I'm in total shock! My cousin who is also my very best friend in the whole world told me Wed. evening that she really can't afford to be in my wedding. After she told me I was like, "I understand, so maybe you could do a reading". But I think that was just b/c I was in shock. Later that night I called her after I had really thought about it trying to figure out what was really going on. She told me how much she loves me and how important I am to her and how important our friendship is to her but she just can't afford it. I offered to pay for her dress/shoes and she told me that I have enough to pay for and turned me down. She also mentioned that my sister is planning this extravagent bachelorette party and my other girls are 100% on board and it's just too much for her. So with that I told her that if the only reason why she didn't want to be in the wedding was because of the bachelorette party then she could skip the bachelorette party, that my actual wedding day was what is most important to me. She still refused. I told her to just think about it we still have 9 months. She told me her mind was made up, that she can't be the girl who only gives 50%. If she can't give 100% then she can't give anything. Just last month we went to buy my dress and she was all into being my bridesmaid.....if I didn't have a sister, I would've asked her to be my maid of honor. I can't figure out what happened. I'm not even mad. I'm just so hurt. I've been crying on/off since she told me 2 nights ago!! I need opinions/advice anything. Please.
