  • A bride and all of her bridesmaids helping her in their formal bridesmaid dresses
  • "AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events"

    I'm getting married this summer and I've been trying hard to be a "chill bride." My family and myself are doing most of the planning.
  • My cousin is letting us stay at her house in Antioch, TN, just outside in Nashville so we're saving money before the bachelorette party and another cousin has a
  • van and we're all driving down together so we just have to split the cost of gas. None of us are exactly swimming in cash and I wanted to keep costs down as much as
  • possible. I also told my bridesmaids, if there's anything about my wedding stressing you out, let me know. I'm the only one that should be stressing and before this little
  • scenario, I was feeling pretty good. Anyway, I found these perfect cocktail dresses at Anthropologie, inclusive sizing, great
  • color and the holy Grail they were on sale. I made a deal with the bridesmaids. I buy the dresses if they covered any necessary alterations, everyone was happy. I gave
  • everyone their dresses. Everyone looks fabulous and we're all happy, who said planning a wedding was hard?
  • Enter Roxy: back in December I saw a photo of Roxy at her work Christmas party wearing the bridesmaids dress. I'll admit it bugged me. I
  • wanted the big reveal at the wedding to feel special not like a rerun of an HR office mixer, but I bit my tongue because none of our mutual friends were there so I'm not going
  • to stress myself out about something I felt like was kind of petty. The problem is we have a mutual friend getting married in June, one month before my wedding. A
  • lot of my wedding guests will be at this wedding, and when I asked Roxy what she was wearing she casually said "Oh I'm just wearing the bridesmaids dress
  • from your wedding. I look hot in it and it's my favorite." I paused. I told her I didn't want her wear the bridesmaid uniform as a guest to a wedding filled with our mutual
  • friends right before my big day Well, now Roxy thinks I'm being a bridezilla. She pointed out that I did say I wanted them to have a dress that
  • Bride in her dress and veil looking upset at something or someone
  • they could wear again ( I meant after the wedding obviously) she then dropped the bombshell that she's already worn it to several events. I might've snapped. I
  • told her that since bought the dress, I didn't want her to wear it again until after my wedding she hit back in that since she paid for the alterations, she's invested just as
  • much money into the dress as I did which thanks to the sale might actually be true. My other bridesmaids are on my side, but Roxy thinks I'm overreacting because
  • it's just a dress. Am I the a hole for wanting the first time our friend group sees her in the dress to be when she's standing at the altar with me.
  • Comeback_321 Yeah it should be worn first at the wedding. Not anywhere else. Even with cleaning the color could change from the other bridesmaids. Afterwards she can do whatever she wants. Roxy is the AH. I thought these things were known and normal? The fact that she so quickly called the bride a bridezilla is telling about how selfish Roxy is. TBH I would uninvite her. OP doesn't need that energy at her wedding and if she told her to just be a guest she would show up in the dress. OP bought th
  • badedum I was all prepared to say Y T A from the title, but given it's before your wedding I think you're NTA. It just feels weird to me that your friend is treating it as an ordinary dress when she hasn't even worn it to the occasion it was purchased for. insomnia1144 Right?! Who repurposes the bridesmaid dress BEFORE the wedding?!
