Needing to Rant...

Kasyah, on February 26, 2020 at 7:24 PM Posted in Planning 0 5
So here I am, 32 days out from one of the best days of my life. The planning has been fine, money has been fine, everything has been fine besides the people I thought were my best friends.


We had a 1 1/2 year engagement. My cat, Julian, who was like our child got cancer and after a massive $5000 vet bill we had to put him down in April 2019. A week later my soon to be father-in-law passed away suddenly from a heart attack. My first bridesmaid was out in July as she found out she was having twins. My BFF of 7 years said she didn't want to be in the wedding anymore and ended our friendship via text bc of some heavily misinterpreted texts (one about bra color) and also bc of the dress everyone but her liked for the bridesmaids dresses in October. My BFF of 10 years went through a divorce and has now decided to have her ex-hunsband and kids treat our destination wedding as a spring break get away. We've told everyone from the start this is a no kids wedding. She's known for a year and half about this and has failed to save a penny for it. Yet she gets her nails done every two weeks and her hair done monthly and buys clothes and concert tickets all the time... I even offered to help with accomodations but she decided to make it a family getaway instead. She literally just text me and said "would it just be easier for me to drop out of the wedding?!" bc I mentioned we were going out on Friday and was hoping she could come out... When she said she needed to spend time with her kids I told her to do what she needs to do. Not meaning it in any way but exactly that.
We moved away from friends and family for my job so my entire bridal party is each in a different state. I have felt like this should have been the happiest time of my life and here I am dealing with losing friends and family. I am so depressed. SO DEPRESSED. I just needed a place to express how I feel. It seems like every little thing I do is just wrong. Am I asking too much to not have my best friend spend time with me before my wedding? I just don't get it. I don't get how the littlest of things can make people just throw you away like you're not worth anything. Apologies for the long rant- just so exhausted from everything that's happened this past year. I just want to be happy and excited. That's all I want.

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. Try to focus on what's most important, your FH and your union. I hope that brings you some happiness. Losing friends during your special time sucks but if you have genuinely tried to resolve the issue in person and they still want to part ways, feel food about knowing you tried. Best of luck to you. I hope they come around and things fall into place.

    I am so sorry. Sometimes friendships need to end and for the better. I do understand your frustration but I hate to say this, your BFF of 10 years is going through a divorce and has to think of her kids. Maybe right now she cannot focus on being a part of your big day. Emotionally who knows how she is feeling? I would ask her. At the end of the day how she spends her money is her prerogative. I know she had a year and a half to save but her priorities were hers. However, I do agree she should not make it a destination wedding. I would honestly meet up with her in person and ask is everything okay and maybe ask why she suggests to back out of the wedding? Sometimes it is hard for people to put their problems aside to be there for others happy moments. It sucks for you but at the same time her emotional happiness takes priority to her. I do not feel you should be depressed yet think of the friends and family that are going to be there for you and just remember the big purpose of the day is you marrying the love of your life. I really hope things to turn around and I am sorry all these things happened and you do have a right to be upset. Sending positive vibes.

    I am so sorry about all of this. Take a deep breath, find some time to spend with just you and your FH. This wedding is about the two of you. I know it's difficult to feel like no one else cares about it, but just rely on each other. I am so sorry.

    Thank you- I have done just that in trying to make amends. At the end of the day it was their decision not mine and I've told myself that time and again. I am ecstatic to marry my FH and I do just as you say and try to look forward to that. Just seems like once something has passed something else comes up. Thanks for the kind words and reminders.

    Agreed- we are going away this weekend so it will be nice to just be there with each other. I keep reminding myself that just us is all that matters. I'm just so emotionally exhausted. Thanks for listening to the rant.
