I pity the groom. We can only imagine what she expects of him.0

the least someone can do for a close friend on their wedding day is lose a little weight.
I hope you're trying to be funny.0 -
If she doesn't realize that the point of the wedding party is to pick people that will support your marriage and celebrate it and that it is not about how things look on the outside, she is immature, or shallow, and doesn't understand the true value of things. I would guess she will probably lose some friends and possibly get slapped. Which she would deserve.0

Wow. I wouldn't even want to be at person's wedding who is like that. Not to mention be in their bridal party.... Wow0

very shallow with very little regard for her friends feelings:noway:
THIS!!! WTH?!!?0 -
Absolutely ridiculous.0

I feel so sorry for the husband to be. (puts head in hands and shakes head)
Me too. Hopefully he'll get wise before it's too late.0 -

OP, I think your friend sounds horrible. You ask people to be in your bridal party because they are special to you and you want them to have a special role in your day. If I ever had a bride tell me that I needed to lose weight to be in her wedding party I would tell her to find someone else and then most likely stop being her friend all together. I hope your friend realizes that she is going to alienate her friends and wind up lonely.0 -
I agree that's horrible. It doesn't matter if you want your wedding to be perfect. Perfect would consist of all your family and friends together in one room and with nobody fighting.

I feel sorry for the man marrying her, unless he is as big a jerk as she is. Why would anyone want to be friends with someone that shallow and insensitive.0

Also, she didn't say her friend was overweight. She only asked if she would mind not being a bridesmaid after she found out she couldn't get the dresses she was getting.
So she was privileging having the clothes over having the person.
She should have just gotten married with a bunch of perfect bridesmaid dresses hanging on racks next to her.0 -
Then my cousin's SIL was HUGE with twins for my cousin's wedding and the only similar dress they could find was tea length while the rest of us wore full-length gowns with trains. The SIL was still welcome in the bridal party.
That's how it should be!
-signed, person who has no ambitions to get married so don't assume I'm saying this because I'm a bridezilla lol
As for the one that didn't come in the size, you'd never know the difference if I showed you photos.
The bride did pay for the material for the ones that her mother made, but that was basically our bridesmaids' gifts and while nice of her, not expected.0 -
I do not like the way this sounds. However, if I was getting married I would pick out what the brides maids, groom, groomsmen and myself wear. I would want them to look a certain way, so I can see wanting the bridal party to weigh a certain amount.0

what a b1tch.0

If you care that much about the looks of your bridal party and don't want chubby girls in your pictures then don't invite them to be bridesmaids. Just invite people who have the look you want already if it means that much to you. But asking someone to be in your wedding IF they drop to a certain weight/size is crappy.0

I'm sorry that you don't have any real friends whom you love.0 -
Ouch. That is in such poor taste. If they felt that strongly about another person's appearance i.e. weight they should have taken it into consideration before they asked said person to be in the wedding. Of course not having someone in your wedding because they are heavy is tacky as well. How shallow.0

Wow.... I am a bridesmaid in an upcoming wedding but thats not why I'm losing weight... my friend is so incredibly sweet that even though I am by far the largest of the party, she says we all have different body types any way and is having us all wear different dresses to suit our body types... she picked the color and the material but the style is up to us and what we feel best in. I think I would have to reconsider friendship if my friend told me I was too big to be in her wedding.
The bride in this wedding is one smart cookie. She knows that the same style doesn't look as nice on all body types. Bravo to her! You're lucky to be her friend. She's a true gem.0 -
That is one of the most shallow things I've ever heard0

You don't like the way it sounds, but you totally agree with it?
Marriage isn't a big game of dress-up. If you want to do that, have a costume party.0
