Bride Doesn’t Want Her Best Friend In Wedding Photos Because Her “Bump Would Be Too Distracting”, She Drops Out

Recently, a 27-year-old turned to the AITA community for advice. In a lengthy post which received 11k upvotes and 2k comments, the author ColdAlfalfa1554 explained that her best friend is getting married and she has been “actively helping her the entire time as her maid of honor.”

In the beginning of October, the author found out that she was pregnant with her first baby. “This is my first baby and I have struggled heavily with fertility issues so this is a literal miracle baby,” she wrote. “I will be in my second trimester during the time of her wedding.”

But when ColdAlfalfa1554 told her best friend and bride-to-be the news, she seemed far from impressed. In fact, the bride got really upset.

The tension between the two friends kept on rising until the bride came up with “a hard decision to keep me MOH but she doesn’t want me in her pictures.” Read on to find out what happened after and how the author reacted.

You'd think someone's best friend would be ecstatic that they finally got pregnant after essentially giving up hope. I'd certainly worry more about whether my friend could still comfortably do the wedding activities rather than how it'd look in pictures.

My matron of honor was 8 MONTHS pregnant in my wedding. She looked absolutely stunning. NOTHING changed as a result of her being pregnant. She's in every picture, she gave a beautiful speech, and I told her she didn't have to plan or even travel to the bachelorette trip if she didn't want to but she said she wouldn't miss it for the world <3 That's my best friend of over 20 years and now I get to tell her son that he was in my wedding! I couldn't imagine leaving her out on my day. You couldn't pay me to do it.

This is so sad. Here's a better story: I was a bridesmaid who stayed up all night before the wedding to alter the dress of another bridesmaid who was 4-5 months pregnant and we discovered that day that she just could not get into it. Do you know why I did it? Because my friend the bride was going to do it. My bride friend was going to stay up late the night before her wedding to help out her friend and make her look good for the pictures. It took me all night because I'm not the best seamstress and had to rip it out a few times, but there was no way I was going to let the bride stay up the night before her wedding!
