Her Friend Invited Her To A “Fake Wedding” That She Honestly Did Not Feel Comfortable With, But Instead Of Declining, She Just Got Up And Left In The Middle Of The Ceremony, And Now Her Friend Is Furious
This woman has a friend who, like many women, has always been super interested in the idea of having a large, extravagant wedding. However, her friend has never actually been in a long-term, serious relationship.
So, she claims that for years, her friend has discussed hosting the next best thing: a “fake wedding.” More specifically, the event would include a fake ceremony and reception put on by her friends just for the fun of it.
“Just for the sake of experiencing the thrill of getting married without actually going through with it,” she added.
And recently, her friend finally decided to go through with the somewhat wild but also fun idea. So, she was invited as a guest, along with a bunch of other friends.
At first, though, she was honestly a bit hesitant to attend due to her personal opinions on hosting a “fake wedding.”
However, she did not want to hurt her friend’s feelings by declining the invite, so she ended up agreeing to go to the wedding anyway.
Still, as the date of the event kept getting closer and closer, she claimed to have become increasingly uncomfortable with the entire situation.
“I did not want to be a part of something that felt so fake and pointless,” she explained.
On top of that, she apparently did not want to “encourage” her friend’s “delusion” that weddings are all just fun and games without any real commitment or meaning behind them.

So, she actually tried to voice her concerns to her friend. According to her, though, her friend just brushed them off and insisted that the fake wedding would just be a way to have some harmless fun. Plus, she got accused of overthinking the whole thing.
And since she still did not want to cause any drama or interfere with her friend’s fake wedding plans, she decided to still go along with the event and attend the ceremony– which in hindsight, was probably a big mistake.
Apparently, as soon as the ceremony began and she saw her friend standing at the altar– surrounded by fake “bridesmaids” and “groomsmen”– she just could not bring herself to watch the event go on. So, she actually just stood up abruptly and left without saying anything to anyone!
Now, her friend is utterly furious with her and is claiming that she totally ruined the “wedding.” She is also feeling pretty terrible for making the day about her and has no idea how to make things right.
“I know I probably should have just gone along with it and pretended to enjoy the fake wedding, but at the same time, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was all just a huge waste of time and money,” she vented.
So, she has now been left wondering whether refusing to sit through her friend’s fake wedding makes her a total jerk.
Do you think a “fake wedding” is a harmless way to have some fun, or is it really pointless and a waste of money like she claims? Is she allowed to feel uncomfortable with the event? Even so, should she have just declined to attend from the start instead of causing a scene during the “wedding?” If you were in her shoes, how would you reconcile this situation?
