Today I was listening to the radio on the way to work.

My initial reaction was "I can't believe some one that shallow has many friends to be choosing"

Absolutely not-would I uninvite someone to be a part of my wedding (or not invite them in the first place) due to their weight. Friendship sees beyond physical and external factors, at least to me.
It sounds like she is trying to fudge on the real reason by saying it is to spare her friend's feelings because the other wedding partcipants are skinny. BS-that is not the real reason in my opinion. I am quite sure the friend in question is very aware of her weight and who's to say that she has a problem being around skinny people. Maybe she is really comfortable in her own body and with herself. I think the real problem is the shallowness of the bride who is concerned how it will "look" to have an overweight person in her bridal party.

What did the radio host or the callers have to say?

I would hope to never be a friend like that or have a friend like that. Or have my children involved with anyone who would do such a thing.

Why doesn't she go hire models then? I can't imagine how you could possibly uninvite someone because of their appearance. One thing I use as a barometer... how would I feel if someone did that to me?

That girl doesn't deserve to have any friends in the wedding, and I hope her future hubby knows how shallow his future bride really is.

I think she should have thought of this before she invited the person to be in her wedding.

Well, it would never happen here because I am heavy as well. But did she not know her size before she asked her? Do you ask sooooo far in advance that someone starts out a size 6 and when the wedding gets close she's a 16? I thought you chose your attendants because they meant something special to you. Friends and family. I didn't realize it was about who would look good in the pictures. There is no way on earth you can tell someone you are dumping them because they are fat and "not hurt their feelings". Get a grip. Either be prepared to lose a friend for a great photo, or suck it up and be adult and accept her as she is.

Why would she ask her and then decide she is too fat?
