AITA for asking all the girlfriends in my fiancé’s friend group to be my bridesmaids… except one of them?

Asshole

I (23F) got engaged on Christmas Day to my fiance Eric (25M). We’ve been together almost 4 years and living together basically since the begging. Sadly,I don’t really have close friends anymore- the friends I did have passed away in a car accident a couple years ago. So naturally, most of our social circle comes from my fiancé’s friend group, who have all know each other since kindergarten.

One of these friends, Tony, has a girlfriend “Alyssa” they are not engaged. She’s been in the group longer than I have, and when I first met her, i genuinely liked her. Over time she’s become…. A pick-me girl is the best way to describe it. Everything has to go her way, she constantly changes plans, and she contradicts everything I say. If I say red, she says blue. My fiance and I live 3 hours away from the group, so when we visit, we like to plan specific things - but she always ends up inserting herself and taking over. I always do my best to socialize with her because I know this friendship is important to Eric.

The real issue happened when Eric told the friend group he was planning to propose. Everyone was excited except Tony, who said nothing, not even a congrats. Later, we found out from another friend that Alyssa had made comments behind our backs saying I forced Eric into proposing, that he was “more fun” before he met me, and than I “have him on a dog collar.” It honestly hurt the both of us since I’ve always showed how much I love Eric and I trust my fiancé way too much to be toxic or jealous.

It’s been about a year since then. We’re having a long engagement so we’re not rushing wedding planning. Meanwhile, more girlfriends have joined the friend group, and most of them already know this whole drama with Alyssa (their boyfriends told them). They’re all super sweet, supportive, and we get along really well. Some of them were welcomed by Alyssa in very rude way so some don’t like her.

I’d genuinely love for all of them to be my bridesmaids…. Expect Alyssa. Why would I want someone so negative celebrating the best part of my life. I believe she crossed a line.

So would I be the asshole if I asked all the other girlfriends to be the bridesmaids but her? I also don’t want to create drama in a friend group that isn’t technically “mine” or for my fiancé to lose this friendship.
