So here is some background info: I have been friends with this girl lets call her Sally since 5th grade. We have been so close that she claims me as her sister. The last two years we haven't been as close with each other because we both went to separate colleges. When I got engaged she automatically told me she was my maid of honor no one else, when I told her that I was not having a maid of honor because I could not bring myself to choose one (it would hurt more feelings than it would help) she got pretty upset. I apologized and left it at that because if I did choose a maid of honor it would be one of my sisters not her.
Three months ago I told all the bridesmaids to go ahead and order their dresses. Well Sally came down one weekend and told me she would buy the dress so we went to David's Bridal, she tried it on and they got all her information but when it came time for her to actually buy the dress she explained that she spent over $200 at MAC so she didn't have any money for the dress that weekend. I didn't worry about it because it was still quite a while till the wedding. Fast forward to two weeks ago, I had been reminding her every so often that she really needed to buy the dress and she assured me she would. Invitations went out and somehow hers got lost in the mail and I did not get returned to me. Well she then sent me a message asking about her invite and I explained that I mailed it and it should be there soon then she proceeded to tell me how me not hand delivering her invite made her feel like a distant relative and she was far more important than that WTF? Then she throws in oh and I called David's Bridal and my dress wont get here in time so I won't be a bridesmaid, well DUH! That's why I told everyone to order three months ago. So I told her that sucked but I still wanted her at the wedding because she is a very important person to me after which she tells me she wont be able to make it to the wedding because she is not in full support of the marriage! So again I left it at that.
Then Last week she texted me and asked what the dress code was. Silly me assumed she meant the bridal shower that was on Saturday so I told her the dress code for that and she sent a rude message back saying "No that's dumb I'm not going to that I meant the wedding and I'm allowed a plus one right?"
I was so shocked and pissed off that I didn't even respond. Seriously I am just so appalled that after she told me she doesn't support my marriage she wants to now bring a date? I didn't really believe that weddings change people but now I am sad to say that I really do see it.
And that is the end of my sob story now I will get back to doing productive things
Thank you ladies for letting me vent to you and sorry this was so long.
