Here at Women’s Weekly, we’ve heard our fair share of bridezilla stories. From ordering bridesmaids to gain weight, to forcing them to dye or grow their hair for the occasion, it’s safe to say there are plenty of highly strung brides-to-be out there.
Website Gawker seem to have found their queen, however, after a bridesmaid leaked a series of emails from her friend and bride-to-be.
According to the published extract, the bride sent some “ground rules” over to her chosen bridesmaids, so they’d be clued up about what she expects from them.
Fair enough, you might think. It’s good to know where you stand.
However the ten point plan is enough to give even the Regina George’s of this world a run for their money. These are a lesson in Mean Girl marriage.
“Weigh-ins will begin in 3 weeks,” reads point number one. “I for one would really like some time after Thanksgiving to make my body forget about what it consumed, so I thought I would give you guys some cushion room.”
“2.No-one can be skinner than the bride. That means Kelly and Lizzie will be on a protein weight gainer diet exclusively until May. I will have the nutritionist call you to discuss diet plans.
3.Bed times leading up to the wedding will be strictly enforced. I absolutely cannot have you all have saggy, baggy eyes. I am sure you all understand.
4.Swimwear attire: I would like everyone to wear matching bikinis that have rhinestones on the tushie spelling out “maids,” which brings me to my next point.
5.All bikinis leading up to the wedding must be strapless bandeaus. I cannot have terrible tan lines in strapless dresses.
6.Sunscreen: We need to make sure you ladies look lovely and radiant and not red and reptile like. Pack accordingly.
7.Speeches: We all know what happened at Taylor’s wedding. So if you plan to make a toast, please submit it for approval and revision, no later than 4 weeks prior to the wedding.
8.Hair cuts: If you plan on chopping off your locks, please submit your proposed new look prior to any actions (this applies to coloring as well).
9.Attendance: is strongly requested at all events but I will make some exceptions on a case by case basis.
10.Ink: Consider this a moratorium on future tattoos until June 5th. Those of you with visible artwork will be privately contacted with (temporary) removal instructions.”
All bridesmaids were expected to conform to the rules
To make matters worse, in a series of follow up emails, the bride chastises various bridesmaids for violating her rules (some of them cut and coloured their hair.)
“I am preferential to blonde hair (with the exception of Lizzie & Holly who I think are better with darker locks) and seeing as I liked her better as a blonde goddess, it was approved. Had she asked for bangs as well, she would have been denied. Holly, please feel free to come down to Miami and we can go see O.”
One bridesmaid, who goes by the name of Chloe, even gets put on probation for her hair styling ways, after she cuts a fringe in. But it gets worse.
“I was thinking that we should start a daily google docs, where everyone can update in real time their daily calorie content. Due to exams, I have not been the very best at requesting our weekly weigh-ins but thought the food calculator would be a great way for me to monitor everyone’s caloric in take. Thoughts?”
The demands became increasingly full-on in the run up to the wedding, which the email source says was a beautiful occasion, despite the bride’s nature.
