Bride Demands Best Friend Pay for Bachelorette Party or Lose Bridesmaid Role
"It does hurt feeling like I can only prove my worth if it's financial," the bridesmaid mourned A bride has threatened to demote her bridesmaid if she doesn't attend her expensive bachelorette party. In a recent post on Reddit's "Bridezillas" forum, the bridesmaid asked users on the platform for advice after the bride "flipped out" on her for the first time in their six-year-long friendship when she told her she couldn't afford her bachelorette weekend. "She told me I am either all in and can remain a bridesmaid or if I don't pay up I can attend as a guest," the bridesmaid wrote. The bridesmaid was shocked by the bride's drastic reaction because they've been best friends for so long, and the bride knows what her current financial situation is. "We have been there for each other financially, physically and emotionally and have raised our children together," the bridesmaid shared. "I am a divorced single mom and she knows I am struggling to make ends meet right now." When the woman agreed to be a bridesmaid, she didn't anticipate not being able to afford the pre-wedding festivities because everything was planned to take place locally. She never expected the local bachelorette party expenses to be comparable to those of a lavish destination trip. "When the MOH (maid of honor) started discussing plans for a LOCAL bachelorette weekend (think, sleepover at the MOH house, brunch and some activities) I wasn't expecting to pay an outrageous amount of money," she explained. "However, with the itinerary she suggested the cost is looking at $500+ — and we aren't even going on a trip!" The Redditor is unsure whether or not spending hundreds of dollars on a bachelorette party is "normal." However, the remaining four bridal party members — the bride's sister, groom's sister, and two of the bride's friends — appear to take no issue with the high cost because they're all planning on shelling out the cash. "I told them I could not afford that and instead could compromise and let them know which events I can participate in," the bridesmaid said. "This did not go over well and it got back to the bride (my best friend) who flipped out on me for the first time in our friendship!" This is the first time the bridesmaid and bride have ever fought over money. "This really hurt me because I've never seen that side of her and I don't want to lose our friendship," the bridesmaid wrote. "I want to stand by her on one of the most important days of our lives but I'm not going to lie it does hurt feeling like I can only prove my worth if it's financial." Unsure what to do next, the bridesmaid has taken "some space" from the bride and "a step back" from their friendship. "I don't even know about how to have this conversation with her given that it ended up in a fight the last time," she admitted. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The majority of Reddit users commented that reevaluating the friendship was the right move, and that the bridesmaid "deserves better friends." "If you're being judged on the value of your friendship by a monetary amount, she is not a true friend," the top comment reads. "Drop out of wedding — do not attend, drop out of her life. If she was really your best friend this wouldn't matter. You do realize she told you straight out her friendship comes at a monetary cost right?" one Redditor wrote, with another agreeing, "She just told you what you are worth to her $500.00, not a penny more. [With] friends like that, who needs enemies?" In a comment, the bridesmaid wrote: "I know that I deserve to be treated better I'm just conflicted because she's never acted like this before and has always been supportive and understanding. Part of me wants to give her grace but this is so out of character and I'm having a hard time deciding to step out of the wedding party and distance myself or ending the friendship entirely over this." She added that she might write her friend a letter to express how she's feeling. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Bride puts ‘plus-size' wedding guests at ‘Weight Watchers' table — and claims it was a ‘body positive' thing: ‘Straight-up rude and humiliating'
She threw big shade on her big day. Under the guise of 'body positivity,' a brazen bridezilla sat all of her plus-size guests — including chunky close relatives — at table labeled 'Weight Watchers.' 'My sister sat me at a table specifically reserved for overweight people at her wedding reception,' the bride's older sibling, a 32-year-old woman, virtually known as Basic-Donut2903, ranted on Reddit. After assisting her little sis, 30, in perfecting all of the big day arrangements, the outraged Redditor was stunned to learned that she'd been sequestered to the heavyset seating area of the fat-shaming fête. 'I go to find my table… and I swear to god, the little name card says 'Weight Watchers,' wrote Basic-Donut2903. 'Not like a cute table name or a funny inside joke…just 'Weight Watchers.' I thought maybe I misread it or something, but nope.' 'I look around and realize everyone at the table is plus-size,' she added. 'All of us. Every single person there.' 'I was mortified.' But was the bulge-conscious bride ready to apologize for the offense? Fat chance. 'I pulled my sister aside and asked her what the hell that was about and she literally laughed,' continued the vexed victim, noting that she is the only member of her immediate family who's plump. 'She goes, 'Oh my god, don't be so sensitive, I just thought it'd be more comfortable if people were with others like them. It's a body positive thing.'' It was the bride's way of turning a positive into a negative. However, she's not alone. The once-revered body positivity movement — a social push for the inclusion and acceptance of all weights, shapes and sizes — has recently suffered several black eyes, owing to the meteoric rise of weight loss trends and drugs. Former body positivity front runners, such as Grammy winner, Lizzo, and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, Heather Gay, have admittedly turned to the buzzy anti-obesity jabs, like Ozempic, to shed excess chub. Gay, 51, even called the inclusive campaign a 'big lie,' saying, 'It is better to not be overweight.' And Basic-Donut2903's newly-hitched sister obviously agrees. 'How is putting all the bigger people at one table body positive?,' the wounded innocent questioned in her Reddit post. 'It felt more like, 'Hide the fat guests in the corner so they don't ruin the aesthetic.'' 'So I left,' she said. 'I didn't make a big scene, I just quietly grabbed my gift and dipped…my feelings are legit so hurt right now.' 'Am I overreacting?? Or was that straight-up rude and humiliating?,' the beleaguered bridesmaid asked the cyber community before joking, 'Also, I wore Spanx for 4 hours and I want compensation.' But furious folks online weren't in a laughing mood. 'That was incredibly rude and childish of her and you have every reason to be upset,' insisted an incensed commenter. 'Weddings are supposed to be a time of joining together, not making people feel separated or singled out.' Am I overreacting, or was this super messed up??? byu/Basic-Donut2903 inAmIOverreacting 'As a fellow fat myself, I would be internally screaming and wanting to get myself as far away as possible from my sister and her mean spirited seating arrangement,' an equally peeved person wrote, in part. 'I hope you are able to put your sister in her place on this one because it's really cringy what she did to you and the other plus sized guests.' 'What she did is unforgivable and extremely cruel,' echoed another. 'Your sister is a hurtful, shallow human. What an idiot. I'm furious on your behalf. You (and everyone else at that table!) deserve much better,' said a separate supporter of Basic-Donut2903. 'If/when you get married,' another advocate advised, 'you can have a 'Rude B*tch' table and she can sit at the head of it.'

Furious Aunt Reacts to Niece's Wedding Dress Code: 'No Hats, No Colors, Just Black'
A woman is debating if it's unreasonable for her to be "shocked" by her niece's wedding dress code In a Mumsnet post, she revealed her niece has chosen a monochrome theme for her fall nuptials 'No hats. No fascinators. No flowers in our hair. No coloured shoes or handbags. And wait for it — no nail polish,' the woman saidA woman is in shock after discovering the dress code her niece has chosen for her upcoming wedding. Describing her niece as a "bridezilla" on Mumsnet, the woman said she understands that it's "her day — her rules" and can therefore choose whatever she desires for her wedding this October. However, that hasn't stopped her from being "shocked" by her niece's strict dress code for the occasion. "We are all to wear black and only black," the woman said as she began listing the rules. is now available in the Apple App Store! Download it now for the most binge-worthy celeb content, exclusive video clips, astrology updates and more! "No hats. No fascinators. No flowers in our hair. No coloured shoes or handbags. And wait for it — no nail polish," she added. The woman said her niece wants a "monochrome wedding." But, she's eager for opinions on whether or not she's being unreasonable for not liking the dress code. A poll shared underneath the June 22 post garnered hundreds of votes, with the majority of people telling the woman that she wasn't unreasonable. "That is really odd. Especially the bit about no nail varnish. I only wear black with a big flash of colour (bright shoes, hair wrap etc). Wearing all black washes me out a bit and doesn't seem very celebratory," one person commented. "Blimey, I went to a funeral last week and the wife of the deceased asked us not to wear black as it would be too depressing. She wanted to celebrate her husband's life. Black at a wedding sounds really miserable," another said. A third chimed in, "Is it bats---? Yes. Is it overstepping to insist on how people have their nails? Yes. But is it only one day out of your life for someone you love and fairly easy to accomplish (charity shops have racks and racks of black clothing)? Yes. But I am with you, I think it's fairly ridiculous." "I'd honestly not go if I were invited to a wedding with a specified colour scheme," another person said. "It's indicative of entirely the wrong priorities and a strong indication that the wedding may well be crap. Because the priority is the look of photos and not the hosting of guests."

While several commenters said they wouldn't go to the nuptials, other responses to the post said they had seen a similar dress code become trendy on social media. "It's an Instagram trend. The black dresses were all evening dresses in the one I saw and looked very stylish, so quite different from a funeral," one person wrote. They continued, 'I think North American wedding dress code tends to be more evening dress than in the U.K. (my brother's Canadian mil [mother-in-law] wore a beautiful evening gown to their wedding, but looked a bit bridesmaid, but I've since discovered that's normal in North America). It's not what I would choose, but I don't think it's that outrageous a request.' Read the original article on People
