- A bridesmaid stole the show at a wedding by announcing her engagement.
- The bride refused to cause a scene then and planned her sweet revenge carefully.
- At the bridesmaid’s wedding, she revealed something major to upstage the woman and her groom.
Things were going smoothly for a lovely couple at their wedding when one of their bridesmaids decided to steal the spotlight. While the festivities were ongoing, the bridesmaid chose to announce her engagement, and everyone’s attention turned to her.
The bride and groom had known each other since they were toddlers. Their families had always been close, and their wedding day was something everyone looked forward to.
According to the cousin of the groom, who shared this story on Reddit, after the ceremony finished and the wedding party was about to begin, one of the bridesmaids, Sarah, announced her engagement. Sarah and her equally-proud fiancé loved the attention and didn’t mind being the center of it at the party.
The bride, Emma, didn’t make a scene or say anything foul to Sarah. Instead, she smiled and acted happy for them. To everyone around, this was very unusual of Emma, as she’s known to be confrontational and often speaks her mind regardless of the consequences. She kept her composure while on the brink of tears and continued with the party.
Shortly after, Sarah asked Emma to be her Maid of Honor. It was a surprising move, especially after her bold decision to announce her engagement at Emma’s wedding.
Emma switched out the white petals in the flower girl baskets to blue ones on the day itself.
Emma said yes—she wouldn’t miss it for the world! She went straight to planning the wedding and looked forward to the special day. Her two younger sisters were flower girls at the wedding. She also knew all the bridesmaids, who helped her plan Sarah’s day.
On the day of the wedding, Emma switched out the white petals in the flower girl baskets to blue ones. She told her sisters not to mention it to anyone or let the bride see it before it was time to walk down the aisle.
Upon seeing blue petals in the aisle, Sarah looked confused. It didn’t fit her theme, but she didn’t say anything about it then. Meanwhile, the other bridesmaids, who were also Emma’s friends, knew of Emma’s switching plans.
At the reception, Sarah asked why there were blue petals instead of white. Everyone remained tight-lipped, and she began scolding the wedding coordinators for it.
Things took a sharp turn when it was time for Emma’s speech. She prepared a presentation that showed pre-approved photos of Sarah with her and their other friends so that she could facilitate some lighthearted jokes.
At the end of her speech, she turned to Sarah and told her she must have been puzzled to see blue petals instead of white like they had originally planned. Then Emma showed the last slide of her presentation: an ultrasound picture.
She revealed to everyone that she was five months pregnant and that they discovered she was having a baby boy. The entire room was filled with gasps and yells.
“Sarah had a fit,” recalled the Redditor, but those who knew about Emma’s scheme cheered so loudly that no one noticed Sarah’s tantrum. Many members of her entourage were sick of her attitude too. She had been nasty to her bridesmaids before the event, driving them away. Even though some protested, she forced them to pay a hefty sum for their dresses.
Eventually, Emma and her husband were thrown out of the party, but they couldn’t care less. Sarah’s mom confronted Emma outside, but Emma said, “Gentle, gentle! I’m pregnant!”
They were all smiles as they headed home and felt avenged for what Sarah did to them at their wedding. There were no regrets, and while they’re no longer friends, they’re glad to finish that chapter of their lives.
After such an intense story, people on the internet were divided as to whose side they were on. Who do you support in this situation?
