I like that she continues to act as though was just the tattoos even though she had to do a loving practice run with him that included things like what he should and shouldn't say out loud.

And her parents were rude to him anyway, but that's just their way, y'know?

I mean, asking to have the tattoos covered up and the hair dyed isn't an entirely unreasonable request. I certainly know a few brides who shelled out to have a hair/makeup pro for the bridal party so they could all have a coherent look. But that's also something you would bring up before you invited someone to be a bridesmaid, not after you've made the invitation and also had them purchase a dress.

The people that request bridal party members to dye their hair and cover their tattoos are absolutely the same type that would tell them to take off their glasses or try to stand for this one photo so we don't see that ugly wheelchair.

I have a difficult to pronounce name and I just straight up tell people I don’t care if they mispronounce it so long as I can tell they mean me. Dunno how I’d even respond if someone flubbed it on purpose, but flustering people with aggressive good faith until they either have to admit they’re being dicks or leave me alone is my old standard.

Obviously OP should make the sister promise to show up to their* wedding with pink highlights and back tats. It’s only fair. With a written contract of course.

AITA for not forgiving my Grandpa after what he said to me?

quote:

I'm (18M) gay and from a rural town. It's not necessarily homophobic here other than more older generations, but its more tolerated than anything. I was outed at 13 because I forgot to clear the browser history on the computer. My parents accepted it ok, but my granpa hated it and would constantly tell me stuff like I'm sinning or going to hell if I stayed in the lifestyle or how dissapointed he was...

My bestfriend from middle school turned into to my bf the summer before freshman year and things got bad and I was in abusive relationship till I was almost 16. I eventually found the courage to tell someone who helped me talk to my parents and get help and leave him. While healing and in therapy my grandpa had found out what happened and he came to see me and told that I deserved what happened to me for the sin of being gay ..

That was the most hurtful thing he'd ever said to me and from then on I avoided him like the plague even after he'd apologized to my parents and joined pflag. I just couldn't forgive him. He has stage 4 lung cancer now and he's dieing and Saturday I decided to go visit him with my parents and some othe family members. While there he tried to apologize to me and telling how he was a horrible grandfather and he was sorry for what he put me through. That it was one of his dying wishes to reconcile me.

I got pissed and yelled at him that that would never happen and that I hated him and just ran out of the hospital room. Later my parents said I wasn't being fair an that my grandad had been trying over the years amd that he's dying and I should just forgive him. For the last few day I've been getting calls from family about how rude and selfish I'm being to a dying man. AITA?

But not TOO beautiful or you'd be purposefully upstaging the bride and stealing her attention. Attention theft is a very real crime that even eclipses wage theft, yet when you talk about it people call you a "narcissist" or "bridezilla". Really makes u think.

Covering tats isn't an unreasonable ask, IMHO; makeup is cheap and nonpermanent. (A weird ask, but doesn't require a lot of effort from the bridesmaid.) Re-dying hair, though, is $$$ and permanent, because another rebleach to get the pink back would probably damage the hair.

...and if they aren't close enough that they would have been having this conversation before the wedding planning started, then it seems pretty clear they weren't close enough that it would be assumed that she'd be a bridesmaid.

The bride is clearly an rear end in a top hat for springing this on op, but the request in and of itself is not completely unreasonable (if it were made before the invitation to be a bridesmaid occurred). I think we're all primed to be on the side of the tattoo'd person because of the earlier story about the lovely family, but for all we know op's got an enormous back-piece of her terrible Sonic OC or something else out of the tattoo disasters thread.

AITA for calling my MIL selfish for cutting up the wedding gown I wanted to wear?

quote:

My husband and I got married a couple years ago and we were broke and planned on doing everything very low budget. MIL and I had an alright, though never close relationship, and she said I could burrow something to wear. she has a job which results in her getting invited to a lot of black tie events, and she had plenty of evening gowns. I was very grateful, though disappointed because none of them felt bridal, but obviously it isn't her fault that we were broke.

While looking through her dresses I found her wedding gown from her marriage to FIL. It was a beautiful vintage gown that she got in France and it was probably one of a kind. Her and FIL were in the process of an extremely nasty divorce and he had been cheating. I asked if I could wear it and she said she had to ask her parents because they paid for it. I thought that was kind of weird, because obviously they gave it to her and had never asked for it back, but I didn't think much of it. MILs parents are super nice and inviting, so I wasn't worried.

A few weeks later, MIL said she had been cleaning her closet and found the perfect dress for me. It was gold and sparkly, and really not the bridal dress I wanted, so I asked if she had asked her parents about the wedding gown, and she admitted that she had left it out after I left and the next night she had cut it up in a drunken rage. I was in total shock and very emotional. I ended up settling for something else, but I kept thinking about that dress she had destroyed, and honestly it made me come to dislike her a bit.

That was about three years ago and she just got engaged and not going to lie, i'm not super happy for her, because she selfishly destroyed what could have been a beautiful family heirloom. We had a family dinner recently and MILs mom is just over the moon about the engagement because she still lives in 1950 and thought her daughter was a spinster.

MIL made a comment about how happy she is and how she thought she was just going to be a bitch forever after the divorce. Then she laughed again and was like I was super mean for a year. Her mom immediately was like no you are perfect. MIL started recounting the stuff she destroyed, FIL's car interior, her stepmother's living room, and then the dress. Her mom tried to reassure her that was normal behavior and at this point I was annoyed and chimed in that it wasn't normal and destroying that dress when she knew how much I wanted to wear it was really loving selfish. MIL immediately started to play the victim about how I don't care about her at all, she was depressed, how dare I bring this up. MIL's fiancé called me trashy and a gold digger, so we left, but no everyone in the family is taking sides and pretty divided over who was the rear end in a top hat.

Great way to skewer any subtle dominance they were trying for, if you're willing to take the fall. No way to both keep the power position and pretend it's innocent.

I’ve only seen people be comically inconsiderate. One nurse I worked with was a huge self-absorbed weirdo who was so into herself and uninterested in other people she just wasn’t capable of remembering basic poo poo about other people.

I say this as someone who is terrible with names and birthdays to the point I have to use calendar notifications for my own family.

She constantly confused two black dudes on our shift, one who was light-skin, average build with a mustache and wore glasses (literally looked, dressed and acted like the black republicans from the Key and Peele skit) and the other who was very dark skinned, part asian, and had a round hairless face, stocky and narrow eyes. Their height was like the only thing even remotely similar. I cannot stress that these dudes look and dress NOTHING alike.

Like these dudes looked NOTHING alike and over two years she never got them straight to the point everyone would just burst out laughing since she got it wrong every day multiple times a shift. But it clearly wasn’t active maliciousness is was just a complete passive disinterest or awareness in anyone else.

She also asked me to grab food for her on my lunch break and tried to pay me back in a pile of nasty change from the bottom of her purse and when I was like “lol no” she argued to me that it was legal tender and I had to accept. I just told her to forget it it’s free now and never picked up food for her after that.

I'm on the side of OP for many reasons, including her bridezilla sister already making her pay for a bridesmaid dress. No doubt she'd have told OP to pay herself to have the hair redone & tattoos covered up, which is extra expense. Her additional comments shed some light about how sister had mostly asked friends to be in the bridal party but OP felt like she was only asked to keep the peace with family (guessing OP & sister haven't been on good terms for a while). Plus assholes that can't afford their own weddings without guests or members paying for it can eat poo poo & I hope the wedding industry implodes just like their little sham ceremonies.
