This Groomsman Got Paired Up With A Bridesmaid Who Tormented Him In High School, But After He Asked The Bride And Groom To Walk Down The Aisle With Someone Else, They Refused
A 26-year-old man was invited to be a groomsman in his best friend Drake’s upcoming wedding.
Drake is marrying his bride-to-be Amanda in May, and he has been friends with both of them since back in high school, which is how Amanda and Drake met in the first place.
Aside from Drake and Amanda, the rest of their mutual friends are also from back in high school, and the entire wedding party is made up of his high school peers, including the bridesmaids.
As soon as he realized that he was going to get paired up with the bridesmaid who tormented him in high school, he knew he had a major problem.
He got paired up with this bridesmaid named Erica, and he pretty much hates her. No, those feelings haven’t gone away post-high school either.
He’s 5’7″ and Erica is 6′ tall, and that has always been a pain point back in high school. Erica relentlessly teased him about his height throughout high school and even throughout college too.
That’s hardly the only mean thing that Erica did to him though.
“She was popular in HS, so she invited me to prom our senior year just to mess with me,” he explained.
“Telling people that she was taking her “little brother” to the dance with her. After college, we haven’t been around each other as much.”

Although he hasn’t spent much time with Erica lately, every time he has been around her, she still goes after him and messes with him.
It’s easy to see why he did not want to walk down the aisle with Erica, and so, he asked Drake if he could get paired off with another bridesmaid.
He also pointed out to Drake that if Erica was planning to wear heels for the wedding, he was going to “look ridiculous.”
He knew there were other bridesmaids more in line with his height that he could easily be paired up with instead, and for Erica, there were taller options for groomsmen.
“Drake agreed to talk to Amanda,” he said. “Well, Drake came back and said that Amanda wanted it this way.”
“I went to Amanda directly. And told her my concerns. And she told me that she wanted it this way. That I was being ridiculous and Erica was fine with it.”
“I said of course Erica was fine with it because she won’t be the one looking ridiculous. But Amanda said Erica and her both wanted it this way.”
Amanda especially had no sympathy for him and she accused him of being a jerk for suggesting a switch.
On top of Drake and Amanda telling him that he can’t be paired up with another bridesmaid, they said he needs to basically deal for the day and work with Erica on “a fun entrance.”
He’s so upset about having to be paired up with Erica that he thinks it’s best for him to drop out of the wedding party and only come to Drake and Amanda’s wedding as a guest.
What do you think he should do?
