Today, I spent thirty minutes on the phone with my best friend's mom, because her daughter was too afraid to tell me that I'm no longer a bridesmaid at her wedding because I'm too fat. FML

Today, my sister told me she didn’t want me in her wedding pictures because I looked fat in my bridesmaid's dress. FML

Today, whilst trying on wedding dresses with my mom, she told me that I looked fat and awful in the dress I liked. When I told her how hurtful she was being, she told me that I should be grateful that she told me what she thought instead of laughing at me behind my back. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Today, my bestie had me kicked out of her wedding the day of. All because I altered my bridesmaid's dress without telling her. She knows I hate fabric against my legs. FML

Today, my best friend announced she was getting married. I've always wanted to be a bridesmaid but she then added, "You can't be in the bridal party because you don't have the same body type as the other bridesmaids. But you can still come to the bachelorette party!" FML

Today, my best friend told me that I wasn't invited to her wedding, saying that I was too pretty and that I would outshine her at the ceremony. I laughed and said that she was being ridiculous. She eventually confessed the real reason why I wasn't invited: apparently I'm an annoying bitch. FML

Today, I’m supposed to be a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding, but she doesn’t want me in the photos because I’m over a foot taller than her and the other bridesmaids, and it will look silly in the photos. I told her I won’t even bother attending, and mom actually took her side. FML

Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML

Today, one of my closest friends informed me that she wasn't going to invite me to her wedding, because I'm too shy and not enough fun, and she doesn't want her 200 or so guests to feel uncomfortable. I was the one who set the happy couple up. FML

Today, I was supposed to be a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. Instead, I'm bedridden with the effects of fibromyalgia. When I called my friend to let her know I wouldn't be making it, her response was, "Can't you get fiber-malgia some other time and hurry the fuck up and come? This place charges by the hour." FML

She isn't a true friend if she cares about something like that. You deserve better and don't ever feel bad about yourself

What a coward and a snotbag. She's no friend to you. Maybe don't show up at the wedding. It's clear she doesn't care enough for you to share in her happiness.

And that is when I'd tell them to stick the invitation where the sun don't shine.

Such a sneaky way to go about it and very immature. I would cancel going there alltogether, why waste time and money on such a backstabber.

Yeah that's not a best friend, a best friend would not never kick you out of the wedding party because of your asthetic.

Definitely sucks that your (hopefully ex) friend didn't have the chutzpah to tell you herself. P.S. Nothing wrong with wearing a shirt at the pool. My BFF & I wear them & it has nothing to do with size or body image, it's just we don't want to get burnt to a crisp or have to put 10 gallons of sunscreen on every hour.

I don't think it's that she isn't a "true friend" but that she wants a perfect wedding.

idk, two of my three bridesmaids were a little overweight, didn't make my wedding any less perfect. If you have everyone there that loves and supports you, then it's perfect. If you care more about the fat girl who will be in your wedding photos then you're shallow and probably didn't care enough about OP. If OP was her best friend, then her weight shouldn't be what's important; having your best friend for a bridesmaid should be more important than what your best friend looks like.

This happened to me when I was pregnant. My best friend told me I wouldn't match the other 2 (stick thin) bridesmaids so couldn't be a bridesmaid anymore. I would only be 5 months gone when the wedding came around - bitch

The same happened to me about ten years ago. Never went to the wedding and don't regret it.

I think there could be another side to this. If she's really your best friend that is. Is it because you weren't feeling comfortable or maybe that you wouldn't be comfortable in a chosen dress (noticed the shirt in a pool thing). I used to be like that so that's why I'm asking. If not I'm really sorry op that's a shitty situation. Hope it can be resolved.
