One of my best friends is upset she wasn't the one standing next to me on my wedding day even though she was one of the maids of honor. However, she was standing next to me during our private ceremony right before the actual wedding. (she never mentioned being appreciated for being chosen for that part.) She was upset when she found out about this a few weeks before but didn't directly bring it up to me. Now it's two months AFTER the wedding and she emailed me saying I hurt her feelings. She feels I'm being a bad friend for not realizing how hurt her feelings were before hand and she feels like I should have spent more time talking to her before about what the plans were for her during the two ceremonies. I feel exasperated at this point because there isn't much I can do now and I'm also frustrated because I had so much going on leading up to the wedding, it was easy to overlook some things, even i tried the best i could to make sure everyone felt apart of the wedding. (my birthday was two days before her wedding and she totally forgot about it, my feelings were hurt but I understood she had a lot on her mind, so why not some of the same understanding???) So now she feels that since she told me how upset she is that I should somehow fix the situation and apologize. Even though I never meant to hurt her feelings and she stood next to me during the private ceremony should I still have to apologize to her??? |
