Hey there, Facebook fam! We’ve got a story for you today that’s sure to get your emotions running high! Our bride-to-be (24F) is getting married in September and asked her best friend from middle school, E (23F), to be her maid of honor. E has a history of anxiety and stress, but our bride assured her there was no pressure. E was super excited to take on the role, but things haven’t gone as smoothly as our bride hoped. From radio silence to ghosting the bridal party, E’s actions have left our bride feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do. But wait, there’s more! You won’t believe the drama that unfolds…

Maid of Honor Meltdown: Should She Step Down?
Our bride-to-be is facing quite the dilemma as her maid of honor, E, has been less than helpful in the wedding planning process. ♀️ Despite being excited to take on the role, E has been unresponsive, ignored the other bridesmaids, and even ghosted the entire bridal party for 3 months! With the bachelorette party approaching and no word on whether E has even ordered her dress, our bride is at her wit’s end. When confronted, E claims our bride doesn’t understand depression and accuses her of being privileged. So, the big question is: should our bride ask E to step down as the maid of honor? Let’s dive into the internet’s top responses to this emotional rollercoaster of a situation!
