I'm proud to say that I've never had to deal with a bridezilla (or be one!).. but The New York Post featured bride-to-be, Kristi Serrano, seems a little batshit crazy and uptight, and I kinda wish I could grab a drink with her sometime.
When she got engaged, she sent out a 7 page power point contract to her 12 bridesmaids, even though her wedding isn't until September '09. One was even "fired" when she refused to sign it.
Things in her contract:
- DO get a tan before the big day, but you are NOT allowed to have tan lines!
- Don't drink until the bride says its OK
- Don't gain weight
- $260 Bridesmaid dresses with a black satin heel (hey--at least she lets you pick either 1-3 inch heel)
- professional nail, makeup and hairdos
- Bridal shower, the bride is planning herself, but she will be in contact regarding "the costs you were incur as bridesmaids"
The only thing I made my b'maids sign was a confidentiality agreement.. so when I pulled a Naomi Campbell and chucked a cell phone at one of them, I wouldn't hear about it after I returned from my honeymoon :)
14 Deep Thoughts:
hmm i don't know if i would ever sign a contract as a bridesmaid. maybe if my friend was a lawyer and she was used to that sort of thing. but, come on. a contract to tan before the wedding? i don't tan. so then what? i would either be burned to a crisp or pale after the peeling. lol
Oh man I don't know if I would ever sign a contract either, that's insane. And all those rules, sheesh. I'm glad the wedding I'm in this summer has no guidelines whatsoever, haha.
Ps. Love your wedding pic :)
That's ridiculous. I hope I never become a crazy bride.
P.S. I love your wedding dress!
Your gorgeous picture totally distracted me from the INSANITY above. I can't even imagine someone trying to make me sign that. I'd laugh in their face.
What is it with the crazy brides? Hilarious!
And I love love LOVE your wedding picture! You look stunning and the bridesmaid dresses are gorgeous! (Great color!)
Awe, your wedding pic is cute.
I used to work at a bridal store and can give you horrifying stories on some crazy brides to be. It was a nightmare.
Oooh, what a stunning bride you were!
Nah, no contract for my gals. They were all, well, mostly, pretty awesome. I have no complaints. :)
OMG your wedding photo is gorgeous!!
wow you look gorgeous!
and i'm so over that whole bridesmaid thing. when i finally get married, i'm nixing the bridal party. short and sweet for me.
Pretty picture!! I love the color of your bridesmaid dresses.
As for bridezillas- ugh. I can't wrap my brain around the idea of getting so worked up about something that I would resort to powerpoint. Although, I have a weird hate on for powerpoint so I might be biased.
sooo beautiful! love the pic.
i'm a bridesmaid in October. if there was a contract i think i'd be vacationing in aruba instead of at the wedding.
I love that pic! Hell no I would never sign anything like that, but my question is... birds of a feather flock together, so maybe they knew she was that batshit crazy to begin with?
Nope, that bride was a crazy. Don't gain weight? Listen sister, you asked me to be a bridesmaid not a supermodel. If I wanna eat a cheeseburger, Imma eat a cheeseburger. So there!
I think the "fired" bridesmaid got lucky. ;)
P.S. You know you look wicked cute in your wedding photo so I'm not going to tell you again. Wait...I think I just did...
The picture is so pretty :-) And your bridesmaids were very lucky, they actually got cute dresses!
As for the contract... I don't think I'd ever sign one unless it said I wasn't going to shave my head or do something crazy.
