It’s a time of joy and celebration when it comes to weddings, with all the excitement and anticipation of the big day. But for one bridesmaid, the events surrounding her sister-in-law’s wedding took a dramatic turn when the bride made some controversial comments.
The bridesmaid, who has been with her fiancé for five years, was left feeling uncomfortable when her sister-in-law began to praise a female ex-friend of her fiancé’s who had caused a lot of damage in the past. The bride then proceeded to say that she wished her brother had ended up with the female ex-friend instead of the bridesmaid.
Unable to stay in the role of bridesmaid, the woman chose to step down and give her dress to the bride so that she could still contact the female ex-friend to be the new bridesmaid. Her fiance’s family was supportive of her decision, but her actual family was not so understanding.
Now, the bridesmaid is questioning whether she was wrong for walking away from the role of bridesmaid, or if the bride is the one in the wrong for making such comments. She posted her story on the AITA subreddit to find out what Redditors would think.
