She Refused To Buy An $865 Dress Just To Be A Bridesmaid In Her Cousin’s Wedding
This 19-year-old woman is currently a college student and works a part-time job on the side. Her cousin is also engaged to be wed in just two months, and she was asked to be one of her cousin’s bridesmaids.
She happily agreed to join the bridal party, too, and found out that all of the bridesmaids were expected to wear the same color – which was fine with her.
But then, she found out that her cousin didn’t want her to wear just any dress in that specific color. Rather, her cousin expected her to buy a specific dress that cost a whopping $865!
“I don’t have that money to spend on a dress,” she said.
She also told her cousin that, yet her cousin just told her to borrow the money from her mom.
However, she absolutely refused to do that and pointed out how she couldn’t just borrow that much money – especially when she could not afford to pay her mom back right now.
Well, her cousin wound up telling her that if she couldn’t buy the dress, then she could no longer be a bridesmaid.
“And I was okay with that,” she recalled.
Still, her cousin proceeded to tell their entire family about the situation and actually accused her of trying to “sabotage” the wedding.

This caused some of her family members to call her up, offer to lend her the money to buy the dress and claim that she could just pay them back in a year or two. Nonetheless, she still turned all the offers down.
“Because I simply don’t want to buy such an expensive dress that I will only wear once,” she vented.
Since then, some of her loved ones have continued being angry at her and even believe that she’s running her cousin’s wedding.
So now, she’s not sure if refusing to buy such an expensive dress just to be a bridesmaid at her cousin’s wedding is so unreasonable or not.
Do you agree that $865 is ridiculously expensive for a bridesmaid dress, especially since she is still in school? Was dropping out of the bridal party the right move? What would you have done?
