I completely understand how you feel! I'm two years out from my wedding and starting to think about my wedding party and bridesmaids. People on these posts do jump to conclusions and judgements, but that's just the nature of the boards I guess. I think you are genuinely concerned about your friendship. It is alarming that she was so excited one minute and then flaking out the next. I would tread lightely and ease back into talking to her. Try to build up that trust and friendship and see if she opens up. She may have something bothering her that you are unaware of. Maybe she knows you're busy planning and doesn't want to bother you? Let her know you love her and are there for her. If she's a true friend, she'll come around. Good luck!
For starters, it stops being the bride's day once there's a groom. Then it's THEIR day.
Then, once they involve others, it ceases being THEIR day. They MUST take into account everyone else they involve. That means following etiquette, understanding personal tastes and doing what they can to make sure that everyone involved in the wedding enjoys themselves.
And it also stops being the bride and groom's day when it's years later and they're having a vow renewal and are no longer a bride or groom.

Kek, if you are still reading this, please stop giving advice. It's fine if you want to do things that are against etiquette (like passing off a vow renewal as a wedding...and presumably asking for gifts?) or treat your friends in a way most of us wouldn't choose to. But there's no need to lure other people over to the dark side.
Re: MOH Problems
That is one of the most over-used phrases here unfortunately and it feeds into a greedy sentiment.
