Bride fumes as her bridesmaid gets married just three weeks before her

Having planned her wedding since the proposal over a year ago, one woman has been left fuming as her bridesmaid is getting married out of the blue just three weeks before her

A soon-to-be married woman is fuming as the bridesmaid for her wedding is getting married just three weeks before her, and wants her to be bridesmaid at her wedding. The woman took to a Reddit post to explain that her partner proposed over a year ago and since then the pair have been planning their wedding.

In the planning, the woman asked four of her closest friends to be in her bridal party, and they immediately agreed.

She explained: “They all agreed so we started looking at the typical wedding stuff. We picked out a venue and decided on a November wedding, based on the availability at the venue.

“Everything was pretty smooth sailing and then one of my bridesmaids found out she was pregnant. No big deal I was so excited for her!”

However, the excitement soon turned to anger as her bridesmaid informed her that she would be marrying the father of the baby just three weeks before the author’s big day.

“Oh and she also asked me to be a bridesmaid. Not that I minded being one,” she explained.

“I was happy for her and excited to share her day with her, as she would be sharing mine with me, but with it being so close to my own wedding and us paying for a good portion of things ourselves, we really don’t have any extra money to spend on another wedding.”

Now the woman feels overshadowed by her friend who has just recently got engaged.

“I guess at this point I’m starting to feel overshadowed because here I am having been planning a wedding for almost a year and now she starts asking about her wedding and things such as her Bachelorette party etc” she continued.

On top of everything, the friend has now missed some events which have driven an ever deeper wedge between the pair, with the other woman not sure that her bridesmaid will show up on the day.

“She’s missed important things for my wedding (bridal shower being the most important to me, even though she was notified over a month in advance of the shower date) so I’m starting to question if she’ll even show up at this point,” explained the author.

“She also told me yesterday that they’re already married (courthouse wedding I’m guessing) but not to say anything to anyone because they don’t want anyone else to know. To me this made it even worse.”

In response, many have been quick to judge the author with one writing: “Her life can’t stop just because you have plans. Support each other as best you can. Tell her what you can afford and accept that her priorities need to be around her family, too.”

While another said: “You absolutely don’t own the weeks before or after your wedding or expect others not to have a life that does not go by your calendar.”
