'Entitled bride put me to work then demoted me to secret maid-of-honour'
A woman has been left ‘blindsided’ after her best friend demoted her from a role she had been, quite literally, honoured to take. After telling how her best friend had asked her to be her maid of honour [MOH] for her forthcoming nuptials in August, as she ‘couldn’t imagine anyone else,’ she went on to say how she’d been taking her duties very seriously, helping her friend plan everything from the ceremony and catering to her bridesmaids and bachelorette.
She also put together a ‘budget breakdown’ for her friend, jokingly telling her she didn’t need to worry about a ‘maid of honour proposal’ as she had already been asked. But what her friend said next truly shocked her: “She told me we will still need to budget for that, because I want my sister to be my official MOH.” The friend was left 'shocked and stunned', telling Reddit readers: “I was like: woah, pause, I have been doing all of the heavy lifting for the better part of a year and you’re now telling me I’m not going to be your MOH?”

She continued: “She then told me: ‘well you’re like my secret MOH, you can still be my MOH and do all the MOH things, but Lindsey will just be my official one’.” After admitting she didn’t know why this ‘really bothered her’ as she was still part of the bridal party, she said: “I’m being expected to do everything I mentioned earlier, while Lindsey is being expected to do nothing because ‘she is too irresponsible’.
"I won’t be given credit either, so as not to embarrass Lindsey. I honestly want to relinquish all this unnecessary stress and responsibility.” And after asking for feedback, readers were quick to judge her bride-to-be friend for behaving this way. "Just wow,” said one. "Maybe keep one or two of the most important things under your supervision, but Lindsey needs to sweat for this wedding…whipping out the credit card, making calls, getting contracts, etc.”

Another advised her: “Drop out immediately. She used you. She knew she was always going to pick someone else, but acted like you were the MOH. She took advantage of you. She is not a friend. Dump her.” One reader said she was being treated like an unpaid wedding planner: “Stop. You have better things you can do with your time and energy.”
While another told her to relinquish all responsibility immediately: “Your friend was using you this whole time and mentions now that someone else will be MOH. That is so disrespectful. Tell her exactly how you feel and stop doing MOH duties. Your friend is not mature enough to be getting married at all.”
