She and her husband should have stopped trying to conceive until I'd had the wedding? She's just told me she'll have a bump at the ceremony!!!!!!!

I chose her and the other bridesmaid because they would make a matching pair behind me. (Sadly, have no identical twin friends.) Now they won't match. She will completely ruin my day. AIBU?

Corsets. Or new friends. How much money are you making her pay for the dress? Double it for your inconvinience hunni.

God what a selfish tw*nt. Ask your dh to impregnate the other bridesmaid.

pjmama · 31/12/2013 23:06

See if you can persuade the other one to get knocked up quick, then they'll still match.

What a selfish cow she is. Ask her if she'd be willing to wear a very tight corset for the day. Many Victorian mothers did this with only minimal damage to themselves and their unborn children. It's the least she can do.

RandyRudolf · 31/12/2013 23:07

How selfish of her. I suggest to ask a random fat person to stand in so they'll match.

WaffilyVersatile · 31/12/2013 23:07

Yeah the other posters are right. Get the other one knocked up ASAP

JingleJohnsJulie · 31/12/2013 23:08

Why have you been planning a wedding for 2 years? Did you really expect her to put her life on hold for you?

Ffs.

Mouldypineapple · 31/12/2013 23:08

Dump the other one and see if you can find a fat friend to stand in. Their tummies might match then..

shushmonster · 31/12/2013 23:09

Cut her out of your life completely !! Oh and if you can take all of her other friends with you. Bitch deserves this. Pfb my arse. Won't everybody think of your wedding. Hugz xxx

HaroldTheGoat · 31/12/2013 23:09

Some people are so selfish.

Maybe you could pad the other one out a bit and make a feature of them.

stardusty5 · 31/12/2013 23:09

So selfish. Totally toxic friend trying to take all of your limelight for herself.

Could the other bridesmaid gain weight to balance it?

MsAspreyDiamonds · 31/12/2013 23:10

Christmas is over so all the attention is now on weddings etc. The threads tonight are something else!

whattoWHO · 31/12/2013 23:10

Oh, she's been planning this all along! She's determined to upstage you, bet she gives birth during the first dance.

It's so ungrateful. I've bent over backwards to make them happy, even though it's my day. Originally they were going to wear these lovely strapless designs in peach, but they utterly refused to wear them.

I think impregnating the other bridesmaid is the best solution. They will be fat in the photos which will make you look even better.

ManualSpaniel · 31/12/2013 23:11

Can you not hide the bump behind a ridiculously oversized wedding dress?

HaroldTheGoat · 31/12/2013 23:11

Dress her like a big peach? You could dress the other one like a banana so she matches.

NO.

I feel so sorry for you....and angry on your behalf.

So selfish. Some people know no bounds.

HaroldTheGoat · 31/12/2013 23:15

That's lovely Jessie. To get the full effect I would make them sit atop two giant rolls of toilet paper.
