Choosing your bridal party is one of the most meaningful decisions you'll make leading up to your wedding. These are the women who will stand beside you on one of the biggest days of your life and be forever captured in photos, memories, and stories. Most brides pick siblings, longtime family friends, childhood pals, college roommates, or soon-to-be sisters-in-law. Each person holds a special place in your heart, but the maid of honor is a particularly important choice. This is usually someone who's been through thick and thin with you. A bestie who's been a constant source of support, encouragement, and love. She's the one who helps calm your nerves, organizes the bachelorette party, and stands right beside you at the altar. So when you make that choice, you expect loyalty and kindness in return. But sometimes, even the closest relationships can take an unexpected turn.

     Things quickly turned bad as she started making shocking comments about the bride and her fiancé, sparking her family members to call her a cab and get her out ASAP.
