Woman sends list of rules to wedding guests soon a lot of them start cancelling

A bride planned a flawless wedding with strict rules, but faced backlash. She and her fiancé banned phones during the ceremony and dinner, rejecting exceptions for parents needing to check on kids. They enforced a black-only dress code—no exceptions, upsetting her grieving aunt and sister-in-law with body dysmorphia. Bridesmaids were told to maintain their weight for pre-ordered dresses, angering her mother and prompting cancellations.

The maid of honor refused to leave her daughter, the flower girl, with a babysitter, costing the bride her role. Posting on Reddit’s “AITAH,” the couple sought validation, but users called them unreasonable. Commenters said guests aren’t obligated to follow excessive demands and can decline. The consensus: their inflexible rules alienated loved ones. What do you think of their demands?
