Bride-to-be under fire for admitting she wants to remove her ‘best friend’ from her wedding party over her weight

A bride has come under fire after admitting she wants to remove her best friend from her wedding party as she won't lose weight for the photos.

A woman claiming to be close to the bride took to Reddit recently, explaining that she had asked her friend of more than ten years to be a bridesmaid. However, she had a very specific condition for her bridal party. The Reddit user explained that the bride "wants all her bridesmaids to actively lose weight in the months leading up to photos, so that they can all look fit". The bride's best friend "refuses to exercise and continues to lead a very unhealthy lifestyle" - which has, in turn, left the bride wanting to remove her from the bridal party. The Reddit user asked the internet forum users whether or not the bride was in the wrong. And, well, the general consensus was yes - very much so. One person commented:

"Asking your bridesmaids to lose weight is pretty f*cked up to be honest with you."

Another person wrote:

"Unhealthy lifestyle or not, the friend is as she is. If Bridezilla is cutting her from the wedding party strictly because she doesn't want the photographer using wide-angle lenses then it sounds like they aren't very good friends."

Someone else branded the bride "incredibly superficial," adding:

"Yikes. 10/10 would end that friendship immediately if someone asked that of me."

A different person added:

"That’s very shallow. Let me guess, she wants the perfect Instagram worthy wedding?

"You don’t pick people to be in your wedding based on their looks. You pick them based on how special they are to you. You pick people who are good friends and who love you and support you."
