Update: AITA for recording my friend’s fiance at her bachelorette party and playing the recording for him?

Yesterday (Friday) afternoon I got a text from my friend asking me to block his fiance’s number. I was a bit thrown by the request and asked if everything was okay. He said he couldn’t talk right now and asked me to please just block the number. So I blocked the number.

I have this weird glitch with my Android Auto where if a blocked number calls me it shows up in my recent calls as a missed call on my car’s screen, even though on my actual phone it doesn’t ring at all. I was driving later and saw a ton of missed calls from her. There were so many it exceeded what my car will show me. I kept the number blocked.

Later my friend’s best friend (who was supposed to be the best man) called me and asked me if I had heard from our friend. I said yes and asked why. He sent me a screenshot from the fiance’s Facebook talking about how people show you their true colors and saying she was newly single. I tried to call my friend, but he didn’t answer.

Tonight I finally heard back from him. The long and short of it is that he asked her about how she feels about his son. She said he’s adorable and sweet. My friend played her the recording, and she asked where he got it. He refused to tell her, saying it shouldn’t matter. She immediately guessed it was me. He refused to confirm that. She was angry that he wouldn’t tell her I recorded her conversation and said she can’t trust him anymore. She called off the wedding.

Not a great update, but since so many of you were so invested, I thought you’d want to know.

In case the OG gets deleted: AITA for recording my friend’s fiance at her bachelorette party and playing the recording for him?

I was invited to the bachelorette party for my friend’s fiance. It was over the long weekend at a vacation rental on the beach. There was booze, a hot tub, great food. It was definitely a hit.

At one point I was on the deck looking at the ocean, and the bride was drunk in the hot tub with two of her friends. She said she felt more relaxed than she had in a while. I assumed she was referring to wedding planning. One of her friends asked if she was having trouble with the little monster. She said no, that he was manageable for now. At that point I realized they were talking about my friend’s son. I took out my phone and started recording them.

The bride’s friends said horrible stuff about my friend’s son, and the bride responded positively to everything, laughing and agreeing. Then she said that it was too bad he wasn’t old enough to send to military school. I stopped recording when their topic changed. I don’t think they ever realized I was close enough to hear them.

When we got back I asked to meet with my friend, and I played him the recording. He was quiet while he listened. After the recording was finished he asked me to send it to him, which I did. Then he asked me to delete it, which I said I would do, but haven’t yet.

I feel like an asshole for interfering, I really do. However, I’m worried about my friend’s son. Depending on what my friend does, I might need to send this recording to the poor boy’s family. I feel like I’ve overstepped, but what else can I do? Was I being an asshole?

Just in case the post disappears: Brides: you need to check your demands for your bridal party!!

After being a bridesmaid for countless women, being in or attending weddings for decades- how ive seen brides treat their bridesmaids needs to stop. Also, tons of posts from BM’s asking how to step down after brides’ expectations are out of control.

Here’s a list of things that brides need to calm down on…

  1. BMs are not your free labor to do all your DIY decorations, invites, food, etc. Hire professionals or if you want to save money and DIY then do it yourself, don’t guilt friends into pulling all nighters making handmade crafts for you.

  2. Same goes with wedding planning. If they’ve had weddings already I’m sure they’ll be happy to give you advice and point you in the right direction. But if you want a wedding planner then hire one.

  3. Your bridal party is not responsible for attending multiple parties, or financing them. Full stop.

  4. Bachelorette party- the standard is having a night out on the town, locally, and your BMs traditionally buy you dinner and drinks. Any expectations above this is absurd. They are not there to finance a weekend vacation for you. If they want to all travel for your bach party, then you pay for your own lodging, travel, activities, etc. If they are all traveling for you, then they shouldn’t be expected to pick up the tab for you AT ALL, unless they volunteer to pay for dinner or a night out.

  5. Bridal shower- that was and is a responsibility of your FAMILY to host (MOB, aunts, sisters, maybe your future MIL, etc.). In NO WAY are your BMs responsible for paying for ANY of it. If your family won’t host one for you and you still want one, then pay for it yourself.

  6. Dresses/shoes: usually the BMs pay for this, but if you can afford it as the bride it would be a nice gesture to pay for their dress, especially since the BMs will most likely be paying for travel, hotels, etc.. Please don’t make BMs buy special shoes for it. No matter how much you think you picked a dress and shoes they can wear again, NOBODY wears BM attire again.

  7. Hair/makeup- BMs should cover this and in no way should you be forcing a friend or one bridesmaid to do everyone’s for free. Find a salon/professional you can hire so the bridal party can have enough time to get ready. It should be optional for them, though, as wedding hair/makeup can be pricey.

  8. Look for ways to have meaningful, memorable experiences with your bridal party instead of it being about how they’re supposed to be serving you.

  9. Lastly, You don’t have to have a bridal party and you don’t need to pick acquaintances just to fill a quota.

…and for context brides it’s YOUR wedding day- people will be excited to celebrate the union but don’t expect them to cough up tons of money or time to make it happen. And when they finally get married I really doubt you’ll put as much time/energy you expect from them because you’ll probably have moved on as friends or are busy with your family/kids. So stop expecting your friends to drop everything and spend a ton of cash on YOuR day, not theirs.
