According to the post, “The bride-to-be (let’s call her Elly) has an ultra-strict and jealous fiance,” a dynamic the user felt described why Elly chose for a “short and mild” dinner instead of a lively bachelorette celebration.
Plans Change — and Trouble Begins
Following the quiet dinner, the Reddit user planned to head to a club with two companions, that includes someone she named Cloe. Unexpectedly, the bride-to-be decided to accompany them.
Inside the club, the tone changed rapidly. “Cloe dragged Elly over for shots, using the ‘it’s your last chance’ excuse,” the user remembered. Hours later, the situation became worse: “Three hours later, the two of them vanished. I was the only 100% sober person in our group, I don’t drink due to medical treatment.”
Shocking Discovery
When she went searching, she eventually discovered the missing duo and what she saw shocked her. Elly and Cloe were kissing, surrounded by men.
“Elly was cheating a few weeks before her wedding,” the post stated. “I physically pulled them away and we walked to find a taxi. That’s when the drama started.”
Confrontation on the Street
Once outside, the sober companion encountered the two women. She cautioned the bride that she was “risking her entire future,” and then called out Cloe for pulling Elly “into her own adventures without thinking about the consequences.”
Cloe retaliated, “attacked” the user verbally, and stated that she wasn’t a “true friend” for trying to prevent Elly from celebrating her final night of “fun.”
The Bride Turns on Her Friend
The user anticipated the bride to be embarrassed instead, she sided with Cloe.
As she mentioned, “She said I was at fault because I didn’t take care of her and stop her from giving in to temptation, since I was the one who wasn’t drinking,” adding that “[Elly] said I wasn’t a true friend because I didn’t ‘understand’ her.”
Was the Sober Friend Really Wrong?
The Reddit user then wondered whether she was out of line for refusing to act like the team’s “nanny,” for calling out Elly’s behavior, and for intervening when the bride jeopardized her own future.
But Reddit reactions overwhelmingly opted for her side. One summed it up, reminding her she was handling “full grown adults who made their own poor decisions. Make yours by walking away & getting new friends.”
