Some lady she met in the last few years gets the honor vs me who has known her for our entire lives, dropped everything to give her a last minute wedding (I did took her shopping, got her dress altered, did her hair and I'm not a stylist!!!) I get no part in any of it. I know I know... It's not about me. It would have been nice to have been asked to participate instead of "could you drive me to the party".
Like I said. I totally understand where you're coming from. |
Thank you! After talking with my bf last night he made the statement "I think your're upset that she's not as good of a friend as you thought she was". And he's right. I don't care about being IN a wedding, I just always imaged being there as a bridesmaid before her wedding getting ready, as I would imagine her doing for me.

My mom said the exact same thing, "Think of it as a blessing that you will save about $800..." - I'll look at it that way, and honestly, I really don't have the time for all of the wedding planning, parties and stuff. Tinky is my top priority, and I'm a full time student going for my MBA, and I work full time - so virtually no free time.
Thank you for your advice. It feels good knowing I'm not alone, and that others understand where I'm coming from. I need to find a friend in Southern Illinois that is as obsessed with her dogs as I am...
