Bridal contract

Feb 4 2008

Brides-to-be want their bridesmaids to sign contracts promising not to put on weight or get pregnant before the big day, a survey has found.

More than one in five women planning their wedding would ask their maid of honour to sign a written bridal "pre-nuptial agreement".

And almost half of those questioned (48%) said they would sack a bridesmaid who did not abide by the contract, according to the poll, commissioned by You & Your Wedding magazine, which asked more than 1,000 women which clauses they would like to see in a contract.
