Planning a wedding is rarely a stress-free experience - no matter how happy you are to be heading down the aisle.

Now brides and grooms-to-be have been spilling their wedding planning woes on the anonymous sharing app Whisper - including some outlandish requests made by guests ahead of the ceremony.

One poster revealed how the best man's girlfriend had specifically demanded rosé wine be served with the meal - which she insisted was completely free from peppers.

Another frustrated bride-to-be revealed how her mother's new boyfriend had asked to bring six friends along to the wedding, because it was 'his culture'.

Several others revealed how guests had attempted to dictate the seating arrangements at couple's receptions.

Scroll down for some more outrageous requests - and they'll make your most hard-to-please wedding guest look accommodating.


  • The best man's girlfriend demanded that there not be any peppers in the meal, that there be rosé wine, and that she would not be sat on a table with one of the uncles

  • If my mom's new boyfriend could bring like 6 friends to the wedding because it was his culture. I hadn't even met the guy and he wants to bring his posse? No. Got called a bridezilla

  • To change my date because she was stressed with what to wear and how to arrive.
    One person received a request from a friend asking if the wedding date could be changed until they decided what to wear and how to arrive

  • My fiance's grandmother asked if she should bring potato salad. I thanked her and gently explained we had a caterer

  • My husband's stepmom had the balls to ask us to invite his ex-wife to the wedding

  • Girl [a plus one] asked if she went with me if she could sleep with guys there

  • If we weren't going to have kids, why were we getting married. (My fiance and I were both 50.)

  • Received a call from my neighbor ON my wedding day. "Ugh, hey. Our daughter's soccer team just advanced to regionals. Can the whole team and their parents come to your [black tie] wedding to celebrate?"

  • So far I've had a friend request everything be on the bottom floor of the venue because she has a "fear of heights"... Dude really???

  • My ex-fiance wanted to be IN the wedding... big nope on that one...

  • I didn't invite this girl to my wedding and she sent me a long ass fb message the week before my wedding about how I'm a horrible person



~~~

I thought the potato salad one was fine, but that soccer team one was outrageous.

The potato salad request generated a "bless her heart". The soccer team one had to have been a joke, RIGHT???????

I was the grandma with the potato salad.
Not to tout my own horn, but I make really good potato salad.

There is a group of kids (they are in their 30's, but kids compared to me) that we go camping with. I am always asked to supply the vat of potato salad for the camping weekend.
Two of the 'kids' got married in a civil ceremony and then planned a reception 6 months later. When I received the invite it was billed as a garden party. I half jokingly asked if I should bring the potato salad and was told "Yes".

When we arrived there was a caterer setting up and I was the only one with a 'potluck' contribution. I felt a bit odd man/woman out.

I told LB and NSIL essentially that we couldn’t come to their wedding unless our dog came too. That was probably guestzilla too but honestly, whatever. You can’t just skip a sibling’s wedding without being pretty transparent about your reason. And I’d waited a year for my puppy, the April litter was what worked, and the August litter was set to go home on their wedding weekend so obviously that wouldn’t work. So, such is life. I told them we were going to have a puppy who was too little to board and with their wedding being 4 hours from home, either she needed to come with us or we just couldn’t responsibly travel. If they’d said stay home, I’d have totally accepted that.

That's how weddings on my moms side often were growing up. It was in a farm community and usually in the church basement or the local township hall. The aunts brought a dish to pass and the groom's parents supplied the alcohol. I think I was the third or fourth cousin to do the full sit down catered reception and I'm pretty far down the line. I could totally see one of my aunts offering to bring something to the first kid who went rogue. :P

I’m sorry. I truly cannot understand what you’re trying to say.

If I’m getting this even close to right: The answer was yes because the campground allowed dogs. I’m not sure how much anyone WANTED Herman there but basically either she came or we didn’t. That was how it was. I would have been fine with either choice but I wasn’t going to put off getting the dog for another whole year just for a wedding.

My cousin's wedding is in September. I really want to request that I not be seated with my idiot side of the family. I won't because that would be rude.

I'm kind of debating if I want to make a weekend out of it. Board the dog and spend the night in a fancy hotel with dh.

It's in the Dallas area I think? I really hate driving in Dallas.

Or I could just drive down with my parents and dh and make my parents do all the driving because I'm a giant child like that.

People's lives don't stop for weddings. I don't consider it at all entitled to say you can't attend if you have to leave small dog/baby/alien home alone for x hours. Your brother and SIL chose to have you attend with Herman. If they'd said no, you would have accepted that.

Entitled would have been demanding Herman carry the rings and get her own doggy wedding cake.
