After sharing the story, Reddit users raced forward with their thoughts. Most commonly? People can’t fathom the idea of someone having a size restriction for their wedding.
“Telling people to hit the gym to fit into their specific dress is just… I can’t even come up with words.”

“Not only is this blatant fat-hating but they just assume everyone else can fit a size 8 properly? Hell, even when someone’s close to a particular size, different manufacturers’ stuff will fit bodies differently, so there’s going to need to be some basic fitting done!”

“Not to mention bridal wear typically fits a size smaller, so even if these ladies got down to a standard size 8, the dresses might still be too small.”

“Can she just get a bunch of mannequins from the mall as bridesmaids instead? That’s basically what she’s demanding they act as.”
