I've posted a few times on here about friend fails during this wedding planning process.
Examples:
1) Shower hostess made me pay for invitations to shower
2) BP hostess invited girls to BP that aren't invited to wedding
3) 2 BMs had to drop out of WP due to financial reasons (not a big deal with one of them b/c she gave me plenty of notice, but the other one totally sucked)
This time... I went to lunch with a friend that I met through one of my BMs a couple years ago. FI calls her the "anti-friend" b/c she says some really obnoxious and rude things sometimes. She is one of those girls who thinks she knows everything about everything and makes sure to let everybody know that they're wrong when they disagree. This is all well and good for me, because I know how she is and most of the time, I just laugh at her when she's being like that. I find her outspoken ways entertaining because she says things I would never say to people. It's less entertaining when she says them to me, but I still just laugh it off. FI however, gets really offended by her because he can't ever tell the difference between her joking and being for real (TBH I can't always tell either).
Anyway, at lunch, she is talking about the reception and acting like she is going to be sitting next to BM who is her BFF. I told her that there was no way she could sit next to BM. She then said I should just stick her at the table with the WP... We're having a head table, so again, I tell her it's not possible. She then tells me that I need to go ahead and make her an "honorary BM" so that she can sit next to BM at the head table... seriously? I say "absolutely not". She then tells me that if she can't sit next to BM, she isn't coming to the wedding b/c she won't know anybody. I tried explaining to her that she would know people and I would make sure to sit her with people she knows. I aslo informed her that it wasn't like she would be tied down to her seat, she would be sitting there for dinner and the majority of the night would be spent on the dance floor. She still said "no, I'm not going if I can't sit by L". My reply was "there are things you can't do and there are things you can do, you can't sit next to L at dinner, you can choose not to come, that's up to you." and then I changed the subject.
Really?!?? Who says those kinds of things and tries to give somebody an ultimatum about their wedding? I've decided just not to talk to her about the wedding anymore. She can be as rude and obnoxious as she wants about everything else, but my wedding is more sensitive.
FI says I should uninvite her, but he is more interested in protecting me and my feelings than proper etiquette. I am just going to blow it off when I'm done with this fun little rant...
