Bride ditches 'poor' friends for castle wedding; ends up with backyard pig roast.
Karma can be vicious, but when an entitled bride's plan to have a five-star Disney princess castle wedding beautifully fails, it's hard not to indulge in the online schadenfreude...
So, when a family member of a classic entitled 'bridezilla' decided to vent about the most chaotic wedding they ever attended on the gloriously petty and judgemental Reddit group, 'Wedding Shaming,' people were eager to roast more than a pig...
Bridezilla’s grand wedding ended up as a backyard party with a pig‘s head...
About 15 years ago my aunt met a rich and really nice and fun guy and went from normal and down-to-earth to entitled. She quit her job to become a stay-at-home girlfriend and ditched all of her 'poor“ (middle class) friends and family to make new rich friends.
They got engaged after 1.5 years and started planning a huge wedding with 150 guests in a castle and she allegedly bought a approximately $10,000 dress. She became a classic bridezilla. The food wasn’t fancy enough for her and some of the guests couldn’t afford a ball gown for her white tie dress code.
She wanted to approve everyone’s outfit and if you didn’t have something fancy enough she threatened to uninvite you. She didn't mind losing some of her last 'poor“ friends but as her rich friends started dropping out because of her behavior, she started lashing out.
She started demanding that the venue replace some of its beautiful antique furniture with modern furniture for her wedding. It just had to be redecorated. Apparently she started threatening the castle owners. So the venue dropped her. So did the caterer for unknown reasons.
Since it was less than a month until the wedding day they ended up having to improvise a wedding in their garden. They got a handful of beer benches and tables, champagne from the groom‘s expensive collection, out of place fancy decoration intended for a castle, a really bad DJ, a fancy 3 tier wedding cake with whatever food they could order from bakeries and butcher shops on short notice.
The centerpiece of this improvised buffet was a full pig. About 50 people showed up. The best man spent half the afternoon cutting apart that pig and telling everyone he had raised it himself. In the end the leftovers of the pig, especially the head became an unintentional party game.
The groom and his friends started dressing the head with sunglasses, hats and other accessories. The bride was so embarrassed and devastated that she left early, despite her guests actually really enjoying the party.
They had a nightmare of a daughter and then got divorced 4 years later. To this day it‘s the most chaotic but one of the funnest weddings I've been to and the pig has achieved legendary status in our family. She gets angry every time we mention it.
Of course, the jury of shamers was eager to weigh in on this mess. Here's what people had to say...

Who has the time to want to check the outfits of 150 people?

Now I need to know if after the divorce, whether or not this woman lost her superior-than-thou nouveau-riche lifestyle, along with all of her remaining rich or poor friends.

IN A CASTLE, asking to replace antique furniture with 'modern furniture'? What even IS modern furniture? And why be in a castle, if you want it to not look like a castle? 'Strip down these golden cherub encrusted lounge chairs you have and replace them with minimalist IKEA, stat!'
