Weddings have grow to be so over-the-top lately that it is arduous to even be shocked anymore, however one man on Reddit has had sufficient.
When his sister-in-law made a very weird demand on her visitors, he put his foot down and put it down arduous. Now, he and his husband are barely talking and the bride is livid, and he wonders if he took issues a bit too far.
When his sister-in-law insisted all wedding ceremony visitors stand in a speeding river, the man outright refused the bride’s weird demand.
“The marriage occurred in somewhat river – and I imply within the river, within the water,” the person wrote in his publish on Reddit. The marriage celebration was excluded from this insane thought, “however all attendants have been anticipated to face in knee-deep speeding water for the entire ceremony,” he mentioned.
Of all of the issues to ask of your wedding ceremony visitors, this has received to be up there among the many most bridezilla-esque calls for of all time.
The person acknowledges that the marriage photographs most likely appeared cool, however standing in a speeding river in formal apparel was merely off-limits for him. “I personally actually dislike mud, germs, bugs and no matter ailments are present in that stream,” he writes. This appears affordable sufficient, however the bride, in addition to his husband, disagreed.

Some wedding ceremony visitors have been in water up to their thighs, and even children needed to watch the marriage from contained in the river.
That is a type of tales the place you retain anticipating an affordable rationalization however none ever arrives. The person writes that whereas concessions have been made for “children who could not simply stand in water that is likely to be as tall as their complete physique,” and have been allowed to simply wade into ankle-deep water, others weren’t so fortunate.
“I may see ladies as much as their knees or decrease thighs…and taller visitors, it reached their shins. I’m 5 foot 2 so I might have been deeper than shin-level.” Which truthfully sounds form of harmful. What is that this bride’s deal?!
In any case, he “refused to take away my sneakers, socks and pull up my costume pants” to go river-fording at a marriage, for God’s sake. Regardless of that being the one affordable response, it instantly sparked drama.

“The ceremony may have simply moved ahead with me standing on the shore,” he writes, “however nooooOOOoo. The bride and groom apparently refused to begin till each particular person was within the water.” Which is actively insane! However not as insane as this poor man’s husband “wad[ing] within the water backwards and forwards between his sister and me to mediate.” Is that this an “SNL” sketch, or a marriage?
Earlier than lengthy, his husband was “visibly offended” and “stored performing like I used to be within the incorrect,” and on the reception, he felt like was “being prevented by everybody.” For — this can’t be harassed sufficient — refusing to *enter a river in formal apparel throughout a marriage.*
His in-laws are all offended at him, and he now appears like he made a scene, however folks on Reddit have been firmly on his facet.
The person wrote that for a time his husband would not converse to him and now insists that he “put it to relaxation,” however the man can not help however really feel like he is been “executed soiled” and branded a “troublemaker,” particularly since he was the one wedding ceremony visitor who refused to get within the river, which truthfully makes this complete factor funnier.
“Looking back,” he writes, “the bride and groom wished me within the water as a result of I used to be the one particular person on the shore and it was not as picturesque.” Sir in the event you’re studying this? I’ll pay you a million American {dollars} for a duplicate of those wedding ceremony photographs. In money.
Anyway, “troublemaker” or not, folks on-line weren’t even remotely on the household’s facet. Individuals discovered this wedding ceremony next-level absurd, they usually had no persistence for the person’s husband or his household chiding him for not wanting to enter a river at a marriage. As a number of Redditors identified, many rivers are famously filled with creatures that kill you in spite of everything!

Okay, possibly that is somewhat overwrought. However nonetheless — no matter occurred to a easy eating corridor with mediocre meals and a DJ with completely an excessive amount of love for Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration?” There’s nothing incorrect with desirous to up the ante however risking an assault by a water snake and bonking my head on a river rock whereas wearing Sunday finest?
Respectfully, bridezilla, I ship my regrets.
