Bride Forgot to Mute Her Mic & Mocked Me – Her Jaw Dropped after Seeing Me at Her Wedding 6 Months Later

On TikTok, the handle Twohottakes took to the platform to read a story they got. The story was centered around a bridal party and the bridesmaid who stunned the bride. However, the bridesmaid was unsure if her actions were right, so she sought advice.

The bridesmaid, a 30-year-old woman, shared a history with Kate, the bride. They were both the same age and had forged friendships during their grad school days. After grad school, life took them on different paths, but they kept in touch.

Despite being apart physically, they communicated virtually for two years. This led to Kate inviting her friend to be one of her bridesmaids on her special day. Another reason why Kate extended her the bridesmaid's invitation was because her fiancé, Kyle, 30, had eight groomsmen.

Kate wanted an equal number of bridesmaids to balance things out. The bridesmaid and original poster of the story (OP) did not mind. She accepted the invitation and looked forward to the big day. Little did she know that the days leading to the wedding would provide her with one of her biggest motivations.

The plot took a turn during a bridesmaids' group chat on Discord, an instant messaging social platform. About six months before the wedding, OP overheard Kate mockingly tell Kyle that the OP would serve well as a "counterweight" to one of the groomsmen, Tim, due to both being overweight.

The OP had been planning on losing weight and used this as the perfect opportunity to achieve her goals. Kate's mockery hurt her but she chose to conceal her emotions. Instead, she opted to channel her frustrations into a transformative journey of self-improvement.

For six months, she embarked on a rigorous regimen and shed 35 pounds of fat. She replaced the fat lost with 4 pounds of muscle to spite the naysayers. Her progress was kept under wraps, aided by her aversion to social media and her history of discomfort with photos.

"You're upstaging me at my own wedding."

OP's reveal was strategically planned for the wedding. She ordered her bridesmaid dress smaller than her previous size and tailored it to accentuate her new figure. The moment of truth came when she arrived at the hotel the day before the wedding. She wore a form-fitting attire that left no room for doubt about her transformation.

On TikTok, the host of the account applauded her actions as they said her losing weight was the definition of getting revenge body. The OP wrote:

"I wore the tightest Lululemons I could find when I met everyone at the hotel the day before, and seeing the visceral shock on Kate's face was priceless."

The wedding day was a spectacle. It was not just for the couple's joining, but for the dynamics that unfolded. OP and Tim were paired and walked down the aisle, but she said he acted stiff and awkward around her. However, she attributed his behavior to nerves or that he did not care for strangers.

Either way, the arrangement was awkward at best. As the evening wore on and their inhibitions were lowered by alcohol, Kate's true feelings surfaced. Kate had planned a setup that fell flat. She had wanted the OP and Tim to develop a relationship, but the OP denied her request. As the celebrations continued into the night, Kate dropped her final accusation.

Kate had not expected things to turn out how they had and did not expect the dramatic weight loss in the OP. She accused OP of upstaging her on her wedding day as she said, "you're not supposed to be skinnier than me, you're upstaging me at my own wedding."

While the confrontation was devoid of dramatics, it laid bare the complexities of their relationship. Misunderstandings and miscommunications clouded the aftermath of the wedding. Other bridesmaids and groomsmen thought the OP was being mean to Tim.

They also did not like that she had refused to go on a date with Tim. At the wedding reception, the OP offered the couple her congratulations, and she and Kate had not spoken since then. The OP left the scene after things went awry.

As the dust settled on Kate's wedding, the aftermath reflected actions and reactions. The OP found herself grappling with a profound sense of introspection. She is questioning her own role in the events and wondering if she was wrong.

Commenters on TikTok praised her actions with some writing, "You served her well and she deserved it," "You are allowed to turn down a date. Sounds like bride made some promises to Tim, that she had no authority to do so," "nothing motivates like revenge," "nothing motivates like revenge," and more.

On Reddit, the reactions varied with some commenters calling out the bride. Other commenters applauded the OP, some shared their opinions about bridesmaids, while some shared their stories.

One Redditor wrote, "The fact that they wanted to set her up with someone just because in bride's mind 'they are both fat' is disgusting." Another commented, "Seems to me that Tim didn't really knew what was going on and that this is one of those situations in which people assume two persons should be together only because they are both overweight."

One of the Redditors who applauded the OP wrote, "Your own personal improvements shouldn't take away from Kate's "day," the fact that it does tells you all you need to know. Also you are a person, nothing is own to Tim and as such everyone can shove it."

Of those who shared their stories and opinions, one wrote, "I don't get it either- I was def the heaviest of my wedding party and I was the bride- I didn't feel upstaged but my thinner friends- I felt beautiful and I thought they looked beautiful, and it was a wonderful day!"
