The stereotypical image of a ‘bridezilla’ has been brought back to public attention over the matter of glasses, thanks to the quandary of a bridesmaid who says her future sister-in-law has banned her from wearing them to her brother’s wedding.

People have flocked to the Reddit thread commenting with sympathy, outrage and criticism.

The future bridesmaid described her dilemma of being asked by the future bride to go without glasses for the entirety of the occasion, despite not being able to wear contact-lenses, because candid photographs would also be taken.

“I don't know why she thinks this is a good idea, my glasses are fashionable and I've been told by multiple people that I look better with them on,” she wrote.

“My vision is terrible, so I'd have to be led around everywhere, I'd never be able to find anyone if I needed them for anything,” she added.

The bridesmaid explained that her future sister-in-law has continued insisting that she cannot wear the glasses despite her attempting a compromise by not wearing them for only the ceremony. She also added that her brother: “shrugged his shoulders and asked me to try to do it, because it meant a lot to her.”

Asking for advice and suggestions in the Reddit thread, the future bridesmaid said she didn’t know whether the wedding was making her sister-in-law “crazy and obsessed with things that don’t matter.”

One person replied: “Your compromise totally sounds sane. The fact she wants you not to have your eyes on (basically, I'm blind too! lol) for the rest of the evening is bridezilla insane.”

“It doesn't matter if you have the most sparkly, white, crystal, idc glasses - you cannot force someone to not wear pair of glasses for sake of ‘feel’,” they added.

Another person agreed with their sentiment, commenting: “I actually think the compromise is going too far! Asking a person to not wear their glasses is totally unreasonable.”

One woman said that she too had shared the experience and that it had led to the end of her friendship with the bride. The bride said the woman’s glasses would “ruin" her photos.

“This was right after I spent a thousand dollars on the bridesmaid dress she picked out, cross-country flight to her hometown, and hotel she chose.”

“I decided right then that we weren't friends anymore,” she added.
