Bride-to-Be Demands Bridesmaid Dye Her Hair for Upcoming Wedding Because She Didn't Want Her 'Punk Rock Look'
The woman shared in a post on Reddit's popular 'Bridezillas' subreddit that she recently had an exchange with the bride, which 'rubbed' her 'the wrong way' and wanted to know how to handle the situation.
She shared a screenshot of the text the bride supposedly sent her, which read: 'I meant to mention this and forgot… Bridesmaid dresses are going to be a bright, deep red so you may want to go back to black for a short amount of time. Sorry to f--- up your punk rock look.'
The bridesmaid said her friend made a comment joking about her bright red hair — which she said she could 'handle' — but then told her sister that she was 'going to dye it back to black.' The bridesmaid noted that this was something she 'never said' she 'would do.'
'It just felt like she was making decisions about me without asking, and that rubbed me the wrong way,' she wrote on Reddit. 'I don't want to be dramatic, but I'm starting to feel like maybe I should still attend her wedding but not be a bridesmaid.'
'I would never ask my friends to change how they look for my big day, especially something as personal as their hair. Am I overthinking this?' she added.
She also noted that she felt that the way her friend has spoken to her has 'changed' over 'the past few years' and she can come off 'really harsh or dismissive.' She said it has gotten to the point where she sometimes feels like she's 'walking on eggshells around her.'
In response, several people on Reddit suggested that she send a message to her friend asking if she meant what she said about her bridesmaid having to dye her hair. One person said that if the bride said she 'meant it' then the bridesmaid should decline.
One person commented: '[It's absurd of people to try to change you for 'their' big day. a) it is not yours, b) it is only one day but you are supposed to bend to their will and do something costly and time consuming and potentially damaging…'
Another person suggested that the woman 'stay blunt' to her friend as 'people pleasing gets you nothing but walked on.'

They continued, 'if I were you, I would tell her I was stepping down as a bridesmaid. This is nothing short of a personal attack. If it were me, I couldn't enjoy the wedding if I thought the bride was obsessed with my hair.'
Another added, 'if someone is asking this of you, they are not a friend who accepts you completely as you are, and that should be your most important consideration.'

Meghan Markle's former friend Jessica Mulroney splits from husband
The Duchess of Sussex's former best friend, Jessica Mulroney, has reportedly split from her husband after almost 17 years of marriage. Sources have told Page Six that the Canadian stylist, 45, is no longer wearing her wedding ring and broke the news to friends when she attended a wedding solo in Toronto last month. You may also like Princess Kate interrupts family break with major announcement Why Prince Harry could miss out on major role Princess Beatrice makes incognito appearance with family Another insider told the US outlet that Jessica and her husband, Ben Mulroney, had reportedly separated "some time ago". Jessica shares three children with Ben – who is the son of former Canadian Prime Minister, the late Brian Mulroney and his widow, Mila. The couple have twin sons, Brian and John, 14, and daughter Ivy, 12, were part of the bridal party at Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding in Windsor in May 2018 – where Jessica also acted as the bride's maid of honour. HELLO! has reached out to Jessica Mulroney's representatives for comment. Fallout with Meghan Former actress Meghan first met stylist Jessica on the set of Suits, and the pair formed a close friendship, even going on girls' holidays together. But in 2020, the pair reportedly fell out amid a racism scandal when influencer Sasha Exeter called out Jessica for displaying "textbook white privilege" within the fashion blogging community. And when Jessica apologised, citing Meghan as one of her "closest friends", the Duchess reportedly put an end to their friendship. The stylist has not featured on Meghan's new Instagram account since the Duchess returned to the social media platform at the start of 2025 and she did not appear in the Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Close friends Abigail Spencer, Kelly McKee Zajfen, Delfina Figueras and Daniel Martin all notably made appearances on the show. Jessica is thought to have briefly featured in the Sussexes' Netflix series, Harry & Meghan, released in 2022. Moments before Harry proposed in the garden of Nottingham Cottage, Meghan was seen video calling a friend. She was heard saying: "Oh my God Jess, it's happening. He told me not to peek."

Alison Brie and Dave Franco's Anniversary Tradition Involves a Slightly 'Embarrassing' Rewatch of Their Proposal (Exclusive)
The couple got engaged in 2015 during a trip to Big Sur, CaliforniaNEED TO KNOW Alison Brie and Dave Franco revealed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that their wedding anniversary tradition involves a slightly "embarrassing" rewatch of their proposal Only Franco has the proposal video on his phone, he says, because "I know she'll send it to everyone she knows, and it's very embarrassing for me" The couple got engaged in 2015 during a trip to Big Sur, California, and married in 2017Dave Franco and Alison Brie celebrate their wedding anniversary each year with a little stroll down memory lane. During an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the Los Angeles premiere of their new film Together, the couple, who married in 2017, revealed that their anniversary tradition involves a slightly "embarrassing" rewatch of their proposal. Only, there is a bit of a catch. Franco, 40, has a video of the proposal on his phone — but Allison, 42, does not. "I don't have any ownership," she says, prompting Franco to explain, "I know she'll send it to everyone she knows, and it's very embarrassing for me." Instead, Franco lets Brie watch the video just once a year — on their anniversary. As for why the video is embarrassing for Franco, the pair comically detailed to PEOPLE how the proposal didn't go quite as planned. At the time, they were set to take a trip to Big Sur, California — one of their "favorite places on Earth" — and Franco decided it would be the ideal time to propose. However, he didn't have a ring yet because he knew Brie wanted to choose it with him and have their friend, jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth, make it. "So the day before we left for Big Sur, I was like, 'You know what? I should have a placeholder ring, just to have something to put on her finger.' So I went to this antique store down the street from us and I got what I thought was a really cool old ring," Franco recalls. "I was like, 'Okay, I don't have the actual ring, but I have the mask.' And that's going to be this sweet thing where she's going to realize, I kept this mask from the first time we met, which kind of proves, this was love at first sight," he continues, referring to a silver Zorro mask that Brie was wearing when they met while celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans, in 2011. As Franco prepared to pop the question in Big Sur in August 2015, he took Brie to a spot with a stunning view and told her he wanted to take her photo. Related: "So I set up a video, she's looking out at the view. She turns around, I'm on one knee, I'm wearing the mask, I got the antique ring, the placeholder ring," Franco recounts. But his sweet gesture fell flat when Brie failed to grasp the significance of the mask. "I have no memory of this mask," the Community star tells PEOPLE. "I mean, I remember it from the weekend, but I had no idea he had kept it all the time." The antique ring, meanwhile, was not in a ring box, but rather in a big box with "a paper napkin from a convenience store," Brie notes. Needless to say, it wasn't the perfectly romantic moment that Franco had envisioned. "What she sees is, I'm wearing this stupid Zorro mask and holding up this janky ring," the Neighbors actor recalls. "He just says, 'Will you marry me?' And I go, 'Huh?' " Brie continues. "I started laughing." Amid all this, Franco is desperately trying to make Brie understand why he was wearing the mask and that a proper ring was forthcoming. "And then I let out an exuberant, 'Yes,' " Brie recalls. "The whole time he's explaining, 'I kept this mask all these years because I knew that you were the one.' I'm like, 'But are you being serious?' I'm looking at this janky ring in this box and he's like, 'Irene is going to make your ring,' and I go, 'Yes!' " The couple went on to marry in an intimate ceremony in 2017. Brie later shared during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that her favorite moment from the wedding was the vows. "We wrote our own and didn't know what the other person was going to say," she said at the time. "It's funny to hear them out loud and you feel like, 'We said all the same things that we want to be for each other.' That was very sweet."

Months after tying the knot with Franco, Brie shared a little insight into their life together as a married couple. "Something about being married made me feel so settled, almost more free, I guess, rather than like trapped," she told PEOPLE in November 2017. "It's great. So now, let's go do whatever we want. Onward and upward." Together is in theaters now. Read the original article on People

Kristin Davis recalls filming 'mortifying' 'Sex and the City' scene: 'I'm mad that I had to do it'
During a wedding scene, Charlotte was groped on the dance floor by the best man's father. Kristin Davis says her anger in one Sex and the City scene was unfortunately real. On her podcast Are You a Charlotte?, Davis looked back on the season 2 episode titled "Chicken Dance," which followed the group's experience at the wedding between Miranda's (Cynthia Nixon) interior decorator and an old friend. During the wedding, Charlotte (Davis) has a tryst with the best man Martin and meets his dad. After Charlotte agrees to dance with the father, he gropes her, causing her to shriek. She then angrily confronts Martin about what happened, but he doesn't believe her. Davis said on her podcast that her reaction on the show was her "real mad face." She claimed that the director of the episode had instructed her scene partner to "grab her ass" harder, which she said was embarrassing. "I'm mad that I had to do it," she said. "I'm mad that this man had to grab my butt. It's, like, mortifying, you know?"The And Just Like That actress said that she and the rest of the production team had been "exhausted" filming this episode, which didn't help. She recalled a line of crew members asleep against a wall while she was shooting the scene. "I remember thinking, like, 'Man, we got a crazy show,'" she said. "Crazy show. Up all night long for 24 hours trying to make this craziness? Wow." Listen to the full episode of Are You a Charlotte? below.
