Bride Puts Down Her Friend’s Offer To Sing At Her Wedding

Relationships July, 10, 2025

Moreover, you may possibly don’t see it the way your friend sees it. As in this case here, a bride’s friend, who hopes to be a professional singer, offered the bride to let her sing the first dance song. She got this offer right after her boyfriend proposed to her. And as per the bride, she feels like her friend has a ‘gospel-lykinda voice’ and it’s pretty hard for her to tolerate her singing at that very moment. Moreover, she might not be as awful but the bride’s taste can be somewhat different.

She pretends to be supportive of her friend in this regard. But listening to her song clip makes her quite uncomfortable. Plus, in January, she had retweeted one of her song videos and assumed to be a big hit, which is totally absurd from OP’s view. So, the bride clearly stated: “She asked why I hadn’t asked her to sing at our wedding, and I answered honestly that I want her there in a friend’s capacity, not there to work. She then said she insisted on ‘gifting’ us the song to our first dance.”

AITA for not asking my singer friend to sing at our wedding/ refusing to allow her to ‘gift’ us her singing voice? from AmItheAsshole

The bride had her discussion with her fiancé and they agreed to decline this offer in the sweetest way possible. However, this didn’t seem to be alright for the singer. She was in despair and several other friends asked the bride if she could allow her to sing at the wedding. It made her look like a bad and selfish friend there.

Besides, other users seemed to be supporting the bride with the decision she made. A person stated that it becomes very easy for anyone to give some extraordinary advice when it isn’t their wedding. And if the bride doesn’t want her first dance song to be sung by someone whose voice, she doesn’t prefer at all, she can vent disapproval because it’s her special day.

Several others suggested that it didn’t come up as a ‘gift’ but rather as a way to seek everyone’s attention. One person explained that she wasn’t gifting her voice at the wedding, she just wanted the attention of the guests. Plus, it wasn’t for the couple but her benefit.

Another person commented that the couple has every right to go with their taste of music at their wedding. It wasn’t about the voice after all. If they didn’t prefer her style, it’s pretty normal to put down the offer.

Several people stood up in the bride’s favor and appreciated her effort in denying the offer. To conclude, if it’s someone’s wedding; they have the full authority to choose what they like and sift out the rest.
