A woman has revealed six controversial wedding rules that led to her being dubbed “bridezilla” by unimpressed guests.
Newlywed Rachel, from Orange County, California, set a strict list of rules for her guests, leading people to accuse her of having “control issues.”
However, she claimed that detractors simply couldn’t “respect” the rules she and her partner decided to set for their big day.
Taking it to TikTok @hairbyrayyycheelll The bride shared a clip, which has racked up more than 9.7 million views, detailing her demands for her nuptials, including that no one be under the age of 21, despite countless guests asking to bring their children.
Rachel only made an exception for the flower girl and ring bearer, who went home immediately after the ceremony.
Newlywed Rachel, from Orange County, California, revealed her six controversial wedding rules and said people were calling her a “bridezilla”
She said: ‘We didn’t want to take on any responsibilities, there was a lake on the property. There were no children. Weddings are no place for children. Parents, take the night off. Have some cocktails with your friends and family.’
However, rule number two was the one that caused the most drama, because it required the groomsmen not to drink alcohol before the ceremony.
She said: “I’ve been to so many weddings where the groomsmen and groom are drunk and can’t even function during the ceremony. Just wait until the reception. Some people criticize me for that, but I don’t care.”
The bride said asking to bring a plus one to the wedding was a definite ‘no’ because ‘I wanted to meet every single person at our wedding.’
She said: “Don’t ask to bring someone else, if we wanted that person to be there, we would have invited them. We didn’t. This happened many times, actually, and it was very stressful.”
The newlywed also had a dress code for guests, requiring them to wear neutral colors and prohibiting people from wearing jeans.
She said: ‘Don’t wear jeans to a formal wedding, just wedding attire, a couple of you, you know who you are.
“We asked families to stick to the wedding colours provided and not make a fuss about it, because we really wanted our wedding photos to be neutral and blend in, and they look fabulous now, but we did get some backlash because of that.”
Taking to her TikTok @hairbyrayyycheelll, the bride shared a clip detailing her demands for her nuptials.
The video irritated some and thousands of people took to the comments section to share their opinions.
Her final rule—no standing in the hallway to take photos—was broken, ruining her professional snaps.
“A person was standing in the middle of our hallway and is in the background of all our photos,” Rachel fumed.
The video stirred some eyebrows and thousands took to the comments section to share their opinions.
One person said: “Too many damn rules. I would have stayed home.”
Another said: “Hahaha, did anyone show up? This would have been the fastest decline in history.”
Someone else said: ‘Haha, if my kids aren’t invited, then neither am I. We don’t have the luxury of a babysitter.’
However, some were more understanding, with one being directed at mothers who complained about not being able to find a babysitter.
‘Invitations are sent MONTHS (usually 1 year) before the wedding.’ You didn’t plan ahead.’
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: “I don’t know why wedding rules are such a big deal to people. If you don’t like rules, don’t go. It’s that simple.”
