Her Single Friend Criticized Her Engagement Ring During A Bachelorette Weekend, So She Pointed Out How Her Friend Won’t Even Have To Worry About Getting Married For A While
Normally, this 23-year-old woman isn’t petty, so she is feeling terrible about the way she reacted to a situation last month.
One month ago, she attended her friend’s bachelorette weekend.
Both of their wedding dates were close together. Her friend was getting married just a couple of weeks before her.
There were six women at the bachelorette weekend in total. One of them was single, four of them were engaged, and the sixth woman was in a long-term, committed relationship.
Since this weekend was to celebrate her friend’s upcoming wedding, she made a point not to bring up her own wedding or engagement.
“The only exception was when the bride herself asked me about my engagement ring. I told her that the ring (which is very simple, with a gold band and 0.25-carat diamond) was actually from my grandmother. She had removed the original diamond but left the ring and its setting, which she gave to my fiancé. He then bought a new diamond and had it placed in the setting,” she said.
When she told this story, her friend and the other women (aside from one of them, Brittany) thought this was such an amazing and kind gesture from her grandmother, and they thought it was beautiful that her ring had so much meaning.
“Brittany looked at my ring and said that it was ‘far too small for her taste.’ She then started talking about how she ‘would never accept an old, secondhand ring’ and that she was ‘shocked’ that I was willing to wear a ‘hand-me-down piece of jewelry,'” she explained.
In response, she laughed and told Brittany that she felt so grateful that her grandmother chose to give her ring to her.

“But then she rolled her eyes and responded, ‘That’s great for you! But I’ll make sure that my man has to pick out and pay for the ring himself. I feel like it’s a representation of how much he values me, you know?'” she shared.
Understandably, Brittany’s comments deeply offended her. Ironically, Brittany was the only single woman attending the bachelorette weekend, so she wondered if maybe this was why Brittany was insulting her engagement ring so aggressively.
She acknowledged that her follow-up comment to Brittany may have gone a bit too far, but she told Brittany, “‘Oh, that’s okay! You won’t have to worry about that for a while.'”
Brittany seemed angry and then walked off to grab snacks, but she didn’t come back over to join everyone for quite some time.
Most of the group didn’t seem too shocked by her comment, but one of the women, who happened to be Brittany’s close friend, had a private conversation with her to tell her that she shouldn’t have insulted Brittany like that.
In Brittany’s friend’s view, it made Brittany feel excluded from everyone else, adding that she should have been more considerate of the fact that Brittany was the only single woman attending the bachelorette weekend.
Do you think she was wrong for what she said to Brittany?
