A word to the wise…don’t wear white to a bachelorette party if you’re not the bachelorette!
I actually didn’t know that was a rule until I read this story from Reddit’s “Am I the *******?” page, but now that I do, I’m sharing this info with you…just in case…
Was this woman a jerk for what she did to her sister-in-law?
Get the whole story below.
AITA for not including my SIL in photos during my bachelorette party because she wore white?
“I’m getting married (yay!) and my brother “John” asked me to include his girlfriend Sarah as a bridesmaid as a way to get her involved with our family since he wants to propose soon.
She wasn’t crazy about Sarah coming along.
I wasn’t happy (she’s quite snobbish, almost in a comically villainous way. She once made fun of the fact that I get most of my groceries from the local big box super center and not somewhere with more “high quality product”).
But I love John and it mattered a lot to him, so I agreed.
On to the issue: on the final night of my bachelorette party, we decided to have one “big” meal that was really pricey and fancy that we all saved up for. Sarah said she had to take an emergency work meeting and for us to go ahead first (the restaurant was walkable from our hotel).
She was shocked when Sarah finally showed up.
Guys, when Sarah showed up, I was FLOORED. She came in a white sparkly sequin number with a tulle skirt and a tiara. When we were planning the trip, my MOH made it abundantly clear that everyone was supposed to wear pink so we could get a really cute photo together at the restaurant.
This was not good…
I’m not even kidding, her outfit was so bridal looking the waitress actually asked if we were having a joint bachelorette party. I was so upset, that when it came time to take photos I absolutely refused to have Sarah in them.
She said it wasn’t her fault because she “didn’t get the memo”, but I told her it was common sense to not wear a bridal looking dress to a bachelorette party if you’re not the bride! Plus, she was in the group chat and even made comments about another girl’s outfit when we were talking about what we wanted to wear, so I know she knew!
Her friends chose her side.
All of my friends were on my side and they made sure she didn’t end up in the photos. When we got home, she pitched a fit to my brother saying that we bullied her at my party and deliberately left her out. She was also mad because a lot of family and friends noticed she wasn’t in the photos and I wasn’t afraid to tell them exactly why.
And now her brother isn’t happy with her.
My brother’s really upset though because she’s been crying and whining about it nonstop since. Apparently they’re both so mad that they’re going to skip father’s day brunch, so the whole thing is blowing up even more.
I’m starting to feel bad because my mom told me that my brother and Sarah were fighting a lot now, so I’m not sure if I’m being the ******* here.
My brother called me a bridezilla, but I really feel like Sarah was trying to ruin my night.”
Here’s what people had to say.
This reader said she’s NTA and said this was all about jealousy.
Another reader came up with a plan she might want to implement.
This reader thinks they know what Sarah’s plan is.
Another Reddit user thinks she should have used this to her advantage.
And one person said Sarah sounds like she’s pretty insecure.
Ladies, did we learn a lesson today?
I sure hope so!
