The Ultimate Bridezilla

Buckle up, my friends, because this is one hell of a ride:

Apparently, this was originally posted in a wedding-related Facebook group by a cousin of the bride, and it does appear to be real. And hoo boy, it is something else.

I can't get to the article because it's blocked where I am, but if it's the one I'm thinking it is, I'm just glad the groom-to-be managed to escape this horrid person.

Yeah, that's the one I thought it was.

My parents and LadyTango's parents split the costs of our wedding, so I don't have the exact figures, but I think we ended up at about $15k after everything was all done.  I think we had about 200 people at the dinner/reception.  Initially, I was trying to stay under $10k, but our parents pushed hard for a few additions that we'd initially decided to skip on in order to keep costs contained.  In the end, it came down to LadyTango and I agreeing that 1) The part that *we* are really concerned about is the sacrament and the Mass, which we planned entirely on our own and brought in experienced lay ministers to handle the various roles (lectors, musicians, Eucharistic ministers, etc) and the presider was the pastor of the parish we'd grown up at and had known us since we were in High School and 2) If our parents want to spend extra money on the party afterward, that's fine.

Then again, I should've known that a dry reception was simply not going to happen when a German-Irish-Catholic family and Polis-Irish-Catholic family got together.

Absolutely appalling. Who is going to take care of the baby while she wanders around South Africa having panic attacks and dissociative states over not being a Kardashian?

Presumably its father....

Hopefully, by the time she returns, he'll have completed the process of getting full legal custody and her parental rights revoked.

Or maybe she'll realize how terrible her behavior was and decide to just not return so as to not have to face the consequences of her behavior.

Well, yes. I was pointing out that it's one thing to flounce off and disappear from your friends and your soon-to-be ex husband, and quite another to just abandon your child so you can sulk overseas for three months.

Yeah, that got me, too. "We are going to remain a team for our son." *goes off to South America for three months.*

Although I found this on Reddit the other day- her relatives are skeptical that she's actually going to go:

snopes traced it as far as they could & called it 'unproven."

I thought a wedding meant that the bride, groom and families were hosts, so they provided for their guests.  On a good note though, this lady sounds bonkers and everyone dodged a major bullet.

I don't believe it is true. 

But I love it.  This is the kind of thing that got a lot of us interested in EH to begin with!

Did anyone else think about the Titanic Wedding story?  Also clearly untrue, but, oh, what fun!

Now that you mention it--yes, it does seem like it's a story from the the POV of the awful bride (Jennifer?) from the Titanic story .. minus the overt sinking ship theme.

That was one of my favorite threads on EHell. One of my favorite things to do when I got bored was go back and reread it. I felt like it got crazier every time!
