Bridesmaid shamed for failing to lose weight for sister's wedding
A bridesmaid has vented her anger after her sister threatened to kick her out of her wedding party for not fitting in her dress.
The woman took to Reddit to ass ‘Am I The A******’, because she told her sister that she would do all she could to lose weight before her big day, but it’s one week from the wedding day and she’s ‘not close’ to fitting in the dress.
“So my sister has basically been the Kim Jong Un of brides and I am not sure how to proceed here,” she started the post.
“Part of me feels like I was asked to be a bridesmaid, I should remain a bridesmaid but part of me feels like I should tell her to kiss my crack and not even go.”
She went on to explain that they all did bridesmaid fittings back in September and she didn’t fit in her dress.
“I assumed it wouldn't be too hard to lose the weight. The dresses she chose were very cute but not fit for someone my size. She offered to get something a little more "size neutral" but I could tell she really liked the first pick so I said I would lose the weight (I've always wanted to anyways),” she continued.
“Well wedding is next weekend and I don't even come close to fitting in the dress. It can't even be altered to accommodate me. My sister is livid with me. I told her that I really did try but she says she doesn't believe me at all because she claims "it's physics, you eat less, you lose weight."”
The woman said the bride is ‘demanding’ she contact the designer of the bridesmaid dress and get him to create another one in her size.
“My solution is that I find as similar a dress as I can find but one that is appropriate and flattering to someone of my size. She says absolutely not, she would rather me not be in the wedding. This would really suck because the entire bridal party is our sisters so I think this is the sh******t thing she could ever say.”
People were divided with their opinions and some thought it was unacceptable that the bridesmaid had left it so late to tell the bride that she doesn’t fit in her dress.
“I don't think being a physically bigger person makes you an a-hole but not accepting it does,” one person said.
“You made a commitment, didn't hold up to it, and are making excuses. she's right that losing weight is physics. calories in minus calories out, you don't supercede thermodynamics. you are lazy and didn't stick to a diet and exercise,” another person said.
Others were more sympathetic of the bridesmaid, with one person said that they understand losing weight is hard work.
“You’ve made a promise that you couldn’t keep and now you and sister have to make last minute changes to accommodate something you said you’d take care off,” they continued.
