Appearance is important, but it's not the key factor to judge a person. We all know that a warm and kind heart matters most, and the old saying "don't judge a book by its cover" is always true. That said, there are many mean people who judge and treat others based on their looks, especially their weight. How can one call another their best friend but not allow that friend to show up in their wedding photos? Just hearing about such a situation makes us furious, which is exactly how the Redditor feels about the story below.

A Reddit account called u/quinthfae has shared how shocked she was after she invited her friend to become her bridesmaid. She planned to have three bridesmaids at the ceremony and asked each woman privately at their houses. One of them, A, is a great friend who has had the poster's back and gone through thicks and thin with her for half of her life. The kind woman even suggested the writer host the wedding in her backyard. That's why the Redditor really wanted A to join the best day of her life.

The bride thought A used to be a bridesmaid since she had several close friends, including long-term childhood friends who got married before. A even shared how she helped set up for their big days, so the Redditor's assumption was understandable.
However, it turned out that the Reddit user was the first bride who wanted the woman to be her bridesmaid. She confessed that everyone thought she wasn't beautiful enough to appear in the photos since she was overweight.

The bride was astonished to know the truth that she could never imagine. The woman was always willing to help her friends with both financial and other issues, but she was treated terriblely just because of her weight.

The poster tried her best to restore her friend's shattered self-esteem. The woman is pretty with a beautiful heart, and that's the only thing she needs to stand by the bride's side. However, the Redditor was annoyed since their supposedly heartfelt moment was ruined by her horrible friends' manner. She felt angry since it was clear that those "childhood friends" didn't deserve her generous and kindhearted friend.

On the other hand, some Redditors criticized those who put perfect photos over their good friends. Many shared that their beloved family and friends must be a part of the happiest day of their life, and the idea of appearance never crossed their minds. Others also revealed similar situations when they were treated unfairly just because of their looks.
