But it was certainly not what she got.the cousin in question took to Reddit to air out her frustration caused by her cousin who tried to guilt-trip her into being a bridesmaid at her wedding – something she was within her rights to turn down.

"Hey, sorry it’s last minute but as you know my wedding is on the 20th of this month," the bride wrote, before explaining a bridesmaid"backed out" and asked if she could"fill in", wrote the bride-to-be in the first seemingly decent text. First, she tried to guilt-trip her cousin into joining the wedding party by pulling the “we’re family, you can’t say no” card, completely ignoring the fact that her cousin had said it would make her feel uncomfortable.
