Weddings, Marriage, Awkward and Miscellaneous: Bye Felicia!

Bye Felicia!

By NeedMoreFriends - 03/07/2015 10:30 - United Kingdom - Wakefield

Today, I rang up a good friend to ask her to be one of the two bridesmaids at my upcoming wedding. Before I could ask, she let me know that she would not be attending my wedding, as, "Weddings are expensive, so I'm not attending ones for people that are just acquaintances." FML

Today, I was told by one of my bridesmaids that she can't afford the travel costs to get to my wedding, after telling me that she didn't need me to organize alternate free travel for her. I'm getting married in less than two weeks. FML

Today, one of my closest friends informed me that she wasn't going to invite me to her wedding, because I'm too shy and not enough fun, and she doesn't want her 200 or so guests to feel uncomfortable. I was the one who set the happy couple up. FML

Today, an attention-seeking weirdo who thinks she's my friend asked me who was going to be the maid of honour at my wedding. Knowing what she was really asking, I said I just want a small, non-fancy wedding without bridesmaids. She broke down into a sobbing mess in front of me. FML

Today, I asked my best friend why she didn't ask our other best friend Anna to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. She said, "She's too pretty. I need ugly bridesmaids to make me look better." I am the maid of honor. FML

A day to remember

Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid. His brother tried to explain that they'd decided to make the ceremony for family members only, then two our classmates popped out to say hello. They're not related, neither to my friend nor to his fiancée. FML

Today, my best friend announced she was getting married. I've always wanted to be a bridesmaid but she then added, "You can't be in the bridal party because you don't have the same body type as the other bridesmaids. But you can still come to the bachelorette party!" FML

Today, a friend asked me if I could help him set up the stage for his wedding. Feeling honored that he considered me a close enough friend to aid him on his special day, I agreed to help. Turns out we aren't so close. I was asked to leave after I was done because I hadn't actually been invited. FML

Today, my best friend told me that I wasn't invited to her wedding, saying that I was too pretty and that I would outshine her at the ceremony. I laughed and said that she was being ridiculous. She eventually confessed the real reason why I wasn't invited: apparently I'm an annoying bitch. FML

Today, my best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistency". FML

Today, my sister backed out of my wedding because it was becoming too much about me. After I begged her to reconsider, I had no choice but to pick a new bridesmaid. When my new bridesmaid posted on Facebook how excited she was, my sister commented, "See, you made HER feel special." FML

If she says you're just "acquaintances" then she doesn't deserve to be in your wedding anyways. Oh! And congratulations!

Well, let her know you will not need her company any longer as you are "just acquaintances."

Good friend my ass...at least you weren't asking her to be your maid of honor...

Could it be she really does not have the $$$ to be in the wedding and is to embarrassed to say it. Making you mad is easier on her pride than petty and charity or worse you changing your wedding so she could afford it? BTW weddings are expensive as a bridesmaid.

Agreed! I'm also wondering if she maybe has a boyfriend/husband who told her to say it because of money issues?

OP hadn't gotten the chance to even tell her she wanted her to be a bridesmaid yet.

To be fair, she obviously wasn't embarrassed about not having enough money, because she specifically said the reason she didn't want to go to OP's wedding was that weddings are too expensive (aka: I don't have enough money in my budget for yours). Also, OP hadn't even asked her to be a bridesmaid yet, so she can't even use that as an excuse. Basically she was saying that being a regular guest (so bringing a single gift) would be too expensive.

She could have been a bit more diplomatic about turning down the invitation, but at least you know who your true friends are. Good luck with your wedding!

you just should have said that you wanted to uninvite her to your wedding.

Sorry your relationship was less valued by the other person than you thought. This rebuff doesn't have to end your friendship if you don't want it to. Apparently she didn't know what you were thinking and feeling. Good luck with the wedding. Makes sure your partner stays informed about what you're thinking and feeling!
