LABOR OF LOVE

I left my best friend’s wedding early because of her crazy demands & now she owes the venue $500, so who’s wrong?

FOR some brides, nothing is off-limits when it comes to making demands on your big day.

However, one bridezilla was in for a shock when her best friend refused her request and left the wedding early.

A Reddit user, who called herself Jane, recounted the events which led her to dip out of her friend's post nuptial celebrations.

Referring to her friend as Vanessa, Jane detailed how the bride had expected all members of the wedding party to hang back and clean up at the end of the night.

The demands of physical labor started before the actual ceremony, according to Jane.

Shortly after arriving at the venue for a run-through of the day, Jane explained: "The men immediately headed to the liquor store, and the groom and bride's mothers began ordering the bridesmaids to move furniture into place."

"That night the women did everything, from dragging 250 chairs out of the shed and setting them up, to hauling furniture down two flights of stairs, and positioning it in other places," she said.

Because of her height and build, Jane said it was mostly up to her to haul the larger pieces of furniture alone.

"I asked repeatedly if the groom and groomsmen could be called to help, but was told that we 'didn't want to bother them' and that they're out unwinding before the big day'," Jane said in her post.

Jane said she was left with splinters in her hands, and was even referred to as a workhorse by the groom's mother.

So when she learned the bride and groom planned to avoid clean up fees after the ceremony, Jane had enough.

She explained: "I found out that the plan was for the bride and groom to leave, and then the bridesmaids and groomsmen [were required] to stick around doing everything, from cleaning up trash to moving the furniture back."

Jane decided to leave the party before she was roped into cleaning up and was met with hostility from the bridal party.

"The other bridesmaids were texting me and the Vanessa's mother left me an angry voicemail about how I was bailing on my duties as a bridesmaid," she said.

"The next day, I woke up to a massive paragraph from Vanessa that said it was my fault that they had to pay the $500 cleanup fee," Jane wrote.

Reddit users were united in support for Jane taking a stand against the ridiculous demands.

"If the wedding party is going to be doing this kind of work, you should have been ASKED in advance. You can’t demand your wedding party do heavy labor like that because you want to be a cheapskate," wrote one person.

Another reader said: "I would have grabbed a bottle of wine and some snacks, and quietly made an exit straight after the workhorse comment. No goodbye."

One user related to Jane's story, comparing it to a situation her sister-in-law put her in.

"[My sister-in-law] went to the venue early to get ready, and I was there early with her as well. I was already ready and in heels. What I did not know, was that we were setting up! I was livid, I was not told this. I was not dressed for that and it is so freaking tacky."
