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

Is that it, have we really enjoyed the holidays? It's time to find the best back-to-school struggles. More…

Same thing different taste

Today, my best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistency". FML

Today, I asked my best friend why she didn't ask our other best friend Anna to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. She said, "She's too pretty. I need ugly bridesmaids to make me look better." I am the maid of honor. FML

Besties for life

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 rang up a good friend to ask her to be one of the two bridesmaids at my upcoming wedding. Before I could ask, she let me know that she would not be attending my wedding, as, "Weddings are expensive, so I'm not attending ones for people that are just acquaintances." FML

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

A day to remember

By Disappointed - 16/12/2023 16:00 - United States - Piscataway

Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid. His brother tried to explain that they'd decided to make the ceremony for family members only, then two our classmates popped out to say hello. They're not related, neither to my friend nor to his fiancée. FML

You must conform

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

Today, I was uninvited to a bachelorette party. I wouldn't really care, if the party hadn't been for me, ahead of my wedding tomorrow. FML

Today, I attended my best friend's wedding. Instead of throwing her bouquet, she turned around and handed it to me. I was the only single lady out of 150 guests. FML

That truly sucks. Go and be polite, but don't invite her when you get married.

Time re-evaluate the definition of "best friend"

Yeah, that's an awesome "best friend." Sorry, OP.. but a best friend wouldn't care what body type you have. I'd think that a best friend would demand for you to be in her bridal party, no matter what body type you have, lol.

Count your blessings. Being a bridesmaid is stressful & not a ton of fun with most brides. They go nuts!!

If she is that concerned with image then her marriage is doomed to fail. Cut her out of your life and find worthwhile friends.

How nice to see that it's all about the way the pictures will look and not about sharing your special day with your nearest & dearest. Not to worry OP, someone this focused on the wedding & appearances is unlikely to cope with the marriage that follows. Maybe you can plan the divorce party for her.
