Dear Snarky,
I’m writing you because I’m too embarrassed to actually share this thought with anyone I know. But I think I’m being a bit of a bridezilla. 18 months ago I asked one my best friend to be in my wedding and now I want to de-ask her. The reason is because she’s now gorgeous and honestly I’m afraid she’ll be the center of attention at my wedding and I won’t.
Last year my friend got a new nose, new boobs and lost a lot of weight. The end result is that anyone that’s sees her goes batshit crazy over how stunning she now is. I know this makes me sounds like a horrible person but I’m 100 percent certain if she’s a bridesmaid all the wedding talk will be about her and how beautiful she now is.
I want my wedding to be perfect and all about me is there a nice way to tell a friend you no longer want them in your wedding?
Signed, It’s My Big Day
Dear Big Day,
The short answer is NO there is not a single kind way to tell one of your “best friends” that you no longer want them in your wedding because you’re now extremely jealous of them. And my advice, which I hope you take, is that you’re not going to kick your now beautiful friend out of your wedding.
What I want you to do is get your raging jealousy under control, which I know will be no small task, and start thinking like a woman who loves her friends even when they have a major glow up.
Remind yourself that you’re the bride. A woman in a huge white dress that no matter how attractive your wedding party is will still be the center of attention. This I promise you.
Now, what you can do besides irrevocably killing a friendship and make tossing a bridesmaid out of your wedding a juicy topic of discussion is grow up. Out of the eight billion or so people that live on planet Earth there’s always going to be someone one prettier, smarter, richer etc. etc. Your I won’t be the “center of attention” fears are childish and you know it.
So, relax your death grip on this whole “look at me” tsunami you have going on in your head and think about the big picture – your marriage – not being the center of attention.

Looking to escape the drama and relax with a fabulous summer read? Well, look no further than the my latest book KILLER DANCE MOM! 😍
Click on this Amazon link to take a lookie loo www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4FZTK5B. But if your thumb is weary of clicking here’s a teaser of the fun that awaits you.
Wynn Butler is a newbie dance mom and honestly, she hasn’t exactly been receiving rave reviews for her skills. Blinging out costumes and being your child’s glam squad aren’t exactly her strong suits. But at her daughter’s first national competition Wynn is ready to prove herself.
What she hadn’t planned for is being forced to share a hotel room with her least favorite person in the whole world – Jacardia Monroe, a mom who’s had two tours of duty at a spray tan detox clinic.
As Wynn attempts to survive the roommate from hell and cheer on her daughter, she stumbles onto a murder. Stuffed in a dance bag backstage is Kingston Reeves, a renowned competition judge. Sitting right next to that dance bag is Jacardia.
When both women became “persons of interest” in the case, Wynn decides it’s time to do some serious snooping to see who at the competition had a motive to kill the dance judge. Rallying her best friends to help her, she discovers a wide swath of suspects from the Instagram/influencer mom who brings a professional camera crew to follow her at competitions, to a crazed former ballerina turned combative dance mom and then there’s the glitter gang . . . a cadre of mothers who are addicted to rhinestoning costumes and perhaps even murder.
As Wynn gets closer to finding out who the killer is she might be one step-ball-change away from death.
