She’s Not Inviting Her Best Friend To Her Wedding After She Criticized Her Fiancé And Implied He’s Not Good Enough
It feels terrible when your close friends don’t approve of your partner, especially for petty and unimportant reasons.
A woman decided not to invite her best friend to her upcoming wedding after she made mean comments about her fiancé on social media and in person.
She’s 30 and getting ready to marry her 32-year-old fiancé, Alex, in a few months. She’s been with Alex for three years, and they’re very excited to start the next chapter of their lives as a married couple.
One of her closest friends is Emma, who she’s known for over a decade. Emma has always been a big part of her life, but now she’s unsure if she can keep her in her inner circle.
She and Alex have been hosting a few pre-wedding parties and gatherings, which include their closest family and friends.
One of those parties was a small dinner party where many of her friends got to meet Alex for the first time.
“During the dinner, Emma made several comments about Alex that were hurtful and unwarranted,” she said.
“She questioned his career choices, mocked his hobbies, and even implied that he wasn’t good enough for me. I was shocked and hurt by her remarks.”
She decided to brush off what Emma said at the dinner, as she knew Emma was aware of how much she loved Alex and hoped she would knock it off.

However, she didn’t, and things only got worse from there. Emma began posting rude comments on social media about Alex and gossiping about him to their mutual friends.
She spoke to Emma privately one day and asked her to stop what she was doing, and Emma apologized. But a few days later, she found out Emma was carrying on with the trash talk.
“After giving it some thought, I decided not to invite Emma to the wedding,” she explained.
“I felt that if she couldn’t respect my choice of partner and continued to belittle him, she didn’t belong at one of the most important events of my life.”
She told Emma she wasn’t invited to her wedding in person and Emma freaked out, telling her she was a terrible friend. Emma told her she had chosen Alex over her and wasn’t supportive.
Some of their mutual friends are backing her up, while others feel the situation isn’t worth throwing a friendship away for.
While she doesn’t want to let go of her longtime friend, there’s no denying that Emma’s behavior was unacceptable.
