Worst Bridezilla of all time sends epic email to bridesmaids

Oct, 05, 2012 | AUTHOR: Lynn Cinnamon; | Related : News, Weddings

Weddings can often be more stressful than they are lovely, especially if you’ve been chosen to be in the wedding party and suddenly have to shell out money that you could be paying down your student loans with, or paying for basic necessities, to buy ugly dresses and trips to Vegas. Even if you’re swimming in cash, you still have to carve out time in your already busy schedule for all the planning and activities.

Many brides know this, and although they sometimes can’t keep at bay their inner ‘zillas, they can be understanding and thoughtful toward their bridal party. Or at the very least, try to not insult them.

A fed-up bridesmaid sent Gawker an email from a bride who doesn’t just suspect the world revolves around her wedding, she knows it. Her wedding date is August 2013, and in the email she demands her bridesmaids and grooms to let her know of ANY time they have ANYTHING planned between next February and August of 2013 in case she wants to schedule any of her pre-wedding parties during that time. Oh, and since you’ve been asked nicely to go ahead and schedule your entire 2013 by next Wednesday, if you can’t make any of these parties you’re out of the wedding party, which is a very exclusive club for only special people. So if you can’t afford a trip to Vegas for the bachelorette party, you’re out!

Other ways you can be out? Not being able to afford a dress, not picking up when she calls, or not replying to a wedding email within 2-3 days.

To lovely Bridesmaid:

As you all know I picked 10 wonderful ladies to stand by my side, share and make happen my special day to Jake. Each of you individually have a reason and a special place in my heart of why I picked you to be a bridesmaid. We have set our date for Saturday, August 31, 2013 in Vail, Colorado. That seems far away but it really isn’t, the earlier the planning the better. You may have already knew that my wonderful sister L— will be the Maid of Honor, she’s in charge under me. Also my lovely mom will be a big help as well. L— has a big role in throwing me a bridal shower and bachelorette party, of course all of you guys do but at the end of the day shes the go to person and makes it happen.

You all have a big roll in this wedding, so before we continue I’m going to be setting some ground rules and its very important you read and think about everything through before you accept this honor to be a bridesmaid. If you guys email anything I would also like you to put L— in the CC. Not all the bridesmaid need to be CC’d unless its coming from me or L—, if it something everyone needs to see then well do it. We set the date to August 31, 2013 if that’s a problem we need to know NOW. Also by the end of the week we will be setting dates for the engagement party, bridal show and bachelorette party.

Our wedding party is really the most important people at the wedding besides my self and Jake so we want every single one of our bridesmaid and grooms at our parties, I have 10 not 8 where two couldn’t make it so if you already know you cant make one of the parties then we have to find someone else, not to be harsh in the slightest it would sadden me and of course you’ll still be invited to our wedding, engagement ect. But it’s different if your not in the wedding party and couldn’t make it. We’ll give everyone well advance dates for the parties and it will always fall on a weekend. The wedding as I stated will be in Vail the engagement party will either be in NY or CT and the bachelorette party will be in Vegas, cliche yeaa but I’ve never been.

A few girls live out of town so if there is going to be a problem with coming to either one then I need to know now because after this week I don’t want to be surprised. I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away after February so if your going away in January I don’t care. I want any dates from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away. But after this week the dates are set in stone. Also if money is tight and you cant afford to contribute to say the bachelorette party or wont be able to afford a dress etc then L— and Myself don’t have time to deal with that, I’m sorry. This includes flights as well, everyone knows the states where the parties are going to be held so if you wont be able to afford a flight then that means you cant make a party which ultimately means I cant have you as a bridesmaid. Obviously we’ll get the best deals and were not gonna books flights for $1000 and shit that’s why were doing this in advance, that goes for bridesmaids dresses as well everything will be affordable but if you think by affordable its going to be a $25 forever 21 dress then your going to the wrong wedding.

If your out of state though don’t think you have to fly in for all fittings, that we will work with you, find stores in your town, get measurements..you don’t have to worry about that. Also if you accept this honor another thing is that you need to be available, I’m not going to harass you with wedding stuff every hour of everyday but if its something important and it takes you a week even 2-3 days to get back to me seeeee ya! I don’t have time to wait around for responses, everyone has their phone on them, it shouldn’t take you more than a day to get back to me, even if your out of the country, check your email!

Furthermore, Ever since I could remember I have dreamed about this day all my life. I want to share it with the people that are most important to me. You only get one time to plan your dream wedding and I couldn’t pick a more amazing group of girls to make that dream come true! So please, what’s stated above think about it all and by Wednesday I need to know if everyone is 100% in, and what I have asked about sending me dates if your gonna be away between Feb-Aug ill need that on Wednesday. If you don’t think you’ll be able to attend one party but can make the rest of them I’m sorry but I’ll have to take you out as a bridesmaid and put you as a guest. If you want to get back to me before Wednesday, that’s fine. Really think about everything I’ve said. This is really going to be the most epic wedding ever so I hope you girls can share this special day with us!

Love,

Sounds like being just a guest would be a promotion rather than a downgrade to this epic wedding. On second thought, I have something on August 31, 2013, can you maybe reschedule this wedding? Let me know by Wednesday. I’m epic at weddings, and I hope you can share your special day with me.

WOW.I’m so glad I had a small wedding..
Savannah

I hope all 10 “chosen ones” said no. I sure as hell would. Holy crap, who does this chick think she is?
Lola

It’s “you’re” as in YOU ARE. If this bitch is going to pretend to be classy for 6 months of the next year, she needs to head back to school. *fingers crossed she’s marrying money*

  It’s also “you all have a big ROLE,” not ROLL. Spell check, lady!

    How about “you may have already knew” right in the opening remarks?

Please. I know some women are nuts, but I’m so tired of hearing about “bridezillas”. I had a bridesmaid from hell, should have submitted those emails informing me she would be staying in the hotel room next to mine so we can “compete” on the wedding night, repeatedly telling me that her internet boyfriend of the week hates my husband, refusing to wear anything that didn’t fit into her “goth” style and harassing me that she HAD to dye her hair purple for the wedding.

  Sounds like a girl I went to high school with. The bride specially chose dresses that would match her (extremely visible and poorly done) tattoos, then she went out and got more that clashed very badly with the dress. THEN refused to wear either a wrap or coverup makeup (that the bride offered to pay for) She wouldn’t help the bride with anything, even though she was the only bridesmaid who lived in town and she knew that the bride was doing everything on her own since her fiancee was deployed and her parents refused to acknowledge the union.
  
  At the NEXT wedding, she was asked to be a reader and decided that wearing a dress the exact same color as the bridesmaids with the same color coverup was appropriate.
  
  And let’s now forget the two weddings where she brought a date even though she wasn’t offered a plus one (both were small weddings where the couple was paying for everything themselves and really couldn’t afford a lot of extra guests) Not only was she not dating either one of the guys, one of them was actually in a relationship with a completely different woman.
  
  At the last wedding I went to, one of the male readers decided to take it upon himself (definitely unasked-the bride only puts up with his boorish behavior because he’s friends with the groom) to be the announcer at the reception and give a toast….the longest, most rambling and boring toast given, while the bride tried her level best to kill him with a look.
  
  And my friends wonder why I keep threatening to elope!
ashley

Please tell me this is fake!
Courtney

If she’s rich enough to have such an extravagant wedding (and the pre-wedding events), she ought to take a class and learn how to spell and use grammar. IDIOT.
jeff

Sounds fake to me.

It actually didn’t sound SO crazy. I was waiting to read an “epic” email and this was just bitchy. I thought it was going to say things SO rude and outrageous like, must weight a certain weight or something! This is just a demanding bride with a huge ego, but not so crazy that articles need to be written about it!

I sent regular email newsletters to my maids but they were funny & meant to help them all bond a bit as they didn’t already all know each other. I didn’t make any demands on anyone (other than that they had to talk to me if they were having any problems with scheduling or money so I could work something out because I didn’t want to lose any of them) & thy all said they loved the newsletters because they made them laugh!

As someone who had a bridesmaid not come to the reception because she had other things to do… this seems reasonable to me.
- blah
  
  I don’t think that making your bridesmaids send the iternity of their life for a complete 6 months is reasonable… or that they must goto vegas(not everyone has money)… I do agree about the actually wedding date itsself though but her email was just downright rude. Personally I hope they all drop out of the wedding and she can deal with that since shes such a bitch
realitybites4real

That is the funniest email I have ever seen. Did she even read this before sending it — grammar is awful! I agree, being a guest would be favored over being “honored” as one of her bridesmaids. Oooh, I would love to read the responses she got!
- micro OP
  
  I know! I really wish the person who sent gawker the email also sent them her response.
micro OP

so funny! It just seems like she doesn’t have that meaningful of a relationship with these 10 ladies. I would never need to send an email like that to my friends because my dear friends would do everything they could to make all of the events.

Now that she’s set the date for the nuptials, I wonder when the date is for the inevitable divorce…who could put up with someone like that forever?!!?
JessaFields

Let’s hope she was drunk, or taking Ambien, when she wrote this. The spelling, grammar and punctuation are atrocious!
Bridezillas: they do exist!
