On your wedding day, presumably you’ve got a lot on your mind. You’re getting married! You’re going to have so much fun! Maybe you’re worried a family member is going to act like a jerk. Maybe the flowers aren’t there yet. But it’s all good.
One Redditor, though, couldn’t seem to get over the fact that one of the servers at the venue was wearing eyeliner. And a nose ring. And her pants were too tight! The bride was so irate about the whole situation she threatened to call the cops. Talk about an overreaction and then some.
“I(25f) and my Husband (30M) and I got married last Friday. We planned our dream wedding down to our dream catering company. The wedding was beautiful after the pictures we headed to our cocktail hour, and that’s when I saw her. My guest were all told to wear dark colors so my husband and I stood out, I also asked my guests to wear minimal makeup. I had assumed that applied to the staff too,” the OP writes.
“The server(19ishf) had on clearly too much eyeliner. She also had diamond studs in her ears a flashy ring, and one of those ugly nose studs. The staff’s uniform was a black long-sleeved shirt but on her, it was too low cut and her pants were far too tight. It was super distracting. She was walking around serving drinks and talking to my guests. I asked another member of the staff to speak to their boss. When their boss came out I pointed out the server and asked that she be dealt with cause she was super distracting. Their boss apologized and called the server back into the kitchen.”
“Not even an hour later the server was back out serving food for dinner. I called the boss over again and asked if the server could work in the back or go home. Her boss said they were short-staffed tonight so she would see what can be done. After a couple of hours of not seeing her, I saw the server again behind the bar. I called the boss out one last time and told her if the server didn’t leave I would be calling the cops. The boss finally relented and told the girl to go home.”
“My husband and mother-in-law said I was acting crazy and that I probably got a poor college kid fired over nothing. My mother and MOH said it’s my wedding so I can do as I please. It’s my wedding and I don’t want someone over-shining me and the server should know she’s at work and not dress up so much. I do feel kind of bad because she was pretty young. Am I the a*s.”
This woman sounds so delusional. Redditors pretty much agree that her behavior was over-the-top, unhinged, and cruel.
“She threatened to call the police! Because a person turned up for and did their job. Could you imagine that conversation!! In what universe would the police turn up to arrest a person for doing their job while wearing jewelry and checks notes having boobs…” summed up
“OP spent her own wedding freaking out that a young server in a uniform may have outshined her. What a waste of energy,” said
“Yta, too bad you didn’t get to enjoy your wedding reception because you couldn’t stop obsessing over a college aged server. The things that you objected to in the server could have been fixed – she could have removed her jewelry, the boss could have given her a shirt that covered her better. But you didn’t want it fixed, you chose to complain about her and not the offending items. This was entirely your choice to not enjoy yourself,” explained
“OP honestly sounds unhinged. She threatened to call the police because one of the servers was…wearing jewellery and a low cut top? I’m sick of people using the old ‘it’s my day’ line to justify treating people like sh*t at their wedding,” said
“Who spends so much energy on their wedding day because a server was wearing ‘too much eyeliner’ and earings? YTA You need therapy, this is not normal,” observed
“Imagine telling all your guests what to wear and how much makeup to put on just so you’ll ‘stand out.’ Even without the server situation OP was already an asshole just for that. YTA,” said
