High school bully bride seeks advice after bridesmaid roasts her at wedding.

While almost everyone can see that Regina George of &quot;Mean Girls&quot; is a classic, textbook bully...would you expect her lunch table clique to attend her future wedding one day?So, when a conflicted bride decided to consult the moral compass of the internet otherwise known as Reddit&#39;s &quot;Am I the As*hole&quot; about her bridesmaid&#39;s awkward wedding toast, people were quick to help deem a verdict.AITA (Am I the As*hole) for confronting a close friend after she recounted her bullying experience from me on my wedding day? I (28F) just recently got married last week. And from the title of this post, you can see that I am not really the best person. I have a close friend who we&#39;ll call Jana (28F). Jana and I have not always been friends.  In HS, I constantly teased her, calling her the nerd of the class cause I was an insecure as$ (she got really good grades). Maybe because I teased her, other people also started teasing her on her grades.  She had confronted me privately about this and I did stop teasing her after that since I got embarrassed. The class prolly thought that it was an old joke now and stopped too.  It was in college that we finally became close. We saw each other at a reunion and we realized that our universities were near. Since then, we regularly hung out and became close friends.  I invited her to my wedding as a bridesmaid and she gladly accepted. During the wedding toasts, she recounted the bullying she went through from me, saying &quot;I can&#39;t believe we&#39;re friends even though you bullied me all throughout high school.  I don&#39;t know if she was joking when she said that. I&#39;ve made my best effort to make it up to her and apologized time and time again. She accepted my apology each time, even laughing it off that I was overthinking. I thought we had finally put the past behind us.
