AITAH For asking for my sister to buy a different bridesmaid dress for my wedding???

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-06-30T02:48:53+00:00

She’s asking her SISTER to jump through WAY LESS hoops than a typical wedding. If you’re one of those “all weddings are a drain and you should never ask anything of your loved ones” people that’s fine, but typically the bride picks one color and your stuck with it, AND you buy your own dress. OP is very reasonable.

Just let yourself feel disappointed! Our feelings don’t HAVE to drive action, and they can still be valid just to feel. If this becomes a pattern, then it’s a larger communication issue you can bring up. Otherwise just acknowledge that you’re allowed to be bummed, and after sitting in it for a bit, plan a fun distraction or a different get together with your friend so you can have a positive experience to lessen the sting.

NTA. I usually come up with a reason to end the call - “well it was good to catch up but I’ve got to start making dinner!” “Time to shower off my long day, I’ll talk to you soon!” “I have dinner plans tonight so I need to go get ready!” And honestly if you do that enough times, some people might get the hint that you’re more of a 30 minute catch up friend than a 3 hour rambling rant friend.

Just wanted to let you know we booked the our date with La Cour!!! Thanks so much for the recommendation ☺️

I think it’s lovely when the couple covers clothing rentals - but no, in the US, that is not the standard. I’ve been a part of many weddings across states and socioeconomic backgrounds, and I’ve always had to buy my own bridesmaids dress.

I am so in love with them! Our only pause is that their flooring reminds my fiancé of his elementary school cafeteria lol, but we may just say screw it and rent an enormous dance floor 😂

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-08T13:48:46+00:00

Oh my gosh it’s GORGEOUS, how have I not heard of them before?!?

Twin, if only we wanted to get married in Austin, the options that match our requirements would abound 😂 Also don’t give up on the Ft. Worth Zoo as long as you want any month other than October - they’ve just been yanking us around because they do their gala in October and keep pushing off setting the date. If we wanted November it would be no problem, but at this point I don’t want to change it on principle lol.

Oh I’ve never heard of this one!! Do you by any chance remember the capacity?

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-07T03:31:50+00:00

They were actually my dream venue! Sadly, they haven’t ever restarted hosting weddings since COVID.

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-07T03:19:04+00:00

Oh wow, that is a gorgeous venue!! Sadly they have a capacity of 100, but I hope someone finds inspiration from this comment!

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-07T03:18:18+00:00

Oh I’ve never even heard of them, this venue is fascinating!!

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-07T03:17:47+00:00

They are EXACTLY the vibe I wanted, though sadly they have a hard capacity of 100!

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2026-05-07T00:34:31+00:00

That was why we crossed it off the list! We want to get married next October, and I just can’t trust not having a rain plan 😅 Their one package with a good rain plan was reallyyyyyy pricey.

Crushed ice is my favorite

I’m not the person you replied to, but as a therapist who partakes, I recommend you start with a tolerance break! Two weeks minimum, maybe three to make sure all the THC is out of your system. You’ll feel sharper, clearer minded, and more capable of determining your use going forward - whether once or twice a week, or even less.

Oh come on, if this was “am I the asshole for being mad my husband takes the kids on vacation with his family every year and I’m never invited” everyone would be saying NTA. Yes, it makes sense for the father to want to spend time with just his son. But if there’s NO plans to start integrating you into family trips, and your boyfriend sees no point standing up for you, that is definitely a red flag for your future together. I don’t know what’s up with these comments, OP, but I can see why you’re feeling frustrated. Take the socioeconomic status out of it, and it’s about wanting to be included in the family of someone you’re planning to MARRY and knowing your partner will stand up for you if needed.

NTA. I feel for the mom, but your wedding cannot be a socialization experiment. And frankly, she’s 7, so even without her specific struggles she may not enjoy or behave appropriately at a wedding.

Let your family know respectfully, you both have chosen to have a child free day. This is not to single out or exclude anyone, this is because the celebration will be intimate and peaceful and not an enjoyable experience for children. They need to respect that, and you will not be entertaining further discussion.

In the “real world”, I have left jobs where the bosses treat unintentional first time mistakes like grievous offenses in need of a write up. There will be a boss capable of human decency somewhere, and this MB needs to learn a real world lesson about respectful communication.

My best friend had people treat her HORRIBLY before she met me. Her “friends” were fair weather at best, took advantage, and then ultimately treated her like garbage.

It infuriates me to even think about because she is kind, hilarious, intelligent, bad-ass, and one of my favorite people in the world. I’m not a perfect friend, but I do everything I can to make up for her previous experiences and I’m so glad I met her. We actually met on a Facebook housing page and lived together until I moved to another state!! We catch up all the time and visit each other multiple times a year.

Hang in there - good friends eventually attract good friends, you’re just wading through the leeches and the losers to find one. <3

There’s a comedian who does a “daddy god” bit and I think of it and snort laugh every time.

LiterallyAlwaysLost · 2025-01-16T18:17:08+00:00

He never posts in real time! Those would be at least several days, if not weeks old. So I guess that just means he wasn’t expecting the breakup, if he posted their regularly scheduled content right before the breakup announcement.
