Yeesh, you really can’t pick your family can you?

In a time where women are supposed to be supporting women, this just doesn’t cut the cake.

Its really unbelievable how far women are willing to go to have good wedding photos.

A woman recently took to Reddit to dish about how absolutely stunned to find out why her sister wanted their cousin in her bridal party. Evidently, the cousin has scarring on her face from a childhood accident and the bride-to-be wanted her in the party to make everyone else look “pretty.”

Reddit user “BritishChewbacca” posted her story on the site’s forums, asking the other users for advice. Apparently, she was using a fake account because her sister stalks her main account.

Bridezilla trying to use scarred cousin as "the ugly friend"

According to the story, “My sister is not a very nice person. She’s very entitled and spoiled, and is honestly just kind of a bully. She was known for it at school and it definitely hasn’t stopped in her adult life. She’s also getting married soon, oh joy.”

The post describes a meeting between the two sisters and their mom about the bridal party. According to the author, the bride said, “she’s having six bridesmaids: our little half-sister on dad’s side, four of her close friends and our cousin. I was pretty shocked that she wanted the cousin to be a part of the bridal party. She’s a really awesome person and everything, but I didn’t think she and my sister were close. In fact, I didn’t think she and my sister had even spoken for at least a year or two. Turns out I was right. Seeing mom and I were confused, sister laughed a bit and said, ‘imagine how pretty we’ll look in pictures with her!'”

The sister explained how the “cousin has a lot of scarring down one side of her face from an accident when she was a kid. She used to be incredibly self-conscious about it as it is rather obvious but she’s more comfortable with herself these days.” She added, “I know her appearance is still a pretty sore spot for her. Case in point, some rude man in a pub made a comment to her about it a few months ago and she got really upset and went into a depression for a couple of weeks.”

The post ended with “BritishChewbacca” asking whether or not she should warn the cousin about her sister’s intentions.

Naturally a lot of comments were sympathetic agreeing that the cousin didn’t deserve to be bullied, they warned that the situation needed to be handled delicately.

Other Reddit users were a little bit more direct saying, “You have every right to protect your cousin from your sister’s meanness. Your cousin does not need to bear the brunt of your sister and the bridal party’s nastiness. However, if you do tell please be gentle and maybe take her out to make her feel better.”
