Maid of Honor’s Shocking Surprise: Homophobic Bachelorette Party

Imagine planning a low-key bachelorette party with your best friends, only to walk into a wildly inappropriate and offensive surprise. That’s exactly what happened to our 22-year-old bride, who had been dating her now-wife (23F) for eight years. After COVID-19 disrupted their wedding plans, the couple decided to have a small backyard ceremony with just eight people. Little did the bride know, her maid of honor had other plans for her bachelorette party, and it all went downhill from there.
