they wanted to be a part of it ❤️

Charlotte's eventual wedding is going to be the best one ever because everyone will be petrified to be featured in a video 😂😂

My moms 2nd wedding, my aunt was getting ready and the hair stylist put little amber colored flower pins in her hair. She was upset. So, she replaced them with basic Bobby pins. She then put the flower pins in my hair and I loved them. She did my makeup and, the makeup under my eyes was so light. But, the lady said my under eyes were really dark at the time. She asked if I was ok I said yeah I was crying cause I wish my grandma was there. The lady doing the hair did a shot with me. I loved her.

When my brother and his fiance married in 2004, his fiance asked me to be a bridesmaid but she did say I'd need to buy my own dress as money was tight and I would've been the only adult bridesmaid (they'd already been together 12 years and we were very close). I was thrilled to be asked but I had to politely say no as I had a young son and i was not working. We both were completely understanding of each other and it wasn't a problem. I still went out dress shopping with her for the bridal gown and the dresses for the young bridesmaids, and helped with everything she needed. It was a beautiful wedding and just being there to help out made us both, and my brother, very happy x

Reading all these stories about bridesmaids who couldn't afford their expenses for the wedding (dresses, venue seating, etc) makes me even more grateful for my sister. I was about 14-15 I think when my second older sister had her wedding and since she knew I had no money and our parents were in a tight spot at the time, she covered my bridesmaid dress and my seat at the venue for her wedding. Never even said anything other than "Don't worry about it". It was a beautiful day and I'm still so grateful she did that so I could be involved ❤
