This story is part of our cover series , in which we explore the role's often-absurd demands, astronomical expenses, copious amounts of unpaid labor, and ways to change the tradition that benefits everybody involved.
Read all our stories .There’s a type of woman who, right before she’s about to say something controversial, will apologize, launch into a throat-clearing preface, or at least sputter a meek “no offense.” Allow us to come right out and tell you what she’s been stumbling to say: She doesn’t want to be your bridesmaid.
She doesn’t want to wear sage-green chiffon.
She doesn’t want to look down and see 349 unread WhatsApp messages.
She doesn’t want to use the only vacation time she gets this year to travel to Vegas for your “low-key” bachelorette that will cost more than a real vacation.
She doesn’t want to be told low buns are great but ponytails are a no.
She doesn’t want to drink Pinot Grigio out of penis straws.
She doesn’t want to “settle up” on Splitwise.
She doesn’t want to risk damaging an important friendship over something as ridiculous as this.
And let the record show we wholeheartedly agree with her.
As do you—admit it.It’s unclear when the job of being a bridesmaid went from being mildly annoying to being precipitously, obscenely, recklessly off the rails.
We could blame Instagram or TikTok or influencers.
We could blame the pandemic.
We could blame prosaic boomers or entitled millennials.
But truthfully, it doesn’t really matter.
