A woman has revealed that her friend kicked her out of her bridal party and uninvited her from her wedding just five days before the event.
The unnamed woman took to Reddit to reveal that she was ecstatic when her friend of 30 years asked her to be a bridesmaid.
She revealed that she poured her all into the party planning and organizing of events and even forked over a ton of cash to make her best pal's day special.
The woman revealed that she had flown to Australia for the wedding and that she and the rest of the bridal party arrived a few days early to spend time together and prepare.
The beginning of the trip was going perfectly.
However, things quickly turned sour when the woman decided to spend one of the five days alone.
Her need for some independence sparked a fierce argument that led to her being axed as a bridesmaid.
The woman was even uninvited from her friend's wedding and forced to fly all the way back to America alone.

She shared the post in a thread titled, Wedding Drama.
It was titled: 'Getting kicked out of the bridal party.'
She explained: 'Five days before the wedding, I was kicked out as being a bridesmaid. I have known the bride and the bridal party for more than 30 years.
'I literally still have no words especially after I flew from America to Australia, and bought all the bridesmaid's dresses, flower girl dresses, and evening clutch. And never heard a word from them since. It’s been over a week.
'I got back to America got all my receipts together along with a letter requesting payment for everything I bought for a wedding I was uninvited to and mailed it.'
The woman detailed the rest of the situation in the comments section of the post.
She added: 'Well I arrived at my destination after a 30-hour flight including layovers and connecting. Day one - I was around the bride-to-be. Day two - I chilled at my hotel and had one of my friends visit and she and I did poolside and then I went over to bride-to-be as well as the maid of honor who arrived.
'Day three - I was around the bride and maid of honor and later that day I was with the other bridesmaid. So now all four of us are together, catching up, I was excited I hadn’t seen them in years, all good.'

However their fun-filled trip went south as the days went by.
'Day four - We hung out all day together and did things. Day five - We had a funeral service for a friend we all grew up with and after that I was catching up with friends we went to high school with for a late lunch and after all that I went back to the bride-to-be’s place before I called it a night and went back to my hotel.
'Day six - We four ladies all hung out and did our final dress fittings so on and so forth. Called it a night and went back to my hotel. Day seven - We really didn’t have any plans as in the four of us ladies doing anything, so obviously lunch was not happening as one of the ladies was hungover anyway, so I went ahead and did my own thing by myself and did some shopping and went to see all the Australian animals to hold and take pics with as it would have been pretty much the only day I had some time to myself and did things.
'Well I guess it was the wrong thing to do and it seemed like I was supposed to stay at the bride-to-be’s place or have permission to do something, I mean we are in our 40s,' she noted.
Her adventure ended up being a grave mistake.
Because of her outing, the bride ditched her and told her to fly back to America, ending their friendship.
She added: 'In the end, she replaced me with the person she always mentioned. I’m still so dumbfounded about why they did this to me.
'I have been with her and the others since I arrived and all on little to no sleep, still trying to adjust to being international, but I have apparently been doing wrong. I don’t get it.'
People on the web flooded the comments section and slammed the bride-to-be for her behavior
People on the web flooded the comments section and slammed the bride-to-be for her behavior.
One person said: 'You literally flew to the other side of the planet to be with your friend! She sounds like someone who’s 14, not 40.'
Another user commented: 'She needs to reimburse you for the money you spent on dresses and alterations. She should reimburse you for everything and you may not have traveled so far as a regular guest.
'This woman is not your friend, booting you from the bridal party when you traveled internationally is a friendship-ending event.'
Someone else wrote: 'I’d get a lawyer.'
