19 Utterly Absurd Requests From The Bride and Groom

14.

Bridesmaid to my sister. She demanded that I grow my fringe (bangs) out months before because quote “I don’t want anyone’s hair blowing in the wind, it all has to stay perfectly still”. Also, i’m quite pale so she insisted I had to wear fake tan. I originally went bought a pale tan colour but the morning of the wedding she made me pile it on. It was pretty hot that day so subsequently, it stained my pale pink dress. Was still an amazing wedding regardless. Also, I like to think that when I get married I have two ridiculous request cards. Two things she has to do and I’ll bring up her wedding if she refuses.

I’m a photographer and my cousin wanted me to shoot their wedding for free as a gift to them. Wedding was also on the other side of the country, and they wouldn’t be paying for my flight or room. My pricing typically starts at a few grand and goes up. I was still willing to do it until my cousin wanted me to also throw in finished prints, 350 retouched pics…basically about $3k worth of photo work. Suddenly I came down with a case of “something else to do that weekend”, she still doesn’t talk to me , and that’s just fine. She never really talked to me before either, come to think of it.

My future sister-in-law has made it very clear that she wants her bachelorette party to be a week in California. We live in New Jersey. That means I would have to take a week off from work, my husband would have to take a week off from work to stay with our children, I would have to pay for my airfare and hotel and all the weeks activities, and pay my share for her, since ” everyone knows the bride doesn’t pay for anything on her bachelorette party”. When I said I’d have to see if it’s something that we could make work she basically just said, ” well only the people that really love me will be there, I’m only going to get married once so I have every right to be selfish”.
