We love a good bridezilla story. Weddings just seem to bring out the worst in people sometimes, and a bride who is overstrung and stressed out can quickly become a bridezilla. Every bride wants to be the most beautiful person in the room, and things can get difficult if, say, their makeup artist cancels the day of. At least she still has the wedding dress? In this Am I The A$$hole post, this bride blows up OP, her bridesmaid, for having a full face of professional makeup done when hers will have to be done by herself because of an issue with the makeup artist. Is it fair of the bride to ask OP to have her makeup taken off when she paid to get it done? Would OP be outshining the bride if she doesn't take her makeup off? Read below for more context here and let us know what you think.

    Font - r/AmItheAsshole Posted by u/Aware Friendship7004 9 hours ago AITA for refusing to wipe off my makeup at my friends wedding? A For context, I (19f) was invited to my friend (23f)s wedding and was asked to be a bridesmaid. We paid for our own dresses, robes, shoes, etc. Before the wedding I had told her that I was going to have someone else do my makeup instead of the people that she has planned because I was scared that the person she hired was inexperienced with darker skin and curly hair

    Font - The bride then came to me and asked why I didn't want to wipe mine off and I told her the same thing. I asked her if she would like me to call my artist,(who charges way less and was willing to come) and she said no. I called her anyways and offered to pay for her makeup as a present. The bride got her makeup done and she loved it. She continued to say it still wasn't fair that I was the only bridesmaid with professional makeup and I should pay for the others makeup as well or wipe mine o

    Font - ProgressiveWNY. 9 hr. ago 100% NTA- anyone who would go to the lengths that she did and even cut you out and not tag you in the photos is no longer worth your time and energy ever again. The AUDACITY she has to ask you to pay for the other bridesmaids' makeup is unconscionable. Run... far. Don't look back. ↑ 6.4k Reply Share Report Save Follow

    Font - sucksatchess666 Asshole Aficionado [10] You were sensible about the wedding and picked a make-up artist you trusted. You communicated all of this in advance. You offered to help everyone else get made up and they refused despite getting a refund. For your efforts you were excluded from the pictures and treated like crap. 9 hr. ago I'm sorry, but this person is not your friend and is a major asshole. Please explore other friend groups who are more mature and respect you. ΝΤΑ 879 Reply Shar

    Font - captainwelcome. 9 hr. ago The bride sucks for asking YOU to pay for other peoples makeup. What?? The other bridesmaids could have paid to get their own makeup done or the bride could have paid too, especially since they already got their money back. They sound stingy and delusional. They sound like evil stepsisters! Reply Share 105

    Font - ChocolateCovered Gold 9 hr. ago I'm not sure why you apologized to someone so unkind. You definitely don't owe her an apology. She and the other bridesmaids show a sense of entitlement that is off the chart. I'm so sorry for how this situation has hurt you. Their behavior is inexplicably childish. You sound like you're the only adult in the bunch. But I know that even if you dismiss them from your mind for acting like middle schoolers, that doesn't help the awful, creeping, stomach-sicken

    Font - IzBlueGirl 9 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA - - so the other bridesmaids got their original money back but didn't want to pay your artist? Sounds like they are the AHs, not you. Especially since you gifted a makeup session to the bride. Those people aren't your friends. 41 Reply Share

    Font - ArtShapiro 9 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [9] ΝΤΑ Even giving some leeway for the stress of the wedding day, which apparently can turn normal people into raging maniacal bridezillas, her request and subsequent actions were absurd. I hope she wasn't a really close friend, because your only logical recourse, after being cropped out of all the photos, is to crop her out of your life. Reply Share 28

    Font - Sea-Tea-4130 9 hr. ago edited 8 hr. ago Asshole Aficionado [16] NTA- Not only did you get your hair and makeup done, but you went out of your way to get your makeup artist to help her. That's a big one considering she made the poor choice of choosing someone who was inexperienced. When the one who complained pulled that whiny stunt, your friend should have put her in her place and she should have asked your makeup person if they would do the others' makeup if they were in agreement.
