“I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my sister-in-law’s wedding.
Mind you, I was asked only as a backup.
Someone else couldn’t do it; I was asked months after everyone else.
“I was also seven months preggo at the time.
I refused to be a bridesmaid and she was mad atme.”

“My husband and I were asked to be a groomsman and a bridesmaid in a wedding.
After agreeing and going to my dress fitting, I found out I was pregnant with our first baby.

First, she met her fiance on a dating app but didn’t want anyone to know.
I was sworn to secrecy.
She asked me to be a bridesmaid, and I was happy to say yes.
She ghosted me.I chalked it up to her being a total fake.
Then, I got a friend request from her on social media with a totally new name.
I guess that the first wedding didn’t happen, or they divorced.”

“I was a bridesmaid at my oldest friend’s wedding.
I agreed to host it and spent much time making it perfect for my friend.
I even stayed up late the night before painstakingly baking and decorating cupcakes.
I probably spent close to $500 on decorations and food.
The day of the shower, everyone practically ignored me.”
I was so frustrated with the whole thing.
That one loud friend of the bride-to-be didn’t even go to the wedding.”

“I was a bridesmaid in my older cousins wedding.
When she asked, I was in the middle of a weight loss journey.
I didnt have to get my dress for another nine months, so it shouldnt have been a problem.
Fast-forward to my final fitting, and the bride came with us.
At this point, I lost a little over 30 pounds, and the bride was furious.
“Needless to say, shes an estranged cousin now.”

“I’ve been kicked out of two weddings.
She and her future husband barely knew my boyfriend.
The weekend of her bridal shower was my anniversary with my boyfriend.
He planned on proposing, so he made plans for a weekend getaway.
Her fiance’s brother’s girlfriend replaced me.
And with my sister’s wedding, I fought with her best friend the whole time.
Now, I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost nine years.
I’m thinking I have bad luck for weddings.”

“I was a bridesmaid in my brother’s wedding, and at the time, I had cancer.
I was in the middle of chemotherapy, was extremely nauseated, and very tired the whole time.
The wedding was out of state and lasted over four days.
I overslept the morning of the rehearsal, but I arrived only 10 minutes late.
“My husband and THREE children were also there and in the wedding.
Needless to say, we arent close.”

I requested certain days off to accommodate her.
I threw her a bridal shower…everything seemed fine.
Text again at 11 and 11:30.
Im starting to worry and I keep calling her.
Im shocked and angry and just tell her to have a good wedding and hang up.
I got the deposit back on my dress and obviously didnt go to the wedding.”
I was literally speechless and left.
I havent talked to her since.”

“I was asked to be a bridesmaid in my sisters best friends wedding.
Seemed odd to me at the time because we werent that close but had the same group of friends.
You arent invited to the wedding?It was so rude!!!
I called and texted this chick about it, and SHE NEVER RESPONDED.”

She didn’t want to do invitations or a guest list (for a venue!)
When I got back, she and her cousins showed up at my house and took everything.

It was bridezilla central, for sure.”

“I was a bridesmaid for a destination wedding at a beach.
We had to pay for everything: flights, hotel rooms, dress, and food.
The bride didn’t hire a wedding planner but instead asked us to make decorations and organize everything.
‘Needless to say, I no longer speak to that person anymore.”
