Her Friend Says She Ruined Her Wedding Day All Over A Necklace
A 31-year-old woman recently was in her 30-year-old friend Mary’s wedding, which happened last week.
Mary asked her to be one of the bridesmaids, to which she agreed. She has been friends with Mary since they were both back in high school, making her Mary’s oldest friend that was part of the bridal party.
The other women that were asked to be bridesmaids were all people that Mary had met in college, and she actually never was introduced to any of them until they all went away for Mary’s bachelorette party.
It’s also worth mentioning that she really did not know any other people that were invited to Mary’s wedding except for Mary’s closest family members.
Anyway, fast forward to right before Mary’s wedding. She was going to bring her fiancé to Mary’s wedding as her plus one, but then he got sick right before the big day.
“Our 5th anniversary of our first date was 2 months ago and he got me a beautiful opal necklace on a gold chain specifically to wear to the wedding because it complimented my bridesmaid dress,” she explained.
“I asked Mary in our bridal party group chat if she was alright with us wearing our own jewelry to the wedding, she said no problem.”
Mary’s wedding finally arrives, and she is there as a bridesmaid. She and the other women in Mary’s bridal party got up very early so they all could pose for photos in front of the chapel where Mary was getting married.
“Mary sees my necklace and loves it, and actually asked if she could switch her necklace with mine,” she said.

“Some other bridesmaids chime in and say that it would be her “something borrowed.”
“I tried as politely as I could to tell her that my fiancé got this for me to wear to the wedding and especially since he can’t be here, I’d like to keep it on.”
Not only did Mary try to pressure her into taking off her necklace and letter her wear it right then and there, but the rest of Mary’s bridesmaids did too.
Everyone tried to guilt her into doing it since it was Mary’s big day, but that didn’t make her want to do it.
“Mary then said if I could at least take it off since it looked nicer than her own jewelry,” she continued.
“Again, I told her I’d rather not, I’d like to share the wedding photos of myself in the necklace with my fiancé.”
Well, Mary was basically pissed at her, along with the rest of the bridal party. Everyone was really rude to her; throwing her nasty looks and basically ignoring her throughout the entire wedding.
“I felt awful,” she wrote. “After the first dance, Mary’s sister came up to me to tell just how upset Mary was and rude it was that I upset her so on her big day.”
She’s left feeling like maybe she somehow did something wrong here, and she cannot stop thinking about Mary’s wedding.
Though she has tried to reach out to Mary, Mary has refused to answer a single text of hers.
