Bridesmaid’s excuse backfires! Pregnancy could have saved her from drama
ESH. Her for obvious reasons, although I would love to know her take on the letting you bow out of the day offer. At least in my experience that offer has been extended many times when bride learned a bridesmaid was pregnant. Not out of bad feelings for the bridesmaid but out of concern for her comfort + commitment needs. You for saying yes when you clearly didn’t want to and for the judgmental language dripping from your post. You’re not into weddings? Cool! Nobody needs to be. I’m not a huge fan myself and kept my wedding fairly small for that reason. Wedding at home sounds great. HOWEVER some people do find the wedding stuff enjoyable and important. She’s not wrong for being one of those people. No need to yuck her yum when all you had to do was say thanks but no thanks.
