Bride's 'ridiculous' 'bridesmaid contract' sparks outrage online - so would you sign it if you were her friend?
- An outrageous 'bridesmaid contract' has sparked outrage on social media
- It contains 37 rules dictated by a 'bridezilla' to her wedding party
- Bridesmaids are forbidden from gaining more than three kilos before the event
- They cannot intentionally get pregnant and cannot flirt with any male guests
- Lipstick, coloured contact lenses, false eyelashes and hair dye are banned
A 'ridiculous' contract penned by a 'bridezilla' informing her bridal party of her 'expectations' has sparked widespread outrage on social media.
The bride, believed to live in the US, compiled a list of 37 rules for her 10 bridesmaids stipulating what is expected of them ahead of her wedding day.
She said she was prompted to hand out the document after seeing a 'lot of posts about issues with bridesmaids' from other newlyweds online.
'It explained my expectations from beginning to end,' she posted on Facebook, alongside a photo of the contract which immediately drew widespread criticism.
Two of the most outrageous rules forbid bridesmaids from gaining more than three kilos and 'intentionally' getting pregnant before the ceremony.

Matters don't improve on the day itself, with bridesmaids prohibited from 'outdoing the bride in any way'.
This includes a ban on coloured lipstick, coloured contact lenses, false eyelashes - unless professionally applied - and any hair colour except black or brown.
At the reception, members of the bridal party are forbidden from flirting with male guests and must remain 'happy and positive' throughout the night while supporting the bride in whatever she wants to do.
The bride also demanded the women save the equivalent of $65 (AUD) per week for 14 months before the wedding to pay for their 'expenses'.
Tellingly, she admitted only six of her 10 bridesmaids were willing to sign the contract and consent to its terms.
The contract has been universally slammed since it was posted anonymously on Facebook, with readers left speechless by the shocking demands.
'I would screw this contract up and throw it in the bride's face. What an idiot,' one person replied.
'Am I reading this right? Just ridiculous. And I can't believe six people signed it,' added another.
Many said they would refuse to take part in the wedding under such restrictions.
But the bride appeared unfazed by the backlash.
'I started with 10, ended with six. I refused to be stressed. I didn't budge on any of it,' she said.
