Fiction. Original story. Made with ChatsRat.
The story in this video
My bride cousin sent every guest a 14 page rulebook
My cousin is getting married, and three weeks before the wedding every guest received a fourteen page document called The Plan. It had a dress code by the hour, a ban on laughing during photographs, and a seating chart with a colour for how important you were. I was grey. Grey was "supporting cast". I read the whole thing, and on page thirteen it said guests must not eat before the bride has finished eating. The bride eats very slowly. I brought a sandwich. I ate it in the car park, on time, in a grey cardigan, and I clapped at the right moments. At the reception she found me and said the sandwich was "off plan". I said I had followed page thirteen exactly. She has not decided yet whether that counts as a complaint.
About 53 seconds read aloud. An original story written for ChatsRat, with invented people and no real places or businesses.
How a bridezilla story works
A bridezilla story is about a bride, or a bride-to-be, who treats every guest, bridesmaid and relative as staff.
- The beats
- An impossible instruction, a guest who follows it to the letter, and a calm last line that leaves the bride with nothing to answer.
- What makes it work
- Specific rules (a colour, a time, a number of chairs) are funnier than general bad behaviour, and the narrator stays polite throughout.
- What to leave out
- Real wedding venues or vendors, the real names of anyone in your life, and cruelty about a person's body. Aim at the rules, not the person.

Four twists for a bridezilla story
The reveal
Then the groom stood up, took the microphone, and thanked everyone for being so patient. He said he had been trying to say no for a year, and he had just run out of things to agree to.
The update
The wedding happened. The photographer said it was the most organised chaos she had ever seen. The bride sent a thank you card to every guest, and signed all of them with a smiley face.
Karma
A month later I heard that the honeymoon booking had been made for the wrong dates. The bride spent the first week at home, and the groom, I am told, painted the hallway.
The receipts
I still have the fourteen pages, the laminated swatch and the chat screenshots. I did not post them. I framed one line from page thirteen, and it hangs above my kitchen table.
