In turn, she mentioned how bridal showers are traditionally thrown by the mother of the bride and asked if perhaps the bride’s mother would be able to pitch in.
But, the maid of honor shut down that idea, too– since apparently, the bride’s parents were already chipping in a lot of money for the wedding.
“So, I replied to the maid of honor, saying that although it is more than I had anticipated spending, I was happy to pay for a portion of the venue,” she explained.
“But, I said I needed to know their plans for food, drinks, and rentals since they planned this without my input, and I don’t think I will be able to contribute more than what the venue costs.”
Well, it appears that the maid of honor relayed what she had said to the bride– because afterward, she received an onslaught of nasty texts.
Apparently, the bride called her selfish, told her to “stop the drama,” and said that she needed to realize that the wedding was about the bride and not her.
On top of that, the bride then accused her of bragging about her purchases on social media and basically tried to insinuate that she just did not want to cough up cash for the wedding.
And honestly, she was completely confused. She claims to have absolutely no idea what the bride was talking about in terms of social media.
Additionally, she is outraged that the bride would try to make it seem like she hasn’t spent a ton of money on the wedding already.
“I know that when you agree to be a bridal party member, there are financial commitments. And I have happily paid for part of bride’s bachelorette party, engagement gift, my bridesmaid gown, hair and makeup for the wedding day, and booked my travel to her out-of-town wedding,” she vented.
So, it’s really just this bridal shower that seems totally out of line for her. Regardless, though, the bride did not want to hear her input.
