I (30F) am the maid of honor for my sister (32F)'s wedding. We’re planning a bachelorette weekend in Vegas since my sister has never been before and has always wanted to go. We plan to be out of the hotel as much as possible, making the most of our trip.

One of the bridesmaids (28F) recently asked in the groupchat about accommodations for her dog, a fifty-pound Australian shepherd.

I was confused…she wanted to bring her dog?

The bridesmaid said the dog was an ESA (emotional support animal) and that she likes to have her dog there on planes (we live on the east coast and will be flying to Vegas).

We literally flew to Istanbul together not six months ago without this dog and there was no issue whatsoever. And when we get to Vegas, does she plan on just…keeping her dog all cooped up in her crate the entire time?! The hotel we’re booking does have dog-friendly rooms, but doesn’t allow pets to roam freely around the hotel room unsupervised - the dog would have to stay in that crate for god-knows-how-long each day. That can’t be great for the dog. On top of that, our other younger sister coming on the trip is very allergic to dogs. We don’t have the money to just let this one bridesmaid book her own room for just herself and the dog to prevent my younger sister having an allergic reaction. Unless this bridesmaid was willing to pay for a room herself, I told her she couldn’t bring her dog on this trip.

I thought that was going to be the end of it, since this was definitely reasonable on my part (in my opinion), but this bridesmaid is now being super pissy with me and saying how it’s sooo wrong and horrible of me not to let her bring her ESA. Bearing in mind she’s been absolutely fine without the dog in the past on much longer flights. Bearing in mind I even told her she could bring the dog IF she was able to pay for a room of her own so that my sister doesn’t have a reaction.

Reddit, please just put this one to bed. Am I the asshole here?
