My best friend is trying to demote me from Maid of Honor via group poll.
By @avaforsure · Friends
We had a fight about her bachelorette party demands (a week in Bali, lmao) and now she's taking it to a vote in our friend group chat. they says if the people want me gone, I'm gone. So democratic of her.
The full story
My best friend, the bride-to-be, decided her bachelorette needed to be a one-week, all-expenses-paid-by-us trip to Bali. I told her that was insane and I couldn't afford the time or money. Apparently, that was the nuclear option. Instead of talking to me about it, she posted a poll in our group chat: 'Should Ava remain MOH if she can't commit to the party?' And people are actually voting. I feel like I'm on trial for treason. It's so humiliating, and honestly, a little hilarious in a dark, twisted way.
How people voted
- Side A — 14% (3 votes)
- Both — 33% (7 votes)
- Side B — 52% (11 votes)
Readers say “Side B” (52%) — 21 votes and 5 comments so far.
What people are saying
@fayehm — I'd show up to the wedding in the most hideous dress I could find and enjoy the free food. Bali is insane.
@nellieok — What does a group poll even solve here?
@hollylol — A week in Bali isn't a bachelorette party, it's a second honeymoon you're paying for.
@nicolately — Other side.
@gusliterally — Sounds like you need to demote her from 'best friend' status, honey. That's not how a real friend acts.
