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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, my best friend of over 16 years is getting married. I was supposed to be her Maid of Honor. Instead I was uninvited a few weeks ago. 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
Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid.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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Whatever, that's just one more plate you don't have to pay for!:)

Yep. Weddings are expensive and she just made this one cheaper.

Yeah, that's what I don't understand. Weddings are expensive... For the couple getting married. Not so much for the guests, usually. What do you have to pay for, other than maybe a wedding present? And the cost of that is up to you, it doesn't have to be super expensive. So the "I'm not going to your wedding because it's too expensive" excuse just sounds like pure bullshit to me.

Congrats! But FYL. Oh well, "**** that bitch" She in no way deserved to be your bridesmaid anyway.

In what way are weddings expensive!? If she's a bridesmaid then she gets a dress for free and then just has to show up and eat free food

It depends on who the wedding is for. Some bridesmaids are expected to pay for their own dresses, regular attenders of the wedding could be asked to pay a contribution to the wedding to put towards expenses.

Actually, bridesmaids pay for their own dresses sometimes. I've had to pay for mine every time so far.

Being a good bridesmaid is expensive and a lot of hard work. You are there to support the bride and help with planning the wedding, engagement party, hens night, bridal shower etc. Most bridesmaids have to pay for their own dress, hair, makeup, shoes and accessories. I have been a bridesmaid, maid/matron of honour 5 times and I will never do it again. Too much stress.

OP didn't even get to tell her that she wanted her to be a bridesmaid yet. The "friend" was talking about expenses as if she was going to be the average attendee.

Definitely not how it works here. I had to buy a $300 dress, had to buy supplies to make decor, and spend $1500 on the bachlorette party trip... Pretty sure being a bridesmaid cost me over $2000.

Actually not always true. Every wedding I've been to the bridesmaids have to pay. I'm a bridesmaid in one coming up and have to pay for hair, makeup, the dress, shoes and a hens night and whatever else pops up. It does get expensive but it's worth it if you're close to the bride :)

Lol, as a maid of honor in an upcoming wedding i can tell you they are expensive. No, the dress isn't free - plus the hair, makeup, shoes, nails. And the time and expense of helping plan, throwing the bachelorette party, Jack and Jill, etc.

Yikes, here in the UK I've only known women to have a hen night, not a bridal shower and engagement party as well. if you're expected to fund that much, some of you have been taken advantage of rather!

Un-invite her to your birthday.

Congrats on getting married! But if she claims that you don't know each other well, then she doesn't deserve to go.
