Amateur Florist
OP is an amateur floral artist. It’s not a business, but she makes floral centerpieces and arrangements for family and friends when the occasion calls.
A year ago, a close friend’s cousin, who she refers to as ‘Sadie,’ asked her to make some floral arrangements for the guest tables at her wedding. OP agreed, completed the centerpieces, and attended the wedding as invited, only to be caught off guard by the centerpieces on the bridal table, which she describes as “extravagant” and “stunning.”
When asked who made them, Sadie answered that she had made them herself, but knowing that she wouldn’t have the time to make a piece for every table, she had asked OP for the guest’s decorations.
She Felt Betrayed!
Claiming to feel “kind of betrayed,” seeing as the bride’s floral arrangements were more extravagant than her own. OP states that she messaged Sadie later that night to say that she felt her efforts were being “undermined” and that she should have been “upfront about the bridal table.” Sadie told OP that she was overstepping.
If OP was expecting sympathy and support from the internet, she certainly and completely unsurprisingly hasn’t received it. The top comment on the post eloquently summarizes OP’s egoism: “You’re b*tching about being upstaged at a wedding. By. The. Bride.”
Reddit Responds
Other commenters on the post agree that OP’s attitude is bizarrely self-centered. “It’s a wedding… it was always about the couple. What is even the issue here?” says one. “Honestly, posts like this make me seriously question OP’s sanity, self-awareness, or both,” says another.
A couple of people insightfully remark that OP’s account reads as immense jealousy over someone else performing well at her hobby and is not so upset about being “betrayed” than angry to see someone else succeed at a pursuit she thinks of as hers.
Either way, the immense narcissism of complaining to a bride on her wedding night, that her self-made floral arrangement was ‘upstaging’ the guest tables assuredly earns OP the badge of a**hole.
“Talk about wanting to be the center (piece) of attention,” one commenter remarks.
