Till death from dehydration do us part?
A bridezilla with a death grip on her wedding day “aesthetic” is getting roasted online after a Reddit post revealed she banned water bottles at her outdoor summer nuptials — because they clashed with the vibe.
It was the big moment of her Pinterest dreams — and her guests’ sweaty nightmares.
Temperatures hit a scorching 102°F, but the bride reportedly refused to allow plastic or reusable bottles at the ceremony, leaving guests to bake in the sun with nothing but cucumber-mint spritzers served in dainty glasses better suited for Instagram than hydration.
“She apparently thought water bottles in photos would ruin the vibe,” the post, uploaded to r/weddingshaming on July 2 claimed — and yes, someone almost passed out during the vows.
Dubbed “The Thirst Games” by the person who made the post, the painfully curated ceremony prioritized a specific aesthetic over pulse rates.
Guests, dressed in sweat-soaked linen and sunstroke-level blush tones, were reportedly left begging for basic hydration.
The Redditor set the scene, writing, “The bride was super into minimalist Pinterest vibes, everything was beige, blush, and white. Like, painfully curated. No loud colors, no mismatched chairs, even the waiters had to wear off-white. It honestly looked like a lifestyle photoshoot, until you realized it was 102°F outside and we were all sweating through our linen outfits.”
There was a single hydration station “after the ceremony,” the Redditor continued, “tucked in a corner with a staff member pouring chilled water into dainty glasses one at a time. The line was insane.”
One elderly guest had to be helped inside with signs of heat exhaustion. The groom’s mother dared to take out a Hydro Flask — and was swiftly reprimanded by a horrified bride who “actually gasped” and sent someone to put it away. (Guess stainless steel isn’t “on-theme.”)
Commenters in the thread were quick to drag the desert-chic debacle.
“Banning water bottles wouldn’t even cross my mind, not because it’s unreasonable, but because who the f—k even thinks of that,” one wrote.
Another added, “OMG she’s lucky she didn’t invite me and get treated to the aesthetic of a guest lying down on the ground with her feet propped up on a chair, while other guests run around calling emergency services.”
Someone else came up with a potential fix for the idea of plastic bottles plaguing the bridezilla, writing, “Glass water bottles. They don’t mess with the color scheme. They’re in like half of the still life’s ever painted. It’s such an obvious solution for her stupid manufactured, self imposed problem and yet she almost killed her husband’s aunt instead.”
An additional user agreed, “Bride was an idiot for not providing a pretty refillable water bottle to every guests as part of the aesthetic… plus it doubles as a favor.”
And if you think this is as unreasonable and out of touch as bridezillas can get, think again.
As The Post previously reported, one bold bride-to-be sparked online outrage after asking wedding guests to cough up $500 each for accommodations — after claiming it was all covered.
According to one peeved Redditor, invitees were originally told they only needed to handle their flights. But just two months before the big day, a surprise bill landed in their inboxes.
If that weren’t enough, the couple also launched five separate GoFundMe pages for their honeymoon, each with a $10,000 goal.
One guest crunched the numbers and realized the couple would actually profit off the venue — charging guests more than the estate rental even costs.
The grifty newlyweds are part of a growing trend of cash-hungry couples turning their “I do” into an “I invoice.”
Weddings aren’t cheap — and with the average American “I do” topping $26K, many cash-strapped couples are now slapping guests with a cover charge just to get in the door.
