Bride Doesn't Plan Enough Accommodations For Her Wedding In Spain And Bodyshames Her Friend In An Attempt To Guilt Her Into Giving Up Her Villa

Planning the wedding of your dreams is a long, difficult road. This is why people expect guests to accommodate whatever the bride needs so as not to contribute to the stress she's already feeling.

But even when you make it easier for the bride, something can always unexpectedly go wrong, causing her to turn into a bridezilla. While bridezilla stories are not exactly breaking news, for one Reddit user who encountered one in the form of her friend, it was still disappointing and hurtful.

When OP (original poster) found out the exact date her friend was getting married in Spain, she immediately booked flights and accommodations for herself and her husband to maximize the best deals.

OP shared that she recently lost weight, and that fact factored into her decision-making when she chose the accommodation. She mentioned that due to the weight loss, she has a lot of loose skin and feels uncomfortable about anyone other than her husband seeing her body.

Because of this, OP didn't want to stay at a hotel with a pool; instead, she booked a villa with a private pool. OP managed to secure an amazing 3-bedroom villa at a great price.

When her husband informed their soon-to-be-married friends, they were very happy for them. However, those same friends later asked OP if she would be willing to find another place to stay so the bride's family could occupy the villa.

They promised to reimburse OP for everything she spent if she agreed to do them this favor. But OP booked that specific place for a reason, and she opened up about it to the bride, who was sympathetic at first.

She even complimented OP, saying how beautiful she was and how no one would care about her appearance until OP reiterated that she couldn't give up the villa. It's not as if she can just turn off her insecurities, she shared.

The bride flipped and told OP she was selfish for hogging the villa just because she's too scared to let her flab out.

OP's husband advised her to let it go since it was their special day and they shouldn't cause additional problems for the couple. However, OP believes she wasn't wrong, and besides attending their friend's wedding, this was OP's and her husband's only chance to take a really nice vacation.

Is OP the a**hole for refusing to give up the villa? Read her original post below for more details:

"I lost a lot of weight."

"We got a good deal because we booked early."

"My husband thinks I should just let it go."

In Reddit's opinion, OP is absolutely not the a**hole and she needs to reevaluate her friendships.

The story made this pretty clear

Aren't accommodations supposed to be a part of wedding planning?

Neurotic_Bakeder

They should be, but it looks like the bride and groom missed a crucial part of the preparations.

Who wouldn't want the villa booked by OP months in advance?

Common_Denominator

They're probably not immediate family members but rather those who didn't plan ahead.

Favors are one thing, but what the bride asked of OP is unreasonable.

TenderOctane

Exactly this.

OP should just treat this as a well-deserved grand vacation for her and her husband...

Better yet, let her husband attend the wedding since he is friends with the groom and OP is just a plus-one.

Just because it's your wedding doesn't mean you can be a jerk.

Logistically speaking, this would definitely put OP in a bind since her name is on that rental agreement.

It was a feeble attempt to emotionally manipulate OP into giving in to whatever the bride asks...

... and if OP's husband can't see how his wife is being wronged here, he is also exhibiting a**holish behavior.

Anyone would be honored to be invited to a friend's wedding day. It means they consider your relationship good enough that they want you to share in their happiness.

However, you do not get a pass to be inconsiderate simply because you spent thousands on a party. It was a lack of planning on their part that caused all of the issues, and it's not up to OP to smooth things over, no matter how much the bride whines.
