Bride ‘scams’ bridesmaids to help spend more on her own wedding dress

Charging more for the dresses

A bride has been exposed after scamming her bridesmaids on social media.

Speaking on Reddit, the bridesmaid explained how the deceitful bride charged double for the bridesmaids dresses so she could spend the extra cash on her OWN dress.

The bridesmaid explained how the bride charged £315 for a bridesmaid dress that actually retailed for £157.

Taking to the Reddit thread, the American woman said: “Several years ago, a friend of mine asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding.

“There were six of us plus the maid of honour, so seven in total.

“The bride had picked out her dress already, one for the maid of honour and one for the bridesmaids.

“The dress itself was lovely but a bit expensive at $400 each since two of us were still in college so money was super tight.”

She continued: “The maid of honour decided she would pay for all of the dresses on her credit card because she wanted the air miles and we would pay her back directly.

“None of us minded, especially since she was going to let us pay her back in instalments if we needed. I definitely needed.”

She went on to say that she was unable to pick the dresses up with her other bridesmaids and arranged to go on a later date to pick her’s up.

And that’s when there was a misunderstanding with the payment – a shop assistant didn’t realise the dresses had been paid for already and demanded payment.

The bridesmaid thought the dresses cost £315, when, in fact, they cost £157.

“When I confronted the maid of honour about it, she spilled the beans,” she added. “Apparently, the bride and maid of honour plotted together to charge us double to help pay for the bride’s dress.

“I let the bridesmaids know and four of us dropped out of the wedding immediately.”
