Hi all,
I need some advice desperately. My best friend and I are both getting married this year and will be each other's maid of honor. We planned her bachelorette party, which will be this April in Miami months ago and already booked the plane tickets (non refundable) and we planned to stay at her fiance's parents time share.
At the time, I did not know the date of another good friend's wedding (from college, my MOH is from my hometown) was that same weekend. I just realized this yesterday when checking my calendar while on the phone with my best friend. She was really upset, understandably so.
I told her I would think of a compromise (e.g. we fly into Miami Friday morning and my friend's wedding is Saturday night; so I would come for one night and leave the next day). She does not want to compromise. She said I'm her MOH and I need to be there - it's either the whole time or not. She also made it clear the tickets are non refundable/we can't switch dates.
We are getting together tomorrow and I need to talk to her about it. I essentially have to choose either my good friend's wedding or her bachelorette. And if I choose the wedding, it won't be pretty. But, I would certainly regret not being there for my good friend of almost ten years.
Help! What do you all think?
