Planning your wedding is exciting, right?
And choosing your nearest and dearest to be in your wedding party is one of the best parts.
But, while you may think you’re bestowing a great honour upon them, the truth is… well, it’s very different.
And this video, created by the clever folk at Buzzed, has revealed EXACTLY why that is,
"I'm not crying because the wedding is beautiful," explains one bridesmaid to the camera. "I'm crying because I spent £1,000 to be in it."
It only gets worse (or better, depending on your P.O.V.) from there.

Oh dear.
Well, it’s obviously not ALWAYS like this for bridesmaids - but, when the bride is being particularly bridezilla-isn, we imagine that they will start snapping the hen party for “potential blackmail”.
The lesson to take away from this is NOT to forget having bridesmaids completely. It’s to remember that, while it’s an honour to have them in your wedding party, it’s also a lot of work, time and money for them.
So maybe try to recognise that fact and show them a little kindness along the way.
It might just turn their inner monologues into something a little more motivational…
