Here's the original piece from Gawker, there is even more crazy plus the original email in entirety! The yahoo article doesn't make it sound all that bad.</p> <p><a href="http://m.gawker.com/5948725/reasons-why-you-cannot-be-a-bridesmaid" rel="nofollow">http://m.gawker.com/5948725/reasons-why-you-cannot-be-a-bridesmaid</a></p> <p>And re: sending it to Gawker vs talking to her. Ever had a really mean, controlling friend? Those people are so hard to communicate with. Add "bride" on top of it... Lets just say nobody knows what really happened to prompt that submission to Gawker. Plus with 10 bridesmaids, I doubt you're close to them all. Some people just pick BMs for the numbers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms/page/2#post-328207 Sat, 06 Oct 2012 01:04:27 +0000 Red 328207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, yes I agree that the bride's email was atrocious and assuming that I'm no longer friends with this person after reading this email, I may entertain thoughts of sending it into Gawker, lol.</p> <p>Hopefully, the bride now realizes what a bridezilla she's being and more importantly, someone has pointed out the difference between "your" and "you're" to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms/page/2#post-328136 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 22:16:52 +0000 MsMamaBear 328136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: EXACTLY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms/page/2#post-327993 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 19:26:13 +0000 Rubies 327993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If any one of my friends had the audacity to write/talk to me like that, I would absolutely send it to Gawker...Right after I'd have told her to go fly an effing kite! That bride was awful!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms/page/2#post-327862 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 16:36:36 +0000 JoJoGirl 327862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: Every time she wrote "your" the incorrect way an angel lost its wings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327737 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 15:01:56 +0000 dagret 327737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If a bride sent me an email like this...at least you'd know about it ahead of time what a crazypants she'd be! I'd step down. </p> <p>I had a bride FLIP OUT on me because I wouldn't take 2 days of work off before the wedding to help her with projects. I had just started a new job and had like 7 days of vacation total to last me all year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327726 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:58:08 +0000 meredithNYC 327726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my God, this bride is heinous! There is no excuse for writing something so rude and condescending to your bridesmaids. In my opinion, if you are so stressed about your forthcoming wedding that you're acting like such a selfish beast of a person, maybe you are not focusing on the more important aspects of a wedding? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327700 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:44:41 +0000 ladyfingers 327700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: omg yes it made my EYES TWITCH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327699 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:44:01 +0000 MsMini 327699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: My sentiments exactly! </p> <p>I think the bridesmaid was well within her rights to out the crap out of that bridezilla. If the bride didn't know she was being extremely crazy by sending the email she should have. </p> <p>I don't think that we should excuse bad behaviour by brides/pregnant people/people PMSing/old people etc (all the normal reasons we seem to excuse bad behaviour) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327692 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:39:50 +0000 Sammyfab 327692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally agree with @ladyfingers. I thought the bride and her expectations were ridiculous! As for sending it in to gawker...meh...it just adds to the epic-ness of her wedding. And I also agree with @Mrs. Cowgirl, the spelling and grammar were atrocious. It's YOU'RE dammit!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327681 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 14:25:56 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 327681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i thought it was pretty ridiculous (but then again, i could barely get through it with all the terrible grammar and misspelled words!), but i don't think i'd have sent it to gawker! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327508 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 13:09:17 +0000 shinystraps 327508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I'm in the camp of the bride is awful! No way would I want to be near her wedding or even her friend. What an attitude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327443 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 12:26:25 +0000 pinkcupcake 327443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @ladyfingers... That was awful!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327275 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 11:09:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 327275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: I agree. The bride is awful and the friend has every right to be turned off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327178 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:25:41 +0000 ladyfingers 327178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really? I thought the email was AWFUL. Basically, "We're planning all our own parties in four different cities and if you can't come then you're out, and if you can't afford stuff then you're out sorry we can't deal with people and their money problems, and if you don't respond to me right away then eff you." If that's an introductory email, then I would shudder to think what she does later on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327167 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:18:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 327167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The BM is evil and was totally mean! The bride herself is rude and annoying but is simply taking this wedding thing waaayy to seriously which many brides do. I'm sure the BM knew what the bride was like: I mean they've been friends how long? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327159 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:15:11 +0000 LittleFox 327159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The email was pretty terrible. I wouldn't have sent it in to Gawker, but (as others have said) I would have declined to be in the wedding party. I also would have considered whether I still wanted to be friends with someone so selfish. I get that your wedding is important and stressful, but I don't like all of the demands. Three different states, plane fees, expecting people to respond on the same day even if they are out of the country, not being allowed to miss a single event, etc. are all ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327136 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:08:29 +0000 immabeetoo 327136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've definitely read crazier examples online I think - clearly they're not actually friends if she didn't just email back and say "hey.. you're coming off a little crazy, we're excited but tone it down". I was definitely in a camp that my 3 bridesmaids were doing me a favor by standing up and kept all costs, etc. extremely way down and thanked them but I can understand getting wrapped up in what is really important to you and overreacting/acting out of character. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327115 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:04:15 +0000 SleepyMonkey 327115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bad behavior on both sides but I was appalled at the bride's email. The tone was so condescending and demanding. I felt lucky that my bridesmaids could share my wedding day with me and I was very aware of how much work and expense can go into being a bridesmaid. So I tried to make it as easy for them as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327108 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:01:39 +0000 photojane 327108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahahaha. oh LAWD. </p> <p>the bride is a crazypants. i think it's hilarious that the bridesmaid sent that email in. friendship with her is not an "honor" i'd want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327093 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:57:46 +0000 Crisark 327093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Email is pretty bad....<br /> I agree @JoJoGirl: The whole thing is awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327072 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:51:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 327072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the email was rude, I think her expectations were rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327011 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:32:47 +0000 DillonLion 327011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty crazy from both sides. It is obvious why they are friends to begin with in my opinion... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-327003 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:31:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 327003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I understand her wanting to plan dates, but kicking people out for not being able to come to every party is extreme! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-326989 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:28:58 +0000 mrsjazz 326989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never send something to Gawker if this was a friend who had asked me to be a bridesmaid...however I'd be rethinking our friendship after receiving an e-mail like this. I think this e-mail is horrendous and it's only the beginning of the hell her bridal party will be experiencing. I'm sure she's down to 9 bridesmaids now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-326975 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:26:16 +0000 T-Mom 326975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I received an email like that, I wouldn't send it to Gawker, but I don't think I would be friends with the bride any more. It's obvious she only considers these girls her worker bees. I hope she regrets it and has apologized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-326955 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:21:12 +0000 mrsjyw 326955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the bride wrote an intense email and the BM reaction isn't uncalled for... it's supposed to be fun for everyone, not JUST the bride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-326952 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:20:11 +0000 MediaNaranja 326952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These kinds of stories are fascinating to me because no one I know IRL is actually like this....and I am so far from type A about things that it just baffles me. And the weddings that I have been in have had brides who are similar. It blows my mind that anyone can even be like this (bride or bridesmaid)!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bridezilla-viral-email-to-bms#post-326944 Fri, 05 Oct 2012 09:17:02 +0000 Mrs.B 326944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought the email was pretty rude. </p>
