Is the bride being unreasonable?

She's a pyscho bitch. You're not being unreasonable.

Thanks again everyone! It is nice to have all of you to vent to! Your comments and advice helped me get through the weekend!

The wedding day was miserable but it's over! I felt like I didn't belong, like an outsider. I didn't realize how much my friend has changed. The whole day she gravitated to her future husbands' family whether it was for help or just to talk. She ignored me completely until the reception when she needed help going to the bathroom. I even performed a test to see how long it would take for her to initiate a conversation with me....after 5 hours I stopped timing. I felt like an employee more than anything...I picked up food for her, her mom, daughter, and aunt while they were getting ready, I helped her to the restroom twice, untangled her veil, and drove her daughter to the wedding and to the reception (while she rode in another car because she claimed my car probably had too much dog hair in it without even checking) I was hurt because the plan was for me to drive her to the wedding and reception so I went to the trouble of cleaning my car really well and then she changes her mind.

I was lonely the whole time because I didn't know anyone at the reception because she only invited family but then again I'm starting to think she doesn't have many friends anymore. The other 2 bridesmaids were the grooms' sister and sister in law so I couldn't vent to them. The fourth bridesmaid dropped out because she didn't have enough money. Smart girl. I sat all alone at the head table, drinking $6 captain morgans from the cash bar. After a few drinks I was feeling a little tipsy so I went up to the DJ and told him that the bride loves Britney Spears and requested a big remix of all her songs. It's true too. It was hilarious to see the look on her face.

The reception was decorated extravagantly considering her tight budget and lack of willingness to pay for the rehearsal dinner. She had a $2500 dress, $150 hair and makeup, an award winning photographer (I'm not making this up), nice reception venue but nooooo rehearsal dinner! She catered fried chicken from a fast food joint, it was horrible. I swallowed my pride and slipped $10 into a 99 cent "value" wedding card and wished them the best. I didn't have it in me to spend anymore money on them. The groom made a point to mention how the best man paid for the DJ. I felt kind of guilty for only giving them $10 after that but only for a short while until I remembered all the trouble I went to for them and their lack of appreciation. I prefer to spend my money on things that make me happy and she definitely doesn't anymore. Anyways, to sum it up, you all helped me realize that I wasn't being dramatic, my "friend's" actions were ridiculous. Thank you. Best wishes to you all on your special days!

Rosey.... I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. Good for you for being cognizant of what she put you through. Your kindness and levelheadedness will get you far. Best wishes to you!

I am sorry that you went through that, a MOH is supposed to be your best friend, someone you want to share the event with, that is why you chose her, not just so she can help you go to the bathroom, there are buddies for that made of fabric. It is over and you can move passed it but I am sorry that this event will change your friendship (at least i suspect it will). Keep the kind heart that it seems you have and thank you for being here with your story. Again, my condolences on the changes that have happened between you guys.

Rosey, you have NOTHING to feel guilty about. It sounds like this "friend" doesn't deserve you!! What a mess.

Ugh, I'm sorry that happened to you. None of this is on you. I'd re-think that friendship entirely.

Ha! I love that you slipped them $10 in a value card. What an ungrateful biotch.

No. Fuck that. She's a bitch.

Sorry for the friend you have I don't wish that on anyone

PLEASE send her a link to this thread!

So sorry you had to put up with someone like that!

What a fucking C-U-Next-Tuesday! I'm so sorry you had to put up with her bullshit.

You poor things! It's like your her minions! Does she realize how she's behaving? I mean, shut it down if you can? Have a one on one with her? Sounds like a miserable experience and an explosion is bound to happen.

Ugh she sounds awful. And honestly how much does pizza cost? It's not that expensive. The least she can do after you guys help her set up the hall is feed you! ETA: Just realized this was more of an update. I should've read the comments first! But that is still awful. I'm sorry you had to put up with all that! I'd definitely be rethinking that friendship if I were you!

Wow just wow

Im so sorry. Thats awful. I hope all of the brides can read this as a gentle reminder of what should be important.

Oh geez. Welp looks like you have less issue to deal with now that it over with.

It sounds awful! It did make me smile when i read your gift to them lol although i'd have been tempted to put an itemised bill of my time in instead!

That's horrible

You sound like an awesome person lol $10!!

Good riddens to that Nasty person

Sometimes you just need to slap some sense into assholes.
