Asking Bridal Party To Lose Weight

I personally think if she's that shallow her marriage has a less than great chance of survival.0

To me telling someone they cannot be in my Bridal Party because I do not like how much they weigh, is similar to telling people they cannot stand up next to me at my wedding because they did not wear what I told them to wear.
I ... I ...
Um ...
Those things, they're not even in the same universe.
They both have to do with a bride kicking people out of the Bridal Party based on an image the bride is going for. To me that is similar.0 -
Lol simple: if you choose your wedding party based on how they fit into the look you want for your photos rather than their love/loyalty/support for you, then you're probably a useless, ornamental, narcissistic piece of crap and your pointless, brief marriage is just a business transaction. So, you might as well have the prettiest people at your party. That's all you've got, after all.

ETA better name calling because I can't stand this sort of stupidity that makes women look like vapid idiots, and I want to stigmatize the *kitten* out of it.0 -
I think she's a total beotch. Don't imitate.0

You know what made my wedding day perfect? Marrying the man I loved and having the people I care most about standing with me.
How anyone looked or what they wore didn't matter one bit.
This to infinity!!0 -
Over-the-top inappropriate. Who are we to judge what is 'perfect' and acceptable. Has someone or can someone demand that you lose weight ... ever in your life; for any reason?
There is no such thing as 'perfect' and if the bride wants 'perfect' people in her wedding party she shouldn't ask people and expect them to lose weight for her event. How shallow of this person.0 -
Shouldn't she be more concerned how SHE looks? Weddings are about the bride and groom announcing to their family and friends just how much they love each other. I recently got married and I would never in a million years ask my friends to lose weight just to be in my wedding. If she is embarrassed by how they look then she should have asked some one else to be in her wedding.. Thats nt a very good friend if you ask me... Just my opinion!0

My cousin just started a side business focusing on helping women loose weight in preparation for weddings. She has two bridal parties as clients in the week since she started.0

Your friend should have picked out the shapes she wanted in her wedding party and asked them to stand up with her. FRIENDS ? If she is only worried about looks, she probably asked the wrong people. I have never heard of anything so ridiculous !0

then you havent been following the news this week...
" Paula Deen used racial slurs and wanted to host a “Plantation style” wedding featuring black waiters costumed to look like slaves"
i think that wins for ridiculousness.0 -
My bridesmaid was quite heavy. She still is. I wouldn't dream of asking her to lose weight FOR ME! for a wedding, or any other occasion.0
-
Then my cousin's SIL was HUGE with twins for my cousin's wedding and the only similar dress they could find was tea length while the rest of us wore full-length gowns with trains. The SIL was still welcome in the bridal party.
That's how it should be!
-signed, person who has no ambitions to get married so don't assume I'm saying this because I'm a bridezilla lol
I don't know ANYONE who would ditch a bridesmaid over a dress. Well, not any more lol.
She asked as a formality, believe me. I got really teary eyed when she asked me to be a bridesmaid, I felt like I was really special to her as a friend, she knew it meant a lot to me.0 -

your friend sounds certifiable.0
-
Anyone who would be asked to be a bridesmaid would have known the bride for some time, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to them what a whack job she is and having stayed friends with her they pretty much deserve what they get. So as far as I can tell, it all works itself out.0

See You Next Tuesday......:noway:0
-
Lol, no. I'd never do that to someone. If someone asked me to do that, I'd tell them to start looking for my replacement.0
-
I would be like... OK deal.... but you must pay for my personal instructor, and he most be a hot single guy.... that's my request for m to be part of your stupid bridal party0
-
Omg. I'm pretty vain and weight obsessed but I think that's incredibly rude and self absorbed. I'd tell the bride to take a hike.0

See, I think this is good, starting a business and helping people at the same time. Wedding photos are imortalised forever, and wedding videos are hauled out and watched on many an occasion.
I think it's a good thing to want to lose a few kgs and trim down for an occassion. Be it a wedding, a holiday or whatever.
I said in a previous post that if the bride is asking people to lose weight across the board of the bridal party can get awkward. Having said that asking them a month before the wedding isnt' nice, and threatening being cut from the team is also very bridezilla-ish!!!0
