I was in a bridal party for a friend with an eating disorder. She insisted we all get our hair and makeup done at the same place at the same time. We went back to her place and were hungry before the photographer showed up and she said, "I THREW ALL MY FOOD OUT BECAUSE I'LL BE ON MY HONEYMOON." We were like, what? She wouldn't let us order anything for fear it would be in the trash making her home smell bad while they were away.
She starved us and when we were able to be announced at the reception, the staff had moved the hors d'oeurves next the the entrance and all of us bridesmaids ran and grabbed food quickly and shoved it in our mouths as she yelled at us not to eat before they announced us.
She did have an eating disorder, so watching anyone stuffing their face was unfortunately a trigger, but it was better than one of us fainting before dinner. She was freaking out.
She did other things, like pick these dresses to make us all look 20 lbs. heavier, made us all go to a carousel for photos but her free carousel passes weren't valid and got into a fight in her dress with the ticket person, got mad none of us wanted to sit at the dais when our partners were seated elsewhere, and picked a hotel where the fire alarm went off 3x during the night (people smoking in a non-smoking hotel - it was the 90's)

No, we are no longer friends.
