Mum 'annoyed' that best friend 'won't lose weight' for wedding

A mum has been left feeling annoyed after her best friend has "made no effort" to try and lose weight for her wedding.

The mum, who has set her wedding date for April 2023, chose her best friend to be her maid of honour. After getting engaged a year and a half ago, her best friend said she would lose weight for the wedding to fit in a bridesmaid dress that only went up to a size 16.

Since then, the mum has been left feeling "stressed out" and suggests it's "quite obvious" that the friend is now "even bigger" than when they bought the original dresses. Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) thread, the mum sought opinions on whether she was right to be annoyed with the friend, she titled her post: "AIBU To be annoyed that my best friend/maid of honour won't lose weight for my wedding?"

We saw a bridesmaid dress that we all absolutely adored, but it turned out that they only did it up to a size 16. My best friend who is my maid of honour, is a bigger girl so it didn't seem like this was going to work.
