Leading up to the fitting, she sent Jenny a message, expressing that she felt distance between them, and she asked if she was upset with her for something she’d done or if Jenny didn’t want to be friends anymore.
In the message, she added that she missed seeing her and she would love it if she could make it to her dress fitting.
Jenny responded, telling her that she wasn’t upset with her, that she hadn’t done anything wrong, and that she had just been stressed out.
Then, Jenny informed her that she’d dropped out of nursing school. So, she assumed that Jenny probably didn’t feel too great about dropping out, and this could have been a big part of why she’d kept her distance.
On the day of her dress fitting, Jenny showed up late with her new boyfriend, Mike, whom she’d only been dating for two months. She had not been told ahead of time that Jenny would be bringing her boyfriend along to the fitting.
Jenny already knew that because her fiancé has a large family, they wanted to limit plus-ones only to couples in long-term relationships, married couples, and those who know both her and her fiancé.
She and her fiancé had already agreed that they didn’t want people who they’d never met to attend their wedding.
During her dress fitting, Jenny asked her if she was still sure that she only wanted couples in serious relationships to be given plus-ones, and she affirmed that this was still the rule.
“If I don’t have enough money to invite all of my cousins, who are dear to me, then I’m not going to invite a random plus-one. Then, she proceeded to ask me, in front of her new boyfriend, whom I’d met five minutes prior, if she could bring him to the wedding. I told her absolutely not,” she explained.
She continued, pointing out that Jenny and her boyfriend had only been together for two months, she and her fiancé didn’t know him, and since she’s part of the bridal party, he would have to spend the entire wedding alone anyway.
As she said this, Mike didn’t appear offended or shocked by any of her explanations.
