“My best friend had a college roommate who got engaged and wanted all the roommates to be her bridal party. Not only did she ask them to pay for the dress, shoes, hair, makeup, and matching jewelry, which added up to about $850, but she was getting married in Hawaii, and they were also expected to pay for their rooms, flight, and anything else (food, etc.). My friend was not making all that much money and didn’t have a family who could help her out, so she told her friend that she wasn’t able to come but that she would come to her bachelorette party instead to celebrate her. She was upset but eventually calmed down and said okay.”
“Then, a few weeks later, they get the text from the maid of honor with the plans for the bachelorette party…yeah, it was in Vegas. At the Aria, they were all splitting a suite. We lived in Philadelphia. My poor friend ended up dropping close to $4,000 on that trip, and she didn’t drink any alcohol and ate the cheapest, bare-minimum food. They haven’t spoken since.”
