In the quaint United Kingdom, amidst the hustle and bustle of wedding preparations, our protagonist, a 30-year-old bride (let’s call her Zara), found herself at the center of an unexpected storm. Alongside Zara, we have her sister (L) and her long-time friend (M), both vying for the prestigious role of maid of honor. What could possibly go wrong, you ask? Oh, just you wait.
The Prelude: Best Friends and Flower Girls

After a whirlwind engagement and a hasty wedding booking, Zara entrusted her sister L with the coveted maid of honor position. Meanwhile, dear friend M—unbeknownst to Zara—secretly assumed she would be bestowed with the MOH title. Oh, the tangled web we weave. However, it seems the tale of the competing MOHs is only the tip of the iceberg.

Zara, being the thoughtful bride she is, asked M if her daughter could grace the wedding as one of two flower girls. The request was met with excitement, but as fate would have it, things took an unexpected turn. Zara had meticulously planned a dress shopping excursion, only to discover that M seemed to possess the memory of a goldfish.
Despite reminding M no less than seven times about the shopping date, time, and location, the absent-minded friend dropped a bombshell: she couldn’t afford the dress for her daughter. Ever the resourceful bride, Zara gallantly stepped in to save the day, vowing to cover the cost of the ÂŁ90 dress herself. But alas, her noble gesture was met with a twist.

Zara, ever mindful of her budget, expressed her intention to sell the dress after the wedding. After all, why let such a pricey garment gather dust in the closet? Cue M’s disappointment. She believed the dress should be a keepsake, a memento for her daughter, not some mere transaction. And let’s not forget the additional ÂŁ150 Zara had already spent on making the flower girl’s dreams come true with extravagant promises of flower throwing and floral headpieces.
In a valiant effort to ensure her goddaughter felt special, Zara went the extra mile and purchased a beautiful necklace and bracelet as reminders of the momentous day. But alas, it seems that even the grandest gestures can fall short.

Enter L, the bride’s sister, who happens to have a rather strained relationship with M. L, ever the diplomat, sided with Zara, assuring her she wasn’t being unreasonable. But can L’s opinion be trusted, given her rocky history with M? Could her advice be a touch biased? Ah, sibling rivalries—a never-ending wellspring of drama.
The Internet Reacts

After Zara shared her plight, the forum exploded with responses to help her sort out her dress dilemma. There was a mixture of opinions on both sides of the court. Read on for some notable suggestions and bits of advice.
It’s a Matter of Ownership

Many commenters brought the situation down to a matter of ownership. One forum member wrote, “This is an easy one. You pay for the dress, you own it. If she pays for the dress, she owns it.”
With others recommending the bride make sure she gets the dress back so she doesn’t lose her money. “Make sure you get the dress back at the reception, or you will never see it again. Guaranteed.”
A Greek Twist

As if the dress debacle wasn’t enough, Zara’s soon-to-be husband added another layer of chaos. It turns out that M, the disgruntled friend, is planning a destination wedding in Greece, expecting Zara and company to foot the bill for a week of wedding-related assistance. Whether this Greek affair will actually materialize is a mystery, but it certainly adds an extra sprinkle of spice to an already simmering pot. One commenter sarcastically says, “She can’t afford the flower girl dress but plans on getting married in Greece. Got it lol.”
Conclusion: Bridezilla or Not a Bridezilla?
