One of the most disturbing articles I've read in a long time

I find it hard to believe that 1) that a bride would ask this of her friends and 2) that if asked the friends wouldn't beat the s...t out of their supposed friend, the bride. Am I overreacting?

It’s Botox for You, Dear Bridesmaids

If you are overreacting, I am too; I spent at least 15 minutes ranting about this to a coworker yesterday morning.

I suppose, stretching a point, that if you knew a really close friend was already seriously considering this on their own account, you MIGHT say "hey, I'm gonna do it before the wedding and I could really use the moral support, so if you want to go in with me I'll pick up the tab." I wouldn't, but I guess I can sort of see it if I squint. However "hey, guys, I expect you to spend $1200 to get rid of your facial expressions because it's my big day?" So much no.
