Weddings and Money: Quite the catch

Quite the catch

By Ms. Piggy - 02/03/2014 19:09 - United States - Clarksville

Today, I was shopping for dresses when my fiancé turned into what I can only call a groomzilla. He told me and my maid of honor that we need to lose weight because he's not "paying all this money for a pair of fatties to not look good." FML

Shush

Today, I went in to pick my wedding dress. My fiancé's ex-girlfriend was my consultant. She basically hinted that I looked fat in every dress. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Food fight

By hss - 30/05/2011 01:59 - United States

Today, my fiancé and I had a fight because he wouldn't let me get what I wanted to eat, even though it was my money. He said, "It's way too many calories. I'm supposed to help you lose weight." When I pointed out that I had given up a month ago, he looked at me and said, "Yeah, I can tell." FML

How rude

By drebel - 09/03/2011 22:27 - United States

Today, I bought my fiancée a dress for her birthday. She accused me of saying she was fat, because I bought it in medium rather than small. After trying on the dress, she's now not only mad at me for buying it, but also because the dress fits perfectly. FML

Dodging a bullet

By Lard - 19/09/2024 08:00 - United States

Today, my fiance called off our engagement, all because I let myself go due to comfort eating and depression since my mother passed and I got fired from work. He told me to lose 60 pounds or he “won’t consummate the marriage with my lard ass.” Our wedding and honeymoon were less than a month away. FML

Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML

Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML

Today, during my wedding ceremony, the groom-to-be found it appropriate to blurt out about an ongoing affair with my maid of honor. They got married instead. FML

The worst

By Anonymous - 17/06/2016 07:04 - United States - Bellingham

Today, I was buried in texts from two of my bridesmaids about how much they hated their dresses. Dresses they helped pick. I can either be a bridezilla, put up with this for 4 more months, or ruin two friendships. FML

Today, after months of dieting, I finally reached my goal weight. Excitedly I told my boyfriend, who gave me a beautiful dress as an early Christmas present. It was a size too small. FML

The wedding is off, right? Because if he thinks he can just call the two of you "fatties", he's not worth it.

There's no excuse for him to be acting like a complete dick no matter the amount of stress he is under. He has no right to pick on your weight OP.

He actually has that right if she let herself go as soon as he had proposed. Happens a the time. But that's not what he bargained for.

Last I checked, you never have a right to "pick on" anyone for their weight. If he wants to have a conversation about it, that's fine. If you think it's okay to berate someone over their weight during such a fun experience, totally out of the blue, then I feel sorry for your future SO.

Sorry, but I've known my husband 9 years and been married to him for 6, and if he said something this awful to me it would be over. That was a terribly cruel thing to say to the woman he is supposed to love and cherish. She is supposed to know that there is always one person who thinks she's beautiful, even when she doesn't feel that way, and he's a failure in that regard.

My husband was a groomzilla of sorts the closer we got to the wedding. Never called me a fatty though.

Well then, guess who's gonna be a bachelor very soon with that attitude.

I'm just wondering...are you the cruel fiance? You're the only one who doesn't seem totally appalled by this. I drag my husband shopping all the time. No matter how bored or annoyed he is, he would never tell me I look bad. There is literally no way the fiance thought this and didn't realize it was cruel, unless he is a child. They tend to be blatantly honest, no matter what.

There are many ways to ask for things, he needs to accept your metabolism and you need to try to lose weight not because you look bad but because it's healthy.There shouldn't be a wedding until he changes his attitude sweetheart
