Her Best Friend Invited The Girl Her Ex Cheated On Her With To Her Wedding, So She Dropped Out of Being The Maid of Honor
A year ago, this 21-year-old woman’s best friend, 22, asked her to be the maid of honor in her upcoming wedding.
“We had always been inseparable throughout high school, so I excitedly accepted, as they were high school sweethearts, and they had been planning it for a while (they planned it out, and she knew about the proposal before he did it).
In total, her best friend, B, had four bridesmaids, and B made a group chat for them all to be in so that they could easily discuss details when needed.
Unfortunately, several months after B and her fiancé got engaged, she had some issues with two of the bridesmaids, and so there were then only two bridesmaids left.
One day, she, B, and the other bridesmaid went shopping for their bridesmaid dresses. B was hoping for them to wear either a beige or black dress, and she didn’t want the dresses to be shiny or have sparkles. This made it a bit tricky to figure out what types of shoes would look nice with this color of dress.
B also didn’t want the bridesmaids to wear any jewelry or any accessories in their hair because she didn’t want any attention diverted away from her. She could see B’s perspective on this, so she didn’t mind these rules.
When she asked B where she and her fiancé were registered for wedding gifts, B said that they were hoping to just receive money from guests to go towards their future move. However, a year after the wedding, B and her now-husband still haven’t moved.
In the past, she and B had a close friend named Ali.
“Ali was basically a best friend of ours before I caught my then-boyfriend of four years cheating on me with Ali in his bedroom, making out, partially dressed,” she explained.

“B knew how badly that situation hurt me, and she always consoled me and comforted me when I got upset about it, and stated how much she disliked Ali after that.”
On the day of the bachelorette party, the bridesmaids were trying on their dresses. The second bridesmaid asked B who else would be at the party, and B started listing several friends from high school. Then, B said that Ali was going to be there as well.
“The other bridesmaid responded, ‘Why is she going?’ B looked at her feet, looking guilty, and said, ‘Well, she’s my friend,'” she shared.
“My heart instantly sank, as we had agreed not to invite the girls we caught our boyfriends cheating on us with (she had a similar situation happen to her). I tried not to seem hurt, but I ended up leaving quite upset.”
Later, she texted B to tell her that she would no longer be a part of her wedding. B texted back to say, “‘Fine, be like that.'”
She responded and said that she had been under the assumption that they’d promised each other not to invite the girls they’d caught their past boyfriends cheating on them with. B told her that she was being “petty.”
Before she’d texted B to drop out of the wedding, she’d brought her bridesmaid dress to the venue, and B had apparently allowed someone else to wear the dress without asking her if it was okay and without even telling her.
Once she drove 30 miles in order to pick up the dress from the person who wore it, the dress smelled like sweat, had stains all over it, and was essentially destroyed.
She told B what happened to the dress, and B said, “‘Well, we had no other choice.'”
To make things worse, during their texting argument, she asked B if Ali would bring her ex-boyfriend (the one who cheated on her with Ali), and B said, “‘I don’t know, maybe.'”
After this whole ordeal, she is not friends with B anymore.
Do you think she was right to drop out of her best friend’s wedding?
