Entitled cousin offers to do bride's and bridesmaids' hair and makeup for a ‘mates rate‘, ends up taking bride's honeymoon suite and upending all wedding plans: ‘I don't want her at any parties or events I throw from now on’

You can't always trust family members to keep their word… especially on your big day.

Major milestones are not the time to expect your family to be on their best behavior. For all you know, they've been waiting to kick you down while you're trying to lift yourself up. Graduations, engagements, weddings… Envy tends to reveal itself no matter the occasion. You don't want to be on the lookout for entitled family members the entire time when you should be present and taking in all the good vibes, but it's important to remember that not everyone will look out for your best interest.

Weddings tend to bring out the worst in people. This goes for brides, grooms, immediate family, extended family, guests… the whole lot. When you put that many different personalities into one chapel and reception hall, you're bound to realize you signed up for it when you chose to send out invitations to everyone you know. The bride in this next story regrets hiring her cousin to do her and her bridesmaids' hair and makeup when she realizes her cousin is a mooch. What does that entail? More chaos than you could ever imagine, honestly. Scroll to read.

This would've been the end of most brides' ropes. The very fact that the cousin was comfortable taking the honeymoon suite, reserved for the bride and her groom, tells us all we need to know. Red flag number one, if you will. The bride can overlook childcare oversight, as that's out of the cousin's control. But the suite-stealing? I'm surprised that no one decided to tell the bride she's out of her mind! But even still, this isn't the bride's fault… She thought she was doing what was needed for family.
