Pregnancy is taboo: 13 horror rules for bridesmaids

On Reddit, a woman shares a list of ridiculous rules the bride-to-be made for her bridesmaids. Pregnancies and engagements are therefore taboo. You can find out here which 13 absurd rules are still on the list.

Bridesmaid against her will

The woman who posted the incredible list online was a bridesmaid at her best friend's sister's wedding. Since she wasn't very good friends with the bride, she found the wishes on the list even more strange.

She writes: "I was very surprised when she asked me to be one of her bridesmaids. Just because of the distance. I live in New York, she lives in Texas, so I forewarned her that I won't be of any real help.

Her response was that this will not be a problem as she only needs me because her fiance has six brothers and his best friend will be his best man. So he would have seven bridesmaids and she would also need seven bridesmaids.

According to her, I'm pretty enough, but not pretty enough for everyone to look at me. Cheeky, but I was used to that from her. A few days later, my girlfriend texted me to get ready for a list, she didn't know what was on it yet, but she was sure it was going to be completely stupid."

Brazen to the power of ten: These 13 rules are unbelievable

The bride's list reads like something out of a bad Hollywood movie, but see for yourself:

"No tattoos. All tattoos must be covered without exception.”

“Nails must be short and painted pink with the color Essie Ballet Slipper. I'll see if it's not the color Ballet Slipper."

"Don't wear glasses. If you have poor eyesight, get contact lenses or go a day without glasses.”

"You must not be tanned or wear suntan lotion. On my big day, I'm the only one who should look like she's been kissed by the sun."

"No long hair. If you have long hair, cut it shorter than mine. Your hair must be worn loose, if you have the same hair color as me, then dye it a different shade. Send me photos so I can sign off.”

“Everyone buys their own dress, I linked it here. It's affordable for everyone, so don't call me crazy just because you have to pay for it yourself. You must also be wearing a strapless bra, I don't want to see nipples or weird nipple pads peeking through your dress."

"Each of you should lose weight and look good on my wedding day. For some of you that means up to 13 kg. That's not mean, it's true.”

"Don't get pregnant, if you are pregnant you will be disinvited. That would be an absolute betrayal for me because it's my big day and we all know that pregnant women always steal the show."

"If you are planning an engagement, please do so AFTER my wedding, because engagements steal the show too."

“Must-attend events: bachelorette week, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, hair and makeup rehearsal, wedding dress shopping, champagne breakfast. You pay for the bachelorette party, the hair and make-up test run, and your styling on the wedding day.”

"Everyone buys bathing suits and robes that say 'Bride Squad'

"Bachelorette week will be sometime in March 2022, save money now as it's going to Mexico. If you don't have a passport, get it taken care of as soon as possible.”

"If you don't like something on my list, either eat it or throw it away. I have no problem replacing you and I won't be mad. Don't expect an invitation to my wedding though, because if you can't be there for me all the days leading up to my wedding, please don't be there for my special day either."

No marriage for Reddit user

After this list, the user decided to resign from the position of bridesmaid. "I then texted her that I wouldn't be able to be a bridesmaid because I couldn't make all those appointments. To date, she has not responded.”

The Reddit community was shocked by the list, with one user writing, "How the hell does a person like that have friends?"

One user has a particularly good piece of advice for bridesmaids: "Buy a fake pregnancy belly, fake diamond ring that's so gross it's impossible to ignore, and then sit in the front row with your gigantic fake nipples and your." self-selected outfit.

To top it off, put on enough suntan to make you look like Oompa Loompa and fake tattoos, and then you'll sit all night where she can't miss you."

Not such a bad idea!
