Her Friend Dropped Out Of Her Wedding Party, Then Called Her Awful For Not Checking On Her
This woman is getting married, and she was thrilled to ask two of her best friends, Lisa and Shelley, to be a part of her wedding party.
Lisa and Shelley were excited to be included, but four months before her wedding, Lisa admitted she had to drop out as she could not afford to be a bridesmaid.
She told Lisa that was ok, though she was admittedly hurt. At that point, she had asked her bridesmaids to pay for a dress that was about $100 to $120.
They had one meeting for far about the bridal party, and she covered the food and drinks they all had then.
Anyway, she was puzzled that Lisa stated she couldn’t afford to be a part of her wedding since Lisa makes great money and her boyfriend, whom she lives with, does too.
Also, she manages a building and rented an apartment in the complex to Lisa and her boyfriend at a really cheap rate.
When Lisa dropped out, she then went to Shelley and confirmed she was fine with moving forward. Shelley and Lisa are glued to the hip, so that’s why she wanted to double-check.
Shelley agreed to still be in her bridal party, and because Shelley hasn’t really been working lately, she offered to help her pay for her bridesmaid dress.
“That same night on our group chat with the other 4 girls in the wedding party, Shelley started texting that it was crazy I expected them to pay $100 for a dress to be in the wedding and dropped out on the chat,” she explained.

“I was really hurt and felt confused why 2 of my closest friends who I have ALWAYS been there for, wouldn’t step up to be a part of my wedding when I would do ANYTHING to be in theirs if they asked.”
With her wedding rapidly approaching, she knew she had to find a replacement, so she asked another girl to be a bridesmaid.
This girl was thrilled and insisted she was honored to be included. She had initially wanted to ask this girl to be a part of her wedding, but she and her fiancé already had six people each for the bridesmaids and groomsmen.
With this girl jumping at the chance to be a bridesmaid, it made her feel less bad that her two best friends dropped out.
She didn’t find a second bridesmaid to replace her besties, as Lisa’s boyfriend was a groomsman, and he dropped out when Lisa did.
“After about a week of nothing from Shelley, I get a text message saying how awful it is that I didn’t check on her to see how she was doing or to make sure she didn’t want to do it before I replaced her,” she said.
“I am absolutely FLOORED that she is angry with me about this! She has since sent me messages saying how hurt she is and that she doesn’t know me anymore and has started saying BAD things about my fiancé to people they both know.”
“I don’t even know if there is a friendship to salvage after this. Am I the worst friend ever? Or is it normal that I’m thinking maybe she never was my friend?”
