An annoyed bride to be has gone on a rant after her bridesmaid got engaged ahead of the big day. But the internet is not having it.
A bride-to-be has slammed her best friend and maid of honour for “stealing her thunder,” by getting engaged before her wedding.
The woman said the big day is coming up in November and she was worried that her newly-engaged friend’s focus would no longer be on being a bridesmaid, reports The Sun.
The unhappy bride continued that her friend often “swoops in” on her plans, but internet users were left divided at her rant.
Taking to internet message board Mumsnet, the irate bride, going by the name Firehazrd wrote: “I’m getting married in a few months. My maid of honour is my best friend, and she just got engaged too — he didn’t propose, they just sort of mutually agreed on it.”
While she insisted she was happy for her friend, she went on to explain how she was a bit annoyed at her BFF: “Obviously I’m delighted that my best mate has found the One, but I’m a bit p***ed off that they had to do this now.”
The annoyed bride said that her friend now can’t stop talking about her “hypothetical wedding,” and this means she feels like she “can’t even run the seating chart past her ATM because I’ll be taking away the spotlight from her recent engagement!”
In addition to this, the engaged friend is said to constantly “copy her interests” and had only been with her fiance for a year.
The bride said of her own day: “I need this. I need the fuss. I deserve my day, right? I’ve waited so d**n long for this.
“I do believe they love each other and I genuinely am happy, I just wish they’d waited a few months more.
“I’m happy to still have her in my bridal party, she is my best mate, I’m just a bit peed off about it all. Am I being a horrible bridezilla type?”
Mumsnet users were quick to chime into the debate with their own thoughts, and many accused her of being a “jealous friend”.
She didn't receive much support:
One person said: “At the end of the day it’s your wedding and although it maybe nice if they lend you a hand you shouldn’t be expecting anyone but you and your DP (dear partner) to put the work in!”
Some questioned if their friendship was even real and worth keeping.
“It sounds like she’s not even truly a friend op because if she was you’d have been genuinely delighted for her. Get over yourself!” One woman wrote.
Meanwhile one person spared a thought for her husband, and wrote: “It’s interesting that in talking about your big day and what you deserve and blah blah blah you never once mention your husband to be.”
Lesson of the day? The internet certainly has no time for self absorbency... of any kind.
