“Friends” make fun of my wedding

Maria Diab, on January 30, 2020 at 11:43 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 18
This has bothering me for quite some time, but my so called friends, whom I cut off all ties with now, had been so condescending and rude at my wedding. I try not to think about it but it’s hard not to when they’ve made fun of your wedding dress, venue, came late , judged everything and gossiped. When people make fun of the way you looked on one of the most important days of your life, really hurts. And now I just hate looking at my wedding pictures and I can’t stop wishing I had picked a different dress, hairstyle etc.


Although my family tells me to not listen to those toxic people and know that I did look beautiful, how can I see it myself? What would you do if you were in my shoes?

    On the day of your wedding how did you feel? Were you happy? Did you feel beautiful?

    Remember how you felt on that day! Don't let toxic people influence or ruin those feelings!!

    I once sat at a table at a reception with one of these types of people. She wasnt talking about the wedding we were at, but the wedding of someone she considered herself to be a good friend of. This was wrong, that was wrong, she couldn't believe they didn't spent more money. Blah blah blah. Honestly, I havent spoken to that person again, nor do I want to. After that, I had no need for her in my life.


    Its cliche to say that they were just jealous, but honestly, that's all there is to it.
    The people who mean the most to you, and you to them, will not talk about you like that.

    What they thought/talked about your wedding is not your problem. Don’t let it get to you. Focus on what you loved and avoid their negativity which it sounds like you’ve already done! It’s your day and always will be, don’t ever let another steal your joy.

    You said you cut ties right? Then you did the right thing. No need for negativity in your life.

    I would cut those "friends" out of my life immediately. Those aren't friends at all.

    That is horrible! How did you feel on your wedding day? That should be the only opinion that matters, not anyone else. Maybe they were jealous but regardless, don't let crabby people ruin your experience. Focus on everything you loved!

    They actually said these things directly to me on my wedding day, which is what ruined my mood. But thank you everyone and Mson is right, I shouldn't let someone else steal my joy.

    i am so sorry those awful people said that to you Smiley sad

    i am glad you cut ties with them.

    it can be hard to remind yourself sometimes because we can be our own worst critic, but you are beautiful and happiness is also from within.

    That is so horrible for someone you considered a friend to act that way on such a big day. I'm so sorry! You did the right thing by cutting off ties with them! I know it's easier said than done, but don't let it get to you. If you had an amazing time at your wedding, and married the person of your dreams, then what other people think does NOT matter. It's not about how much money you spent, but about how much love you have. Don't hate looking at your wedding pictures, it should be fun to reminisce on such an important day!

    I’m so, so, so sorry your so-called friends did this. That is incredibly cruel and hurtful, and you have every reason to feel hurt. That said, don’t regret the decisions you made about your dress, hair, venue, etc. You made the right decisions for you, so nobody else’s opinion matters.

    This is exactly why my FH refuses to invite his brother and SIL to our wedding. This is apparently what they do at every wedding they attend. I've never met her, but I'm told the wife is particularly harsh with her comments about other couples' choices, how much they spent, and doesn't really care who overhears her, or who she might offend.

    There are other reasons they aren't invited to our wedding, and why FH has pretty much cut all ties with them. But that's just so rude!! You don't need that kind of negativity in your life!! I'm sure your day was beautiful and perfect. Remember it that way!!

    I’m so sorry that happened to you. Your wedding is about you, your new spouse and your future. Unfortunately these ex friends don’t get to win a spot in your future. Just focus on the wonderful parts of your wedding day. Don’t let the negativity cast a fog over your wedding memories.

    I am sorry that this happened to you. But you know what, you did the right thing for your peace of mind and well-being by cutting them off. Those ARE NOT your friends. NOPE. No way. Can't believe there are people like that; so dang rude and disrespectful. My heart breaks for you. And I'm sorry that when you look at your pictures you don't feel good about yourself. It shouldn't be that way. I hope you feel better now that you've cut those people out of your life. You don't want to start married life with a bunch of fakes in your circle. As long as in the moment, you felt beautiful, you felt loved, you felt like a bride, that's all that matters. Don't make anyone take those raw, genuine feelings away from you. This was to be the happiest day of your life. Those fake "friends" have no place in your life anymore. Enjoy your married life. Live life to the fullest, enjoy your spouse's company. And do not allow negative people in your life. Believe me, I've had my fair share, and these individuals are the same ones who probably don't even know I'm getting married or even engaged. I am very protective of my peace and I realize that trying to sustain toxic friendships gave me anxiety, stress, and I lost a lot of sleep stressing over people who stressed me out! Thinking I could change people, salvage friendships. Nope, I'm not the same in that regard anymore. Fiance and I have 2 daughters together, and we have to protect our peace, our household and our happiness. You should do the same. Congratulations on your marriage, and I'm wishing you the best going forward. Once again, I am very sorry that these things happened to you. But try to hold your head high, and shake off the negativity.Smiley heart

    I agree with your family. I'm sure you were beautiful and your spouse loved your outfit. Those people are toxic/immature and it's a great thing you've decided to cut them our of your life

    I am so sorry for what you went through. I had a similar situation happen at my wedding. My husband's friends girlfriend who pretended to be my friend is a narcissist and she made snide comments about a small handful of children including my ring bearer who is a nephew being at the wedding and reception. and also at my bridal shower she made some snide comments saying my dress looked brand new that I must have known about my bridal shower. I cut off all contact with her. She is very insecure, Jealous, Envious, Spiteful, Bitter, Hateful and Selfish.

    Thank you so much everyone for being so supportive and kind. When I wrote this post, I had no idea at the influx of warm and sweet messages I would receive. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make my day better.


    It's sad to say that anyone much less a "friend" would critique someone else's wedding day. I was so caught up in what they had said, that I forgot that the only thing which should matter is the union between me and my husband.
