This woman was lured by her sister-in-law into a bridesmaid role with promises that it would strengthen their bond and help them get to know each other better.
The casual modest bride-to-be made it sound like a no-big-deal, laid-back affair. But the fine print in this casual obligation red roughly $2,000 in bridezilla tax. It's the ultimate bait-and-switch: sell you on relaxed bonding, charge you for a high-end wedding experience.

It’s just selective transparency really. “Oh, it’ll be fun!” “We’ll get closer!”
They just don’t mention the price tag hanging off this so-called bonding experience. Four-day destination bachelorette? You’re paying. Bride’s share of the Airbnb? You’re chipping in. Professional hair and makeup that you didn’t ask for but absolutely can’t skip? That bill’s yours too

Bride lures sister-in-law into a $2,000 “bridesmaid bonding” experience that includes destination bachelorette parties and mandatory beauty treatments: ‘This whole process made me see her in a different light’
Who doesn't love a classic bait-and-switch? You're promised a chill, no-pressure hangout, only to find out the real plan involves draining your bank account and signing away your dignity. Think of it like running into an old friend who chirps, "Let's do lunch!"—and then you show up to a 12-course tasting menu with paired wines at the very reasonable price of $399.99. Surprise! You thought lunch meant salads; they meant financing their Michelin-star midlife crisis.
This bridesmaid saga has exactly the same energy. Sister-in-law floats the idea of bonding like it's a breezy coffee date. Casual, my foot—this is the financial equivalent of agreeing to water a plant and being handed custody of a rainforest.
