If you’re one of the million who has yet to see this video on YouTube, check it out. A bridesmaid records the bride entering the hotel room from the hair salon, in tears over her Shirley Templesque hair. She breaks down, freaks out and cuts off some of her locks.
So… real or not? I assumed real right off the bat. I’ve seen something similar to this happen IRL, not to mention Bridezillas, and she does not seem like she’s acting. But I’ve been wrong before, and there are a few niggling details, like: Where did those scissors come from? Did she go to the salon by herself? Also, has anyone snagged her for an interview yet?
If it’s real, who would want to be the stupid bitch’s friend anyway? I thought it was funny that they were laughing at her. She deserved it. She wouldn’t let them help her, she cuts her hair and them blames them for letting her do it? Man I feel sorry for the guy who married her. If it’s real.
I watched it without sound, but don’t all the girls usually go to the salon together. I found it hard to believe she came back by herself? However, if they were pranking, that one girl wouldn’t keep laughing??
Maybe I’m just really cynical, but I got very strong fake vibes from this. Why was the camera running to begin with? The bridemaids were just hanging out in the hotel room, not really doing anything entertaining. Why did the bride get her hair cut only about an hour before the wedding? Where did the scissors come from and why did no one take them away? Why did the bridesmaid keep filming even thoroughout the entire tirade? And, most importantly, why didn’t they just wash and restyle her hair (or have the hairdresser fix it at the salon)? Plus, the bride hitting the camera looks fake (especially at the end) and the way the bridesmaids were talking at the beginning just sounded really phony. The whole thing just reminds me too much of the videos we made in my high school TV and Film class.
A couple of the bridesmaids were sisters of the bride and I can see how they would be more likely to record “another one of her tantrums” than a friend. There are a couple of versions floating around. In one of them, there is a longer intro of the bridesmaids talking and joking around before the bride showed up that makes it seem more real.
It’s right before the wedding, an hour before in fact, and I imagine that the young lady has been under an insane amount of stress up till then and probably was operating on very little sleep over the previous few days.
I think it’s real and it cracked me up. Ironically, the only other person I know who I thought would also find it funny was my ex-wife (who is nothing like the bride) so I forwarded the link to her.
Simply running a pick through the curls, or a comb might have helped. You’d have to be careful not to fluff the curls, but just loosening them would make them look nicer. A bit of styling and hairspray and she’d have been presentable. If the video is real, I’d bet she’s a pampered princess, maybe an executive of some sort who has people hired to babysit her. Washing the hair is out of question given the length and thickness of the hair, the time constraints, and the fact her makeup was already done. I don’t get why they didn’t get the scissors from her either. I’d have handed them off to someone and told them to HIDE them early on, as she was wrenching the flowers out myself. The camera was running as a kind of video diary of the wedding day. (I get the feeling the friend who was camera person isn’t the most socially apt person myself, and sort of in horrified shock she kept it going. I think the laughter was nervous disbelief. And even if she was outright laughing at the tantrum, it proves she’s rather clueless, and that’s why she kept taping it.) Maybe it was going to be a gift to her, and include the ritual of primping and getting pretty before the ceremony? The camera person wasn’t a sister, she was a friend, the bride even referred to “I won’t be your friend!” at the end. As for not asking the hairstylist to fix it, maybe the bride was in shock, and before she could thaw out the stylist had ushered her out and taken in her next appointment? The bride might have felt like she couldn’t pitch a fit in front of someone else she didn’t know?
Because that would have made too much sense. I really hope it’s not real but if it is, wow. That woman is psycho. I mean, what kind of twisted logic must someone have that they’d cut their hair off over a bad styling job rather than just washing it out and having your bridesmaids help you fix it? Insane.
In the bride’s defense, wedding hair tragedy is pretty common, and it’s the last thing you need before a wedding. My wife told me after the fact about something that happened before our wedding. Background: she’d been growing her bangs for months for the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, she went to get her hair done. We got married in Vegas, so it wasn’t her usual hairstylist. She sits in the chair, and first thing, before even talking about what she wants, the stylist grabs her bangs and WHACK! cuts 'em off. Done in an instant, no time to react or do anything. She was in tears, but got it back together for the ceremony. Of course, in pre-wedding photos, her eyes look pretty red.
That’s why I did my own. I got tons of compliments and people asked me who did my hair. I was proud to say “I did.” All of my bridesmaids got their hair done though and at least two of them wished they’d just done their own hair too.
I still think the bride could have done something much more logical than cutting it off. What the hell was that little episode going to solve? I’d have found a way to wash and redo it, comb it out, put it up, whatever. She had plenty of capable females there to help her. Instead she chose to act like a drama queen.
Heh… The key words in the phrase you quoted were “someone she didn’t know”. Again, washing it wasn’t feasible given the time constraints, (and the fact that she was wearing makeup) but it surely could have been combed out and redone. I don’t know that it’s fake, I’ve known drama queens, and I wouldn’t put the events in that video past at least one I knew at one point. (Thank goodness she moved! She latched onto me, I think my “sucker” and “mooch off me” tattoos have faded now too.) I am still not quite sure if it’s real or not, but the drama queening isn’t what I find unconvincing. Sadly, there are “adults” out there who do throw tantrums just like that, enough of them that it makes some of us wince. People like her are the reasons the word “Bridezilla” was coined, after all.
Within seconds of the “bride” showing up it screamed FAKE FAKE FAKITY FAKE FAKE to me… the emotions and actions were all wrong.
I’m going to leave myself some wiggle room by saying that some people have skewed emotional states and are basically nonstop faking even in real life just to try to up the drama or blame other people… real histrionic personality types… and that could conceivably be the case here, but then why the magic scissors from nowhere?
I do believe you can see the scissors on the toilet when she first goes into the bathroom. Scissors are useful for opening packages (so you don’t ding your nails) or cutting loose threads, so it’s plausible that they would be there.
