She Really Wants To Quit Being A Bridesmaid Just 4 Weeks Before The Wedding After The Bride And Maid Of Honor Body-Shamed Her
A 26-year-old woman has been very close to her 25-year-old friend Rob since they met in college 7 years ago.
Well, Rob got on Tinder and met a 24-year-old woman named Jane about 2 years ago. They started dating right as the pandemic hit, and so, Rob and Jane’s relationship sped along.
Rob proposed to Jane last October, and their wedding date has been set for next month.
Unfortunately, Jane doesn’t really like her at all, though she gets why this is. For one thing, she’s super close to Rob, and additionally, Rob really liked her when they were back in college but she didn’t feel the same way.
Rob’s friends did share that fun fact with Jane, which didn’t help Jane to like her better. She did make an effort to not be so close to Rob in order to make Jane feel better, but Rob wasn’t thrilled with that.
Even though Jane basically hates her, she was invited to be a bridesmaid since Rob insisted. Rob gave Jane an ultimatum; Jane had to let her be a bridesmaid and only then would he agree to let Jane’s brothers be his groomsmen.
“I have been on my best behavior, despite her being on her worst,” she explained.
“She has been constantly nasty to me, pointing out any flaw, mocking me, and even ‘accidentally’ poured a whole glass of red wine over me (I was wearing a light blue dress).”
“Yesterday we had the bridesmaid dress fittings/try ons. We had all sent Jane the money, and our size/measurements and she had ordered the dresses. Her step-grandma, Nell, is a seamstress so was fitting the dresses.”

“Despite me being a UK size 6/8 Jane ordered me a size 14. She and the maid of honor, Clo, giggled like school girls as they gave it to me, and Clo said “we heard they come quite small so thought we’d play it safe with well you.”
“The giggling continued when I put it on and it was a tent on me, with Jane saying “well I think it fits”. By now 2 of the other bridesmaids were smirking, giggling, etc too, I offered to send for a new size and pay the difference but Jane refused and claimed no smaller size would fit me.”
Surprisingly, Jane’s step-grandma Nell did her best to make her feel better. Nell tried to combat the body-shaming comments that Jane and Clo made, but these two women were relentless.
When Nell commented on how her back and shoulders were more narrow than her chest, Jane announced to everyone that she’s basically “deformed.”
“Overall it was a horrible day, and I felt like I was 13 again being bullied by the ‘popular girls,'” she said.
She went home and decided not to make any rash decisions.
She later talked everything over with her boyfriend and her roommates and decided she wanted to drop out of the wedding and not be one of Jane’s bridesmaids anymore after the body-shaming that happened to her.
“I know this will cause issues with the wedding as it is next month, and duties, etc have already been sorted out (I’m in charge of the flower girls) but I can’t mentally put myself through any more of Jane, Clo, and their friends’ bullying. It is really starting to affect me,” she continued.
“I also know if I do drop out I will have to tell Rob why, and I don’t want to appear like I’m being mean about Jane, or ruin his day as he deserves happiness.”
She’s struggling with whether or not it’s selfish of her to want to bow out of being part of this bridezilla’s day, especially since she does not want to cause Rob any stress. What do you think she should do? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
