Aita for interrupting an announcement at my friends wedding
Hi reddit this isnt that common for me so im sorry if i ramble but ill start by explaining what happened. So i recently went to a wedding for one of my oldest friends who we can call jane ,me and jane have been friends for years now and have also had a friend not as close but still close enough and we will call her bullshitter.
So bullshitter has always had a liking for attention and it has extremely escalated recently, this is because a while back she got married and now that the attention has dissipated from her and her wedding she has been scrambling for attention anywhere else.
So to kind of set the scene we were at this lovely outdoor dining area it was really calm and peaceful there ,was a band ,people were just chatting while eating their food when all of a sudden ,a loud clinking was coming from my left and i turn to see bullshitter standing up ,a tall glass of water in one hand and a fork in the other and i instantly knew that she had some sort of plan.
She started talking about her life before and after she knew our friend jane and that jane saved her from a dog chasing her one time and then she started talking about her self ,her life ,her wedding and her proposal.Then she started talking about how her and her husband were trying for a baby for a really long time until recently.
Now i knew where this was going ,she had a hand placed on her stomach ,was having water not wine and i looked over to jane her face was red ;although she was smiling i could tell that she too knew what was coming and was mad as she had explicitly said she wanted a calm evening with no surprises or even speeches not even from herself or her husband as that is the the of people they are.
I now may seem like the ass but i couldn’t help myself and so i also stood up and started talking over bullshitter and ill basically just write what i said: and upon looking back on all the time we have spent together from running around the neighbourhood, knocking on doors asking where each other were all the way up to getting married ,wanting babies and having jobs we have only now realised how much we have helped each other and how we have raised each other too; and so while moving forward in our lives we hope to see you thrive in the same way that you have helped us thank you.
I sat back down and felt absolutely humiliated because i knew that it didn’t really link but as i looked over to bullshitter her face was pure rage she slumped back down in her chair crossed her arms and twenty minutes later she was nowhere to be seen as her and her husband had just left without a goodbye just disappeared.
Later i went over to apologise to jane about how i didn’t want to undermine her in the speech department but i thought it would be better than bullshitter announcing her pregnancy and jane under stood and thanked me. its been about a week now and i have been receiving harsh messages from the bullshitter herself and im not sure how im supposed to answer them but did i do the right thing or am i the a whole i know it may not have been my place but i would have felt worse if i hadn’t stepped in so im unsure on whether I was right or not.
SMALL UPADATE-
Hi guys thanks you for all the replies and reassurance its meant alot and i thought i would just answer a few queries and give a little update.
I do also want to apologise that this was the worst thing i have ever written and im aware how poor the grammar is ,im going to go back and edit it i was just so caught up in it while writing lol.
Anyway so alot of people asked why me and jane were even friends with bser,and to be honest it all started because none of us were all that popular and so we naturally banded together. This obviously isnt the best reason to befriend someone but over years it felt harder to leave as she was so prominent in our lives so instead it was just easier to go along with her shinanigans.
I know a few people have made several comments about this being some ai slop but its not and im not sure how im supposed to prove that? However as much as i was just some bored Redditor trying to get a bunch of attention i have been lucky enough to be blessed with such a horrible person in my life.
Anyway on to the update bser and me talked and while it was long and tiring it was unsurprisingly unproductive for our relationship. So i took some of you guys opinions and i texted her how she had made me and jane feel for a while and she took it as some kind of harassment and started calling me.
She essentially started screaming at me about how we don’t appreciate her and how she was only trying to bring more joy to our friend on her wedding day. Of course this made me slightly lose it and i started to lecture her on how jane had told people NO SPEECHES and that she had undermined her on all levels.
Bser ended up cussing at me straight for at least five minutes and i ended up hanging up and blocking her ,and besides a few hateful messages from her husbands facebook i have not heard much from her since.
Anyway im hoping that is it but i will try to remember to let u guys know if anything drastic happens but fingers crossed nothing does.
Thanks once again for the advice have a great day!
