Weddings tend to bring out the worst in people, which I hate saying because it sounds bad, but we all know it's kind of true. As wonderful and special as weddings can be, they're also incredibly stressful, and we know what stress can do to people.... it makes them evil!
The internet has no shortage of bridezilla stories, and this latest one is a doozy.
Sure, it should just be a supportive group of gals helping out their BFF, the bride, have the best day ever while also having so much fun themselves!
However, anyone that has ever been a bridesmaid probably has a different tale to tell.
Being a bridesmaid is essentially taking on a part-time job but you actually lose money — sounds fun, right?
If you're getting married soon, please remember to respect and appreciate your ladies!
In the latest edition of Reddit's AITA, a bridesmaid is wondering if she's wrong for not attending her best friend's wedding after the bride demanded she not wear makeup.
"I am the MOH for my best friend of many years’ wedding," the anonymous poster wrote. "I’ve been breaking my back for months now, even taking time off work, to help her with planning and all the other things that go into a wedding"
"In my opinion (and as my friend had told me) I am significantly more attractive with makeup on, and in all honestly I lack confidence without it. I also have a scar on my face that I hide with makeup, and am very insecure about. I bring this up because in the past, my friend has made MANY comments about my appearances and my makeup to men I’ve been interested in. She says things like 'you should see her without makeup' when a guy expresses interest in me, or talks about how 'it can be wiped away' if a man calls me pretty/beautiful."
How awful, right?
"She had an important request for me: that I don’t wear any makeup to her wedding. She says if I wear makeup I will ‘overshadow’ her at her own wedding and it would be unfair because she wants to feel like the most beautiful person in the room as the bride."
The poster explained that she told her friend that was a ridiculous request, and that everyone will be wearing makeup.
She ended the post by saying the bride will not budge on her stance.
