Marriage is sacred, weddings are sacred, but a woman's bachelorette party is dang near Biblical. For some reason, female friendships thrive on organized fun, getting WAY too drunk, and spilling secrets, so a bachelorette is kind of like the Holy Trinity of all of those things. Every woman wants to be the star of their own bach, but how far are bride's willing to go to be the center of attention?
One woman took this a little too far this last weekend when her childhood friend briefly stole the show with her childhood trauma. For context, the bachelorette was a multi-day affair over Easter weekend, that's a lot of time to be focusing on one person. But then, one of the bridesmaids found out some traumatic information about her childhood that got triggered over the course of the weekend. The bridesmaid learned that she had Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and suffered mental disabilities ever since being a kid because of her mother's drinking while she was in the womb.
So after bottling up this bad news for months, the bridesmaid was triggered by all of the drinking events happening over the course of the weekend and had a breakdown. While she was crying and upset about her alcoholic mother, the bride scoffed and pouted about not being the center of attention anymore. Pissed about her friend stealing the spotlight from her, days later, the bridezilla kicked her out of the wedding party and even contemplated uninviting her to the wedding– for fear that she might be "overshadowed" by her Debbie Downer friend.
If your friend did this, would you respond the same way? Redditors have a split opinion on whether or not the OP was the one to blame in this situation or not. Although it seems like if your childhood friend was desperately sad about childhood trauma, you wouldn't respond by kicking them out of your wedding. Yeesh.
