Woman wonders if she's wrong for letting her pregnancy news slip at friend's bridal shower: '[The bride] was upset that I announced my pregnancy at her bridal shower'

There are certain implied rules of engagement when it comes to celebrations, and it's generally expected that you'll let the person being celebrated have their moment and not do anything to steal their thunder by making major announcements of your own that are bound to generate buzz and get people talking about you.

Of course, this is notoriously hard for some people who can't bear to not be the center of attention, which is why we end up with so many of these stories of entitled friends and family making their own inappropriate and ill-timed announcements at weddings and the like. Some people weren't taught that they're not the center of the universe and it shows.

Still, though, are you in the wrong if the news getting out is not of your own doing? But rather, because you're playing a game of social dodgeball with a glass of champagne that's being forced upon you by another celebrant, you get caught in a white lie about why you're not partaking in the liquid festivities.

This woman earned the ire of the bride when news of her pregnancy leaked at the bridal shower. The thing is, it wasn't of her own doing but rather that of another friend who deciphered her happy secret and got the room buzzing with news that she had never intended to share. She took to this online community to see whether or not she was in the wrong and whether or not the bride was justified in her disappointment towards her.
