Bride threatens to cut bridesmaids from the wedding if they refuse her demands, including ‘performance availability’

IT'S no secret that weddings can be pretty stressful, especially if you're the bride-to-be, but one woman took demanding to another level with a long message she sent to her wedding party.

Of course, there are the normal things to consider when you agree to be a bridesmaid, like planning a hen-do and dress shopping.

But when this bride-to-be demanded all her bridesmaids perform a special dance or be cut from the big day, people were left divided.

In a message that was allegedly sent to the bridesmaids, the bride said: "I need everyone's availability for dance performances.

"I need you all to respond and whoever doesn't respond clearly doesn't care to be a part of my bridal team.

"If you can't respect that fact that I'm texting you you guys can kindly excuse yourselves because we're all adults and need to figure out this stuff because I'm starting to stress now."

The bride went on to point out that the wedding was only four months away, leaving little time to put together all she had planned for the big event.

It wasn't just one dance performance she wanted for her wedding though, she told her nearest and dearest friends there would be multiple songs and they all had to dance for "at least one."

The bride also demanded updates on each bridesmaid's dress situation, asking to see a picture of their final choice for approval.

And that's not all, she also wanted to know exactly what each of them were planning to do for their hair and makeup.

The blunt text message found its way onto a Facebook group and people were stunned by how harsh it seemed.

One said: "If you guys can't RESPECT my desire to throw MYSELF an elaborate party and plan your lives around ME, just LEAVE."

A second slammed: "Do brides forget they're supposed to like their friends?"

And a third said: "I hope the next thing she saw was a string of 'xxx has left the chat'."

Meanwhile, someone else was more shocked she made her bridesmaids sort out their own hair and makeup.

She wrote: "I booked makeup and hair for all of my bridesmaids and was ready to pay for them (they insisted on paying!!) what is this 'be ready to do a dance number and also who's doing your hair and where are you saying' nonsense?"

"If someone asked me to do a dance performance I would simply never talk to them again," another commented on the anonymous post.

Another mocked: "We’re all adults BUT I demand everyone do a performative dance."

And someone else pointed out that dance performances are pretty common at weddings for some cultures "but her delivery is quite sour."
