Too far? Maid of honour asked to lose a STONE before pal’s wedding
There is a lot of pressure on women to look good on their big day, with a bridal culture which dictates looking your absolute best.
After all, those pictures are forever (hopefully).
Some women choose to lose weight for their trip down the aisle, but one bride is extending her diet and exercise policy to include her bridesmaids.
Sheena Malik is about to be the maid of honour at her bestie Ashley's wedding, and while Ashley is shedding the pounds for the big day, Sheena has been asked by the bride to do the same.
Ashley, who has already lost two-and-a-half stone in the lead up, has asked Sheena to drop 15 pounds to become a svelte maid of honour.
'Wedding photos are shared more now, so it’s important to look good,' Sheena, from Southern California, told the New York Post.
is it wrong to tell one (or more) of your bridesmaids you chose for your wedding that they have to lose weight for the your wedding?

We'd be a bit miffed if our bestie asked us to lose weight for her wedding, but apparently it's a thing.
Making no qualms about her request, Ashley said: 'I need everyone on board.'
'I want everyone to feel and look beautiful,' she reportedly explained to the NYP.
From fishtail braids to ombre dresses, there are plenty of wedding trends we can get behind, but we're not a fan of this one.
What do you think?
