Friend or foe? A woman shared that she was “disappointed” by the lack of drama at her friend’s wedding. The woman who shared the story of the peaceful wedding on Reddit is now facing backlash for admitting the truth. In the post, she revealed how she was waiting for “chaos to begin,” which never came.
The woman prefaced the story by pointing out that it was the first wedding she was attending. The author of the post also revealed that she and the bride went to the same college and were part of the same friend group. She noted how she was excited for weeks at the prospect of attending the wedding.
“The night before, I made sure everything was ready,” she wrote. “When the day finally came, I got there early, sat in the back, and waited for the chaos to begin,” she added.
She described how guests arrived, took their seats, and greeted each other quietly. “No one fought over seating or threw a fit about plus-ones,” the woman revealed.
The friend then admits that she was beginning to “give up hope” on the wedding day being chaotic when she spotted a woman in a blue-and-white dress. “There was definitely white in there, but again… nothing happened,” she added.
She goes on to add how nobody reacted to the woman’s choice, which is usually considered problematic. According to the post, even the bride did not pay heed to the woman’s choice of clothes. The author of the post called the ceremony ‘sweet but boring,’ with ‘absolutely zero drama.’
“I figured the reception would save the day,” she wrote, but the woman was disappointed yet again because no chaos unfolded the way she hoped. She then complained about the lack of drunk relatives, surprise proposals, and no one even fighting over dessert.
The woman noted how the food and music were fine, too, while everyone in attendance “just…. ate, danced, and had fun.” She then shared how the bride came over to check on her because she had gotten quiet.
This was when the author of the post finally told the bride what was bothering her. “She asked if I was really hoping her wedding would be ruined,” the post read. The friend defended her opinion by saying that she was expecting a “real wedding” with chaos, like many others describe on Reddit.
“She gave me a weird look and moved on, but I could tell she was annoyed,” the author recalled. “Am I the AH here?” she asked, fell Redditors in the post while wondering if she was wrong.
People rushed to tell the woman just what it was that she did wrong. “YTA for not instigating the drama yourself,” one wrote. “The bride gave you a weird look because you clearly know how weddings are supposed to go and you did nothing to help it along. You had a whole spray bottle of red wine and didn’t use it??? Major AH move,” another added.
