Bride Makes Outlandish Clothing Request of Guests Based on Their Weight

The best example of a wedding decision truly going too far.

The term bridezilla has been thrown around way too much these days (even spawning various TV shows based around this stereotype). The term commonly refers to a bride that has become so stressed or overwhelmed with the preparation of her wedding that she becomes oblivious to the wishes, desires and in some cases feelings of her significant other and/or the guests of said wedding.

Whilst this is understandable considering the stress of planning such an event, some bride’s decisions are completely questionable and well worth the criticism they are given. This bride’s wish to have her guests dressed according to weight is one of those decisions.

An unnamed bride decided 18 months prior to her Hawaiian wedding to send out an update to the guests. In this update it specified a dress code that the bride thought would give off a nice look when the guests were dancing at her wedding. This plan did not go over well with her guests.

This was partially because the clothing choices were unusual and also because they were very costly as the bride was asking each guest to spend $1000 each on their attire. To make matters worse the color scheme of the clothing in question had been decided by the weight of the guest.

A prime example of these fashion wishes not being the best idea is that of the women between 100-160 pounds. These women are being told to wear green velvet sweaters, orange suede pants, and red Louboutin heels topped off with a with a Burberry scarf. I'm sure from that description of the attire you can guess whether the guests reactions were positive or negative. Needless to say, it really didn't go over well.

Men under 200 pounds didn't come out of this decision any better than the women as they were told to wear purple fluffy jackets with a soda hat (if anyone could explain what that is, that would be great), white sneakers and topping off this interesting attire are "plain" glow sticks. Do they even come without a specific colour?

So, thus far our fashion forward bride has got her female guests looking like Oompa Loompas from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and the men looking like Grimace if he shopped at a store for edgy teens going to a rave. If these clothing choices confused you, what I'm about to inform you won't make this brides vision any clearer. Women over 160 pounds were asked to wear black from head to toe (black sweater, black pants and black heels).

Men over 200 pounds on the other hand were told to wear camouflage and black sneakers. Additionally, children would be required to wear red from head to toe. Not only that but the bride specified that she would not stand for variations of red and that she wanted "true" red simply because she wishes them to form the shape of a heart. After the dancing was finished, the bride asked that everyone change into formal attire. I'm not sure if I'm just stylistically blind but I don't see what the bride is hoping for.

Here is a visual rendering of how that would all look.

Not long after these demands were made, the screenshots surfaced online. Many comments stating that you would have to be pretty tacky to come up with such a clothing arrangement let alone wear said arrangement. When the soon to be bride heard that her "requests" had leaked to the internet and that they were (and by extension she was) not being perceived in a positive light she decided it was best to double down on her decisions.

Her plan to get back at the guests mocking her decisions was to buy a $99 polygraph test machine off Amazon. Ignoring the fact that it is well documented that the concept of a lie detector test is flawed at best and is pure theatre, even if that weren't true you would not be able to buy one for the same price as a low-end mobile phone.

She believed this was a solid purchase and announced that she would be throwing a party (she named the "Polygraph Party") to catch out the "rat" that leaked her dress code. As part of this party she would provide drinks and nibblies.

She assumed anyone who would not be willing to show up to such an event had something to hide and were involved in the leak of her dress code and her subsequent embarrassment (once again, ignoring that the most advanced polygraph tests have been known to not work... and that she bought hers for $99 on Amazon). Additionally, if she believed her requests were reasonable she would have no reason to be embarrassed.

The bride to be then goes on a long winded rant where she proceeds to threaten to cut ties with the person who leaked the info, bribes the remaining guests to dob in the individual who posted the info, reduces any guest who does not wish to take part in the dance to merely voluntary cleaning staff and then proceeds to fire back at internet trolls before finally giving an explanation for her clothing choices. This explanation still overlooks the financial impact on the guests though.

The invitee's response

One of the intended guests responses nicely summaries the absurdity of the requests and remarks made as well as giving the greatest closing statement to a text that someone in this persons life could possibly give after being put through the ordeal that is the planning of this wedding.

Additionally, the internets response is absolute gold.
