The woman, who only revealed that she is 27-year-old and goes by the name throwittothewolves60 on the forum, claimed she and her friend was asked to be their best friend's bridesmaids, but the bride turned around and dumped them from her bridal party when she saw what they looked like in their dresses.

"I just discovered that my (27F) friend (28F) removed me and another friend (27F) as bridesmaids because she didn't like how our dark skin looked in the bridesmaid dresses," she said on the thread.

She also revealed that she was initially told she could not be bridesmaid as there weren't enough groomsmen, but she soon found out the real truth.

"A month after the wedding, one of the bridesmaids was venting to me about how the bride still hadn't paid for the catering that her boyfriend did and how angry she was about it," she said.

"During this conversation, she casually lets it slip that the real reason we were removed from the wedding was because I (South Asian) and my friend (Black) had dark skin, and she preferred how the dresses looked on pale skin. I still haven't told the other removed bridesmaid about this revelation."

People on Reddit rushed to vent their anger at the bride for removing two of her bridesmaids at the last minute.

"Well at least you know how superficial this woman is before you waste any more of your energy on her," one commenter said.

"The fact that this even went through her mind is sickening. I would never EVER have this thought run across my mind. Friends are valued," another said.
