My Maid of Honor Started Acting Like It Was Her Wedding Too!
Hello Everyone💗
I’m back again with another reaction-style blog post.
I’ll probably link it below if you want to read it. It was actually my first reaction-style post, so it was pretty short.
Anyway, today we’re stepping right into the bridesmaid territory.
And I feel like the next couple of reaction blog posts will still be in bride/bridesmaid, because there's always drama in that area.
.
.

But this particular story is about a bride and her maid of honor and yeah ...the whole situation is alot.
I broke everything down into little chunks/screenshots, and under each one I’ll basically be reacting and giving my commentary as we go along.
So yeah...let’s get into it.
1st Screenshot.
This might sound a bit unnecessary, but my heart goes out to brides who are so scared of being labeled a “bridezilla”.
Like, I understand.
We’ve all seen those stories online or heard things in real life about brides being “too much” or “difficult,” so naturally you don’t want to be that person.
But I don’t like how that label gets thrown around so casually, because it creates this pressure where you feel like you can’t even speak up for yourself ...especially when you’re planning something as stressful and emotionally draining as a wedding.
.

Anyways, lets continue.

Now this is the part where my jaw dropped.
In all my time talking about weddings, reading stories & being around this space ...I've never heard of a maid of honor trying to join a couple on their honeymoon😅.
That is not normal.
.

The honeymoon is for the couple.
That’s their time to rest, decompress, and just be together after everything.
So for someone to even suggest inserting themselves into that space ...it’s just wild.

Hmmm
4th Screenshot.
What is going through my mind as i'm reading this is for her to be this comfortable doing all that on her wedding day.
It honestly makes me feel like the bride has probably been letting her walk over her throughout most of their friendship.
Like no boundaries at all.

sighhh

This part actually confused me a bit because why was her family involved in it?

That's the thing when it comes to money.
Most people don’t give money with zero expectations attached.
The moment she volunteered to pay for everything, I already knew this was gonna become a “well since I paid…” situation.

I kinda see why the maid of honor felt entitled.
If she paid for everything, I understand why she thought she should invite people too.
BUT the bridal shower is still connected to the wedding so inviting random guests is messy.

Also making the bride be the one to uninvite them herself - people who i'm assuming she might not even know ...is crazy awkward.

Not gonna lie …her entering the house unannounced is giving very much unhinged behavior.
But from everything we’ve heard so far, this is honestly the least shocking part.

No, you didn’t overreact.
Your friend is low-key unhinged and has no concept of boundaries ... or what is normal for weddings, honeymoons, or even bridal shower.
I’m just really glad you (the bride) finally stood up for yourself.
To wrap it up...
If you’re a destination wedding bride and reading this, you just have to be really mindful of your guests.
Because it’s a beautiful idea, but it’s also a big financial ask ...and not everyone is going to be in a position to do that, even if they genuinely want to be there.
So don’t take it personally when people can’t come ...and don’t make them feel bad either.
.
.
.
If anything, just focus on the people who are able to show up, and find other ways to still include the ones who can’t.
