Weddings

<p>I&#39;ve read some pretty gnarly bridezilla stories but this one takes the cake, smashes it on the floor, and throws pieces of it at her guests.</p><h2>A photographer who goes by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/bridezillas/comments/e0shss/bridezilla_asks_friend_to_pay_her_to_photograph/" target="_blank">Breathofthemild420</a> on Reddit shared a story about how a bride &quot;friend&quot; attempted to get them to <em>pay $50</em> to photograph her wedding.</h2><p>Yes, you read that right.

But nicely. She was very upset with this and started to cry when I said I&#39;d do the wedding for just $50 which is way below my rate.
