To feel totally betrayed by my Maid of Honour

Have name changed for this because don't want this linked to me in real life.

Wedding situation that I don't know how to handle at all.

Firstly would like to start with saying I got married on Saturday & had the most amazing day. My husband & I felt so lucky, we had so much fun & our friends & family were great so we aren't going to let this situation take away from that but we aren't sure how to handle the situation going forward either.

So here's my AIBU to feel completely let down & hurt by my MOH.

She was distant the whole day, didn't have formal photos with her because I couldn't find her, she didn't dance with me, she didn't chat to any other guests, she wore the same shoes as me, didn't pick any of the ones I'd suggested - now all these things were annoying but I could cope however the two bigger things are

  1. Her & her partner left really early
  2. They snuck up to the bridal suite & had sex during the reception - not in the bedroom thankfully but in another part of the suite.

It's left a horrible feeling about our friendship & I feel like she's acted completely inappropriately. Neither her or her partner drink, so no blaming alcohol for her behaviour.

I feel so blessed to have had an amazing day & I'm excited to spend a life with my husband. Off on our honeymoon shortly & just wanted to vent about this first so I don't think about it at all going forward.

She hasn't been in touch with me since the day, didn't speak to my husband at all on the day, so my current plan is to just not contact her at all & see how I feel when she next messages me. Not sure if that's right or not.

Were you Bridezilla?

Oh @FromMissToMrs there's got to be some back story - is she peeved, rightly or wrongly, about something that happened previously? Her behaviour sounds utterly shitty, and the s*x part is downright disgusting - almost like a dog revenge marking it's territory. I don't know if I could go on with a friendship after that, though might want to ask 'what the absolute hell?'.
Congratulations on your marriage though. ❤️💐❤️

I dread to ask but how do you know this?

Wow. Have any of the other bridesmaids said anything?

how do you know about them going up to your suite and how did they get into it?

if all this is as you have described, then the friendship is over, of course. I would want to know why but you might never find out.
