So my friend told me how her BFF was getting married in Paris this spring. Neither she not her Fiancé are French,nor do they have any ties there. Her Fiancé has a couple of cousins who happen to live there, but that's about it. My friend was annoyed because obviously that would be an expensive trip to take, and she was (at the time) planning on getting married this October. But whatever, to each their own, nothing wrong with getting married in France if you want.
Fast forward a few months later and it is their birthday week. I went out for my friends bday and the BFF was there- they tend to have joint parties. Well I find out that the BFF got married earlier that day, they went to City Hall, and my friend was a witness. So I'm thinking awesome, the chick came to her senses! She told me that She was losing her health insurance, and their daughter is under hers, therefore they got married so that she could go under his insurance, or something along those lines.
So a few days later I'm talking to my friend and come to find out- they are still planning on having their "wedding" in Paris!!!! They have a wedding website that my friend showed me with the information. They were kind enough to put flight price info- at the time, a few weeks ago, round trip tickets from NYC to Paris were $1,500.00. They are also staying there for about 3 weeks and are planning to go to other parts of France, I think Spain, and then Florida before coming home. They have an itinerary in case guests want to join.
My friend doesn't think she can go and was asking me if I thought it would be wrong on her part not to attend. I told her that she already went to their wedding, was a part of it, and that it would be ridiculous to go to Paris for their "party."
Now, I know all the close friends know because they were all celebrating that night at the party. But this chicks relationship status still says "engaged" on FB, and the day before she got married she posted some crap about her fab life and family, how she said yes to the dress (this one was a different status actually, but whatever), and that she's so excited to be planning her "dream wedding to the man I adore next year."
Um NO. You had your wedding in November, yet you refuse to acknowledge it publicly. No pictures, statuses, nothing. And you're making your friends and family travel thousands of miles and pay thousands of dollars on a flight to watch you and your husband put on this elaborate performance. No, just NO.
