Weddings are meant to be exciting, but the stress surrounding planning and expenses can often eclipse the main event — or at least, that's the excuse I give rude brides and grooms on their big day. Regardless of any grace we try to offer our loved ones when they turn into bride/groomzillas, here are 16 couples I simply cannot defend:

1.This couple made their bridesmaids and groomsmen sign a contract saying they are legally obligated to give them a gift valued at over $500 and each have to host a party in the couple's honor at a venue outside of their home:

2.This bride decided to ask a Facebook group to "roast" the ring her partner planned on proposing with after she accidentally stumbled upon the surprise hidden in a nightstand:

3.This guy got into an Uber pool with a couple on the way to their wedding, and they were mad at him for joining:

4.This bride asked all of her bridesmaids to cut their hair and dye it the same exact color so that everyone would look cohesive on her day:

5.This couple has been struggling with fertility, and after spending a lot of money and time on a specialist, they were finally set up for a successful implantation. However, the couple's in-laws are planning to get married around the time the baby would potentially be due, so the bride and groom are asking that they skip having a baby until the wedding is over:

6.This guy used to be the groom's boss, and he rejected the couple's invite to their wedding because the groom previously stole from his company. Despite this, the couple is still asking him for a "monetary gift":

7.This person asked their friend to bake them a wedding cake that can feed 75+ people...but they're refusing to help cover the cost of materials:

8.This bride is upset because the bartenders she hired want to keep their tips. She feels like the money guests give them for a job well done should go to her honeymoon fund instead:

9.This bride can't believe no one has offered to pay for her to get her nails done because, without it, she can't take any good pics with her ring:

10.This couple let people know they weren't invited to their wedding, but that they still expected a gift from their registry:

11.This bride demanded she receive a wedding dress for $10. Please be so serious:

12.And speaking of cheap brides, this one said guests would not be allowed entry into the wedding unless their gift was worth at least $75 or more:

13.And this bride wants someone to shoot her entire wedding for free:

14.Meanwhile, this bride decided to call out people who RSVP'd "yes" to her wedding but hadn't bought her a gift yet:

15.This bride admits she "has money to pay for things," but still feels like her husband's family should do more than just pay for the rehearsal dinner:

16.And finally, this "influencer" couple with less than 20,000 followers combined are offering exposure in return for free wedding products:
