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.
A bridesmaid said that a bride is losing friendships as she plans her big day[/caption]
“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.
I’m a wedding guest – I did a 6-step selfcare routine the night before my friend’s ceremony – but people say I’m crazy
GETTING married can be stressful – there is a lot to get organized before the big day whether you are the bride or not.
However, even being a guest at a wedding was enough to get one woman psyched and organized before the big day with a six-step regime, but she was labeled crazy for being so prepared.
Miyaeva Renae was attending a wedding and wanted to make sure she looked her best.
So the night before she posted a video of herself indulging in a detailed self-care routine to help ensure she was glowing when she arrived.
That included looking after her hair, skin, and teeth.
Here are six of the steps Miyaeva took to prepare for her friend’s big day.

1. Scalp massage
Miyaeva treated herself to a scalp massage using a tool that both boosts scalp health and offers a relaxing experience.
A similar one can be found for about $9 at Ulta, which features a massager that is ideal for all hair types.
2. Charcoal Toothpaste
Miyaeva then focused on her smile, ensuring it would be radiant for all of the photos that would be taken.
She used a whitening activated charcoal toothpaste from Moon. It retails for about $8.50 on Amazon.

The product contains essential oils, coconut, cranberry, and tea tree and does not have parabens or artificial flavors.
She followed that up with Moon’s Stain Prevention Teeth Wipes which retail for about $12.99 for a pack of 10 on Amazon.
The same brand makes a similar tooth whitening pen in conjunction with Kendall Jenner.
3. LED Tooth Whitening Kit
The wedding guest then used an LED tooth whitening kit to continue brightening her teeth.
There are many of these available on the markets and we found some that range anywhere from $49 to $149.
The kits come with professional whitening gel and a powerful blue LED light that accelerates the whitening process to give you a brighter smile faster.
4. Eyelash Foam Cleanser
Next, Miyaeva took care of her eyelash extensions.
She cleaned them and brushed them using a kit that she purchased from Amazon.
The kit, which included a brush, a lash shampoo, and a cleanser, retails for about $16.10.
The product description says it offers a deep cleanse and nourishing ingredients.
5. Brow Razor
Miyaeva then moved on to her eyebrows to make sure they were in perfect shape.
She started by plucking away stray hairs using a pair of tweezers, before using an eyebrow razor to get rid of unsightly strays.
A similar razor to the one she used is available in a Tinkle 3-pack, also from Amazon retailing for a steal at $3.60.
6. Cleanse, Exfoliate and Tone
She then made sure to get her skin in good shape for the big day by using e.l.f. makeup remover wipes, listed at $3.20.
She also used a good exfoliator and toner to complete her regime.
Some TikTokers were confused thinking Miyaeva was the bride, due to how extensive her routine is, but she clarified in the comments that her best friend was the bride.
“girl u made it sound like it was UR wedding,” someone wrote.
“the skincare routine costs more then me,” another commented.
