A bride has sparked a debate after asking whether she had a right to be “annoyed” that her leading bridesmaid wasn’t losing weight for her wedding. The bride-to-be explained via Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable forum that she had taken her bridesmaids to buy matching dresses a year ago.
The ladies found a dress that they all loved - but it was only available in sizes up to a 16. The bride’s best friend and maid of honour, who she describes as “a bigger girl”, couldn’t fit into the dress - but told the bridal party to buy them anyway, because she was planning to lose weight for the wedding. But a year later, the bride admitted to fellow Mumsnet users that she had growing concerns.
“She’s made almost no effort to try and get the weight off,” she explained. “I haven’t raised it at all with her and left her to it, but having just been away for a girls’ weekend, it was quite obvious that she’s now even bigger than when we bought the dresses and doesn’t seem to be moderating her eating at all.”
