She Spent $6,000 On Her Friend’s Wedding, But She Trash Talked Her Throughout The Whole Day
This woman was asked by her friend to be her Maid of Honor, and she wishes she turned her down since they’ve had a pretty volatile history.
Her friend can’t keep a friend for more than a couple of years, and she gets a new job every couple of months since she causes a crazy level of drama wherever she goes.
Her friend lives off drama. Her friend literally is the drama. Anyway, she said yes to being her Maid of Honor, but another red flag that should have made her decline the role is that her friend was engaged to her fiancé three different times before finally walking down the aisle.
Her friend switched out the bridal party five different times, so she had to run around after every single new bridesmaid.
“Her bridal shower HAD to be at this one very specific country club that was EXPENSIVE,” she explained.
“She changed the date of the actual wedding and forgot to tell me for months (and it was on a Friday, so I had to request off work).”
“Nothing I bought was good enough, and she always requested more, more, more. She changed my dress color after I bought it. She also just stopped talking to me unless it was about the wedding and had NO idea what was going on in my personal life.”
She paid for everything since all of her friend’s bridesmaids are younger than them and don’t have stable incomes.
She has a wonderful job and knows how to save her money, but man, her friend’s wedding really put a dent in her wallet.
She laid out $6,000 for the whole wedding, which is crazy since she’s trying to plan and save for her own wedding right now.
On the day of her friend’s wedding, she bent over backward to buy her a ton of custom presents, and she delivered the most incredible speech to all the wedding guests about her friend.
Her friend was so nasty to her the whole wedding day, trash-talking her behind her back nonstop. Her friend basically ignored her in favor of her new bestie she met four months ago.
When the wedding was over, her friend left with her new bestie to head to the after-party. She stayed to clean up the whole venue with her fiancé, then went home.
“Well, I get a call today from her cousin, who was also in the wedding party, who I really bonded with over this awful experience,” she said.
“She told me that she didn’t want to say anything to me, but she thinks I deserve to know because I’m already buying Christmas gifts for [the] bride and her kids. Her cousin tells me that every time I left the bridal suite the day of the wedding, the bride would announce to everyone in the room that “she couldn’t stand me,” “I wish she weren’t even here,” [and] “I’m so…annoying.”
The bride is sadly still talking trash about her in a group chat with her cousins and sisters. The bride sent a Christmas list to her a week ago detailing what she and her kids want, so it’s crazy to her that the bride clearly hates her so much yet is expecting holiday gifts.
She already actually purchased Christmas presents for the bride and her kids and wrapped them up.
“I feel so hurt and so used,” she explained. “And honestly, really stupid. I just blocked her on everything. I don’t want to even message her because I know she’ll somehow twist it around and make it my fault.”
What advice do you have for her?
