When Emily asked me to be a bridesmaid, I expected champagne toasts and happy tears—not a $1,200 invoice.
The wedding morning was magical. Emily presented us with breathtaking designer dresses, beaming as we gasped over the details. “Only the best for my girls!” she said. Not once did she mention we’d be footing the bill.
Fast-forward to the reception. After heartfelt speeches, Emily casually said, “Venmo me for the dresses whenever you can—$1,200 each.”
The room went dead silent.
“You can’t be serious,” Lisa said.
Emily blinked. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
Cue the universe’s response: a bakery team staggering in with a cake so massive it barely fit through the door. Emily’s shriek could’ve shattered glass. “I ordered a small cake!”
Turns out, she’d misclicked online and accidentally ordered a monstrosity costing thousands.
As she panicked, we stood firm. “You can’t demand money from us and then cry over your own mistake,” Sarah said gently.
In the end, we helped her negotiate with the bakery—but the dresses stayed unpaid for. The giant cake became the wedding’s hilarious highlight, and Emily? She won’t make that mistake again.
