    That's a bummer!! I don't really think there is anything you can do? Your wedding is almost here so I'd just let it roll off your back and enjoy your day!

    Unless you are looking for a confrontation and to start an argument with this girl you don't say anything besides

    "I am sorry you will not be able to make it. We were looking forward to having you there but understand X reason has come up. We hope everything is well with you"

    It isn't really your business if or why she lied to you. Perhaps she wasn't comfortable sharing that information. this close to your wedding I wouldn't tack on the added stress. Let it go.

    I agree with PPs. There's not much you can do. Just say that you're sorry to hear that she won't be able to come.

    How do you know for certain she lied?

    Either way, take hannahdee's advice Smiley smile

    Honestly you say nothing. If she doesn't want to attend your wedding that is her choice. How do you know she lied anyway and what was her reason for cancelling?

    It sucks, but you really do just say "I'm sorry you won't be able to make it, thank you for letting me know".

    Im irritated because theyre seats have been paid for. She told me she had a family event but would still try to come and i saw today her boyfriend post something on social media that theyre planning to go camping (which theyve done every weekend all year) she still hasnt officially told me she cant come i asked her and shes been ignoring me. Im not stressing it is what it is its just very rude and frustrating to be out this money and not even get the respect of the truth

    Is this someone you are close to? If it really bothers you, talk to her after the wedding. If you aren't even close, then don't bother.

    Let it go.. you are going to have someone show up that said they weren't going to, and have people not show up and not say anything at all. Be happy she at least told you.

    I agree with op, it is rude it costs money and no one likes being lied to by a friend. But please don't dwell on it, don't let it take away from our day. It's a loss, it's money spent and going forward you know she isn't always honest. That's it.

    Maybe like his status about going camping so they know you saw it. Lol

    There's nothing to do about it. Regardless of the reason she can't come she's not coming so there's nothing to do

    I agree that this is disappointing, but there isn't really much that you can do. Confronting and arguing with her isn't really going to solve anything, nor will it make the situation better.

    So did she actually RSVP yes or just say that she would try to come?

    This happened to me, too. It's irritating, but there's nothing you can do. Just let it go.

    It's rude but bringing it up won't change her mind. I'd just let it go and keep it in the back of your mind regarding your friendship.

    OP, I get that it sucks, I really do. I'm not trying to minimize your situation when I say this but, I had nineteen people have a change of plans a couple of days before the wedding or no-show the day of. NINETEEN.

    Some people had legit reasons, and some didn't give a reason, but in the end it wasn't worth it to confront those people. Just try your best to let it go and enjoy your day.

    This just tells me that when people say we'll try, that is their "nice? way of saying no.. without saying no. quite contradictory, but not many people consider the cost and effort that goes into the wedding unless that have planned one themselves.

    It's rude of her, for sure, but you have bigger things on your plate right now... let it go. It's not worth the confrontation and getting all worked up over; especially 2 days before your wedding.
