A woman has brought new meaning to the term "Bridezilla," after confessing to deliberately attempting to make her bridesmaids fatter so they wouldn't upstage her on her wedding day.
The cunning plan was revealed on whimn.com.au this week, with the unnamed lady saying she had always been competitive with her sisters, with whom she lived.
Concerned that she wouldn't look as good as her siblings, "I set about making sure my sisters looked as ordinary as possible on my big day".
The technique involved making breakfast smoothies for everyone each morning, telling them it had special slimming qualities - however she emptied the contents of weight loss shake packets and replaced them with "mega-weight gain protein powder" she bought from a body building shop.
The plan worked - by the time the wedding arrived her sisters had to have their dresses altered "to accommodate their thickening waistlines.
"And now, when I look back on my wedding photos I sometimes feel a twinge of guilt that I'm standing there glowing and gorgeous in my bridal gown, and my sisters are looking washed out and chubby.
"But mostly I feel happy."
