Bridesmaid wants me to drive her to my venue and take her home on my wedding day

Here I am again. My wedding is Saturday. One of my bridesmaids contacted me asking me to drive her to my venue the day of the wedding and take her home whenever Derrick and I have our grand exit. I politely told her that it was an impossibility for me to handle this because I am running in 50 different directions at once. This is my finals week for college and I also work 80 hours a week. She’s now upset with me saying I’m being cruel. Am I the jerk?

    If she called you "cruel" for saying no to her outrageous request, I probably wouldn't be friends with her anymore. I can't stand entitled people. This Karen can find another ride, or hopefully drop out altogether

    If it was just another day, and conversation went something like:

    Hey, can I have a ride?

    Sorry, too busy, I can't give you a ride.

    You're so cruel!

    I'd have to laugh and ask if she could be any more of a drama queen. But on your wedding day?! Good lord, no you're not a jerk, and no you're not unreasonable. She's both. There are plenty of other ways she can get there and back home.

    Hey all. The way it panned out was the bridesmaid didn’t show up to the rehearsal and was very difficult to get ahold of. Finally, I got ahold of her and it was decided that she would no longer be in the wedding party. I’m sorry if this sounds harsh but we offered her so many ways to get to the wedding- offers for rides, offers to pay for Uber, and she wouldn’t work with us. As it was the day before the wedding, I had to make a judgment call.
