Worse, she made them foot the bill for mandatory jewelry.

Redditor Suzy9mm shared the wedding drama in a viral post.
“It takes a fair amount to blow my mind, but this bride just blew my f**king mind,” they prefaced.
They explained that their coworker had been part of a wedding ceremony that shocked them to their core.
“I asked how it went and she said she had a great time and started showing me some pictures,” they said.
“She looks absolutely radiant, and the venue is gorgeous. By all accounts, it looked like it was an absolutely lovely day.”
It quickly went downhill when they noticed she was wearing a strange necklace.
“[The] bride basically brands all of her bridesmaids,” they said.
“She’s scrolling through her camera roll when, about a dozen pictures in, she shows me a selfie in which I notice she is wearing a gold necklace that says ‘Emily.
“The thing is, my coworker’s name is Meredith.
“You guys… This freaking bride actually made all her bridesmaids get necklaces WITH HER NAME ON IT!”
The Redditor couldn’t help but laugh at the scenario.
“I am DYING. Who the hell does that!? I’m sorry, but is that not hilariously insane!?” they said.
“All her bridesmaids had to pay for and wear ‘Emily’ necklaces to the wedding. If I was capable of shutting up, I’d be speechless.”
While Meredith didn’t mind the jewelry, the Redditor explained that it permanently colored their perspective of the bride.

“No names have been changed, so Emily, if you’re reading this, Meredith spoke very highly of you and your event… because she is the sweetest person who has ever been made,” they said.
“I’m the one who thinks you’re batty and hereby shame you.”
Others agreed that the mandatory purchase was not just a little “batty” but completely off-the-rails.
“This is my favorite story I’ve read on here in awhile. What a rare, beautiful blend of very low-stakes and also completely unhinged,” said one commenter.

“I really, really want to know what the thought process behind that decision was.”
“Bridesmaids have pledged to name their firstborns Emily. ALL OF THEM,” joked another.
“Even if they only have sons,” added a third.
“Have we stopped to consider that the bridesmaids may have gotten lost, and that was the information the rescue services needed to guide them to the correct wedding?” quipped one commenter.
“Meredith needs to adopt a dog and name it Emily. Then, she can have that necklace attached to the dog’s collar,” suggested another.
