Today, my best friend told me she's been in love with me for over 4 years. I'm getting married to the man of my dreams in a month and she's supposed to be my bridesmaid. "Awkward" doesn't even begin to describe our friendship right now. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé's best friend, who will be our best man at our wedding, decided to confess his feelings for me and tell me how he's always dreamed of us eloping together. The wedding is going to be awkward. FML
Today, I get to see my best friend and love of my life of two years marry the man she loves. Back then, I lied and told her I was gay to avoid her finding out my feelings for her. FML
Today, I watched my best friend get married to the guy I have been in love with since the eighth grade. I was the maid of honor, and had to give a toast to the couple. FML
Today, for the first time, I hugged the man I have been in love with for four years. It was a congratulatory hug at his wedding to my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML
Today, it was my best friend's wedding. The night ended with her in tears outside her hotel suite, where she confessed that she has a serious crush on me. I have a serious crush on her too. We're both straight women. I'm really confused. FML
Today, the love of my life said, "You’d make a great husband! Whoever marries you in the future is gonna be so happy!" We’ve been together for 4 years and was planning to propose on her birthday in two weeks. FML
Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. FML
Today, my best friend confessed to having feelings for me. I've been in love with her for a long time, so I was ecstatic. She doesn't see herself ever going out with me, though, because she's a couple of inches taller and can't imagine herself "towering" over her man. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML

Wow she just picked the perfect freaking time to tell you that... Sorry you have to go through this right before your wedding, OP.

I'm betting the hubby would love it, if she joined them for a 3some.

Bad timing, but just explain to her that you're very happy in your relationship and that you value her as a friend. Hope it all works out, OP!

Try to move pass it, you guys have to be friends longer than 4 years, so take this as it is and be there for each other in the future. If you guys are meant to be friends in the long term, you both will get past it

There's actually no mention of how this came about so saying the friend was selfish may be jumping the gun a bit. Another possibility is that she never mentioned it before coz she knew it was never going anywhere but was hurting about the wedding and OP could see she wasn't happy, so asked. We don't know enough about the context to know whether anyone was selfish.

You know what, instead of writing about it here, go to your friend and tell her that you're honored that she had such feelings for you, but that you can't return them. Tell them that you care for her as a friend, and nothing more. Ask her what she needs (if she wants to opt out of the wedding). Be her friend and be a grown up about it. I took so many guts to admit what she did.

I really feel for you both. She picked an awful time to tell you, but she probably thought that telling you before the wedding was preferable to telling you afterwards. I hope you manage to overcome it and remain friends, and I hope she's able to move on and fall in love with someone who will return her feelings. Congrats on the wedding though!

This was my thought as well. It's a selfish and terrible time to speak up (should have been done long before, or not at all), but from the friend's perspective, she may have seen it as her last opportunity to say anything, ever. (Speak now or forever hold your peace, as the saying goes...) And if the bride had been marrying because it was expected of her, or was a closeted lesbian or bi-girl herself and never had the opportunity to come out, it might have worked. Unfortunately for the friend, the bride seems to be very happy to be marrying her future husband. And that makes it a painful and awkward situation for everyone involved. Sorry, OP - you're in a difficult situation. Best of luck with your marriage! ربنا يسعدكو ويهنيكو

Take care of her, she's still your friend. Good luck to the both of you!

You don't determine how good of a friend is based on how much time you've spent with them. You determine it with how much stuff you two have done together in that time

Um.. Did she think that would change your mind and you would be like "Oh! Good..I'm gay too! Callin off the wedding!..".. There was no point in telling you that.. Zero. I feel sorry you have to deal with that now. :/

And that's what happens when you friendzone someone arbitrarily. It bites you in the ass.

How can you friendzone someone if you have no idea that they even like you? And you're going to "friendzone" everyone if you're in a relationship.
