She Felt Really Pressured To Make Her Friend A Bridesmaid But Since Her Friend Asks How Much She Spent On Everything She Wants To Kick Her Out Of The Wedding
A 26-year-old woman has a friend the same age as her back when they were in college. Her friend can be completely altruistic and kind, but then she can be nasty and prying.
She’s planning her wedding right now, and her friend automatically assumed that she would get to be one of her bridesmaids.
Since she told her friend about her wedding planning process, her friend has actually been a huge help to her.
Her friend constantly sends her meaningful information to everything that does interest her for her upcoming wedding, so that’s been great.
What’s been bad though is that her friend feels the need to ask her about how much everything related to her wedding is going to cost.
“I don’t think there is anything she hasn’t asked the price of yet,” she explained. “I took her to a store to buy accessories for it where she bombarded me with questions.”
“Have I bought my wedding dresses, if so how much were they? How much was my makeup artist charging me? Where did I get my reception outfit from?”
“Then she would immediately google it right in front of me, while we were in the middle of shopping. I started to feel frustrated.”
She did end up buying all of her bridesmaids their dresses, and she let all of the ladies know that she was happily footing the bill on that.

As soon as her friend found out that she was paying for the dresses, her friend demanded to know how much they all cost her.
“I’ve started to ignore her when she asked me what carat gold my engagement ring is because she likes the color but I don’t entirely believe that,” she said.
“She also made snarky comments on how my culture isn’t inclusive when I already told her some stuff simply needs to be tailored. The list goes on.”
“I wasn’t even sure if I wanted her as a bridesmaid in the first place, because she would randomly mention that I only have two friends, one of which is her.”
“She has a couple of friends, so she’s saying it to be rude, and not to laugh because we can both relate.”
Not that long ago she began graduate school, and after her friend wanted to know how many new friends she made at school, she felt that her friend was not trying to be nice to her.
She’s concerned that her friend is being judgemental of her about every little thing, not just details about her wedding.
She’s beginning to grow upset with her friend and now she wants to cut her out of the wedding entirely.
“Is she just trying to figure out how much I’m spending on the wedding?” she wondered. “I’m so confused.”
Do you think it’s time for her to tell her friend she can no longer be a bridesmaid? Or do you think she’s in the wrong here? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
