A bride-to-be has been slammed online for letting her best friend’s body shape stop her from being part of her bridal party.
After planning her dream wedding, the unnamed bride has decided that she would ask one of her closest friends to be her bridesmaid – simply because her boobs will too big for the style of dress they will be wearing.
“I’ve spent most of the last few weeks getting together with friends to do the whole “will you be my bridesmaid?” thing. The group consists of a mix of friends from work, college, and childhood,” she explained in a Reddit post.. “I have a couple of friends that I’ve had literally since grade school. Their names are Kristy and Erin. Kristy is my absolute best friend in the whole wide world, like the sister I never had. Erin and I aren’t as close as we once were, but that’s mostly just because we went to different universities and naturally grew apart a bit.”
She explained that the trip had managed to stay in regular contact over the years, meaning Erin is still a very close friend. And she explained that Erin was immediately standoffish when she realised she had not been inviting to be a bridesmaid.
“I asked Kristy about it later and she told me that Erin’s feelings were hurt and then asked me why I didn’t include Erin, and I told her the truth,” she added. “Erin has MASSIVE breasts. Literally bigger than should be physiologically possible because she has a hormone disorder that caused her breasts to grow to an excessive degree.
“We (as in Erin’s mom, doctor, Kristy, me, and just about everyone else important in Erin’s life) have been encouraging her to get a breast reduction surgery for years now, but she just won’t follow through with it because she’s terrified of surgery. That’s beside the point though. I originally planned on asking Erin to be a bridesmaid, but then I started thinking about the logistics of getting a bridesmaid dress tailored to fit her dimensions and how she won’t be capable of wearing a strapless dress because she can’t do strapless bras.”
She also noted that Erin “would need a dress with sleeves” and that meant the bride would “have to settle on a bridesmaid dress with sleeves for all the girls to wear in the heat of summer” or have “Erin have to be the only one wearing a different dress.”
“It stressed me out immensely, and I felt that it would be borderline impossible to find a resolution that wouldn’t somehow embarrass and/or ostracise Erin,” she explained. “And here’s the other issue that might be flirting with ‘Bridezilla’ territory. Part of me has a fear that Erin’s presence would be a distraction.
“When people think back on my wedding, I want them to think about how beautiful the venue was, or how nice the wedding party looked, or (dare I say) my fiance and I finally getting hitched! I don’t want people to remember my wedding for the bridesmaid with the giant boobs.”
