I Broke My Nose 3-Weeks Before My Wedding.

Hi. I’m the bride. Three weeks from the wedding and currently going by the name Table Face.

This past weekend was my bachelorette in Nashville. Everything was going fine until Saturday night.

We went to a rooftop bar, it was super packed and pretty chaotic. My bridesmaid, let’s call her “Liv” has always been the wild one in our group. She's the friend who dances on tables and flirts with any guy who blinks at her.

She started dancing with this guy near the bar. At first it was funny, but I noticed him acting kind of sketchy? He kept looking back nervously over his shoulder…

That’s when I saw a girl glaring at us from a few feet away. Full-on dagger eyes. Definitely his girlfriend.

I pushed my way through the crowd and told Liv. She just laughed and said, “Not my fault she can’t keep her man in check.”

The girlfriend kept staring. I know I shouldn’t have, but I started giving her looks back. Nothing super aggressive, just subtle “what’s your problem?” glances …Definitely not helping the situation, but I was annoyed.

Liv could see the looks between me and the girls and the “girlfriend” and came to see what was going on.

Then it went from 0-100 real quick.

The girl stormed over and told Liv to back off. Liv snapped right back.

Drinks were thrown. A lot of yelling.

In the middle of everything, the girlfriend changed her focus to me. She grabbed me and then I felt a huge push. It wasn't even her. Liv tried to push me out of the way to get me away from the girlfriend. But instead, I completely lost my footing and went face-first, into the corner of a table.

Everything went blurry. There was this sharp crack and then blood. A lot of it. People around us were yelling and two of my bridesmaids dragged me outside while someone called an ambulance.

We spent six hours in the ER. I left with a broken nose, deep swelling, and racoon eyes.

Liv kept repeating herself saying she was trying to protect me and I just “got caught in the middle.” She says if she hadn’t stepped in, the girl probably would’ve punched me.

But like… Liv didn’t have to shove me. But I get what she was trying to do. And don’t get me wrong I know I shouldn’t have entertained the pissed off girlfriend with my “looks” too.

I have no clue what to do, my face doesn’t even look like mine.

My fiancé is livid. He wants Liv out of the bridal party. Says she’s careless and selfish and doesn’t think about consequences. But she’s been my best friend for years. I don't know if I’m mad at her, mad at myself, or just completely overwhelmed.

Should I cut her from the bridal party? Was she protecting me or just being reckless? I need brutal honesty.

I can’t imagine taking a table to the face. Been there though (minus the nose). Alcohol + emotions + bars never ends well.

Liv sounds like the kind of friend who’s fun until she isn’t. Yeah, she was trying to help, but she’s also the reason it popped off. i’d be pissed too tbh.
