Weddings, Weird and Miscellaneous: You freak

You freak

Today, an attention-seeking weirdo who thinks she's my friend asked me who was going to be the maid of honour at my wedding. Knowing what she was really asking, I said I just want a small, non-fancy wedding without bridesmaids. She broke down into a sobbing mess in front of me. 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 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

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, my sister backed out of my wedding because it was becoming too much about me. After I begged her to reconsider, I had no choice but to pick a new bridesmaid. When my new bridesmaid posted on Facebook how excited she was, my sister commented, "See, you made HER feel special." FML

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, 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 the Maid of Honor at my friend's wedding. Months earlier, we had a bitter fight, but she picked out a beautiful dress for me and I thought we were past it. When I began speaking, the lights changed to a weird brightness and my friend snickered. My dress was completely see-through. FML

Today, I watched my best friend get married. I then watched her completely ignore my maid of honor speech, because she was messing with the lights behind us. 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, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML

That sucks and is awkward. However if you're going to call her an attention seeking weirdo, you might as well tell her straight up that you don't want to be friends instead of sugar coating things and 'leading her on,' per se.

She sounds lonely... still though no excuse to make such a scene and put you in an awkward situation

I find it strange that you are going out of your way to lie to her. Why are you leading her on like that? Just say "so and so is my maid of honor".

OP, are you even engaged yet? I'm only asking because I knew two young girls in Junior High who stopped being friends because one was planning on eloping if she ever got married and the other couldn't handle it that she wouldn't be 'maid of honor'.

That's what she gets. It's rude for people to ask those question and basically say they want to be a part of the special day. if the bride doesn't ask you, then don't ask.

She would not have asked if you had not somehow given her the impression that it was a possibility. Time to take some responsibility and cut the cord if you don't consider her a friend.

I would usually be skeptical, too. Though, knowing what kind of bat shit crazy people out there, I think there is the possibility she gave no impression this person would be in the wedding party
