I’m a bridesmaid & I asked the bride to stop one annoying thing weeks before the wedding – her response left me stunned
A BRIDESMAID has shared a request that she made of the bride and the shocking reaction she got weeks before the wedding.
The frustrated friend took to Reddit to explain how she called the bride out for being slow to book things and leaving mundane tasks for the bridal party.

“She seems to be ending friendships over this,” the user posted on the infamous AITA channel, where people seek advice on life and conflicts.
The user wrote that her friend of 15 years, Jan, got engaged last spring.
The Redditor threw her an engagement party, and even started a text thread for herself, Jan, and another bridesmaid Sarah to help her plan the wedding, agreeing to touch base once per week.
Since then, Jan’s wedding chats have far exceeded the allocated time, the user claims.

“It’s taken over every conversation, and we feel as if we’d like to talk about things going on in our lives too,” the bridesmaid said.
“Sarah doesn’t like weddings and was happy to have space once a week, but with it spilling over, tells Jan that she does not want to talk about the wedding anymore, and needs more of a give and take in their friendship.”
The Redditor said she doesn’t mind talking about the wedding with Jan, as their conversations “flow better” that way, and noted that Sarah and Jan were “working” on the friendship.
It was when the user visited Jan, who lives 1,000 miles away, that things spilled over.

“I visit Jan for my birthday for a week and find that she has booked nothing except the venue and an event planner, which she isn’t utilizing,” she wrote.
“Her wedding is now in 8 months and she wants 150 people there (big event!)
“I also have control issues (ie it gives me anxiety to watch people fail/not do something myself when I could fix it) when it comes to these sorts of things, so I tell her repeatedly that she needs to start looking at vendors if not booking them right out.”
She said that she told Jen that if the pestering became too much, to communicate with her, so she could stop.
The bridesmaid explained how she helped make Jan’s wedding website and an invitation insert while Jan went to appointments.
The bride also had her bridal party stuff envelopes that night.
“While we stuff envelopes later, she just watches all of us doing it while on the phone with her mother and saying how happy she is that it’s getting done.”
Then the story took another turn, when Jan started texting the Redditor things like “can you pick up this for the wedding?”
“I have a chat with her and say that I’m happy to talk and help her plan, but I do not want to do it for her and don’t want to feel as if I’m bullying her into booking vendors,” she wrote.
She went on to tell the bride that if there is no action behind all the talk about the wedding, then it’s not productive and she’d like less of it.
“She acts off for the rest of the trip. Almost a month and a half later, she cannot talk on the phone and can’t seem to carry on a conversation,” the Redditor wrote.
She added in a comment: “If its too much she freezes and I think she froze very early in the process, but still wants to monopolize our time with the wedding while not doing anything for the wedding.”
“She seems to be ending friendships over this, I ask her fiancé if he can assist as when I try to talk to her, I can’t get through.”
Many people reassured the Redditor that she was not in the wrong.
One commenter told the user to wash her hands of the wedding and advise Jan to use an event planner.
“It’s not your responsibility to organize or plan this girls wedding. If she wants a wedding she can grow up and do the work herself,” one said.
“She seems too self-absorbed to recognise how her behaviour is coming across nor would she care. She wants all the attention but none of the effort,” said another.
Channel stores are officially the hottest new thing in streaming
YouTube is building a system that would allow users to subscribe to streaming services through the YouTube app, The Wall Street Journal reported, and could launch the so-called “channel store” as early as this fall. The Journal’s report didn’t say which services might be part of the store, only that YouTube has been talking with various entertainment companies.
A channel store makes perfect sense for YouTube, and it’s been a long time in the works: The Information reported on a similar plan way back in early 2020. More recently, the company has been signaling this is coming: “I think whether content is distributed in a bundle, or where over time we explore other ways of distributing it, I think YouTube can be a great partner there,”…

Funkmaster Flex‘s recent challenge to Fabolous to drop new music “spitting bars” was answered in earnest not once, but twice by the New York rapper.
To put the cherry on top, Fab even accompanied both new songs with visuals.
For the first, he hopped on a banging beat that samples 2005’s ‘1 Thing’ – the signature hit of R&B singer-songwriter Amerie.
