Bride War Stories! (Yikes!)by Nana at January 8, 2009, 11:30 AM
Your submissions to our BRIDE WAR STORIES contest are rolling in and we had to share some of the nuptial nuttiness with you. Check out a few of the stories submitted below, and don't forget to submit your own. There's still time. (Contest ends January 12th.) P.S. the movie opens in theaters tomorrow so round up your fave girls and/or bridezillas and check it out. It's predictable popcorn fun but there's a surprising twist towards the end.
"My now mother-in-law insisted on helping with the wedding planning. While i was trying on wedding dresses, she offered her extremely critical comments. When she saw a dress she hated more than she hated me, she screamed like a banshee, called me a slut, and threw her drink at me. i even had to pay $1000 for the stained dress!!!!" - Madeleine "I was 18 and slim -- tiny compared to my sister who also was the maid of honor at the time.............I was a bridesmaid and I was right in the the direct line of sight to get the bouqet and almost had it when, in my green taffeta dress, I was sent flying because my big butted sister threw that thing against me so she could get the bouquet...hmmm and of course there was no "I am sorry." Only a face of great pride as I looked up from my resting place on the ground." - Terrie
"My soon to be brother-in-law (my fiance's brother) brought his new girlfriend to our Colorado wedding and boy did she make an impact. For a woman who was in and out of our lives so quickly she certainly burned herself into our memories! My bridal shower was the day before my wedding and as I am getting ready I realize my blow dryer is missing, apparently this woman needed to borrow it for her Annie Lennox haircut (seriously her hair was 1/2" long!!) and sent the bro-in-law to retrieve it from my house so she would look nice for the shower. So I air dryed my waist long hair while she had my dryer, made the best of it and went along to my shower, which she then NEVER showed up for. Oh well, on to the rehearsal dinner, which when we sat down to eat she declared she did not eat lamb and sat with her boyfriend separately from the table (awkward) as she spoke loudly about the shame of eating the meal the rest of the party was enjoying! Well lucky for us she DID show up for the wedding, just long enough to take her spot smack in the middle of the family pictures; my new brother in law INSISTED she be included even though they had only been dating for a few weeks!! After the pictures they abruptly left the wedding to return to Michigan and we were left with the job of photoshopping that wonderful lady out of the pictures, as 2 weeks after our wedding they broke up (what a surprise)!!! Though I only knew this woman briefly (4 days max) she has left a permanent imprint on my memories of my wedding, and as funny as it all is now I hope I never meet her again!" - Katie CommentsWe were trying to show support for a church member who was starting her own business decorating wedding cakes, so we ordered my daughter's wedding cake from her. She showed us a portfolio of several cakes that she had made, so we thought we were safe. We gave her several photographs of EXACTLY what we wanted the cake to look like. It was supposed to be three tiers, white frosting, with hundreds of tiny white flowers encrusting each layer. Each flower was to have a pastel lavender, pastel blue, or pastel sage green center. These flowers were supposed to be very very tiny, no larger than a dime. Anyhoo, the day of the wedding arrives, and we are setting up for the reception. No cake. We had a gazebo set up in the center of the room for the cake display. Everything is ready. Still no cake. We all head to the wedding, leaving a good friend at the reception center to wait for the cake. When we get back from the wedding and walk into the reception center, there is the world's most hideous cake, right smack dab in the center of the gazebo with brights lights shining down, and my friend is nowhere in sight. (Neither was the woman who made the cake.) The cake was indeed three tiers, and there were indeed flowers on the cake. However, there were only 12 ENORMOUS flowers with HUGE bright blue, purple and screaming green centers the size of silver dollars! They looked like pasties for a stripper! Needless to say, my darling daughter took one look at the cake and said, "Oh my gosh, let's cut it and put it out of it's misery." Suddenly, in rushed my dear friend with her arms full of flowers. She had rushed to the nearest flower store, bought every daisy she could get her hands on and rushed back. She popped those pasties off the cake and filled each layer with artfully arranged daisies and baby's breath...and she saved the day! The cake, however ugly it was, was scrumptious! nice ride......... huh... hehehehe......
