Bitter Female Friends

I was talking to one of my friends the other day thanking her for the card & gift she gave me for my graduation. After the pleasantries, we started talking about the wedding. She told me that she was burnt out from weddings and was on hiatus and probably would not make it. I told her that I'd miss her not being there, but I understood.

The conversation did not end there. She went on and on about how she's always at weddings and ends up doing more work than she plans to, shells out more money than she'd like to, and is never the bride. She's tired of being in weddings and going to weddings, blah x 3. She asked me if I had any single men coming, and I stated that most likely not because all of FH's relatives are married and so are mine. She then went on to say that my wedding has no purpose to her then...talkin'bout if I don't have any single friends for her, then why should she come?

Do y'all have any bitter female friends on the guest list?

    I have a single friend like that now. I have to completely sensor what I say to her. I was talking to her the other day and accidentally said I was tired and all the stuff I'd done, and I got a quick "I'm done with weddings, I will simply never put myself in that situation again, I do not need the stress." Not everything about my wedding is stressful. I love my FH and am really excited about getting married. It is sad that bitter people have to take the joy out of it. It's also sad when we have to sensor our conversations for certain people. She has also accused me of being a bridezilla and then saying, don't worry it happens to the sweetest people. I am so tempted when I talk to her and she's a grouch, to say you must be pms-ing, don't worry it happens to everyone! LOL

    Wow. That was rude of her to come out like that. Definitely bitter. I had one on my list, no so much bitter, but I think jealous. When I first started planning I asked her to keep the date open. She said that she doesn't like to drive at night and not sure someone could come with her. I told her that the ceremony started at 6:30 and it would still be light out and since it's at a hotel, she could book a room and stay over. She then went on to say that she doesn't like sleeping in other beds besides her own. Really?? So I just removed her from the list.

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I have one who actually is upset she isn’t a bridesmaid. But I didn’t make her one because of all the rude things she’s said about getting married too young and the rude comments about FH. I’ll state a few.

    These are comments she said to me, after I got engaged.

    “I just don’t think people under the age of 25 should get married because your brain isn’t fully developed.”

    I’ll be married next month at 24.

    “You shouldn’t be engaged without a 10k ring on your finger. Obviously if he can’t afford that you two shouldn’t be getting married.”

    My ring set was $1500 pre-owned and she knows that. Not because we can’t afford a 10k ring, because we are cheap asses and that’s just us.

    Bitter friends, they truly know how to make happy things awkward and miserable.

    YES!

    My single cousin that is a couple of years older did not RSVP on time. I sent her a facebook message asking if she was coming. She did not respond to the message, but instead put her "No" RSVP in the mail with nothing extra written on the card. Then, I saw on Facebook that she went to an out of town baseball game on my wedding day (My wedding would have been a 4 hour drive for her, but she drove further than that to go to this baseball game). I sent out save the dates for our wedding 11 months in advance. JUST WOW.

    Wow, she sounds bitter. I have a friend who gave me some real snarky comments after I got engaged. She seems to have turned a corner though. She is vocal about how unhappy she is single, but has finally gotten to the point where I actually think she is happy for me.
