Planning a wedding is no easy feat, and it often takes a team of people including the couple themselves and a professional wedding planner to make everything come together for the big day.
Sometimes, the bride or groom might call on some friends or family for help, such as the people selected for the best man or maid of honour roles in the wedding party, but most couples wouldn't expect their mates to drop everything to help them if they had more pressing things to attend to.
However, one bride recently decided to boot her maid of honour from her position after she deemed the woman hadn't helped out enough with the planning of her upcoming wedding - even though she had spent several weeks in hospital.

In a post on Reddit made by a woman who witnessed the sacking, she wrote: "I work in a bridal shop, and we very well might talk about [our customers], but only if you're super awesome or super terrible.
"We're much more likely to talk about the clients we love, but we got a doozy the other day. A bride kicked her friend, the maid of honour, out of the wedding party because she spent a few weeks in the hospital with a serious illness and couldn't help make wedding favours.
"Wedding. Favours.
"Our (awesome) manager waived the usual policy and gave the poor woman a refund [on her dress], but I just cannot fathom the level of narcissism necessary to pull that kind of shit on someone who you refer to as your best friend.
"Some people..."
One person said: "What a foul friend. I hope she didn't want to stay friends. People, you don't need people like this in your lives."
While another added: "That's lovely of your manager to do that. I hope the girl feels better soon and at least she knows how toxic her 'friend' is."
And a third wrote: "I was all prepared to support the bride, thinking that the maid of honour must have had a contagious illness or something, but that is just awful."
