She insisted, “Checking with your kids is not an emergency. If something serious happens you’ll know.”Another rule revolved around a strict color scheme and dress code. The couple required all guests to wear black, with women in dresses and men in tuxedos—no exceptions allowed. This rule upset several guests, including her aunt, who had recently returned to wearing colorful clothing after grieving the loss of her husband.
Her aunt found the thought of wearing black again depressing, but the bride did not budge. Additionally, her future sister-in-law, who suffers from body dysmorphia and always wears pants to feel more comfortable, was also denied an exception. The couple had also pre-ordered bridesmaid dresses months in advance and instructed the bridesmaids to maintain their weight, whether that meant eating more or less.
This particular rule caused tension with the bride’s mother, who was furious and told her daughter that the wedding was “doomed from the start.” Some bridesmaids even threatened to drop out, and the couple began receiving last-minute cancellations from guests. Adding to the turmoil, the bride’s maid of honor was supposed to have her daughter as the flower girl.
However, the bride requested that the flower girl be left at a hotel with a babysitter during the ceremony. The maid of honor refused and instead planned to leave her daughter with her mother, as the wedding venue was a four-hour drive away. This decision led to the bride losing her flower girl.
