An email leaked by Gawker from a bride-to-be detailed her outlandish expectations of her bridesmaids during the months leading up to her August 13 wedding in Vail, Colorado.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/bridesmaids-movie-cast.jpg?w=650" /></p><p>To all bridesmaids out there, know your <a href="http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/bridal-party/articles/bridesmaid-bill-of-rights.aspx">rights</a>! An email leaked by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://gawker.com/5948725/reasons-why-you-cannot-be-a-bridesmaid">Gawker </a>from a bride-to-be detailed her outlandish expectations of her bridesmaids during the months leading up to her August 13 wedding in Vail, Colorado. Her email listed her &#8220;ground rules&#8221; to consider before accepting the &#8220;honor&#8221; of being in the wedding party.</p>
<p>After reading some of her expectations, below, we couldn&#8217;t help but wonder who is going to agree to be this woman&#8217;s bridesmaid, let alone, friend.</p>
<p><strong>Your Life Is No Longer Your Own </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I would like everyone to send me any dates they are going away or planning to go away&#8230; from February to the day of our wedding in August, that way we know not to plan something when your away.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Money Can&#8217;t Be an Issue</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If money is tight and you cant afford to contribute to say the bachelorette party or wont be able to afford a dress etc then L— and Myself don&#8217;t have time to deal with that, I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dress to Impress ($$$)</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;if you think by affordable its going to be a $25 forever 21 dress then your going to the wrong wedding.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Be Chained to Your Phone</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not going to harass you with wedding stuff every hour of everyday but if its something important and it takes you a week even 2-3 days to get back to me seeeee ya!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s All or Nothing</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;If you don&#8217;t think you&#8217;ll be able to attend one party but can make the rest of them I&#8217;m sorry but I&#8217;ll have to take you out as a bridesmaid and put you as a guest.&#8221;</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re not sold yet that this will be the most fun wedding you could ever have the honor of attending, then just listen to the bride&#8217;s closing statement: &#8220;This is really going to be the most epic wedding ever so I hope you girls can share this special day with us!&#8221;</p>
<p>Our advice: Pass!</p>
