A lot has been said about bridezillas and their entitlement. Just when you think their entitlement has peaked, these bridezillas manage to rise above expectations.

Their privilege must be contagious because it rubs off on their guests and anyone involved in their big days. If attention is what they want, then attention is what they'll receive.

The chronically online people of the internet are done tolerating their antics. In a subreddit dedicated to discussing controversial weddings, no bride, groom, wedding party, or guest is safe.

These mildly infuriating posts and anecdotes show how weddings can sometimes bring out the worst in people. These were most likely nightmare situations for those involved with the wedding.

To those removed from the situation, they are entertaining. They also serve as an unofficial guidebook on how not to behave in any given social situation.

If the audacity, entitlement, and pettiness of the people involved in these 40 stories were to be harvested for energy, then we would have all the power we need for generations to come. Yes, these people are the .01% of the 1% of the entitled community.

We have a bride who believed her wedding was more important than being with a loved one during their last moments and one who wanted a similarly-named maid of honor to change her just for her special day. You're a champ if you manage not to roll your eyes at any of these posts.
