19 Utterly Absurd Requests From The Bride and Groom

11.

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. He got so mad at me when I told him we won’t be able to make it. 5 years later he still doesn’t talk to me.

An old friend from hs decided to get married in Hawaii & invite us all. Most of us couldn’t afford it, she gave us all shit, but still had a decent turnout & a nice wedding. 6 months later “We’re renewing our vows!” AGAIN in Hawaii. One year later: “We’re renewing our vows!” Again in Hawaii. 6 year anniversary coming up soon, 6th time they’ll all be in Hawaii to get married again. Last year barely anyone showed up, & she ranted on facebook for months about it. This year it’s “Just so you all know we’ve already booked the biggest venue on the island so we expect you all to show up…” a few “it’s a shame people disrespect your love” posts, but mainly no one responded.

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.
