Her Best Friend Asked Her To Be A Bridesmaid But Then Decided To Cut Her Out Of The Wedding

A woman in her early 30s moved to another state a little less than 3 years ago, and when she started her new job, she met another woman the same age as her that wound up becoming her best friend.
She instantly became super close to her best friend. They started spending as much time as they could together while at work, and then they quickly began spending all of their free time outside of work with one another as well.
She and her best friend talked about everything and they both shared extremely personal things with one another. She also ended up going on several trips with her best friend, and she thought they had a great friendship.
She was thrilled to have found a best friend so quickly after moving somewhere new.
“…When she got engaged this past summer I have been there for her every step of the way,” she explained.
“Including sending her venues when she was struggling to find a place, and talking about themes, colors, where she would have her bachelorette party, etc. and she told me to grow out my hair for wedding pictures.”
Now, her best friend invited her to be one of the bridesmaids at the wedding, and very recently, her best friend spoke to her about the order she wanted all of the bridesmaids to be in.
Her best friend had initially planned on having another bridesmaid that she was friends with for 15 years be ahead of her in the wedding day order, but after her best friend got into a blowout fight with this other bridesmaid that involved screaming, everything changed.
Her best friend then told her that she would be the head bridesmaid in light of the fight.

Several days ago, her best friend sent her a super long text message letting her know that she was actually being cut from the wedding entirely.
She was shocked to get this text, and her best friend tried to say that the reason she was being excluded was that the groom wanted to not have as many groomsmen as initially decided.
So, her best friend had to make a cut, and she was it since her best friend hadn’t known her as long as the other bridesmaids.
“After all that we had been through she told me that she was no longer going to ask me to be in her wedding,” she said.
“I felt completely heartbroken but did not want to make it about me so I told her that I was really disappointed but I didn’t want to add any stress to her planning by a negative reaction.”
Her best friend insisted that she did not want the decision to cut her from the wedding to impact their friendship, but obviously, she can’t just ignore all of this.
She struggled with her best friend prioritizing a bridesmaid she had got into a blow-out fight with over her, simply because of the length of time they had been friends.
“I was there for her when after a month of knowing her, her and her current fiancé broke up in a huge fiasco, and I supported her through everything including their obvious reconciliation and now engagement,” she continued.
“I just feel so hurt and torn, and I don’t want to make this about me but I am seeing her post on social media with her now bridal party and they are posting on social media the boxes they got to be asked to be in her wedding and I just feel like nothing will be the same between us.”
She was the one who helped her best friend pick out those bridesmaid boxes, which makes it all so much worse.

She also feels that her best friend could have still included her in the wedding in some way, even if she could no longer be a bridesmaid.
She’s upset her best friend didn’t offer to find another way to make her feel special, and she doesn’t want to talk to her at all anymore.
“I just feel awkward even trying to talk to her at all about anything and feel like nothing will be the same again…I just don’t know how to navigate this,” she concluded.
What do you think? Is it time for her to drop her best friend? You can read the original post on Reddit here.
