Bride Demands 'Do-Over' Bachelorette 2 Years After the 1st One That Nobody Could Afford

In it, the original poster explains that she was a bridesmaid for her friend "Lucy" back in 2019, along with four other bridesmaids and a maid of honor. But early on, trouble started brewing around the bachelorette party, which Lucy envisioned as a fun-filled girls' weekend getaway.

"At first she picked an affordable getaway, but then changed her mind and picked another spot, for a longer period of time," the Reddit poster explained. "It was going to cost a lot of money to attend, not to mention it fell during a time some had to work."

So did the bride's MOH, who also joined in on the weekend getaway.

But the rest of the bridal party bowed out, saying that it was either too hard for them to take off from work or too much money on top of the rest of the wedding festivities.

At the time, Lucy seemed to be fine with it, and happily went on her bachelorette weekend with the two friends who were available.

"We had a really fun time, but my friend did keep saying she wished everyone else was there," the poster recalled. "Understandable."

"Shortly after she returned from her honeymoon, Lucy started hinting at a 'redo' for her bachelorette, stating that it sucked not everyone came," the poster shared.

Feeling a bit taken aback, all of the women said they either didn't have the money or time for a "redo." But privately, they were kind of appalled.

"Myself and the other bridesmaids at various points agreed we really had no desire to throw her a second bachelorette," the poster continued. "The topic was dropped for a bit when everything happened around the world, but occasionally, Lucy would bring up that we needed to have that bachelorette once everything cooled down. We all just ignored it."

"Things are doing better now and all of us are completely vaccinated," the Redditor shared. "This time, the MOH ended up contacting us, wanting to set up a second bachelorette."

"All of us were honest," she continued, adding that most of of them are still recovering financially from the impact of the pandemic. "Two girls lost their jobs, my husband lost his, so I was the sole breadwinner for a while, we're just now recovering from all of that," she explained. "And given how much we already spent on the wedding, it's just not practical for us to throw her a second."

"We said maybe we could all have a smaller reunion in 2022, but nothing like she desires," said the poster, who explained that the "bride" wanted to go back to the same exact spot they went in 2019. "I guess the MOH reported this to Lucy, who shared she was really disappointed that she didn't get a 'proper bachelorette' even though she's been married now for two years."

But at this point, the poster felt she needed to be honest.

"I told her that she was being a little greedy," she admitted. "[Lucy] had a fabulous wedding, bachelorette party, bridal shower, and engagement celebration (not all of us attended all events, but they were still thrown). At this point, we don't owe her another lavish trip."

Now, both Lucy and her MOH are upset by the whole thing, and have accused the other bridesmaids of making Lucy out to seem like a "burden."

But considering how pricey the original wedding was — not to mention the fact that it's now been more than two years since she tied the knot — it all seems a little … well, ridiculous.

"Lucy is ridiculously entitled," wrote one user. "She already had a free vacation weekend (bachelorette #1) and a wedding and a honeymoon. If she wants a girls' weekend with friends, she can pay her fair share!"

"No," countered someone else. "If she wants a girls' weekend to the expensive place that she's decided with no input from everyone else, she needs to pay for ALL of it!"

"Lucy IS a burden, and a massive a--hole for getting mad at her friends because they’re poor," one person declared.

But this ignited another debate …

"Not being able to take a lavish trip does not make you poor!" one person shot back.

"They aren't poor, they have just been bled dry by Lucy," wrote another. "She thinks their money should all be dedicated to her and her travel preferences and a multi-year wedding celebration."

But even then, they couldn't totally get on board with her line of thinking.

"I can totally say that I occasionally think about mine (married four years now), but it was because I broke my foot just before my wedding and never got the chance to actually HAVE one," one Redditor shared. "But I don't really care, it just pops into my head when I see posts like this. This chick wants two bachelorette parties? So many people don't even get that, OR engagement parties, or rehearsal dinners, or the big wedding, or whatever."

The bottom line?

As this user put it, "Holy hell, Lucy, you need a reality check, girl!"

(Honestly, we couldn't have put it better ourselves.)
