- Scheduling a wedding can sometimes cause a conflict between old friends and family.
- Two women who have been friends for years are fighting over one's wedding which will be on the bridesmaid's 30th birthday.
- The bride took to Reddit to ask if she was wrong for scheduling her wedding on her friend's 30th, and she received a mixed response.
We all know weddings are the hardest event to plan, from making sure that you and your partner, your parents and family members are available on the same - it can get tricky.
On top of making sure the family is available and included, friends who are part of the wedding party are a concern too. One bridesmaid is upset with her friend, a bride, for hosting her wedding on the weekend she is meant to celebrate her 30th birthday.

Taking to Reddit, the bride asked users of the platform if she's wrong for hosting her wedding on her bridesmaid's 30th birthday weekend. She begins the story by saying she and her fiancé just set a date for their wedding and already booked a venue for 2024.
"We had to change the date because of a scheduling conflict with the best man so I figured that we would just move the wedding to the following Saturday," she shard.
The issue with this scheduling is that it is the bridesmaids birthday weekend and when the bride reached out jokingly to let the bridesmaid know things didn't go so well.

"I did not expect her response. She started off by making comments like, 'You better sing happy birthday to me and I expect a cupcake'," shared the bride.
However that wasn't the only thing the bridesmaid had to say as she later sent the bride a lengthy text message that read: "I guess it does hurt a little I don't want to be selfish or make you feel bad. I don't really feel like there is a way to say no. I guess I'm a little hurt because it's a huge birthday. It's gonna be my 30th and I was hoping to do something special for it."

The bride also wrote an edit where she said the venue offered the date to them and they didn't choose it personally. She also added that she has been friends with the bridesmaids for 20 years and in all those years, they have never made a big deal about their birthdays hence she joked about it because they both thought birthdays are ridiculous.
If the bride were to change the wedding date again to accommodate the bridesmaid she would lose some vendors.

Redditors took the comment section to share their divided opinions with some in support of the bride saying, "Some people are so precious with their birthdays, its a birthday, it's not as important as a wedding."
Another person also said, "I haven't had a birthday party since my teens, I'm not going to whine about it, because I am an adult."
Others called the bride out for rescheduling for the best man but not for the bridesmaid. "The groom cares about his people and you don't care about yours. You willingly moved your wedding for the best man and not your bridesmaid."
Another person who was in support of the bridesmaid added, "It's a milestone birthday, no one wants to spend a milestone birthday at someone else's wedding."
