Her Friend Is Getting Married And Wants Her To Shave Her Upper Lip For The Wedding
In about 14 days, a woman is going to be a bridesmaid at her friend’s upcoming wedding, and she’s currently struggling with something the bride asked her to do.
A week ago, she met up with her friend the bride, and the other women who were invited to be bridesmaids, so that they could grab brunch together and also get some beauty-related things checked off their list for the wedding.
One of the things they all wanted to do was get their eyebrows threaded, and while they were at that salon, one of the people who works there wanted to know if she would like to have the hair on her upper lip taken care of in addition to her eyebrows.
She is well aware that the hair on her upper lip is very, very dark and can be noticeable in photographs, but it’s something that has never bothered her for as long as she’s lived.
She didn’t have a chance to answer the salon worker before the bride jumped in and insisted that she should have her upper lip taken care of as well.
“But I have never seen my upper lip hair as an issue, so later on, I told the employee that I’ll just be doing my brows,” she explained.
“The rest of the day was a very nice experience. There were a few more social hints over the next few days that kind of led me to believe that my friend wanted me to shave my mustache, but I didn’t think too much about it.”
“Until this morning when she asked me directly to shave it just for the wedding.”
That’s right, her friend outright said that she wants her to shave off her upper lip hair in time for the wedding.

She was taken aback by her friend’s request since she has been close to her friend for more than a decade and her friend hasn’t ever mentioned it being a problem.
Her friend insisted that she only wanted her to shave her upper lip hair in order to make sure everyone in the bridal party looks their best, while also appeasing her family, who all tend to be disparaging towards others.
“I felt, a little bit insulted at first because I speculated she didn’t think I looked presentable with my natural hair (genetics-wise, I’m hairy…and so is the rest of my family),” she said.
“I just told her I’d think about it.”
She later filled her boyfriend in on what her friend asked of her, and her boyfriend believes that she needs to do only what makes her feel good since it is her body.
After speaking with her boyfriend, she also decided it might be good to speak to some of the other bridesmaids, but they don’t agree with her boyfriend.
The other bridesmaids think it’s not a problem for her to take care of her hair for the wedding since it’s one day of her life and it clearly is important to the bride.
She’s still on the fence about what to do, and she’s wondering if it would be really inappropriate of her to refuse to do what her friend wants.
