Nonstop insults, insinuating they are mentally ill or bad people, yikes. It really makes the parents pushing for their children to be included look entitled, petty and rude. [/quote]

Yep. Pretty much.[/quote]

100%. They keep lashing out at everyone in these made up scenarios and calling people bridezillas as if most of the people here haven't already been married years. This isn't some retro version of The Knot.[/quote]

+1. Its pretty obvious the ones married before 2010 are the ones still using the term “bridezilla.”[/quote]

Someone suggested “gaping narcissist” earlier and I’m good with that. It’s gender neutral too, so also covers grooms. [/quote]

The narcissists are the angry parents.[/quote]

Thinking your wedding is a special day all about you is inherently narcissistic. You might think that narcissism is justified, but it's a simple fact that having a party to celebrate yourself where you prioritize what you want is self centered. [/quote]

Well, that is literally what a wedding is.  It's about a couple joining together for a life together.  And shockingly (to only you, not anyone else) is that why yes, it is about the bride and groom and what they envision for their wedding day.  When you get married, you also get to choose what you want for your day.  Same for everyone else.

This is what YOU think a wedding is. It's not a universal belief, and it's a narcissistic one. It's about ME or US, not the community or the family.

The alternative is perhaps considered old fashioned, but it wasn't that long ago that brides and grooms did effectively no planning for their weddings. [b]Weddings were set by family and local traditions. That's how my wedding was[/b].[/quote]
Ah, we finally get to the crux of the issue. You had no control over YOUR wedding, so you feel the need to dictate how everyone elses is. It's tragic you had no say for your wedding (hopefully you at least picked the person!), but you really have no say on how others celebrate their marriage. [/quote]
