While most people who are going to a wedding are excited to have another celebration in their lives, sometimes it can lead to drama. Especially if you’re the bride and you decide to ask your guests who aren’t close family members to be involved in the preparations. But it happens and a bride who is getting married this year sought out the subreddit ‘AITA’ for some help with her bridesmaid who was creating trouble over the dress.
In the thread , she explains that the bridesmaid, named Kacy, wanted to wear a specific dress and when a store associate told her she couldn’t wear it because it would rip, she snatched another one off the mannequin instead. This led to a conflict when Kacy argued that she shouldn’t have to pay for the destroyed dress because it was covered by her friend’s (the bride’s) budget and it wasn’t really her fault.
The drama didn’t end there as other guests got involved and each had their own opinion on what should be done. Have a read through the heated story below and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments!
