BRIDE BOUGHT US EXPENSIVE BRIDESMAIDS’ DRESSES FOR HER WEDDING, AND THEN DEMANDED THAT WE PAY HER BACK! BUT KARMA IMMEDIATELY DID ITS JOB.
This wedding will go down in history.
Emily, the bride, bought the bridesmaids’ dresses herself—picked a very specific print to match her theme. We assumed it was her treat.
Mid-reception, while everyone was dancing and having fun, she pulled us aside and dropped this:
“Each dress cost $1,200. I’ll need you to reimburse me. Cash or transfer?”
We were stunned. None of us knew the price, and the dresses were so specific we’d never wear them again. The mood turned painfully awkward, and we reluctantly started opening our banking apps.
Then karma showed up—loudly.
Across the dance floor stood Emily’s brand-new husband… kissing another woman.
The music stopped. The room froze. The woman fled, claiming she didn’t know he was married. Emily’s dress money demand vanished instantly as she screamed at her husband while guests whispered and slowly left.
By the end of the night, Emily was sitting alone at the head table, mascara streaked, bills unpaid, and the bridesmaids’ “debt” completely forgotten.
The next day, she texted:
“Forget the dresses. I don’t care anymore.”
Two months later, at another engagement party, we all quietly showed up wearing those exact dresses.
Emily froze when she walked in.
Our group photo went online with one caption:
“$1,200 dresses — getting our money’s worth.”
And just like that, her scheme became our favorite inside joke.
