Traditionally, the maid of honor at a wedding is expected to plan the bridal shower, hold the bride’s bouquet during the ceremony, and provide moral support in the time leading up to the wedding. But today, sometimes the title of maid of honor comes with a laundry list of expectations and duties, especially if the bride becomes a bridezilla.
Maids of honor on Reddit share some of the worst things brides have made them do in preparation for the big day, and they might make you think twice about accepting that once-coveted position. Of course, these are just for fun, as we can't independently authenticate the stories.
"She let me pick my own dress … but she had so many rules."
"I was the maid of honor at my sister’s wedding. She let me pick my own dress … but she had so many rules. It had to be a midi dress and have a high neckline. It couldn't have sleeves thicker than spaghetti straps, but it couldn't be strapless. It had to have a lace or mesh overlay, and a bow. It couldn't flare out at the waist, but it couldn't be tight. She should've just picked out my dress. After searching for three months, I ended up buying a dress that I would never wear again. At least she loved it."— Redditor bluejay_way
"We all had to use the same bottle of foundation …"
"I was once in wedding where the bride … wanted us all to use the same makeup. I don't mean the same shades or something semi-reasonable. No, we all had to use the same bottle of foundation regardless of skin tone. Plus, the same eyeshadow palette, blush, eyeliner, and mascara even though sharing some of that stuff is unsanitary."— Redditor mystic_burrito
"... She told me that I could not be taller than her or her fiancé."
"The bride had a had a height requirement. I am 5’10" and she told me that I could not be taller than her or her fiancé. The problem is, even barefoot, I am taller than both of them. I pointed that out, and they changed the rule to say I could not be taller than the best man. Luckily, the best man was 6’3"."— Redditor theanonymousyou
