A man has been accused of ruining one of his friend's weddings by attempting to help out his own partner.
The crime that the man committed? Taking her for a dance once the floor was opened up.
Try and control your anger, ladies and gentlemen, while you read this piece.
The original post appeared on the popular Reddit page AmITheAsshole during the week.
The user explained how the situation first unfolded, writing: "Last weekend, my girlfriend and I went to a friend's wedding. My GF had recently broken her foot so she was in a boot and crutches for the wedding which really bummed her out because she loves to dance and would be sitting the whole night.
"When the newlyweds opened up the dance floor to everyone, my GF was noticeably sad and of course, I stayed with her. About 30 minutes in, one of our favorite songs start playing from when we were young.
"Seeing how bummed she was, I decided to pick her up and "dance" with her by carrying her and we stayed next to our table (which was in the back). The dance only lasted about 60 seconds as I got tired and I put her down."
Seems like a lovely gesture right?
Well, not according to the blushing bride.
The post continues
"The next day, our phones get tons of messages from the bride saying we're terrible friends for "stealing her spotlight" with my "stunt". We had no idea what she was talking about until we checked social media and there were photos and videos of me carrying my GF and "dancing" to the song. It was mixed with other photos from the wedding too, mainly of the bride and groom.
"According to the bride, it was all her family could talk about the next day, about how romantic it was and saying things like "that's real love". I didn't realize how much attention we had drawn in that short amount of time. I feel bad for drawing away attention but I don't feel bad for trying to cheer up my GF. My GF says I did nothing wrong and that the bride has always been dramatic.
"Right now, the bride's closest friends are saying we're terrible people while most people say we did nothing wrong."
People were quick to leap to the posters defence in the comments.
"What a bunch of entitled, selfish assholes. Sounds like it's time for you to get a whole new set of friends.
"Bridezilla needs to chill. The wedding couldn't have been THAT great if the most exciting thing to come of it was you whirling your injured girlfriend around to NSYNC in the back of the room....That's cute but that definitely isn't viral worthy unless the wedding itself was truly forgettable"
"Couples can be couples, even / especially at a wedding. As long as you don’t propose / announce an engagement / announce a pregnancy at the wedding, you didn’t “steal the spotlight.”
