You would think a bride on their wedding day would just be getting dolled up and beaming with happiness since she's about to be united with the love of her life forever. However, anyone who has ever been a bride or has worked with a bride on her wedding day knows that she is anything but that. She is usually a ball of nerves, stress, and fear. Also excitement and happiness! but having a wedding is no easy task. So, many brides will hire a person that is called a "bridal attendant." This is a person hired to take care of the bride, help her get ready, and make sure all of the bridal party and VIP guest are set. So what happens when drama hits the fan? Well, the bride is already a ball of nerves, so it would be best for someone else to deal with it, right? Cue the bridal attendant.

One wedding professional used to work as a bridal attendant several years ago. She shares on story in particular fro over 20 years ago from when she was working as a bridal attendant. She said this was a secret she has kept since that day, but as fate would have it, she runs into that bride and she gets put on the spot. Turns out the bride found out about the secret many years after it went down at her wedding, and honestly, she was so thankful that she wasn't told of it at the time.

You see, for some insane and unknown reason, the step-sister thought it would be a good idea to steal the wedding dress on the day of the wedding to go out into the snowy weather and adventure down the block to get some coffee and donuts, even though they had a fully stoked snack table. The bridal attendant caught her as she returned and nearly fainted from shock. She could not believe that the step-sister would do such a thoughtless thing. She yelled at her to remove the dress immediately and right in the knick of time too, because the bride walked in right as she was rehanging the dress. She asked what was going on, and she played it cool, saying her step-sister was in the bathroom and she was just steaming the dress to get it ready. The bride bought it and carried on, but you better believe the bridal attendant tore the step-sister a new one. They said they would never mention the incident again.

21 year later, however, it turns out the truth was revealed and the bride was extremely grateful for being kept in the dark. Just goes to show you, your bridal attendant usually knows best. Hear the whole story for yourself below!
