She Lashed Out At Her Best Friend Because She Wasn’t Chosen As The Maid Of Honor For Either Of Her Friend’s Two Weddings
When this 26-year-old woman’s best friend was only 18, she got married right after high school. And at the time, her friend ultimately chose someone else to be the maid of honor at her wedding.
“Which I was not totally upset by, but slightly hurt, considering the fact that we had been best friends for over 13 years,” she recalled.
So, while she was actually at her friend’s wedding, she decided to confront her friend and ask why she wasn’t chosen to be her maid of honor in front of all the other wedding guests!
“Which, I admit, was definitely not the best choice,” she said.
After she asked that, though, there surprisingly wasn’t any drama. Rather, her friend just laughed her remark off and claimed not to have realized she even wanted to be the maid of honor.
Then, her friend made a joke about how she could be her maid of honor at her next wedding.
This witty response wound up sparking a lot of laughter from the other wedding guests back then. However, what her friend implied about having a second marriage did eventually come true.
More specifically, her best friend’s marriage did not last very long. Her friend got a divorce and wound up finding another guy.
Afterward, her friend got engaged, and now her friend and her fiancé are starting to plan her friend’s second wedding.

“But, yet again, I was not asked to be the maid of honor,” she revealed.
As if history was completely repeating itself, she decided to confront her best friend again and ask why she wasn’t chosen, too. At that point, she found out that her friend didn’t think she’d be the “best choice.”
This left her feeling really devastated, and she decided to tell her friend that she wouldn’t be attending the wedding at all.
“And that it was sick that she had decided to go back on her word,” she added.
Well, ever since then, a bunch of her friend’s family members have begun texting her and urging her to reconsider her decision. They think that opting not to attend the wedding over not being picked as her friend’s maid of honor is “childish.”
Now, all of this has pushed her to wonder if lashing out at her friend and refusing to attend her nuptials really was an overreaction.
Does it seem like she values their friendship more than her friend does? Was she in the wrong for confronting her friend over the maid of honor role or not?
