Planning your wedding can be so much fun — until you have to pull out your wallet. Then wedding planning becomes just a wee but stressful. But one bride-to-be isn’t willing to let a little thing like a hefty price tag keep her down.
Instead, she’s decided to go full force to get her dream wedding, even if that means quitting her job to have more time to plan and asking her fiancé to pick up more work to pay for their big day. Makes perfect sense — right?
A copy of the determined bride's post was shared onto the r/bridezillas forum.
Which is definitely not a good thing.
The anonymous bride wrote that she was looking for advice on a wedding day dilemma: “My fiancé and I are having lots of issues right now, we can’t stop fighting and I don’t know what to do,” she wrote.
But that’s probably because the bride is putting a lot of pressure on her partner to go big.
“I quit my job because wedding planning was taking up so much time, and my fiancé is refusing to get a second job,” she explained.
I mean, the bride-to-be certainly can't go back to work — she needs to spend all her time planning.
“He doesn’t understand that I don’t have time to get ready for work, drive to work, be somewhere else all day, and drive home,” she explained. “I need to be HOME to plan this wedding.”
The bride has been trying to find a job that she can do from home, but “it is difficult.” So instead she asked her fiancé to take on a second job — which he flatly refused.
Now the bride is ticked.
They’re paying $80,000 for this wedding and the only input her fiancé can offer is to tell her to spend less. The audacity!
“UH, HELLO, NO. This is MY WEDDING I have been dreaming of since I was little and I REFUSE to have anything but my dream wedding,” she exclaimed. “How can I convince him to work a second job to pay for this? What happened to ‘happy wife, happy life’????”
Some commenters thought her demands were hilariously out there.
"After the wedding… 'I don’t understand why my husband keeps telling me to get a job after we spent so much on the wedding," one commenter joked. "He doesn’t understand that if he wants kids, I need to be at home to plan and prepare for this child. I refuse to have anything but my dream pregnancy and that means staying home and keeping as calm and relaxed as possible.'"
Another commenter wrote: "When people say 'This is my dream wedding' the only correct response is 'WAKE UP! Your dream is making others around you have nightmares.'"
"You’re not his wife yet sweetheart so get off that high horse of yours & go back to work!" a third commenter chimed in. "The entitlement is strong w/ this one!"
Others thought it was a big sign of trouble ahead.
"Used to be in the wedding industry… brides like this build up their wedding as this mind blowing, life changing event, when really it’s just a cool party," one person explained. "They all end up crying or throwing a fit at some point because it didn’t live up to their unrealistic expectations."
While a third commenter put it this way: "The minute a couple refers to their wedding as 'mine' RUN."
Your wedding is supposed to be the happiest day of your life — but the more the bride pushes, the more she's assuredly going to make her fiancé miserable.
