A WEDDING guest has been left shocked after the bride-to-be told her to stay away from her big day due to her recent stillbirth.
The woman – who is due to walk down the aisle in a matter of weeks – told her friend it would "take attention off her" on her "special day" if she attended the ceremony.
In a post on Facebook group 'That's It I'm Wedding Shaming', the future bride's pal – who lost her baby two months ago – revealed that they'd just had a conversation over messenger on the social media site.
"This dumpster fire of a bride is getting married in early February and I would've been heavily pregnant as I was due at the end of February," wrote the guest, who is from Brisbane in Australia.
"But my daughter was stillborn in October."
"It's been a s****y time and both my partner and I are still just trying to get through each day and up until now everyone has been understanding and kind to us."
So let me get this straight. You don't want me at your wedding because the fact that my baby f***ing died might ruin your day.
The friend then proceeded to share screenshots of her conversation with the bride, who began the chat by asking if she was still planning on attending her wedding.
"I think maybe you shouldn't. I don't mean to be harsh but I thought you'd be over what happened by now," she said.
"But you cried today just because some lady had a baby and its just a bit dramatic and lots of people don't know yet because apparently you aren't ready to tell people."
The woman continued: "I'm trying to be as nice about this as I can but everyone will be asking why you aren't pregnant and I don't want them to be distracted from making me feel special.
What is stillbirth?
A stillbirth is when a baby is born dead after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy. It happens in around 1 in every 200 births in England.
If the baby dies before 24 completed weeks, it's known as a miscarriage or late foetal loss.
Some stillbirths are linked to complications with the placenta, a birth defect or with the mother's health. For others, no cause is found.

"What happened sucks but I thought you'd had long enough to get over it so it wouldn't be a problem."
Clearly shocked, the guest replied: "So let me get this straight. You don't want me at your wedding because the fact that my baby f***ing died might ruin your day."
The bride reiterated that she "just wants to be the most important person on the day" and encouraged her pal to announce the bad news on social media so that nobody will ask her at the wedding.
However, the friend decided to cut all ties instead, summing up with: "You know what… you enjoy your wedding without me.
What a colossal b****. Better off without that negativity in your life.
"I hope our friendship is worth all the attention you so desperately need you giant trash pile of a human."
The bride called her "selfish" before nastily writing: "It's been two months now, how much time do you really need? It's not like you knew her."
Social media users were furious at how the guest had been treated by her supposed-confidante.
One person wrote: "I can't express how much contempt I have for this woman. My warmest of love for you and strength to continue to heal."
Another commented: "Wow! Grieving is a process, different for everyone. What a colossal b****. Better off without that negativity in your life."
A third wanted her to send the messages to the bride's husband-to-be so he could "make a decision" about whether he actually wanted to marry her.
