I’m Not in My Friends Wedding
Q: One of my best friends in the world is getting married. She didn’t ask me to be in her wedding and I am so pissed off. I can’t believe the people she choose, she doesn’t even like them! But she still wants me to come to her wedding and help out. I’m thinking of not going. Do you think I’m over reacting.
A: Yes.
I don’t understand why people get so huffy over weddings that they are willing to throw away friendships and family relationships.
Stop it right now. IT’S JUST A WEDDING!
It’s supposed to be about celebrating her vows, not who likes who and who has their name in the program.
She has a right to choose whoever she wants. People have their own reasons for picking bridesmaids. Sometimes it’s about appearance, sometimes they want to make people feel included, sometimes they are pressured into picking people.
If you were a true friend you’d be willing to help in any way that you can. Who cares if you don’t get to buy an expensive dress and walk down the aisle? Is that what friendship is about these days?
Write me when she tells you she doesn’t want you in the wedding because your butt would take up too much room in the pictures. Then I’ll support your tantrum.
In my opinion not being included in a best friend’s wedding is total crap. Apparently the person who answered this problem has never been dissed by a supposed BFF in this way. It is infuriating! It is disrespectful and rude. It makes you feel like you are being used. However, I have not made it clear to my friend that I am pissed. It is her wedding and I’m sure she knows that! You don’t want to be the one that added stress to the bride on her special f-ing princess day.
