A blind bride has hit out at some of her wedding guests after they demanded she bans guide dogs from attending the ceremony - even though she needs one herself.
Angharad Paget-Jones, 29, was branded a "bridezilla" by some of her guests for refusing to budge on a number of planning points they have taken issue with, including her menu, wedding venue, and even her choice of confetti.
But shockingly, some people have also complained about the four guide dogs invited to the wedding, as they're concerned they'll get hair stuck to their outfits - despite the bride having a guide dog named Tudor.
The media specialist, from South Wales, took to Twitter to share her frustration about her guests' complaints and later said she found it "funny" that people have called her a "bridezilla" simply for holding the wedding she and her partner want.
She said: "I find it pretty funny I've been labelled 'bridezilla' as it's just people who didn't get their opinions taken on board who have called me that, everyone else has said I've been pretty relaxed about it all.
"My venue is at a really nice hotel and spa in the Welsh valleys and someone said it was too fancy and they felt intimidated by the venue. I told them it was the venue my partner and I chose for being the most accessible and nice, but I was called a bridezilla for not wanting to change my venue to suit them.
"The second instance happened because my confetti is rose petals and the person deemed it to be stuck up, saying I could have just had paper confetti."
Angharad said she had "a few" people complain about her guide dog rule, and said she was "shocked" to hear that they actually had a problem with the dogs being at the wedding.
She added: "It was a few who complained. We have four guide dogs attending in total with their humans as guests including my own, Tudor, who's a big part of the wedding.
"My first reaction was shock, I was tempted to tell them where to go, but I kept calm and told them they had the option not to attend if the dogs were going to be an issue. They're not pets, they're guide dogs and are there for a purpose."
And the complaints haven't stopped there, and Angharad and her partner Stephen - who are due to marry in November this year - have also had guests moaning about their menu.
The pair have tried to accommodate those with allergies and dietary requirements where possible, but have had others complain simply because the menu isn't to their tastes.
"I've had a few people say they don't like our menu, but when we asked if it's because of allergies, being vegan or religious reasons, we've been told they just don't like it," she explained.
"For those people, we've given the option of paying to change it or waiting for the evening buffet (there's only about an hour between). It didn't go well but they’ve had 11 months' notice to make arrangements."
Angharad and Stephen have only invited a total of 40 people to their wedding and have told guests that if they don't like what they've got planned, then they shouldn't bother coming - as they want a "no-drama day" when the time comes.
After the bride-to-be shared her frustrations on Twitter, she was inundated with comments from people defending her from her moaning guests, with some saying she should be able to do whatever she wants at her own wedding.
One person said: "It's your wedding. Knickers to everyone else. If they don't like it they don't have to come. It's what I said about my wedding. Some people didn't come. I don't regret a thing."
While another added: "A woman after my own heart. You know what you like. I found a good checklist in a wedding planner book. I crossed off the items that were not me and planned with [my other half]. We kept it simple, in our way. Everyone enjoyed the day."
