Undoubtedly, we are all thrilled to be invited to our close friend’s wedding and have an important role as the Maid of Honor. Unfortunately, problems and quarrels are inevitable during the ceremony’s organizing process. We understand that our friend may be too excited before her big day, so we try to satisfy her demands. However, we can only give in to a certain extent. If our friend turns out to be an entitled Bridezilla, we have no reason to comply with her irrational requirements.

A woman known as
u/kateymand turned to Reddit to ask if she was wrong when refusing to come to her best friend’s wedding after their conflict, and the internet supported her.According to the post, the Reddit user was invited to be the Maid of Honor on her friend’s special day. Though she was hard up, she managed to set aside $3000 to prepare for the ceremony. She mentioned her financial issue to her friend, but the bride didn't take it seriously.

After spending on various things such as clothes, accessories, and the bachelorette party, the poster figured out she was out of budget. Her friends were impervious to her financial condition and continued making her spend more on make-up and hair.

The Redditor strived to endure until the wedding, but bridesmaid dresses became the last straw. The bride chose dresses with the price of $450 each, which doubled the cost of an average one. Surprisingly, the poster was expected to pay for all 6 bridesmaid dresses, equal to $2700.

The woman wasn’t able to pay for that huge amount, so she suggested another choice. Her mother was good at making those clothes and would provide them with lower costs. She tried to persuade her friend, but no dice. Consequently, she frankly told the bride that she wouldn’t spend any more money for the wedding as her expenditure had already been $1000 over her plan.

The bride was crossed with the Reddit user and said she should be responsible for her promise to be the Maid of Honor. She had a go at the poster for trying to manipulate her wedding with a “cheap lifestyle” and fired the user's role at the ceremony.

Most commenters sided with the writer and agreed that the bride in the thread was so entitled that the poster should steer clear of her. She didn’t respect the Redditor and did everything she wanted. Ridiculously, she expected her Maid of Honor, who had told her about her financial struggle, to pay for what she liked.
