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.

    I'm speechless. Did they really just try to play you like they were doing you a favor by being your friend and throw bible verses on top of it?! It's time to go in, OP. Copy & paste some of these comments if you have to, but let them have it!!

    OMG! I just read through the whole post and words can't even describe the rage I feel. I've never seen such racist bullshit in my life. Those text messages put me over the edge...sunburn...really? People that act, feel and say the things that were said should not even be called human beings and really have no place in this world.

    Please - do not ever apologize. Please - do not keep this from your husband and your family, they would never want you to feel the way you do or be hurt in this way. We don't even physically know you and I bet every one of us who posted here would be honored to meet you and call you friend. You are a beautiful human being and NO ONE deserves to be treated, spoken to in the way your "friends" have. There is no room in this world for such hatred - for any reason! Color of skin, religion, sexuality, etc...no room!

    Please don't allow these people to hurt you any more, extinguish them from your life and surround yourself with people that love you and care for you - for who you are.

    @jo rocka I believe that OP said that it's her family that are in France. As another poster pointed out it sounds like she is in USA or Canada by the text messages being in English and that they didn't think there was hobby lobby in France, living in Europe myself, as far as I'm aware, I could be wrong, but I don't think it is over this side of the Atlantic. Have never come across it.

    I am seeing red.

    Holy shit those texts! First of all - these racist bitches need to fall on spikes. Second, WTF is with the creepy-group speak??? "She brought you to us" "Can't come back to us". Do they chant "ONE OF US, ONE OF US" over cocktails or something???

    These women are gross and you are 100% better off without them. And post something if you're ever in the Ottawa area because I want to buy you all the drinks.

    Whiskey in hand. I'm back for the last four text messages. Pray for me.

    ETA: no no no no. No gifts. I'd torch the skirt and set the books on fire. Sorry, bitch. I'm so sorry they are so horrible, OP. If you're ever in Massachusetts you have a friend <3

    I think we at WW have you covered as far as friends go if you are in the states. You have a friend in Washington state if you're ever in these parts.

    What the literal fuck?!?!?! Those messages are crazy as hell!! She quoted the Bible at you?? As if God condones their behavior?!?! I have never seen anything more evil and manipulative than those messages. Please block that number and do not contact them again. Not to return her shit and not to get your shit back. You will be a much happier person with them out of your life. Sending you hugs and kisses and love!

    That is bullshit!!! I wouldn't even go if I was you! You have every right to be upset - some people amaze me with the way they handle this kind of, it truly brings out the very worst, but at least it allows you to see their true colors

    OP. Although you are hurt right now I'm so happy you stood your ground with this and don't tolerate these girls actions. This thread has been weighing on my mind since you first updated us. I would rather have no friends then to be surrounded by people like them. Don't be ashamed of what happened and let your husband and family know the situation that this evil bitch put you in. I'm sure they will be understanding of your point of view. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about this because you did absolutely nothing wrong here. Now that you've dropped the trash from your life you can move in a positive direction and make true and real friends.

    Your feelings are hurt as mine would be. If she was your moh the least she could've done was to make you a bm. I'd just go as a guest

    I can't even wrap my mind around how utterly disgusting these girls are...and I do mean girls, because grown ass women know how to treat other people with kindness and respect. OP, I am just so, so sorry. If you haven't already, I think you should send out a group text, and it should read: Hey, racist bitches....FUCK THE FUCK OFF!!! ALL THE WAY OFF!!

    OP I hope you come back and read the comments. I hope you find the support here that you need. As I said in my previous comment do not engage in any more conversations or dialogue with these people. They will try and test you. Try to break you down and the minute you respond they will go see I knew it you are just another angry black girl and they will use it to justify their nasty behavior. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Ignore them and move on with your life. You will always be better than them you don’t have to prove anything to them.

    There is no excuse for their behavior. They are sick and pathetic individuals. You deserve better and they do not deserve you!

    You know what is really going to ruin the pictures? Their ugly ass attitudes!

    Do NOT buy her an apology gift or answer the texts. How selfish of them to think they saved you and that you should buy their friendship.

    Run far and fast from their racist attitudes!

    I'm so sorry!

    Wow. They are terrible people. Just because she treated you better than those other women did does not mean she treated you well. It reminds me of Jane Austin's novel Emma, where the main character is a selfish asshole but thinks she is so nice because she occasionally makes a big show of being nice to those she sees as beneath her.

    I am so sorry that the person you thought was your best friend turned out to be so terrible.

    This has to be the biggest display of manipulative personalities I've seen in a long time! I would consider this all a blessing and never speak to them again. Grotesque, truly.

    If you want, buy a pie just to literally throw it in her face.

    Please don't be friends with her anymore. You don't need this kind of treatment. What a mean human being. My heart hurts for you.
