📞 Hello? Hi. It’s me, Jen Glantz. Welcome to the 1-800-Bridesmaid, by Bridesmaid for Hire. A place where real stories are shared and your best advice is given.
This week:
Last week:The caller found out that her best friend got married on Instagram. This is what people told her she needs to do.
Ps. Did you know that 1-800-Bridesmaid is a podcast? Listen to new episodes on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube today.
I accidentally saw the group chat where my bridesmaids were talking about me.
I wasn’t snooping. I swear.
One of my bridesmaids asked me to send her a photo from my phone. She swiped too far while I was standing right there.
And there it was.
A group chat I wasn’t in. Named: “Bridezilla Support”
Later that night, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I did the thing I know I shouldn’t have done. I asked another bridesmaid if there was a separate chat without me.
She sighed and said yes.
They started it because I’d been “too much lately.” Too stressed. Too emotional. Too focused on the wedding. They said they needed a space to vent so they could still “show up happy” around me.
Then she showed me screenshots.
Messages about how exhausting I am. Jokes about my budget panic. Comments about my body changing since dress fittings. One person even wrote, “I can’t wait until this is over so she can go back to normal.”
My wedding is in six weeks. Now I don’t know what hurts more. The things they said. Or knowing they said them together.
Help. What should I do?

Everyone on TikTok raves about these free at-home pilate workouts. I’m on day 4 of the 25 day challenge and my body shakes just thinking about pressing play. Great if you want a tough quick workout with minimal equipment.
If you need simple weights for workouts, these are the best.
These pants are my new favorite pants to wear. I will wear them every day until they fall apart.
I really love this song and I apologize if I already shared this one with you!
