Bride shattered after bridesmaid breaks cardinal rule

A bride has been left absolutely devastated after her friend broke one of the biggest cardinal rules of being a bridesmaid.

Taking to Mumsnet to share her frustration, the bride-to-be revealed she had, after much difficulty, found the wedding dress of her dreams and decided to take her bridesmaid along for the final fitting.

But when she got home what she saw online left her completely shocked.

“After finishing the appointment and getting home I saw that she had posted a photo of me in the dress on Facebook (during the appointment so it had already been on an hour or two when I saw it),” she wrote.

“And tagged my partner in it saying she bets he couldn’t wait to marry me and how lovely my dress is.”

When she confronted her friend and asked her to take it down, her response was ‘it doesn’t matter if he’s seen it, he’s a man so he will have forgotten what it looks like in 5 minutes time’.

“I just don’t know what to do or how to feel! I am so gutted that it now won’t be a surprise to my partner or my dad,” she concluded.

People were understandably completely outraged by what had happened, slamming the bridesmaid for her actions, labelling her everything from a ‘cow’ to an ‘idiot’.

“She's a cow and should no longer be your bridesmaid,” one person responded.

“I would be furious! I'd be seriously considering if she would be coming to the wedding,” another agreed.

“You don’t share pictures of someone else’s wedding dress before the wedding,” was another response.

“She’s a massive b**ch or a complete idiot, I'd be furious and you are not unreasonable in the slightest,” one person wrote.

Others shared messages of the support for the bride.

“Don't worry, your dress will look different when your hair and makeup are done etc. Try not to let it spoil the day,” one person said.

“Your day will still be special though. I promise,” another added.
