- The 22-year-old bride detailed the situation on Reddit

- The woman begged people on the web for advice
A bride has been branded a ‘bridezilla’ after she demanded her best friend cancel her pre-planned trip to attend her wedding.
The unnamed 22-year-old woman took to Reddit to detail the situation as she asked people on the web if she was in the wrong.
In a thread titled, Am I The A**hole, the blushing bride noted that she was overjoyed when her partner got down on one knee.
After starting the wedding planning process, the woman and her groom-to-be originally planned for their special day to take place on their three-year anniversary.
However, when the venue was fully booked that day, they selected a date a ‘few weeks’ later and told all of their friends and family.
But, when the venue called back and revealed that the initial desired date was available, the lovebirds jumped at the opportunity to change their wedding date.
The switch caused the bride’s bestie to be forced to decline the wedding invite as she noted that the new date was the day of her birthday and she and her boyfriend had a trip planned.
Her refusal to attend the woman’s wedding sparked a fierce argument, which saw the bride-to-be demanding she cancel her birthday plans so she could be there on her special day.

The post was titled: ‘Am I the a**hole for wanting my best friend (and MOH) at my wedding even though it’s her birthday?’
She explained: ‘I (22F) am getting married to my fiancé (29M) next year. Our wedding isn’t going to be super extravagant, as we only wanted to celebrate with our friends and family.
‘A lot of the things for our wedding are going to be simple, DIY, with the help of our friends/family, etc. The main thing we absolutely wanted was our wedding venue.
‘We instantly knew it was the one and we wanted a specific date (our three-year first date anniversary).
‘Unfortunately, our venue told us this date was not available and so we chose a date a few weeks after. It was around this time that we announced our wedding party.’
Weeks after they announced their wedding party, there was a switch-up.
She added: ‘Flash forward to about two weeks ago when we got a call from our venue saying that the date we originally wanted had opened up. We were thrilled so we moved our wedding back.
‘We didn’t have any reservations about doing this because everyone who was coming to the wedding is relatively local and hadn’t made any travel accommodations yet.

‘We told our guests about the change and everyone was fine until I got a call from my best friend and maid of honor.’
The bride’s best pal revealed that she could no longer attend the ceremony due to the change, sparking a fierce debate between the friends.
‘She said that the wedding was now her birthday (which I obviously knew) and that she and her boyfriend were going to go on a trip that week.
‘I was shocked as I hadn’t heard of these plans before, but I just told her that I really wanted her to be at my wedding because she is my best friend in the world. She told me it was unfortunate that the wedding date moved, but that her trip was already paid for and mostly non-refundable.
‘I was crying at this point, and just said how this is unfair and how upset I am. She said I didn’t have a reason to be this upset because I moved the date without telling anyone and someone was bound to not be able to go anymore.
‘Some words were exchanged then (basically us going back and forth and bringing up old conflicts) and she hung up on me,’ the woman added.
At the end of the post, she begged people on the web for advice.
She said: ‘Our mutual friends see her point and think that I should “get over it”. However, I think it’s unfair that she would drop out of my wedding so easily because of a small change (literally 21 days). Am I the a**hole?’
People on the web flooded the social media platform and slammed the bride-to-be.

One person said: ‘You’re the a**hole.’
Someone else commented: ‘You’re the a**hole. You knew that your preferred weekend was when your friend’s birthday is.
‘Yet despite that, you’d originally planned to schedule the wedding for then, and when you were subsequently offered the opportunity to book that weekend you jumped at it without considering checking that this key member of the bridal party didn’t have something scheduled for her birthday weekend.’
‘You’re the a**hole. Your wedding was on a specific date. You announced the date. Your friend made her plans for her birthday based on the specific date you chose for your wedding. Then you changed the wedding date to her birthday. She wasn’t required to tell you of her vacation plans so I’m not sure why you’re shocked,’ another person wrote.
