Just one name. Like Sting, or Cher, or Prince.

My BFF (minus the last F after a few years out of college) kicked out a bridesmaid in her wedding after calling me to rehearse the actual booting. The jilted BM, on a starting teacher's salary, had already bought the $200 dress, the $75 shoes and attended three of the five (5!) showers with gifts. Also, the jilted…

I know. I would be interested in knowing the percentage of brides that have lavish unaffordable weddings because of family pressure.

An epic tailgate party?

My sister kicked a bridesmaid out of her wedding. As the maid of honor, I can attest that the woman was a pain in the ass. We ordered dresses from j crew online (my sister paid for them) and she would not stop talking about how ugly they were, so we let her get the dress in a different style (same color and fabric).…

My sister had a very close guy friend who she had previously dated years and years before. When he got engaged, he asked her to be in the wedding and she very excitedly accepted. It was only AFTER she bought the bridesmaid's dress that his fiancee told her she didn't want her in the bridal party after all. My sister…

Ok, I just remembered that I flew in DURING the rehearsal dinner and our Mom missed the first hour picking me up. Yikes. I'm an asshole.

My step-sister asked me to be her maid of honor (our parents married when I was 7, she was 4). My life was very insane at the time, I was living half the world away and the few times I was in the US, I was still thousands of miles away. I realize now that I should have been in touch with our cousins/other…

I kind of like how Victorians dealt with it. After a wedding, each guest is mailed the bride and groom's new calling cards. If you received a calling card that contain the married couple's new address, it means that they want to continue their friendship with you and you may call on them. If you receive a calling card …

...that you know of.

Uh YUP!!! Axed one of my bride's maids after I found out her boyfriend was holding people up at ATMs and was an actual cat burglar. UM NO, you are not allowed to bring this guy to my wedding, and I cannot have this association with you at all. We found out later he had been casing out her friend's places so he &…

If bachelorette parties aren't the time for inappropriate flirting, what is even the point of them?

That sounds way more fun than any bachelorette party I've ever been to.

But she HAS to have a girl. There is just no other way around it.

I was preemptively uninvited to my SIL's wedding party, I guess because my first SIL to get married included me in hers even though we didn't know each other well. The family was very concerned and kept trying to comfort me because the other two SILs were bridesmaids. But they all live in the same town, and I only see…

I was invited to be in a wedding party - and then fired because I was also the wedding cake baker. I wasn't bummed out at all - I got to make some money and an awesome cake to boot!

The ONLY time it's acceptable to fire a wedding party member are the times it's acceptable to fire them as a friend forever: If they sleep with your fiance, say something racist about another wedding party member, stuff like that. A friend fired a groomsman after he fell into one-sided love with and started stalking…

I was in a wedding party where the bride booted the maid of honor from the wedding during the bachelorette party. Excessive booze, crying, hot tub fighting - it was all very Real Housewives-esque.

Kicking someone out of the bridal party is a friendship-ending move.

I fully support the theory that your bridal party should be the people you'd call at 3:00 AM to help bury a body and/or the people your spouse would call if something happened to you and they needed help.

I have two stories for this one.
