My friend is not talking to me anymore

Sheila, on September 8, 2019 at 2:53 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
We celebrated a very small wedding with 14 people and I could include my friends except one that I asked to be there for me as my matron of honor and she has been like a sister. I have another close friend that is from work and we been together in Many situations but my now husband wanted us to leave work out of this special day. Besides I knew I include one friend, I needed to include the other one and his husband and then I will feel bad for the other etc. Now. that first good friend that I did not invite is not taking to me. She ignores me at work and did not even said congratulations on my day. I even talked to her before the wedding and explained the situation of keeping a very small party with only family. Now I don’t know what to do. Should I feel bad? Should I call her? Should I feel disappointed? That is actually how I feel. But I need someone to open my eyes and give me advice. Thank you

    I’m not following. Am I getting this correct? Ok so you had a small wedding that was only family but you originally were going to invite work friends and changed your mind? And only one of the friends is mad at you for changing it to family only?
    You also asked this friend to be your MoH and that’s the friend who is mad?

    That stinks. If you explained to her before your wedding that it was just family what more can you say to her? Don't feel guilty, you did what you had to do. Obviously her feelings are hurt but she's not handling it properly at all. Give her some time. Maybe she'll come around. If not she wasn't as good as a friend as you thought.

    Hello Yam, I’m sorry the confusion. I will try to explain better, I always wanted a small wedding to avoid all the stress in weddings and even my husband wanted to elope but I asked for at least have our closer family members. I only decided I wanted a friend to be my MOH since she is like my rock and like a sister. Now, I have this other close friend that i met at work. We have been friends for ten years. I made an exception with my MOH because she is special in my life for many reasons. This friend from work, to be honest is this friend that unfortunately had hurt my feelings because she tends to be influenced by other people around her. But still feel grateful for her because she helped me trough difficult times at work. So I told her that unfortunately I could not include her and many other close people because it was going to be very immediate family. I remember her saying at the phone “ok” kind of not happy. And well, no congratulations that day.

    I try not to feel guilty but my personality is to always think about about everybody except myself. And I kind of feel guilty that I invited a Friend to be my MOH and be there for me. I have a mix of feelings: Im angry and sad at the same time. Sometimes I just want to cut her of my life because I feel she just thought about herself. Not about my happiness and being married to the man of my life..

    Oooh ok! Thank you for explaining. I can understand her feeling sad considering you still had a friend at your family only wedding. I know that sounds harsh but it’s probably how she’s feeling about it. Perhaps “Why her and not me?” but I think she’s being cruel and immature about it. I don’t think you owe anybody an apology, you didn’t do anything wrong for having a small wedding but people’s feelings get hurt ALL the time over weddings. You can’t please everyone. Let her come to you, don’t lose sleep over this.

    Give it time. Sometimes when my feelings are hurt, I don't want to blow up and say anything I will regret. So I crawl in a hole and just don't respond to that person. A few days, a week, and my generally good natured side comes back. It isn't the worst thing in the world that she is upset. If she just didn't give a hoot, like you didn't matter, that would really be worse. Send her a bunch of flowers. Say you and now hubby were really limited, and you wished she was there, but having gone small you could not change it back or make exceptions. If she truly is a friend, she will get over it. But a nice gesture helps with hurt feelings . Most important is not losing the friendship over something like this.
