Being chosen as the maid of honor is not a task for the weak. You're not only a part of the endless wedding planning and decision-making, but also essentially making sure that the bride is as happy as can be. In this wedding tale, the maid of honorgets blindsided by the bride's family and the bride herself. When tasked with planning a group dance for the engagement party, the bride's sisters are anything but cooperative. They decide that they have other plans and completely leave her out of the loop, making up their own dance and making the maid of honor look bad. The bride takes it upon herself to ditch her maid of honor and side with her sisters. But it's safe to say that our maid of honor dodged a bullet being left out of this ceremony. Is it really a wedding if there isn't any drama?

    Went from bridesmaid to no invite to the wedding

    Nearly 6 years ago, my lifelong best friend asked me to be her maid of honour. She asked us at a restaurant and asked us to do a group dance at her engagement party first!

    I made a group chat with the bridesmaids and tried to arrange times to practice the dance. I offered my house as a place to practice. 3 people replied and her sisters never replied or they always said they were busy. We practiced a few times without the sisters at my house.

    I messaged the group chat again before the wedding and said we need to finalize this dance or we won't be able to do it. Sisters still didn't reply and never attended our practice sessions.

    2 days before the engagement party I message again and said if you guys aren't available we should skip the dance so we don't embarrass her since we never practiced with everyone and the

    So I go down to the brides room later, and the bride goes im so mad at you. I ask why?? She's like I heard you never went to the rehearsals and said "I don't want to do the dance"..

    out with her since so she won't be inviting me to her wedding. Also she added that since I didn't invite her to my brothers engagement party, I shouldn't be offended my brother never had an engagement party. Just proposed to his gf and my mom aunts and uncles had a family ... dinner for them.

  • I do wonder what the hidden beef was between these sisters and the excommunicated maid of honor. Jealousy? Hidden secrets from the past? It seems much deeper than simply not liking her personality. Either way, this might have been a blessing in disguise for our maid of honor, who got unanimous support from the commenters of Reddit.

    thicwith2cs Wow the sisters must have had some unknown problem with you. I would have sent your friend screenshots of the group chat where the sisters didn't respond, then blocked her. She didn't deserve your friendship.

    PsychologicalWill88 OP That's what I assumed. Have no idea what was their problem. The sisters are much younger than us. I was 24 at the time and her sisters were 18 and 20!
