WHEN it comes to weddings, the old saying goes that the bride is always right. However, one woman's list of demands for her big left had been calling her "insufferable". A screenshot of the bride's rules were shared on the Reddit forum Wedding Shaming. The woman had listed the six requirements she had for her bridesmaids in an Instagram post.

And it was more than simply: "Don't wear white to my wedding". She explained that she would be sharing the list "every day til the wedding". For her first requirement, the bride-to-be reminded her friends that it is "not your day" as she warned them: "Do what the bride asks or don’t be in the wedding.".

She again reminded her bridesmaids that it is "not your day" before informing them that they will have no say in their hair or make-up for the day. "If the bride wants make-up or certain hair for everyone, and you don’t wear make-up – don’t be in the wedding," she wrote.
"It’s usually the ones who scream ‘I don’t want all that’ who ends up looking less flattering.". She added that the only way she would be flexible is if people had a "specific haircut" that required different styling such as "locs or a pixie cute".
The cheeky bride once again pointed out that it was her day, not her friends' as she told them to "act how you would want your bridal party to act, if it was your day". For her next rule, she explained that her bridesmaids would "look jealous when you object to every little thing".
"Especially things you have not paid for, be grateful or don’t be in the wedding," she said. Next, she reminded her bridesmaids that they are on "team bride" and should act accordingly. "If you wish to act like anything less, switch to team guest," she told her friends.
"Have a seat and throw rice, preferably uncooked.". If you're struggling to decided on a dress to see you through wedding season, here's a few rules on what not to wear so you don't get in trouble. Finally, she laid out her expectations for her bridal party when it comes to finances.
"If you can’t afford to be in the wedding, let the bride know up front," she said. "Don’t accept and then penny pinch, especially if it’s one year or more out.". Reddit users shared their thoughts on the bride's demands in the comments section. "At least she's giving everyone a daily chance to join TEAM NOT GOING," joked one reader.
