31 Ridiculous Requests Couples Had for Their Wedding Parties

Though the worst way to get your ears pierced may be to let a visibly-annoyed Claire’s employee go at it with an earring gun, one angrily blushing bride decided to drag this low bar further into Hell, transforming her hotel room into a DIY piercing studio. 

Upon discovering that one of her bridesmaids couldn’t wear the designated earrings come the big day, the bride-to-be took matters into her own hands, demanding that her unpierced pal and another member of her wedding party head into the bathroom and get those earrings in — by hook or by crook. 

It’s unclear whether or not the bridesmaid in question battled any sort of infection following her hasty body modification, but she most certainly had some regrets. “I was in my early 20s at the time,” she recalled. “I’m pretty sure it’d be a different outcome if I was asked to do it today.”

This bride, however, is far from the only one who went full bridezilla come her wedding day. Here are the craziest requests bridesmaids and groomsmen faced for their friends, the wildest of which include “$500 pants,” mandatory hair dye and keeping secrets for decades to come.

turns31 8y ago Edited 8y ago My friend decided to get married at a resort in Aspen. We don't live in Colorado and he wasn't offering to pay for flight, hotel, tux, etc... for anyone except him and his wife. They were broke 23 year olds just like us. Neither parents had the money either. It was a noon wedding and a 2 hour reception immediately following. That's it. Everyone fly home. The bride and groom didn't even stay the night. Не got so mad at me when I told him we won't be able to make it. 5 years
MajorMustard 8y ago Outdoor wedding with no back up plan on the shores of lake Michigan. Pouring rain and wind but the happy couple requested no umbrellas because they wanted to be able to see the faces in the crowd. They were able to see the very wet and angry faces of people whose clothes were ruined while the bride and groom stayed dry under the gazebo. 6.2K ...
bearded_booty 8y ago In college I was a best man for a wedding where the bride demanded we all wear designer suits. I had to sell a guitar to afford just the rental. I had no money before, and after I had no money and one less guitar. Then at the reception the groom pulled me aside and told me it was my job as best man to make sure their marriage went well. I was supposed to check in and help them with marriage stuff to make sure they didn't get divorced. I looked him in the eye and

UncookedMarsupial 8y ago 500 dollar pants. After I refused the bride freaked because it made the wedding party uneven. Groom bought my pants, I wore them once, they divorced. Не seems a lot happier with his new wife. 4K ...
charmedistheone 8y ago My best friend asked me to dye my hair from blonde to brown, because her other bridesmaids all had brown hair and she wanted to be the only one with blonde hair. She did pay for me to get it done at a professional salon, so I didn't mind too much, and her photos did look amazing after. However, I definitely have a few friends who thought I was crazy for agreeing to that request. 2.6K ...
gabae168 . 8y ago . Edited 8y ago I'm from Asia and I went to college in US. I was SHOCKED when I found out that bridesmaids there have to pay for their own dresses. So if the bride told you to wear this specific dress from Vera Wang, you actually had to pay for it yourselves? And I think plane tickets (edit: for bridesmaids and groomsmen) are also not provided if it's a destination wedding. It's so bizarre. 2.3K ...
 8y ago I was the best man for my brother's wedding. I'll never forget the following directions he gave me: Hey ButcherJustLikeVlad, I need you to go put the flowers in the car, call the photographer, and find my suit; I'm going to go shotgun two beers while I take a shit. Not totally ridiculous, but it still makes me laugh. 4.4K ...
VictorianGasbubble 8y ago I'm a photographer and my cousin wanted me to shoot their wedding for free as a gift to them. Wedding was also on the other side of the country, and they wouldn't be paying for my flight or room. My pricing typically starts at a few grand and goes up. I was still willing to do it until my cousin wanted me to also throw in finished prints, 350 retouched pics...basically about $3k worth of photo work. Suddenly I came down with a case of something else to do that weekend, she still doesn't talk to me,
AWD_YOLO . 8y ago My best man had to hold / hover a 5 mini crown 1 over my head non stop for 40 long minutes of the ceremony, a feature of my brides's Greek Orthodox church tradition. The maid of honor visibly outperformed him, with half as many right / left arm switches. His shoulders burned for days. 1.1K ...
Gooperchickenface 8y ago Bridesmaid to my sister. She demanded that I grow my fringe (bangs) out months before because quote I don't want anyone's hair blowing in the wind, it all has to stay perfectly still. Also, i'm quite pale so she insisted I had to wear fake tan. I originally went bought a pale tan colour but the morning of the wedding she made me pile it on. It was pretty hot that day so subsequently, it stained my pale pink dress. Was still an amazing wedding regardless. Also, I like to think that when I get married I
gehenna_bob 8y ago Edited 8y ago I don't know that this is ridiculous or that I endured it, but I was asked to be the Maid of Honor. I'm a dude. A manly dude. She didn't really have any female friends...at least none she could count on, as her bachelorette party proved. We settled on the term Bridesknave. It was a beautiful wedding. EDIT: HOLY FRIJOLES I've never gotten more than like 8 upvotes before 2K ...
lorcam4 8y ago My future sister-in-law has made it very clear that she wants her bachelorette party to be a week in California. We live in New Jersey. That means I would have to take a week off from work, my husband would have to take a week off from work to stay with our children, I would have to pay for my airfare and hotel and all the weeks activities, and pay my share for her, since everyone knows the bride doesn't pay for anything on her bachelorette party. When I said I'd have to see if it's something
slapuwithafish 8y ago We went to their Jack & Jill bachelor/ette party in Atlantic City, on Labor Day Weekend. Cost a fortune for the room, he got pissed when I wouldn't gamble after paying for his steak dinner and expensive scotch, then got loaded, got into a fight at the nightclub and disappeared. Yeah we don't hang much anymore 1.4K ...
hulagirl4737 . 8 8y ago B I knew a woman who was a bridesmaid in a relatives wedding. She was married and had been trying to get pregnant for a while. Finally, her and her hubby got lucky and she conceived. The bridezilla got furious and kicked her out of the wedding because she would be pregant in the pictures. 3 months later, sadly, my friend miscarried. The bride called her with a response along the lines of good, well now you can be back in the wedding. Needless to say, she did nto even attend it. 535 ...
billbapapa 8y ago It was my wife who was one of the bridesmaids. The couple was way over sexed or trashy, I'm not sure which, but they wanted the entire wedding party to do a group pic in just their lingerie/boxers (except the bride and groom, of course) - she noped out of that but apparently the other two girls and the groomsmen went for it - they still did the pic anyhow. Then they wanted the groomsmen and maids to pair up and kiss for a picture - none of them knew each other. Apparently she was the only one who didn't. Then they
radiolyss e 8y ago a Edited 8y ago I was the maid of honor. She demanded I come pull weeds out of her parents yard a day or two before the wedding because the reception was at her parents house. I had already gone though multiple ridiculous requests the week leading up to the wedding, so this one I put my foot down and said no. Got through the wedding. No longer friends. She did send a gift when I got married. A center piece from HER wedding, that I had helped make.
LeiPewPew ОР 8y ago Edited 8y ago The bride bought us all earrings to wear on the day. I was met with a blank look when I told her the holes in my ears were closed over a while ago.. so one of the other bridesmaids (who happens to have quite a weak stomach for this kind of thing) and I went into the other room and re-pierced my ears. Edit: it was years ago and the morning of, and I was in my early 20's at the time. I'm pretty sure it'd be a different outcome if I was
ITMORON 8y ago I have two items to add: 1. Get told on Friday night that I am the best man for a Sunday wedding. That was a tough one as I had to come up with a toast and do all the rest of the shit. I managed to get good and drunk prior to the toast and still did a much better job than the bridesmaid who gace a VERY generic toast. 2. Just recently, friend of over 25 years tells me a week out that he is getting married in Vegas, I tell him I cannot make
 8y ago Edited 8y ago It was requested that I show the maid of honor I good time the night before the weeding day since she was from out of town, didn't know anyone and was in the same hotel as me. I ended up banging her. The wedding day was awkward as fuck because in all the pictures we were holding hands and looking like a couple, but the whole time I did NOT want a relationship with her. Lots of you two are next comments from the other bridesmaids. Haven't talked to her since. Edit: added a
melishi 8y ago My friend forced her entire bridal party to write a speech for the rehearsal dinner. I couldn't enjoy the dinner, I was so nervous, but managed to sputter something out after 3 glasses of wine. Some of the others were so uncomfortable, they were either a few seconds long or had uncomfortable moments of silence. She also wanted the bridesmaids to perform a dance routine. I noped out of that one though.. For our wedding, we wanted everyone to enjoy themselves. Knowing my sister and his brother would be so nervous, we said no one had to
hertz037 8y ago My girlfriend was supposed to be a bridesmaid for a friend, but we found out about a week or two before the wedding that my girlfriend's mom who lived in the same state as the wedding (not where we live) was terminally ill and didn't have much time left. We decided to spend that weekend with mom instead, and not once did the friend ask how my girlfriend was doing, if she needed anything, nothing. Just pestered her for the dress which my girlfriend bought so her replacement could wear it. Way to throw away a friendship...
 8y ago Maid of Honor to my sisters wedding. She asked me if I could sleep with her husband Best Man. In her words, Jake's saying he wont go unless there is a guarantee lay for him. I know your single and everything... I thought it was a joke at first. It wasnt. I of course said no. Surprise, Jake still showed up as Best Man without the promised booty. And boy was I glad I said no, because this guy was 300+ lbs of greasy hair and an odor that could only be described as diabetic piss. 595
 . 8y ago e Edited 8y ago The bride insisted that all the groomsmen be clean shaven for the wedding. Every single groomsman was a burly, mountain man looking guy who had been rocking a beard for years. We all argued to keep our beards, the groom even argued for us, but she was insistent that the pictures be beard free. We all sucked it up and shaved, and we all look so stupid in those pictures. None of us look anything like what we look like in real life, and a couple of the guys even had beard
 8y ago My buddy was forced to use a lot of his wife's family as his groomsmen, but they started to drop out more of his friends, my self included stepped in as replacements. All things were cool with him, but she was a typical bridezilla. It was during the photos that it all went real crazy. During one pic her and my buddy were taking a kissing pic and decided that all the bridesmaids and groomsmen needed to be doing the same. So despite much objection we all had to kiss these girls we didn't really know, and
 8y ago I asked cousin (best man) not to fuck his date at the wedding. Не was a Marine at the time and insisted on wearing his dress blues, my wife wanted all the groomsmen to match. Не made me pay for his tux rental and pick it up. Не was dating the woman he is married to now back on base but had lined up a buffet of women to cheat with while he was back home for the wedding (literally one a day). Time rolls around for him to give his speech and no one can find

tbobbs 8y ago The wedding never went ahead, but bride wanted a burlesque-themed wedding, with bridesmaids dressed up in corsets, pencil skirts and kitten heels. I'm kind of glad they changed their minds to get married. 299 ...
abenaki7 8y ago I was in an outdoor wedding. In Cleveland. In March. It snowed. We spent the morning of the wedding chipping several inches of ice off the space where the ceremony was to take place. The pictures turned out really cool though. 275 ...
Kingdededoom 8y ago Was groomsman. Request was to learn the entirety of the single ladies dance for when the..single ladies gathered to catch the bouquet. Friend called or texted every few days have you started practicing the routine? We thought he was kidding the whole time like yeah I have hours, beyonce level talent and not to mention...the interest to do that shit. Was lucky enough to be in the bathroom when the song came on. I don't think it happened. 273 ...
Aero222 8y ago Friend who was a bridesmaid. She had to pay for bride's share of bachelorette trip to Cancun along with her own share. Pay for her own dress. Pay for her share of the make up for the bride's wedding. Then when it was her turn to get married and their roles were switch. The bride complained about paying for the exact same things! EDIT: They went to Disneyland instead of Cancun. More fun and cheaper. 264 ...
