Hi,
Ok, so I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a wedding that is 1 month before my own wedding. I originally thought i could handle it financially since i was employed when asked. Now due to COVID i am unemployed and do not know for how long. Luckily for my wedding my parents are helping significantly enough that we can still proceed with our originally planned date of next May.
However, my friend now wants a bridesmaid dress of almost $300 plus other expenses where a 200 dollar deposit is due at time of purchase and she isn't even sure yet if she is postponing for 2022. She is hounding us to make an appointment to go and buy the dress now. Am I crazy for thinking she is selfish?
Also she has given me the option to back out and not be a part of the day. Is that a bad move on my part to back out and just focus on mine so that i do not take away from hers or am I being selfish as well?
