They had the expensive 75k wedding. Afterwards they split and it turned out the bride never turned in the paperwork to make their marriage legal. The groom didn’t even know he wasn’t married until he wanted to file for a divorce. The bride never returned the gifts either even though they never even got married. She’d just lied to everyone about it… Idk how many people know she never got married.

My cousin was married to one. He comes from a very not wealthy area, and has become successful himself after moving out of his hometown. His wife was extremely wealthy, even could say excessively. They married after a year of knowing each other, and boy was it a surprise to hear about the wedding plans. They spent +250K on the wedding, including catering by 5-7 different restaurants. Their food was from different cultures and cooked in front of you (think almost hibachi buffet style). They even had servers in tailed suits and white gloves serving taco bell after midnight once everyone was drunk. Once they got married, she was spending more money than he could make. She was getting mad because he wasn’t making enough, while she wasn’t working and they hadn’t had kids. They got divorced, and she gave him the ultimatum of getting his ring back or keeping the dog. He kept the dog. Her sister, a lawyer, helped her file a restraining order on him and they haven’t spoken since. Fuck her, but man did he dodge a bullet.

Gf’s former friend was a bridezilla. Didn’t smile once at her own wedding because she was too busy freaking out over insignificant details.
Although she has a master’s degree with unpaid college loans, she’s now a permanent stay at home mom, an anti-vaxxer, and a conspiracy theorist. She spends her days getting into Facebook beefs with anyone who isn’t “woke” enough. No idea how her husband hasn’t gone crazy, cause as far as I know he’s not into any of that.

She had sex with a bunch of my friends, including my ex wife.

My sister was a Bridezilla. She announced a 2 year engagement and asked me to be MOH. Then I got the opportunity to move across the country to pursue my career. It was 18 months before her wedding and her reaction to the news was “You’re going to leave me here to plan my wedding all by myself?” Like I had signed away my right to have a life for the Honor of being in her wedding. She made us all spend hundreds of dollars on specialized dresses, the bachelorette party had a dress code and a steep price tag. For 10 years before her engagement I had consistently had blue/green/purple hair but knowing she is conservative I let the color grow out. I had natural color but a short bob with undercut that she went on about. In the lead up we talked every few days to discuss her wedding it was the closest we’d ever been and then as soon as she was married I got radio silence, and she even forgot my Birthday. Needles to say we don’t speak anymore so I have no idea how her marriage is going.

Divorce, my army buddies said they could see it coming, I am easy going enjoy almost everything, and she was upset after what looked like a perfect wedding. She later said she wanted a smaller wedding.
I don’t talk to her or read emails and texts from her. Full of anger and spite, and I tell her so usually in a reply.
Last year her tax return was deposited in my bank account, and I contacted her to ask for account details so I could transfer it to her. I got a three page email about how if I spent anything she would have lawyers go after me. So I mailed a check to her, the slowest way possible.

Been married 14 years.
She’s definitely a pain in the ass sometimes but so is everyone else. I’m also pretty laid back so a lot of decisions I leave to her because I just don’t care. If it’s a decision I do care about, I make the decision.
Without her, I wouldn’t have the 3 best kids on earth. She’s an amazing mom and our kids have our best qualities. We have fun all the time.
I think she was a bridezilla not because she was a crazy person, it was more about making the moment right for everyone and making it a great memory. She had a relatively rough life with her parents and there weren’t a ton of great memories. I notice she goes waaaaay out of her way to make great memories for the kids as she’s always planning stuff for us to do with them.
I’m gonna keep her.

Ex-fiancee was super normal until we got engaged. She went from small simple wedding with less than 100 guests to grand hall and wanting to invite everyone she ever exchanged more than three words with. She wanted to import flowers. Made no sense. The final straw was when she scheduled an appointment with a real estate agent to SELL MY HOUSE to pay for the wedding. Also, her family was loaded but wasn’t going to contribute anything. Broke it off. She got engaged again 1 yr later to an attorney and didn’t read the prenup before signing. They got married and divorced 1 month later. She got nothing and is still alone.

My cousin was an unbelievable Bridezilla. About a year after their horrifying wedding, her husband convinced her to seek help for her mental health. 5 years later, she’s in a much better place and they’re happy. Just in case anyone wanted a happy story ☺️
