Strange Request for a wedding?

Why is the term Bridezilla used? Can we not just refer to them as stupid?

A bridezilla is the name us wedding planners give to brides that make unreasonable demands as well as constantly changing their minds.

I have never heard of people not being able to have facial hair that is just plain nuts. I would be inclined to ask why and then decide whether or not to attend, if you don't attend then think of it as moneysaving in that you don't need to buy new clothes or buy a present.:D

That's the weirdest request I've heard and I've heard a few.

What are they going to do? Have people on the door with razors if someone turns up with facial hair?!

Has your OH seen the invite yet?

I still think it's a bloke joke to wind your OH up, especially if the groom is his boss/ mate.

I cannot believe that anyone would agree to going on a stag do costing £450 if it meant sacrificing their annual holiday, even if it was their boss!:eek::eek::eek:

It's an excuse for an extended boys' night out, that the husband enjoys as well as the groom to be, and the wife might forgive this on the understanding it's a one off for that friend.

The wife will not necessarily be expected to be so understanding if the friend expects it for any subsequent weddings!

So, one night for the husband and his best mate v the annual holiday for husband and missus (children?)

I wouldn't even go there, and even if I did, I would be very worried about the consequences - sharp, hard objects, being drawn across soft, sensitive spherical objects:eek:

Moomin21, I'm dying to know what's behind this. Can't you phone or mail the bride-to-be and let us all know what her reasons are?

Tell him to keep the beard, but cover it up with a veil or burka! (Why have I got this image of Sid James with a veil... was it from Carry On Up the Khyber?)

Or shave off the beard but wear some hideos 70s' suit or punk gear or something! Let them shove that in their pipe and smoke it!

i did suggest a burka earlier..might get a bit hot as it is in august!

i am very tempted to text the bride!!

I've just checked the website for the wedding (yes, there is a website) and there is no mention of facial hair on that, so maybe it was just our invitation!!!! will have to ask others what their invitations said!! it did state the rest of the male dress code tho:

"National dress, No.1 dress, Morning Attire or Lounge Suits."

no idea what 'no 1 dress' is...tux?! i read morning attire as pyjamas!!

for the women it says 'colour is always welcome at a summer wedding'...i might take that to an extreme :)
