Her Best Friend Dropped Out As Maid Of Honor And Then Proceeded To Badmouth Her To All Her Wedding Guests, So She Called Her Out For Being An Awful Friend
This thirty-two-year-old woman and her friend, Anna, had been besties ever since they started school together. Of course, they ran into some road bumps and hiccups over the years. But, she and Anna always worked through any issues and remained close.
She also has a husband now, who she was with for ten years prior to getting married. They even had two children together during their relationship.
So, about two years ago, she and her then-boyfriend decided they were ready to tie the knot. And the couple got engaged and set their wedding date for last month.
Anyway, during all of the wedding planning, she decided that she definitely wanted Anna to be involved. So, she asked Anna to be her maid of honor, and her best friend accepted.
But, while at her bridal shower about seven months ago, she learned some super exciting news– Anna was pregnant. Her best friend apparently did not have a partner at the time and decided to use a donor to start their family.
“I was so happy for Anna. They assumed I was going to kick them out of the bridal party, but I told them that was not happening,” she recalled.
“Anna could do as much or as little as they wanted to do because I had been there, and I knew just how exhausting pregnancy could be.”
In turn, as the months sped by before her wedding date, she was beyond accommodating to Anna’s pregnancy.
First, her best friend came to her and said that they were high-risk and had to be put on bed rest. She completely understood and told Anna that it was no problem.

In fact, she even gave Anna the option of staying in the bridal party and getting her any accommodations she needed.
Still, though, Anna ultimately gave up her spot in the bridal party at that point and said she would prefer to just attend as a guest.
“And I told Anna it was no problem; it was fine. Whatever made them happy. In the meantime, I took Anna to their appointments, and they came to my dress fittings,” she explained.
However, amidst helping out Anna, she was still left without a maid of honor. So, she ended up asking another good friend to take the role, they were thrilled, and everything seemed to be working out perfectly.
Well, that was until her actual wedding day came. First of all, Anna showed up wearing her maid of honor gown– which, in hindsight, was totally disrespectful.
Despite that, though, she gave Anna the benefit of the doubt and figured that she just felt beautiful in the original dress. So, she never even brought up having any problem with Anna’s outfit.
Instead, the real issue came after the wedding when she found out that Anna badmouthed her the entire time.
“Anna proceeded to tell everyone that I had kicked her out of the wedding because I was jealous of her pregnancy and did not want a ‘fat girl’ in my wedding photos,” she said. What the heck, Anna!
She never even found out about what her “best friend” was saying until afterward, either. Apparently, no one wanted to ruin her wedding day with petty drama.
So, she had to actually hear Anna’s comments about how horrible and jealous she supposedly was in the background of five wedding videos. Yikes.
And if you could not have guessed it, she was totally blindsided. She had no clue what she had done to Anna to deserve that. In turn, she ended up tracking Anna down and asking her what her problem was.
But Anna apparently tried to downplay the entire thing. In fact, Anna claimed her comments were “just a joke” and that she was “just being funny.”
Understandably, though, she found Anna’s behavior far from hilarious and decided to tell her former best friend off.
She screamed at Anna for being an awful friend and revealed how a ton of her guests had actually believed her untrue “jokes.” Also, she let Anna know that she was never jealous of her pregnancy and had just tried to be a supportive friend.
Anna just did not get it, though, because then she actually screamed at her and accused her of being a total bridezilla. So, in the end, she just told Anna that her behavior was a slap in the face and kicked her out of her house.
Anyway, it has now been a month since her wedding, and she and Anna still have not spoken since. But that has not kept Anna from running their mouth even more.
Instead, she learned from some friends that Anna is saying she was “verbally abusive” and made Anna’s pregnancy entirely about herself and her “stupid wedding.” So now, she has been left feeling totally hurt and totally confused about whether or not she was somehow a jerk to Anna.
Why do you think Anna would treat her like that? Do you think she had a right to call Anna out for their behavior at her wedding? How would you have handled this situation if you were in her shoes?
