I recently went to an out-of-state wedding of a relative. I accepted the offer to be a bridesmaid but 3 weeks before the wedding the bride informed me that I was going to be the maid of honor because the original girl had a baby. I had no choice but I informed the bride that I was going to do my hair and makeup myself because I couldn't afford to get it done. I had just paid for my plain tickets, hotel, dress, and shoes. The night of the rehearsal dinner the bride informed me that she made a hair appointment for me, herself, and her mom. She said it like I had no choice. I ended up paying $50 for a hairdo that I could have (easily) done in my hotel room and without a nagging, non-gentle hairstylist. I told her I didn't want to get my makeup done after that and she was upset.
Was I a jerk for not want to get my makeup done as well? She didn't force any of the other bridesmaids to get hair/makeup done. Also, her gift to the bridesmaids were $5 pearl necklaces from Claire's.
