Her Best Friend Accused Her Of Trying To Ruin Her Wedding, And Then She Eloped Without Inviting Her, All Because She Wanted To Change The Wedding Venue
A 32-year-old woman sadly got injured while snowboarding and now suffers from cervical myelopathy.
She does need to undergo surgery, but she has had to wait for several years to get it, and now everything is getting worse.
2 years ago, her best friend was going to get married, but then the pandemic hit, and her best friend changed her wedding date to October of this year.
“So, at that point, I was still able to walk, and she wanted to have it at a national park,” she explained.
“The walk is about 2 km uphill to a waterfall and lake; the walk has roots, so I can’t ride a wheelchair there.”
“So it’s been over 2 years, and I tell her a few months ago I probably can’t make the walk. We brainstormed some other solutions, but in the end, it doesn’t look like there isn’t an easy way for me to attend.”
One of their guy friends, who was also set to attend her best friend’s wedding, was available to help carry her initially, but then he backed out of offering to do that.
Her best friend then said to her that she was sorry, but it really was her dream to get married at a specific waterfall in this park.
She let her best friend know that she got it, but she still was so disappointed, because she really wanted to be there for her wedding.

After that conversation, she mentioned to one of her friends that she was not thrilled that her best friend didn’t care enough about her to find somewhere else to get married.
She does realize that she said yes way back when her best friend picked out this place, but her health situation has since changed, and she thinks that her best friend should change the venue.
Well, this friend of hers turned around and told her best friend that she was complaining. This friend also told the other bridesmaids, and suddenly, everyone was picking sides.
“Some contacted the bride and told her to change the venue because they felt like I should be allowed to attend, and others said it was planned for, and I shouldn’t expect it to change for me,” she said.
“I didn’t realize how bad it got until the bride came back and accused me of trying to ruin her wedding. I said I just told a friend what I thought, and I didn’t go any further; she called me selfish and told me it was her wedding and the pandemic wasn’t her fault, so she couldn’t control that in that time I’d gotten worse.”
“I told her she can’t, but if she had any compassion for me, she’d change it to somewhere I can go to, and she hung up on me.”
Her best friend then decided to cancel her wedding entirely. She has since found out that her best friend actually eloped and married her fiancé anyway.
Her best friend invited only her mom and dad and half of the bridesmaids she planned on having initially.
“The ones who defended me and argued with her said she cut them out of the wedding and has stopped talking to them,” she continued.
“I feel really bad now because I didn’t actually want to go to the wedding badly enough to lose her as a friend, but I didn’t think she would cut us all off as a result.”
“I don’t know if I should contact her or what to say or if I’m even in the wrong in this.”
Do you think it was wrong of her to expect her best friend to pick a wedding venue that would be accessible to her?
