I wanted some advice. My partner and I decided to get married. We are over a year and a half away but we started planning right away. my partner only wanted two people on their side.. because I had never been to a wedding or been a bride, I just quickly thought I had to make sides even. So I picked the first two people that came to mind, without thinking, and made my proposals. My mistake, indirectly told my other two best friends, that they were not picked because I wanted to make sides even. One of my best friends found out through the other and was extremely upset, saying that she assumed that I would've picked her and my other best friend. I took ownership of not telling her directly but I did not understand why she was so upset about this. She ended our friendship after 10 years because she said she couldn't get over the fact that she wasn't chosen.
is it too late to have them be honorary bridesmaids or is the damage done?
