I had six strict rules for my wedding and people said I have 'control issues' - I'm not a bridezilla, people need to learn respect

A woman has revealed six controversial wedding rules that saw her being dubbed a 'bridezilla' by unimpressed guests. 

Newlywed Rachel, from Orange County, California, laid out a strict list of rules for her guests, which prompted people to accuse her of having 'control issues'. 

However, she claimed that naysayers just couldn't 'respect' the rules she and her partner decided to set for their big day. 

Taking to her TikTok @hairbyrayyycheelll the bride shared a clip, which racked up more than 9.7 million views, detailing her demands for her nuptials - including nobody under the age of 21, despite countless guests asking to bring their children.

Rachel only made an exception for the flower girl and ring bearer — who went home right after the ceremony. 

Newlywed Rachel, from from Orange County, California, revealed her six controversial wedding rules- saying people said she was a 'bridezilla'

She said: 'We didn't want the liability, there was a lake on the property. No kids. Weddings are not the place for a kid. Parents, take the night off. Have some cocktails with your friends and family.'

However, rule number two was the biggest 'drama starter,' because she demanded that groomsmen did not drink alcohol before the ceremony. 

She said: 'I have been to so many weddings were the groomsmen and groom are trashed and they can't even function during the ceremony. Just wait until the reception. Some people talk sh** on me for that, but I don't care.'

The bride claimed asking to bring a plus-one to the wedding was definitely a 'no' because she 'wanted to know every single person at our wedding.'

She said: 'Do not ask to bring a plus one, if we wanted the person there we would of invited them. We didn't. This happened a lot actually and it was really stressful.'

The newlywed also had a dress code for guests, which required them to wear neutral colors and she banned people from wearing jeans.  

She said: 'Do not wear jeans to a formal wedding, wedding attire only, a couple of you, you know who you are.

'We asked families to stick to the wedding colors provided and not to make a fuss over it, because we really wanted our wedding photos to be neutral and blend in, and now they look fabulous, but we had some backlash at that.'

The video ruffled some feathers and thousands took to the comment section to share their opinions

Her final rule — not standing in the aisle to take photos — was broken and ruined her professional snaps.

'One person stood in the middle of our aisle and she's in the back of all of our pictures,' Rachel raged.

The video ruffled some feathers and thousands took to the comment section to share their opinions. 

One person said: 'Too many damn rules. I would have stayed home.' 

Another said: 'Lmao, did anyone show up? This would have been the quickest decline in history.'

Someone else said: 'Lol if my kids aren't invited neither am I. We don't have the luxury of a babysitter.' 

However, some were more supportive with one targeting mothers complaining about not being able to find a babysitter.  

'Invitations go out MONTHS (usually 1 year) before the wedding,' Y’all didn’t plan ahead.' 

Meanwhile someone else wrote: 'idk why wedding rules are such a big deal to people. if you don't like the rules, don't go. that simple.'
