Bride is SLAMMED after she made her wedding party work

by · Mail Online

A bride has been met with a wave of backlash after she put her wedding party to work during her special day and had them act as waiters and janitors. 

A wedding guest took to Reddit to unleash a fiery rant about the newlywed in a thread titled, 'Wedding Shaming.' 

The anonymous attendee - who was the plus-one of a groomsman - branded the bride 'tacky' as she lamented about her demands. 

She confessed that 'three days before the wedding,' the lovebirds sent an email to their wedding party in which they revealed that they hadn't contracted any outside services so they expected the bridesmaids, groomsmen and their plus ones to take care of 'serving' the guests, taking out the trash and cleaning the bathrooms. 

The shocking post sparked furious outrage online as people on the web branded the 'bridezilla' 'tasteless' and 'greedy.'

The post was titled: 'Bride and groom make wedding party serve food to the guests, bartend, and serve as bathroom attendants.'

The unnamed guest admitted that everything seemed relatively normal in the weeks leading up to the wedding, adding that the bride and groom had a 'quiet' engagement. 

However, as it inched closer to the special day, guests received a shocking email. 

'Three days before the wedding, an email to the wedding party outlined that no outside services were contracted and that the wedding party of 10, along with their plus-ones would be expected to host the wedding in its entirety, including: Set up & tear down of the venue, including the sound system, place settings, game booths, and a floral arch. 

'Serving food to the guests, bartending and serving as bathroom attendants. Ensuring garbage bins were emptied regularly and bathrooms cleaned once per hour during the reception,' she said. 

In addition to the demands set forth in their email, the bride and groom also sent their wedding party an extremely detailed and 'bonkers' itinerary. 

She added: 'Access to the venue just 1.5 hours before the scheduled photoshoot. Needless to say, not everything was ready and arriving guests had to roll up their sleeves to make it happen, delaying the ceremony for over an hour, and wedding photos revealed shiny foreheads & wrinkled shirts from the group’s efforts to make an entire wedding happen in under two hours.

'After the ceremony, the wedding party took off to a separate location for photos and guests were left alone to fend for themselves without anyone to man the cash bar.

'A charcuterie table and a selection of juices were left out, along with some lawn games and folks had to entertain themselves for over an hour.' 

In addition to making them work throughout the ceremony, the guest revealed that those attending the wedding were miserable as the wedding party was separated from their plus-ones.  

She explained: 'Comfort of the guests was not a consideration, as the outdoor ceremony had no cover from weather, and guests were asked to carry their chairs from the ceremony site across a farm field to the barn where the reception was held.

'Plus-ones of the wedding party were not welcome for the entire day and had to drop their spouses off in the morning and entertain themselves for five hours before getting themselves to the venue to help set up. 

'I have been married for 10 years, but there were two new dates who didn’t know anyone and were now volun-told to show up and wait tables?! 

'These poor souls were then seated apart from their dates for dinner, as the head table was reserved for the wedding party only. As an introvert I deeply resented this, but at least I was familiar with some of the guests.' 

And, she made it clear that the bride and groom didn't put their wedding party to work because they couldn't afford it. 

She explained that the groom was very 'wealthy', adding that he made enough that his partner didn't have to work. 

People on the web were stunned to hear about the disaster wedding and flocked to the comments section to slam the couple

'Before anyone considers that perhaps the couple could not afford a wedding, the groom is wealthy enough that the bride does not work. 

'This couple did not even pitch in when it was clear that the party was falling apart; they just expected to show up and enjoy the party,' she said. 

At the end of the post, she mocked the newlyweds for their 'tasteless cash grabs'. 

She wrote: 'Other gems included: several tasteless cash grabs and no electronics on the threat of being asked to leave so that the couple could enjoy exclusive content for their failed YouTube channel.' 

People on the web were stunned to hear about the disaster wedding and flocked to the comments section to slam the couple. 

One person said: 'I cannot believe multiple people went along with this nonsense. I would have noped out of there so fast.

'I just declined an invite to what would almost certainly have been a similar undertaking for a wedding overseas. Destination wedding and bridezilla isn't a winning combo lol.'

Another user added: 'The sheer audacity. Tasteless and tacky. And, yeah, in my case, they had enough money to shell out for vendors but chose not to, too.'

Someone else wrote: 'It's greedy, selfish, entitled people doing what such people do.'

'What a great way to ensure that none of your friends or family ever speak to you again,' added one user.
