Weddings undoubtedly have an uncanny knack for bringing out the very worst in people. It's a time that's absolutely ripe for reactions to get blown way out of proportion, and what naturally results are all kinds of dramatic blowups that really needn't ever happened in the first place. However, in this case, it sounds like the bridesmaid who was kicked out of the wedding by the bride after getting her very pricey haircut, had her understandable reasons. If you enjoyed this AITA drama, check out some more wedding drama with this bit about a groom's brother who called the fiancée a gold digger, and then proceeded to get kicked out of the wedding.

    Rectangle - 6 S 15 14 O 1 AITA for taking my friend to court after she kicked me out of the bridal party for cutting my hair? Not the A-hole For my friend's 3 day wedding, I had to buy three different dresses (including alterations, and specific shoes which totalled over $700. She also wanted specific hair styles for each day.

    Font - Unfortunately starting in March my hair started to deteriorate. Due to health reasons my hair was falling out in chunks and in May i made the difficult decision to cut my hair. I told the bride about my decision two weeks before the wedding and she didn't say anything bad. The following week, she came over to my house and when she was about to leave, she brought up that she was concerned about my haircut and I told her it would look good even though I wouldn't be uniform with the other br

As you know, my wedding has been something I've dreamt of for many years. (Husband) and I have invested a lot of money into the video and photos of this day and as we reflect on this day in the further we want to see our vision reflected in the memories.

    Font - This was three days before the wedding. I immediately sent her and her husband an invoice asking them to reimburse for the dresses and shoes. Keeping in mind that one of the dresses is still in her possession even though I paid for it. Neither of them replied and so I decided to take it the court. I was told I was inconsistent and selfish after I spent the past two weeks helping her plan the wedding shower, I worked with another bridesmaid to surprise her with a bridal shower after our ba

What a horrible, heartless friend she is. You've done your absolute best to be involved with her wedding/ bridal shower, and helping her so much in addition to paying hundreds for your dresses etc. and she kicks you out because of your hair? For which you have an extremely valid reason for cutting! And even if you di

    Font - NTA. Hopefully you end the friendship with her. I agree with trying to get your money back for something so trivial as a hair cut due to a medical condition, something you don't have full control over. She worded that letter as if she was a CEO of some conglomerate. Have you spoken to a lawyer about this yet? |+ G Reply 64 3

    Font - UnsubProxy · 4d NTA. Her response to unceremoniously kick you out of her wedding party in response to your health issues is just nuts. (Wigs! Wigs are a thing! Not that you should have agreed to wear one, OP, but it's an example option that could have been explored should she have attempted a civil conversation about how to manage her vision while respecting your health needs.) $700 isn't a small amount of money. If it's not going to cost you more than that in terms of funds or relationsh

    Font - Nta She shamed you for being ill (sorry if I use that word incorrectly, I don't know how else to word it) and is acting like an entitled inconsiderate toddler. Taking bridezillas to a whole new extreme. Get your money back and cut your loses. Don't let anyone make you feel as if you're in the wrong!! G Reply 4 117 3 ...

    Font - GFdesserts • 4d NTA. People are not props. A person who is either too stupid or too selfish to understand the difference between a health condition you can't control and a personal attack is not emotionally mature or healthy enough to be getting married. Im glad you're getting distance from train wreck. I hope your health improves! G Reply 4 40 3

    Font - OhioGirl22 · 4d Keep every single text and email you sent to her regarding the wedding and her expectations. All that writing is admissible in court and could be considered a contract because they are requests that she has made and you had followed. Make a timeline of events and how you met every milestone she requested. Good Luck with this. G Reply 4 23 3 ...
