I’m a bridesmaid – the maid of honor had the most unhinged reaction to my bachelorette feedback, I’m still reeling
A BRIDESMAID says that her feedback on her friend’s bachelorette party itinerary was taken much worse than she could have expected.
The now ex-bridesmaid shared the unhinged text message she received from the maid of honor – before the bride herself took it a step further with an over-the-top reaction.
In a viral TikTok video, the ex-bridesmaid said she was supposed to travel to Charlotte, North Carolina for a bachelorette party earlier this month.
But ahead of the trip, she told the maid of honor that she had visited Charlotte before and she didn’t think that there would be enough time to do everything they were planning.
“Instead of her listening, she sent a 21-paragraph text about how if [I] were meant to have an opinion on the bachelorette party, [I] would have been the maid of honor and not just a bridesmaid,” the ex-bridesmaid said.
She posted a screenshot of some of the text message, in which the maid of honor urged her to look at things “with more of an understanding point of view.”

The maid of honor said that she and her co-maid of honor were taking their roles “seriously” and had been “slaving away behind the scenes for months” and were “staying firm on things.”
The situation got worse when the TikToker reached out to the bride to express concern about the rising cost of the trip.
She said she told her “how the trip was getting a little out of hand and very expensive,” costing more than she could afford.
Rather than be understanding, she said the bride “yelled” at her, kicked her out of the wedding, and blocked her on all forms of social media.

By that point, the ex-bridesmaid had already paid for a one-way flight to Charlotte and chipped in for the Airbnb, spending over $300.
She expected her flight home and the planned activities to cost an additional $400, plus more money for food and Uber rides.
“To me, with the way I was treated, $1,000 was too much to spend on a bach trip,” she said. “Especially considering the wedding cost.”
She had tried to tell the bride nicely, and was confused that her longtime friend appeared to want to end the friendship over it.
“I didn’t think that me being honest about not being comfortable spending $1,000 on a trip would be something to end a friendship that meant so much,” she told the bride before she was blocked.
But the bride was not having it.
“I have no words,” the bride wrote back. “I’ve honestly lost respect for you. You’ve made this whole thing about you.
“Money was never the issue until last night. Now it’s all you talk about. Thank you for showing me how much this friendship has meant to you,” she added sarcastically.
“I would appreciate if you did not come to my wedding,” she concluded. “Take care.”
Unfortunately, things got even worse when the ex-bridesmaid asked for $100 of her Airbnb costs back.
“You threw out our whole friendship when you prioritized your discomfort over my joy,” the bride wrote to her, adding that she would refund her because “I don’t want friends who value money over me.”
She went on to accuse the bridesmaid of ruining her wedding and bachelorette planning.

Despite all of that, the ex-bridesmaid still wishes her angry former friend the best.
“I wish the bride, the bridal party, the fiance nothing but a good time. No ill intentions here,” she said.
