Right, ignoring all logic. Like the logic that she needed to wait until after she had her friend who she knows loves her come along shopping for the wedding and until right after the ceremony to reveal everything and tell her that she needs to move on? Because that's where people are getting the cruel adjective from.
Someone already explained why this is wrong like last page.
The cultural context of families making their children feel obligated to marry people they don't want to marry is where people are getting the tired and cliched adjectives from.
And it's something that is still an issue there so why is that even relevant?
I wasn't aware that someone offering an explanation meant that anyone who disagreed was wrong. That said, which explanation are we talking about: the one where the Bride didn't want Fleur ruining the wedding if she told her before (how selfless of her to make her friend suffer for the sake of her wedding, and how smart of her to not tell her well before so that such a thing wouldn't be a risk), or the one where the Bride somehow didn't think that watching the person you love get married (and taking part in the wedding preparations and being a bridesmaid) might be difficult?
And, of course, it's relevant because it still being a thing doesn't somehow make it less tired and cliched in a story.
