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

I remember being blindsided when a friend asked me to dye my hair a different colour and take out my nose ring for her big day, and you know what, I told her so. I said, "This is who I am, this is the person you are friends with and have always been friends with. Know I love you to death and I want nothing more than to be in your wedding party, but it really hurts me to know that you essentially want me to be someone else for your big day." That said, I kept my nose ring and red hair and no one said a peep. I suspect they were much more aghast about the drunken best man.

I'm glad it didn't break up your friendship...how did she react when you told her you wouldn't do it? (obviously she relented but was she at least embarrassed? She should have been)

Heeheehee.

Seriously, though? If she didn't want your "look" in the wedding that badly, she should have just asked someone else.
