A RANDOM woman photobombing her engagement pictures was enough for Sherrie Webster to decide no new partners would be invited to her wedding.
The woman in question was a friend’s fling at the time who Sherrie never saw again as she dumped the pal the day after the party.
Children, garters, a first dance and other people’s announcements are also banned from her big day.
Sherrie’s strict rules are in place to ensure the day pans out exactly how she and fiancé, Max, 27, want it to – but they have seen her branded a bridezilla by some.
The 28-year-old doesn’t care what people think and believes people should be able to have whatever wedding they desire – not one to appease others.
She thinks other engaged couples could learn a thing or two from her no-nonsense approach and stressed that it’s your day – “‘your’ being the prominent word”.

“I don’t care if people think I’m too strict because it’s not their day and they're not invited,” she tells Fabulous.
“It’s my wedding and I’m paying for it. I’m maxing my credit cards out for it."
Those they have invited are their nearest and dearest, with new relationships and children not making the cut.
“I don’t want to be getting to know random people on the best day of my life,” Sherrie says.

“And we’ve only got one set of friends with a child and they’ve agreed our busy day will be a lot for a baby.
“I don’t have time for stragglers at my wedding if they need to change their baby or take them for a nap.”
Guests are under strict instructions to not wear any colour and will be asked to leave if they do, as the couple have opted for a black tie dress code.
Fashion influencer Sherrie first met Max in 2012 at school and the pair, who live in London together, got engaged two years ago.
They are tying the knot in August and have only invited 50 people, which Sherrie jokingly deemed “too many for her liking”.
"We just much prefer the idea of an intimate wedding," she added
Sherrie and Max aren’t into PDA so won’t be having individual vows, a first dance or a garter throw in front of everyone.
Her rules also stipulate she won’t be tossing a bouquet of flowers because it’s not her style.
The bride-to-be is equally taking a stand against other people’s announcements on her big day.
“If they’re having a baby or getting engaged, they can wait to tell people. I haven’t planned my perfect day for somebody else to make it all about them,” she says.
“If you’d like to make an announcement, pay for your own party. I will be taking a residual fee from you if you do make your own announcement without my permission.”
Sherrie recently shared her thoughts in a comical TikTok video that attracted backlash, as trolls dubbed her “bridezilla” and sarcastically remarked she "must be a bundle of joy”.
“People need to learn to take a joke, I’m obviously not that harsh. It’s a bit of satire,” she responded.
"Minimal, non-traditional weddings are always hated on but I've planned the best day that is well suited to me, Max and our guests."
The influencer assured that she’s “usually a very accommodating person” but doesn’t have the time to be lenient on her busy wedding day, which is stretched across three venues in London.
Others, however, have applauded her no-nonsense approach.
“I’m literally having the exact same wedding as you, I agree on every single point,” one bride-to-be affirmed under her viral video.
“We have been conditioned for so long to pay a huge amount of money and basically not have any control of it.

“I'm really not into a traditional wedding, the only thing is I am changing my name as I don't like my surname.”
“Agree with the no kids,” another woman penned. “I got married in September with kids and during the speeches my nephew sat on my lap and ruined all my pics.”
