Just Said Yes June 2024

i was kicked out of the bridal party

My husband’s good friend/business partner got engaged a year ago and his fiancée asked me to be a bridesmaid. I said yes because I knew my husband was going to be a groomsman. The fiancée (bride) and I were never close, we are very different and don’t see or talk to each other a lot. We’ve gone out together maybe 5x in the 3 years I’ve known her. She came to my bachelorette party for one day which I was so grateful and happy for. She’s done my hair (she’s a hairdresser) numerous times, including for my bridal shower. This past weekend was their engagement party (a year after they got engaged I know-odd), I have been going through a lot of health issues which is affecting my sleep and therefore affects my mood. I didn’t dance at their engagement party and just kept to myself. Even yelled at my husband publicly which is extremely unlike me. Anyway, the bride texted me the day after engagement party and just kicked me out of her bridal party. Said it seemed like I wasn’t fully in. I feel gutted because she didn’t even have a discussion with me even after I apologized. I feel as though the friendship is over, but now it’s awkward because she’s going to be my husband’s business partner’s wife.

    It is sad that her decision appears rude and abrupt. Invites to the bridal party should not be broken unless the person has proven to be harmful. You obviously just had a bad day, and it is too bad that that affected the bride's decision. Hopefully it works out and maybe resolves her misunderstanding so maybe you two can have a cordial relationship. Also, business partners often just keep as friends through the business more than socially.

    I doubt you four will ever be so close as to vacation together. You are an extension of a business relationship, not a social one. I would not feel too hurt because it's evident you two aren't close to even have a conversation. Good news in that you don't have to fake closeness in wedding photos in matching attire. Treat it for what it is and aim for future cordial interactions in the future.
