23. “I was asked to be a maid of honor for this girl I worked with. We used to be on the same team, but she moved departments so we didn’t see each other as much. I thought it was weird that she asked me, but I didn’t want to be rude so I said yes. I quickly realized I didn’t really know her very well. It was a short engagement, and she was constantly changing her mind.”
“She changed my dress five times, and tried to change it again at the last minute after I’d already paid for alterations. I bought her a wedding welcome sign from my friend that makes them, and the bride was totally in love with what I had picked out and showed her. Then, she went behind my back and asked my friend to change it, even though I was the one paying for it. The bride never told me, my friend told me, and when I called her out for it, she never apologized. Then, she asked me to give a speech at her wedding after I had told her I hated public speaking. Even the speech had rules — I couldn’t bring up the age difference (she’s 27 and her man is 22), and I couldn’t cuss. Finally, she asked me to pack her car with her stuff so they could leave for their honeymoon. I told her I couldn’t do that, because I had a baby I was bringing (he was only 6 months old), and I needed to breastfeed him and would have to leave somewhat early. She got pissed at that. Needless to say, her wedding was in December, and we haven’t spoken since.”
