We know brides are often very particular when it comes to how their bridesmaids look, but this one has taken things a bit too far and a friendship may be over because of it.
A man shares on Reddit that he was asked to be a bridesmaid at his best friend’s wedding and he agreed, until he found out what the bride expected him to wear. He writes, “She wants me to wear makeup that matches what her and the other bridesmaids are wearing and she wanted me to wear a dress.”
At first the OP thought the bride was joking, but she was serious, and after he told her he wasn’t okay with it, things turned ugly. “She was mad,” he writes. “She said she didn’t understand how her best friend could refuse to be her bridesmaid.” The OP told her he was “not comfortable” with her request, and the bride was so angry she’s now disinvited him to the wedding, and hasn’t spoken to him. since.
As for the Internet, they’ve totally got the OP’s back.
-“You can have a man in your bridal party as a ‘brides man’ who wears a suit with colors that accent the bridesmaid dress colors,” replied one user. “She is being inflexible and ridiculous. Stand your ground.”
-Another added, “Your best friend is insisting you dress in something that would clearly make you uncomfortable,” noting, “That is entirely unfair to you.”
