A best friend's wedding is a special event, especially when you're a bridesmaid. Sabrina Low found out that this role can genuinely test a relationship.
More and more women are choosing bridesmaids for their weddings, most often selecting friends, colleagues, sisters, or cousins. Sabrina Low was to be a bridesmaid for her friend, but two weeks before the wedding, she was asked not to attend. Why? The answer will surprise many people.
She was to be a bridesmaid. Two weeks before the wedding, she received shocking news
Sabrina Low is a Brazilian influencer. Her Instagram profile has over 87,000 followers. In an interview with The Mirror, she talked about being asked to leave one of her friends' weddings.
The influencer was supposed to be a bridesmaid and was very excited about the event. She bought a beautiful dress that cost over $435 CAD and paid for a hairstylist and makeup artist. Two weeks before the wedding, she received a message that changed everything.
"I never thought something like my weight could be an issue in a situation like this. It was very hard to accept that my presence could be seen in such a negative light, especially by someone I considered a close friend," she confessed.
She did not expect such behaviour
She was rejected because of her looks. She couldn't accept that this aspect could prevent her from participating in such an important event.
"It's alarming how ready people are to judge others based on their physical appearance," she explained.
Ultimately, the influencer did not attend the wedding. Later in the conversation, she admitted that she did not expect such behaviour from someone so close.
"This [situation has] made me rethink a lot about true friendship."
She appealed for people not to judge anyone based on their appearance.
"It's amazing how people feel entitled to judge someone else's body without thinking about the impact it can have on someone's self-esteem," she added.
