Bride Writes Insane 37 Rule Contract and Demands That Her Bridesmaids Sign It

A demanding bride has gone viral after she shared a contract that she drew up for her bridesmaids to ensure that every single aspect of her wedding day remains under her strict control.

The woman demanded that her friends not gain more than 3kg before her wedding, and made them promise not to “attempt to outdo the bride in any way”.

Her contract states that the bridesmaids require a doctor’s note if they miss a dress fitting or the hen’s night, and they must not intentionally fall pregnant before the wedding.

The uncertified paperwork also gives the bride complete control of the bridesmaids’ appearances and spare time – there is a ban on fake DIY lashes and her closest friends must hand over their “normal seven-day schedule” within five days of signing it.

This is taking white-knuckled control to a whole new level, we must admit.

The document was shared on Facebook by the bride herself, who said she had read a lot of stories about having issues with bridesmaids.

“I gave out contracts. It explained my expectations from beginning to end,” she wrote.

She added: “I refused to be stressed and didn’t budge on any of it.”

Her post didn’t go down well with some of the “bossy” bride-to-be’s friends, who slammed her for her insane demands. Once her contract hit the wider public, people had plenty to say.

“I can’t believe six people signed it,” one person wrote on social media.

Another added: “I would screw this contract up and throw it in the bride’s face. What an idiot.”

“Yeah… I’d rather jump off a bridge…”
