50. Lies On Lies
The bride had 2 weddings. Pretty different financial backgrounds between us and I was a friend of the groom who became a friend during their engagement. She had one wedding in the local state where she grew up and one destination wedding a month later.
She couldn’t decide which dress to get, so she bought three. I was the maid of honor at the local event and was supposed to be at the destination wedding. I had to overdraw my bank account to attend and cover expenses so I was really a bit in awe at all the extravagances.
It was a 3-hour ceremony with 2 venue changes “I want what I want!” and “It’s my day!” “I gave people for that!” Still ringing in my ears just thinking of it. She spent 60k in credit card debt on her perfect day(s) which she told me the day before she had not informed the groom.
The best part was when she was in her second wedding dress change, she started to scream about how things weren’t exactly what she wanted. Standing there half-dressed and drunk yelling about how the cake wasn’t perfect. (3k cake that was transported from another state was slightly smushed on the back side from hours of travel)
The whole bridal party was just standing there in the hallway waiting to take pictures again so I told her to shut up, said I wasn’t going to come to the wedding in Ireland, reminded her that her hundreds of guests could hear her drunk ass, and fixed her bustle. She was such a little tantrum-throwing jerk.
At the end of the Irish dancing groups, the toasts, and her wedding dance (that was choreographed) her PAID wedding planner offered to give me cocaine for putting up with such a spoiled jerk. The lady did it loudly in front the an aunt who later told the bride.
Yeah, it sucked. She is a great girl too, just a terrible bride and drunk.
