Ladies, gents, and everyone in between, gather ’round because have I got a tale for you! Buckle up, buttercups, because this one’s a wild ride down the aisle that’ll have you clutching your pearls and gasping in shock. You see, I stumbled upon a story—a very real story from a very real person—on Reddit that’s so juicy, it’s ripe for the picking. So, without further ado, let’s dive into this matrimonial mayhem that’s got everyone talking.
Imagine being invited as a plus one to a wedding, only to end up being the unintended star of a bridezilla-fueled fiasco. Now, before you start tut-tutting, let me assure you, this isn’t your average wedding woe. Oh no, this is the story of how a 16-year-old young man’s mere presence at his boyfriend’s brother’s wedding supposedly caused enough drama to make a daytime soap opera seem tame by comparison.
Our protagonists, let’s call them Theo and our unsung hero, the 16-year-old plus-one, found themselves in the eye of the storm thanks to Theo’s brother, Dave, and his bride-to-be, Bridget—the bridezilla to end all bridezillas. According to our narrator, Bridget had a vision for her wedding that was as unique as it was, oh, let’s say, controversial? She wanted to play matchmaker with her wedding party, pairing off groomsmen and bridesmaids in a display of feigned romantic bliss. Everyone, that is, except Theo and his supposed faux-date, Abby, and, by extension, our dear storyteller.
Things took a turn for the absurd when Bridget dictated that our plus-one was not welcome, ostensibly because his being openly and proudly gay didn’t suit her ‘aesthetic.’ Yeah, you heard that right. As if that wasn’t enough, Bridget’s antics escalated from bizarre to downright deplorable, culminating in a wedding day showdown that saw Dave, the groom himself, calling it quits right then and there at the altar.
Now, if your jaw’s on the floor, welcome to the club. Our Reddit friend was painted as the villain in this Shakespearean tragedy, accused of ruining what should have been Bridget’s picture-perfect day. But here’s where Roger’s Hot Take comes simmering to the surface: In a world brimming with real problems, the true tragedy is letting bigotry and an obsession with appearances poison what should be a celebration of love and unity.
Was our plus-one friend the villain? Hardly. If this tale teaches us anything, it’s that love, in all its forms, should be the guest of honor at every wedding. And anyone who thinks otherwise might just find themselves the lead role in their own not-so-fairytale ending.
So, there you have it, folks. A wedding saga that’s more twisty than a pretzel at an Oktoberfest. To the young man who unwittingly became the centerpiece of this debacle, I say: hold your head high. And to Bridget? Maybe take a page out of a more modern playbook where love wins, and drama takes a back seat.
Stay sassy, my friends, and remember—when life gives you bridezillas, make them the subject of your next epic story. Roger, out.
Original story
So I (16m) boyfriend’s (17m) older brother just got married this past year and I was invited as a plus one.
So we’ll call the groom Dave(25m) and the bride Bridget (23f). And Bridget is probably the biggest bridezilla I have ever met.
So Bridget has 6 bridesmaids (including MOH) and Dave has 6 groomsmen (including Best Man who which my boyfriend is we’ll call him Theo)
Note: These are not real names
Anywho Bridget at first didn’t want Theo to be the best man at the wedding because she thought it would be weird to have someone without a gf to be his best man. She had paired up each groomsman and bridesmaid. Like as she wanted to make them pretended they were dating. So all of her bridesmaids are in relationships with the other groomsmen except for one, Abby (16f) her sister (who she didn’t want to be part of her wedding because I quote “it would be immature to have a child as one of her bridesmaids.”.
So she paired Abby and Theo together and ordered them to pretend to be a couple (which was weird since they soon would be considered family). She didn’t even want me to come to the wedding. She cried to Dave about me being Theo’s plus one saying “Why does your brother have to bring his gay boyfriend.” (I don’t know why she chose to add gay boyfriend, since obviously we’re a gay couple.)
She also tried to ruin Theo’s groomsman outfit to try to make him not be able to make it. She also berrated one of her MOH, (her supposed best friend) for being pregnant. Saying “How could you do this to me?”. Keep in mind MOH is only a few weeks so she wouldn’t be showing at the time of the wedding. But Bridget said it was taking the shine off of her big day.
Day of the rehearsal dinner came and I obviously sat next to Theo but Bridget walked up and said “No, you can sit over there” it was a table full of her cousins who I had not ever met. I looked over the seating chart and it said that I would be sitting next to Theo but Dave said Bridget decided to make Abby sit there instead to keep up their faux relationship up. But I kept quiet.
Day of the wedding came, it was truly beautiful but then came time for pictures of the wedding party and their respective partners she already forced MOH out as “punishment” for being pregnant, but Theo brought me up next to him for the photo, to which Bridget said “No way I’m having a gay couple in my wedding photons, it’ll ruin my aesthetic.”. To which Dave lost it, he started berating Bridget for her bitchiness and demanded she apologize to me, Theo, and MOH for her rudeness to which she didn’t and said He was done and left the wedding.
Bridget then came up to me and Theo angrily and said we ruined her wedding and relationship and she ordered us to leave. We humbly obliged and left.
I since have been getting messages from bridesmaids and groomsmen that I was an a-hole for ruining her big day.
So Reddit am I the a-hole for ruining my bf’s brothers wedding?
