This Bridesmaid Overheard The Bride Calling Her Fat, So She Lost A Ton Of Weight Before The Wedding To Spite Her And The Bride Felt Upstaged
This Woman Was A Bridesmaid In Her Friend’s Wedding
A 30-year-old woman recently was part of her 30-year-old friend Kate’s wedding. She and Kate met each other back in grad school, and it’s been nearly two years since they have been able to spend time together.
The Only Reason Her Friend Asked Is So She Would Have Enough Bridesmaids
Despite that, they FaceTimed and kept in touch, and then Kate asked her to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. She suspected that the real reason Kate wanted her to be part of the wedding is that Kate’s 30-year-old fiancรฉ Kyle wanted to have eight groomsmen, and Kate didn’t have enough bridesmaids to match that.
Six Months Before The Wedding, The Bride Called Her Fat
“About six months before the wedding the bridesmaids were all talking in a group chat on Discord, and I overheard Kate (who must have thought she was on mute or that her voice wouldn’t carry) rather snidely turn to Kyle and say that I would “round out” the group because I would be a good “counterweight” to her fiance’s friend Tim, the idea being that Tim and I were both obese,” she explained.
She Pretended She Didn’t Hear
“When she moved back toward the mic and said something about not being on mute, I acted like I couldn’t hear anything and said something like, “Yeah, you were really far away, you sounded like you were underwater, I couldn’t hear you.”
What a horribly cruel thing for Kate to have said, especially in front of the other women in the bridal party.
She Then Lost Weight To Spite The Bride
“I had been planning on losing weight anyway, but I lost thirty-five pounds of fat in six months and put on four pounds of muscle largely out of spite,” she said.
Nobody Knew She Lost A Ton Of Weight Before The Wedding
When she made up her mind to lose the weight for the wedding, she made sure to get her bridesmaid dress in a size smaller than she was at the time, then she got it tailored further to fit her.
Nobody had any idea she lost that kind of weight leading up to the wedding.
She Picked Out A Tight Outfit To Unveil Her Weight Loss
“I wore the tightest Lululemons I could find when I met everyone at the hotel the day before, and seeing the visceral shock on Kate’s face was priceless,” she continued.
The Groomsman She Had To Walk Down The Aisle With Acted Standoffish
When the day of the wedding arrived, she was still paired up to walk down the aisle with Tim, but he was very standoffish around her.
She chalked it up to him probably not feeling comfortable around her because she was a complete stranger, but then she learned the truth.
Then, She Learned The Truth
“Later, after enough alcohol had been passed around, the truth finally came out that Kate wanted to set me up with Tim, which I refused, and before she was 86’ed, Kate said, “You’re not supposed to be skinnier than me; you’re upstaging me at my own wedding,” she revealed.
Then, She Had A Flow-Out Fight With The Bride
After that, there wasn’t any kind of blow-out fight between her and Kate, but the other men and women in the bridal party tried to make her feel bad for refusing to go on a date with Tim.
She Hasn’t Spoken To The Bride Since
She hasn’t said a single word to Kate after the wedding, and she’s worried that maybe she was a jerk.
