It turns out this bridezilla couldn't handle the truth. Look, while we admit that there were likely other ways the wedding planner/sister of the bride could have handled this situation, we can also agree that this bridezilla very much did this to herself. There should be a rule that if someone pushes and pushes and pushes for you to be as honest with them as possible, then they should be able to handle the truth. What you tell them shouldn't be held against you if the straight truth was what they wanted.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/planstowed, a wedding planner who normally refuses to work with friends and family but who was pressured into helping her sister out. Because of her job, the Redditor developed a strange gift: she was able to predict how long her clients would last in their respective marriages with a strangely strong accuracy rate. So what happened when the bride insisted that her sister give her an estimate? The planner at first did what any reasonable person would do and said "forever."

But the sister wasn't convinced. She kept on pushing until the planner blurted out the truth: a year and a half. That's when the sister lost it and the Redditor pulled out of the wedding. The only problem is that meant the bride lost the venue too, as the planner and the venue were a packaged deal. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more, check out these bad breakup stories.
