A bride-to-be who seems to be more concerned about Insta-worthy wedding photos than anything else has hurt one of her bridesmaids with her shallowness. The bridesmaid is her cousin, who was in a serious accident years ago and still has some large scars on her arms and she’s worked hard to overcome being self-conscious about them. But while she’s finally fine with her appearance, the bride has revealed she’snotand flipped out over the thought of her arms showing in her wedding pictures.
In a post to Reddit’s “Am I the a-hole” section,” the cousin explains how the bride became a bridezilla and hurt her feelings. First, she showed her a sleeveless dress all bridesmaids would be wearing, but later she made up some excuse about another bridesmaid ruining her dress and them being the same size, so she basically asked her cousin to give up her dress and spot as bridesmaid for her friend. Then she asked to see the dress her cousin would be wearing and rudely asked “Don’t any of them have sleeves?”
At this point, the cousin says she “burst into tears” and felt hurt and angry, but it gets worse! The bride went on and on about how bad her cousin’s arms would look in her high-def photos. “I don’t want your arms in my pictures,” the bridezilla whined to her. “They’re just so ugly! Even if you’re not a bridesmaid, you’ll still be in them.” By then, the cousin says she found her voice and explained she’d come to terms with her body and didn’t want to hide it. She told the bride if it was a deal breaker, she would skip the wedding. Since then, she’s gotten texts and messages from the bride, her fiancé and their friends...calling her selfish!
She asked Reddit if she’s wrong for refusing to cover her arms and (thankfully) everyone had her back. Many commented to tell her she shouldn’t go to the wedding and some assure her it’s not her arms that are ugly, but the bride’s behavior is. And PS? Out of the 700+ comments,no one said she was out of line.
