I sent out invitations for my engagement party a few weeks ago, and my close friend responded that she would be there. In fact, this friend is so dear to me, that I asked her to be a bridesmaid and she accepted, but then had to back out due to many problems in her life. I understood, and wasn't upset over this at all! I told her it was fine, because she's one of my best friends, and I still love her, but that's besides the point! So she responded that she would be at the engagement party, but wouldn't be able to stay all night because she had a reunion to go to in the evening. Again, I told her that this was no problem. The engagement party started on time, my in-laws met my parents for the first time and it went FABULOUSLY :) !!! But my friend didn't show up. I never got a phone call, voice mail, text message, e-mail or anything along those lines stating that something had come up and she wouldn't be coming. Now it's a day later, and I spoke with a mutual acquaintance who said that my friend had made it to her reunion and everything was fine. So I know that there wasn't anything serious (ie. car accident, family sickness, etc) that would have prevented her from contacting me. I still haven't heard anything from my so-called close friend. Should I be upset? Should I contact her and vent my frustrations? I don't know what to think!!!

  1. Did you had fun? ok then thats all that matters, she has her own life (problems).


  2. Sounds like you had an amazing time at your party and CONGRATULATIONS as well.  

    I definitely get that you feel sad about her not showing.  The people who mean the most are usually the ones who hurt you the most, you know.  But don't let it ruin the memory of your wonderful day.  

    Just to lessen future tension I would definitely call to see whats up.

    And I would ask not accuse when you discuss it.  Tell her how great it was and how much you missed her there.  Thats what real friends do.  

    Keep the drama to a minimum...planning a wedding is stress enough.

    And good luck.


  3. Congrats! but oh, your friend was mean to let you down and with no explaination!

    I think a curt 'phone call is well within fair.


  4. She's not getting married, you are! and no one else cares anyways so get over yourself she was probably doing something better
