She’s Firing One Of Her Bridesmaids For Talking About Something They Were Recently Diagnosed With At Her Bachelorette Party And Stealing The Spotlight
This woman is getting married in just 3 weeks, and this past weekend, she had her bachelorette party.
At one point during the party, one of her friends, who she had invited to be one of her bridesmaids, pulled her away to speak to her in private.
Her bridesmaid then said that she had been diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome 3 months back and wanted to tell her about this.
“Obviously, I asked her what that meant for her, and she started crying because she feels differently about her relationship with her mother,” she explained.
“We met in elementary school, and she’s always had a learning disability, but she didn’t know that there was a preventable cause. My other bridesmaids noticed her crying, and the evening ended up being about her.”
“We skipped out on going to a bar in the limo I had hired because she was upset. I thought about it all today and ended up emailing her to tell her that she took away an important moment from my life.”
She does feel sorry for her bridesmaid that she’s experiencing all of this, but she thinks that it’s not really anything new since she has been experiencing the symptoms of her diagnosis throughout her entire life.
She believes that if her bridesmaid had been diagnosed with something deadly or unexpected, she probably would have more sympathy for her.
But, her bridesmaid has known about her diagnosis for months and never said anything, yet brought up the news at an event that was not supposed to be about her at all.

“You only get one bachelorette, and mine was totally overshadowed,” she said. “I felt really hurt that she did that, and told her that I didn’t want to have her in my wedding if that’s how she’s going to treat me at a time when the focus was supposed to be something good in my life instead of something sad in hers.”
“She could have waited a few more weeks until after the wedding if she wanted to have this conversation. She’s still invited to the wedding, but I don’t want her to be a bridesmaid after this.”
So, she’s planning on firing her as a bridesmaid for stealing away the spotlight at her bachelorette party.
She did tell her cousin about all of this, and her cousin is her maid of honor. Her cousin doesn’t think she should fire her bridesmaid at all, and although her cousin agrees it was unfortunate they couldn’t go out to the bar as they planned on their trip, that doesn’t give her a valid reason to fire her bridesmaid.
Her bridesmaid has paid for her dress already, so for that reason alone, her cousin believes she shouldn’t fire her.
As for her fiancé, he’s on board with whatever she wants to do. She’s left wondering if it is mean of her to want to fire her bridesmaid.
