Honorary Bridesmaids? Yes or no!

My “bestfriend” just asked me to be her honorary bridesmaid.She said she had 9 bridesmaids originally (me included) but her fiancé said he doesn’t have many friends so she decided to make me a honorary bridesmaid.

My “bestfriend” just asked me to be her honorary bridesmaid.She said she had 9 bridesmaids originally (me included) but her fiancé said he doesn’t have many friends so she decided to make me a honorary bridesmaid. Really?you had 9bridesmaids originally?Yeah right.

She also mentioned it was because she ”knew” (I wonder how) l wouldn’t want to get involved in all the whole wedding organization/activities mess.She said she will still give me “one” of the gifts she has prepared for her bridesmaids so l don’t feel excluded.

I don’t know how to feel about it. Especially because l got married this past May (so l know A LOT about wedding organization/activities) and SHE WAS MY MOH.

I was the only person with her when she bought her wedding dress (& she was the only one l had too). Her “friends” & mom bailed out on her & none of the girls picked up or called back when she was calling to show them the dress.

I feel like saying no and even not going. Do you think lm overreacting?Im hurt.

    And these girls are claiming to be christians??? I'm sorry I am a follower of Jesus, and personally I am so furious at the fact at the way they are treating you and quoting verses. These girls need to read more on there Bible. True christians wouldn't dare treat someone like this!! I'm so sorry for how you've been treated. I pray that you and your husband have a wonderful marriage!!

    I don't think y'all friendship level is on the same page...I would just go as a guest if you're still trying to salvage that relationship.

    It just seems strange that you're not even a regular BM when she was your MOH.

    "I just do not want you to regret this and not be able to come back to us because it is too late". WHAT IN THE ACTUAL

    Do any of these people realize how asinine they sound??? I can't even

    ETA: Seriously, OP, I know others have mentioned this, but if you're comfortable sharing your general location I KNOW there are many of us that would love to meet up and be actual friends with you. Do not allow the fear of "But you'll end up all alone" stop you from walking away from this cluster.

    I'm having trouble picking my jaw up off the floor after reading this. Someone mentioned it above, it sounds like these fucking wackjob racists shitheads are part of a cult. Spewing religious bs to manipulate a person is so fucked up.

    OP i wish I knew where you were to give you a hug. I am so sorry you've had to endure being treated like this and then made to seem like you were the one out of line. You deserve better. There is a better tribe for you out there that will show you what real friendship is. Join local fitness groups, take art classes, sign up to volunteer at a nursing home or animal shelter.

    I echo the same as the above me and @JoRocka would have a field day, our petty is on the same level. Give them the link to this thread...let us at them!

    Also, if you're in the San Diego area, girl you got a friend in me. And if you wanna email shout me out and I'll give you my email.

    *signed Amanda, mixed girl who is ARAB and White, grew up in small town Oklahoma and NEVER had someone be so blatantly racist and manipulative as these psychotic bitches.

    I think she's in France- but I mean if you want to hoof it out there to kick some ass- I could probably be convinced.

    Nonna- I think that's the thing- context clues matter. LMAO

    @JoRocka just renewed my passport and am ready. We can hit up Moulin Rouge and Paris Disney and just make it a thing. LOL **edit** OP: I also explained this whole thing to my VERY White (Irish ) fiancé, because he saw how riled up I was...he seriously was FLOORED and had no words but was team you all the way Smiley smile tell your hubby! You need his support and a massive hug!

    Took some time in the HM to catch up on WW and this is what I see. OP I am so sorry that you have had these experiences and your friend SUCKS. I realize that's an understatement too... oh boy.

    You don't need those bitches, hang out with us in the States!

    @OP, post the wedding details. We'll give your so called circle of friends a lesson on uniformity.

    Also, if you are ever in Western PA you are always ALWAYS welcome.

    In the words of my late grandmother, "No. Hell no. SHIT ASS NO." That sickened me to my stomach and I am shaking for you OP. I am so so sorry that these disgraceful, miserable excuses for human beings ever had the nerve to call themselves your "friends." You deserve so much better than that.

    OP, I am so glad you are getting away from these malakas- sorry MY English is failing me because there just isn't an appropriately descriptive word for them. Holy shit. Seriously, they want to quote the bible at you and tell you to apologise- hell no. Walk the fuck away and shake the damn dust from your feet as you go. I know you said you're in France, but if you're ever in central Ohio, let me know.

    If you are currently living in the states and I misunderstood, just know that not everyone here is like that.

    I don't know ANYONE like those girls. I live in near Chicago, which is probably why. Our area is very culturally diverse.

    My brain is having a hard time processing the sheer nonsense that those girls spewed at you in those texts. I have no words, but I am so angry for you. Big hug for standing up to them. Please tell your husband. He should be supporting you. And know you've got a friend in NYC.
