A woman recently headed to a popular online forum to discuss her best friend’s wedding date change and the fact she was planning on being in the wedding – but no one told her.
She Always Planned on Being a Bridesmaid at Her Friend’s Wedding
“So I (23f) was supposed to be a bridesmaid in my best friend’s (29f) wedding. I’ve known her and her family for over ten years, we met in middle school, and I’ve been ‘adopted’ by them ever since.
She’s Known the Fiancé Just As Long as Her Bestie
“I have also known her fiancé (31m) and his family simultaneously. We are all close and have all been together since I was in middle school. In total, about 8 of us are in the friend group, and we all were to be a part of the wedding.”
The Bride Locked in the Wedding Date
“She started all the planning in March of last year. The wedding was supposed to be in October of this year. I had been helping with planning, decorating, and helping her pick out her wedding dress.”
She Picked Up Another Job, so She Wasn’t Around As Much To Help With Wedding Plans
“Near the end of last year, I had to get a second job, so I couldn’t help out as much as before. I was still involved with helping and going to places with the other bridesmaids, but just not as often.”
She Even Planned the Bachelorette Trip
“We were planning the bachelorette trip for this summer, and we all wanted to surprise her with a special trip in honor of her father, who passed away five years ago.”
Then, She Got an Odd Notification
“Last month, while I was at work, I got a notification that the groom’s sister had made a post about the wedding. She congratulated the two of them for getting married with a video of them all getting ready for the wedding. I was confused, thinking maybe I had missed something.”
She Knew Nothing About a Wedding Date Change
“I went through all the messages and found nothing of the date being changed. Then the groom’s mother did a livestream of the wedding. I watched it thinking maybe they had just wanted to do a small ceremony for family only. But there were so many people there, some I didn’t even recognize.”
She’s Heartbroken Over Her Own Wedding No-Show
“I feel heartbroken that they had the wedding without me. But when I told my mom about it, she said I was just overreacting and needed to stop being mad at her.”
She’s Now Avoiding Everyone at the Wedding at All Costs
“It’s been almost a month, and I have been avoiding everyone from the wedding party, including both sides of their family. I have yet to answer any texts or phone calls. AITA for ignoring them all?”
The Readers Weighed In – They Were Confused
“Sorry, this just doesn’t add up to me. Changing a large wedding at such short notice, while not impossible, would be challenging and expensive. Also, many components are challenging to switch without you noticing, even if you were tangentially involved. NTA, but I’m highly skeptical of the whole thing.”
A No-Show Bridesmaid, and No One Texted Her
“No one texted a missing bridesmaid the morning of the wedding to find out why she hasn’t shown up?”
Not Important Means NTA
“NTA, she showed you that you aren’t an important part of her life. You’re just doing what she wanted you to do and move on. I don’t bother responding at any point in time. While she’s not an AH for not inviting you, she’s TA for not at least telling you that the date changed and that your invitation had been revoked for whatever reason.”
Cruel Wedding Party Intentions
“What you described is something to react negatively to, so no, your being heartbroken is not an overreaction. Your whole friend group had a wedding you were supposed to be in without you, didn’t tell you, and still haven’t told you (EDIT: I suppose they might be calling and texting now to tell you, but it’s still after the fact). It’s beyond rude. It’s cruel.”
Is She Sure Just How “Best Friends” They Were
“This is strange. I don’t think you are overreacting. Are you sure you guys were best friends? You are quite a bit younger than them, especially for being friends since middle school. You owe it to yourself to find out what happened and ignore it if you wish.”
Be Prepared To Sever the Friendship When You Do Talk
“NTA. You need to talk with your ‘friend’ and figure out what happened, especially since you were supposed to be a BRIDESMAID. The entire story sounds weird. Either your friend sucks, or you’re leaving out information.”
