When it comes to planning a wedding, there are a fair few decisions to make: guest list, dress type, seating plan, traditional wedding cake or cake of cheese...? We know that the big day is a momentous occasion for the majority of brides-to-be and certain ‘demands’ will be catered for, however this seems like one request too far.
Reddit user electricandlive took to the social sharing site seeking advice after her sister-in-law, and bride-to-be, asked her to wear a bridesmaid dress (wait for it…) even though she’s not ACTUALLY going to be a bridesmaid. To clarify, electricandlive has not been asked to be a bridesmaid at her sister-in-laws wedding, but she has been requested to wear a bridesmaid dress.
Appealing to the users of Reddit for help, the potential pseudo –bridesmaid explained that this request would make her appear as though she didn’t make the bridesmaid cut, and would instead look as ‘consolation they're letting me wear the dress’. Yes, we can see where she is coming from.
