Bridesmaid Kicked Out Of Bridal Party For Cutting Her Hair, Takes Bride To Court

Unfortunately, OP says her hair started to deteriorate. After it started falling out, she decided to cut her hair.

"I told the bride about my decision two weeks before the wedding and she didn’t say anything bad," wrote OP. "The following week, she came over to my house and when she was about to leave, she brought up that she was concerned about my haircut and I told her it would look good even though I wouldn’t be uniform with the other bridesmaids."

The bride told OP that she felt disrespected by the hair situation and kicked OP out of the wedding, writing:

"Your inconsistencies have concerned me and while I sympathize with your health concerns, I’m not willing to compromise my vision to accommodate you (or anyone else) when you have informed me in advance and we could have found a better solution. Since this something you can no longer fully commit to, I need you to please step down from participating in my wedding."

OP says she was called inconsistent and selfish for this move.

"When I agreed to be her bridesmaid I was more than willing to oblige with what she asked even if, at times, it was a lot of time and money," she wrote. "So am I the [jerk] for taking her to court because she kicked me out for cutting my hair?"

While virtually everyone said OP wasn't being a jerk, a reasonable point was raised in one of the top comments: despite the unfairness and hurt feelings, it's going to be awfully hard to recoup those losses in court without some kind of contract.

"Those are your dresses and your shoes," wrote one poster. "You did make a material change. It sucks all around. But don't take them to court. Jeez."

Another commenter said that the bride is definitely a bridezilla, but pointed out that "immediately sending an invoice" needlessly escalated something that might have been solved more amicably.

"Get your money back and cut your losses," wrote another Redditor. "Don't let anyone make you feel as if you're in the wrong!"

This was a common theme. Apparently even the other bridesmaids have reached out to OP to express their sorrow, but have stayed in the bridal party.

Reddit seems to think that OP was fully justified, although there were a couple of dissenting opinions.
