What really got under her skin, though, was the fact that Jane still expected the full bridal treatment – despite having none of her best friends as bridesmaids.
More specifically, Jane wanted a bridal shower, an extended weekend trip to a costly destination for a bachelorette party, and a wedding gift registry.
“I find it a bit ridiculous that she still expects to have these things thrown by and (presumably) paid for by people who aren’t even invited to the actual wedding!” she admitted.
To make matters worse, Jane has insisted on continuing to call her and the rest of their friends “bridesmaids.” However, since none of them will be present at the ceremony, she doesn’t understand how they really are.
She’s not the only one who feels this way, either. In fact, her friend group is pretty split on the situation.
Some people believe that Jane needs to be confronted regarding her expectations, while others think that would be a jerky move.
Now, she wants to be honest with Jane and tell her that she cannot expect “traditional wedding benefits” if she’s not having a traditional wedding. Yet, she’s not sure if that would be the wrong thing to do.
Do you agree that Jane cannot get the best of both worlds if none of the “bridesmaids” are actually invited to the nuptials? Should she talk to her friend about this?
