Weddings should be fun and joyous affairs, but oftentimes that isn’t how it turns out. Sometimes, weddings can quickly become nightmares for both the guests and the bride and groom!
This particular story is from the perspective of the maid of honor, who has had enough of being treated like dirt and has taken matters into her own hands! This is her story.
A Reliable Friend
OP (the original poster) has always been a reliable friend. The one who would always be there when needed, the one who would go above and beyond for those she cared about.
And Kelly was one of those people. They had been friends for a while now, and when Kelly got engaged, OP was ecstatic for her.
She Was Excited for Her
Kelly and Randall had been living together for a while now. Kelly had been married once before and had children with her ex-husband.
Neither of them had a job, and they were living off the government’s support.
They had children with other people who were either grown or teenagers. And while the OP had some reservations about their lifestyle, she was still happy for Kelly.
The Wedding Planning Begins
After the holiday season in 2022, Kelly started planning her wedding. She was excited and eager to start the process, and OP was happy to help.
Kelly had a lot of questions, and OP did her best to answer them all.
But It Quickly Became a Lot
But soon enough, the questions became overwhelming. OP found herself essentially planning the wedding herself.
Ever the diligent friend, she managed to secure a minister and a church for the ceremony for free, since Kelly and Randall had no money. What a woman!
She Told Her About College
OP knew that she would be starting school in a couple of months, and she made sure to let Kelly know.
She was going to be busy with classes and assignments, but she still wanted to help.
And She Was Going Above and Beyond for Her Friend
In a good-faith effort to be nice to the couple, OP planned a small bridal shower. Kelly had no friends or family to invite, so the OP invited hers.
She had everything planned, and about 15 people were coming to the shower. Kelly only knew a couple of them, but they were acquaintances.
She’s Gone to Great Lengths
OP even planned her homework schedule around the shower, making sure to submit her assignments early so that she could be there for Kelly.
A Spanner in the Works
But then Kelly decided she needed a wedding cake and a reception, none of which they could afford.
Randall was receiving food stamps, and Kelly couldn’t eat anyway.
OP agreed to be Kelly’s matron of honor and had a new dress for the occasion.
And Soon It Was All Falling Apart
But then, a week later, everything fell apart. The pastor and Randall got together and decided to change the time of the wedding ceremony.
OP couldn’t make it to the new time, and Kelly started bawling.
Groomzilla Steps Up
That’s when Groomzilla Randall stepped in. He started criticizing OP, calling her names, and making it all about “their day.”
OP couldn’t take it anymore and stopped responding.
She Was Furious
OP was so frustrated and fed up with the situation, she decided to take some petty revenge on Groomzilla and Kelly.
She was upset that he was being so rude to her after all she had done, so in retaliation, she told him the bridal shower was canceled, and she took down their registry!
At Least She’ll Get Her Shower
But that wasn’t the end of it. The pastor’s wife, Kathy, decided to step in and offer to throw the bridal shower instead.
It was going to be on the same day, at the same time. But now, she had to spend an additional three hours driving back and forth to pick up and drop off the bride!
It Was All She Could Do
OP couldn’t help but feel a hint of smug satisfaction as she imagined the effort the pastor’s wife was going to have to go to.
She had put in so much effort, only to have it all thrown back in her face by a lazy groom!
A Nightmare Situation
The entire situation was a nightmare for OP. She had tried to be a good friend and help out as much as possible, but it seemed like Kelly and Randall were not willing to put in any effort.
She Feels Used
They were entitled and lazy, and they expected everyone else to do everything for them.
OP was frustrated and hurt by the way they had treated her, and she couldn’t help but feel like they had taken advantage of her.
Truly Petty Revenge
At least she managed to get some form of revenge, petty as it was!
Redditors enjoyed her story. One user said, “Why is she bothering with a shower if she doesn’t have any friends or family (who can attend?). Why plan a wedding with zero dollars in the bank?”
“Or God forbid the lazy groom try to get a job to pay for things? Or just have a ceremony and nothing else? Or wait until they can afford it??”
What do you think of this tale of petty revenge? Was deleting the registry a step too far?
