A 25-year-old woman has a best friend a year older than her, and her best friend is getting married this June.

Her best friend asked her to be the maid of honor, and she agreed. The wedding planning was going great and there were no issues…until several days ago.

A couple of days ago, her best friend said that she wanted her to do a trial run for her makeup with her cousin, who happens to be a makeup artist.

Her best friend’s cousin is going to be doing everyone’s makeup for the wedding, but she has a huge problem with this and wants to do her own makeup for the wedding,

“I suffer from atopic dermatitis, which I currently have under control but that’s only because I’m very cautious when it comes to my skin,” she explained.

“I don’t wear makeup and my skincare is also adjusted to my skin problems. My friend knows how bad it can get, as she saw my skin at its worst, to be honest.”

“Because of this, thinking that she would understand me more than anyone else, I told my friend that I would prefer to do my makeup myself.”

She knows her skin best, and she knows exactly what products will or will not cause issues with her face.

She said to her best friend that she would be happy to learn any kind of makeup style in time for the wedding in June, which seemed like a great suggestion.

Her best friend got angry and insisted that she needed to have her makeup professionally done so that she looks “good enough” in all of the wedding photos.

She tried to suggest another alternative; what if she just asked the makeup artist to use her own brushes and her own makeup?

Her best friend wouldn’t hear anything of it and said it would be embarrassing by even bringing that up.

“That’s when I suggested, with a heavy heart, that maybe I should just opt-out from being her maid of honor, so she can choose someone that wouldn’t complicate things for her, since I really don’t want to have my makeup done by someone else,” she said.

Her best friend quickly accused her of being a jerk that was trying to run her wedding day. Then, the groom and the rest of the bridesmaids got involved, and they are siding with the bride.

Her best friend is no longer speaking to her, and her best friend also kicked her out of the group wedding chat until she can “make it better somehow.”

She truly is trying her hardest to find solutions that will work for her best friend, but she can’t think of anything else that she hasn’t already suggested.

Do you think she should keep going with suggestions, or firmly drop out of the wedding?
