It sounds like you did the right move by cutting your losses here and just letting the "sometime friend" off the hook.<br /><br />This is cliche, and apologies for that, but you're also an enormously strong person. Definitely that is an excellent trait for all things in life, and especially the marriage you've just embarked on. I wish you all the best in everything to come.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468279200135971946.post-65924943693263168022013-09-11T15:21:58.997-07:002013-09-11T15:21:58.997-07:00I got married on Saturday and had a similar situat...I got married on Saturday and had a similar situation with a supposedly close friend (I didn't have bridesmaids-thank god). I knew by letting her off the hook of attending, after she told me she was bleeding money, uncomfortable in the heat because of her pregnancy, and then had left me with a $600 bill for the hotel room she cancelled that I couldn't fill, it would likely be the end of our friendship. I fretted over it for days, but as she became more and more mean and selfish and, upon the recommendation of my now husband and all of my other friends who have never understood what I saw in her, I decided it was best to let her go. Strangely she almost fought me on it, even though it seemed like she had no interest in coming. <br /><br />The weekend felt so much better without her there. She wouldn't have enjoyed herself the way everyone else did. I would have worried about her and her husband's comfort. I feel confident that I made the right decision and that I don't need her as a friend. Those who are my truest of friends were there to put the flowers out, bring me a sandwich while I was getting ready, and break into my house to get my husband's gift that was left behind. <br /><br />There certainly is a fine line between being some bridezilla bitch and nixing people for not following your silly bride requests, and making a rational choice to surround yourself with love. Sometimes big events like weddings bring out the lameness in people and you're better of without them. It sounds like you followed your gut and how good you feel about it now is exactly how I feel. A lovely sense of relief.<br /><br />The fact that you were able to go through with everything the day after losing your brother is amazing. I don't know how you did it.<br /><br />Congratulations. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
