A bridesmaid has revealed how she took revenge on a bride who played a cruel trick on her on the day of the wedding.
The woman - a disabled veteran - was solely dependent on a walking stick at the time, unable to walk more than 10 feet maximum without assistance.
And while she was initially delighted to have been asked to join the bridal party, it didn't take long for her to realise her friend was a complete bridezilla.
"She made a couple of what she claimed were innocent comments about my walking stick. I offered multiple times not to be a bridemaid and would assist in any other way I could help. She refused every offer and insisted I had to be a bridesmaid," the anonymous woman shared in a Reddit post.
"Then I heard from another close friend (and also a bridesmaid) that she was very upset that I was insisting on using my walking stick. She made a comment saying that she was just going to hide it and then I would just have to go without it. Looking at the mutual friend's face when she said that she tried to laugh at off as a joke."
'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'
Sure enough, the wedding day rolls around and as the bridesmaid is having her hair and makeup done, her walking stick mysteriously disappears. "I was not happy, and told everyone I have to have it back," the bridesmaid recalled. "I cannot walk down the aisle without it. The bride insisted that they didn't know where it was and they looked everywhere and I was just going to have to make do.
"I said 'so after you joked about taking my walking stick it goes missing, and you want me to make do???' Her exact words were 'you'll just have to do what you can do to get up the aisle'."
It was then the woman decided to take her revenge. "I texted my boyfriend [and] he went out to the car and brought in a mobility scooter that I had rented just in case I needed it," she revealed.
"The bride who had been talking to her father and not paying attention did not see the scooter until she started to walk up the aisle and there are her three bridesmaids. Two standing tall and me sitting on the most hideous looking multicoloured sparkles mobility scooter I could find.
"If looks could kill she would have planted me," she said. "Within seconds of the ceremony ending my walking stick had been found. She and her new husband brought it over to me, and told me it had been found and I could get that god-awful scooter back out to the car.
"I mustered up a tear and told her I was so sorry but I was in so much pain from having to try to walk without my walking stick that there was no way I would be able to go without the scooter. I am very proud to say that the scooter is in over 90% of her wedding photos."
People flooded to the comments to show their support for the bridesmaid. "Good God! I thought I was petty, but I'm a mere peasant in the presence of Petty Greatness," one wrote in response. "*Backs mobility scooter into cake table* "Whoops!"" joked another. "I think you win the internet today," a third added, and a fourth enthused: "I salute your pettiness. Well done fine human. Excellent planning!"
