Her best friend then argued that when she got married at 18, she never had to pay for a dress. But that was only because they all chose to wear their prom dresses instead of purchasing new ones.
She didn’t overhear this conversation, but her bridesmaid filled her in later on after sticking up for her.
A month after the dress shopping trip, her best friend phoned her up to ask her to buy her dress outright.
She mentioned to her best friend it was unfair of her to buy hers, but not buy dresses for the other bridesmaids.
She reminded her best friend she can’t even afford to purchase dresses for everyone in the bridal party.
“She said she is the MOH and that everyone would understand it was a privilege she got,” she added.
“I disagreed, and our argument got a little heated. It ended with me saying if she could not get the dress, she couldn’t be in the wedding and I wasn’t budging on this. She hung up on me.”
“Her mom has since called me saying I’m being very rude for not doing this one thing for her so she can be there on my big day and that I don’t understand what it’s like to not have money for things. I told her I have struggled before too and understand, but said I’m not paying for the dress because it won’t be fair to all of the other bridesmaids.”
She ultimately decided to replace her best friend and ask one of her more helpful bridesmaids to hold the role of Maid Of Honor.
She informed her best friend of her decision before saying she is still invited as a guest to the wedding.
After telling some of her family members about the situation, they believe she should have paid for her best friend’s dress.
