We've all heard about bridezillas.
There are some exceptionally juicy stories here and here. This next one is even more appalling.
A Redditor decided to ditch her friend's wedding after the bride did something unforgivable: she set her up with someone who's "more in her league." In other words, the "friend" didn't believe she was good enough for her current boyfriend.

She began by sharing that she and her friend, Mary, have known each other since they were children. As many childhood friends often do, they've grown apart over the past few years.
The wedding is in three weeks. The Redditor also shared that the reason she and Mary drifted apart over the years is because of how Mary treats her relationship.
"He’s a wonderful person, and there is no doubt in my mind that this is the man I want to marry," she wrote. Unfortunately, Mary isn't supportive of this.
Here's a little background on Jack: he comes from wealthy parents and has lived a very privileged life. This is a huge contrast to the Redditor's childhood.
"I grew up in a low income neighbourhood, often wondering where my next meal was, or how I was gonna help pay the bills at a young age."
Because of all this, Mary believes that Jack deserves better than the Redditor.
According to her, “There’s no way I could have pulled someone so attractive and rich.”
"Whenever Jack is around, she’s quite polite and respectful, never once making those comments. Eventually, the comments stopped." Sadly, that wasn't the end of it.
When Gary asked why she was single, he was taken aback when she told him that she was in a happy, committed relationship. "He told me that Mary had set up a blind, double-date of sorts for the both of us."
When she called Mary later to ask why she had done that, Mary tried to deny it first. Finally, she said that “Gary is a man who’s more in my league."
This led the Redditor to say she didn't want to be a bridesmaid anymore.
"It’s been a few days and her fiancé has been texting me, asking me to suck it up for the wedding. I feel petty and conflicted right now," the Redditor wrote.
Reddit wasted no time in clearing up any confusion on what to do.
"Don’t let her change your mind," they added.
Another agreed, adding, "she sounds kind of jealous." This conniving behavior hurt the friend and Gary as well.
More than anything, though, the Redditor was urged to drop that friend.
"NTA Mary sounds like a 'frenemy' and the sooner you cut contact the better off you'll be in the long run," a user commented. "Sorry OP, it hurts to realize a friendship has run its course."
