She’s Refusing To Attend Her Best Friend’s Wedding After Being Dropped As A Bridesmaid Due To Her Size
Ever since she was just 13 years old, this 25-year-old woman has had a best friend named Jane, who is now 27.
They first hit it off because their moms were super close. Then, even after their parents slowly drifted apart, she and Jane remained best friends for years.
She also claimed that she has always been “big-boned.” So, ever since she was a kid, she took on the role of the “funny friend,” who was always lightening the mood with her positivity and humor.
“And truthfully, none of my friends ever commented on my weight, even Jane,” she recalled.
Instead, Jane would always make sure that she felt comfortable without ever directly referencing or pointing out her body. So, she really appreciated that– especially during her insecure teenage years.
Now that she is older, she has also learned to love herself as she is and has gotten very comfortable in her own body.
But Jane is set to get married soon, and it became clear to her that her friend might not be as supportive as she once seemed.
For context, she and Jane have talked about their hypothetical weddings ever since they were teens. They would make Pinterest boards and discuss being each other’s bridesmaids.
According to her, they even did this up until their early twenties.

So, right after Jane got engaged, she was asked to be a bridesmaid at the wedding. And she enthusiastically accepted.
Jane decided to get custom bridesmaid dresses made, though. That’s why she had to send her measurements to Jane just last week. And right afterward, her friend called and claimed that, because of costs, the number of bridesmaids was being cut down to just Jane’s sisters.
At the time, she completely understood that, too. Well, that was until a few days later when a mutual friend of theirs, Liz, sent a photo of a bridesmaid dress. Then, Liz asked her what color she had chosen for her gown.
She was obviously confused by that and tried to tell Liz that they had been dropped from the wedding party since they were not immediate family.
“I also called her because Liz is that one friend who responds to texts two weeks later, and I assumed she just never saw Jane’s message,” she explained.
Then, once they spoke, Liz started messaging in their group chat and asking if Jane could confirm that they were dropped from the bridal party.
It was at that point that she received a private text from Jane, and she couldn’t believe her eyes. Her so-called best friend revealed how only she had been dropped from the bridal party.
Apparently, Jane thought that the chosen bridesmaid dress style just did not “suit her” and that the cost of materials would “be too much.”
This seriously sent her for a loop, and she decided to call out Jane on the spot.
“I told her that if she was too ashamed to have a fat bridesmaid in a strapless dress, then she should just tell me instead of lie to me, and I thought that over a decade of friendship transcended that vanity,” she revealed.
Afterward, she proceeded to select “no” on the RSVP and sent it back to Jane.
Since then, Jane has not stopped blowing up her phone with calls and texts, claiming that she misunderstood. Jane also accused her of freaking out for no reason and said she should just go to the wedding as a regular guest.
So now, in the wake of the argument, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to go to her best friend’s wedding is justified, given what happened.
Can you believe Jane didn’t just drop her as a bridesmaid but also lied to her about it? How would you feel in her shoes? Would you still want to go to the wedding or not?
