She Left Her Best Friend’s Wedding Early After She Was Seated With Complete Strangers And Excluded From Their Mutual Friend Group
This 25-year-old woman and her best friend, who’s 26, have been close ever since they were in high school.
So, after her friend got engaged and she was invited to the wedding, she was both thrilled and honored to attend.
Now, she wasn’t included in her friend’s bridal party, but her friend promised that she’d have a good seat at the reception.
“And I thought I’d be with our mutual friends, or at least people I knew,” she recalled.
Yet, when she arrived at her friend’s nuptials, she realized she was wrong. She was actually seated at a table filled with complete strangers.
Some were distant relatives of her friend’s fiancé, and others were people she’d never met before in her entire life.
At the same time, the rest of their mutual friends were all sitting together at another table, laughing and having a wonderful time.
As you can probably imagine, she felt pretty hurt and left out of the celebration.
“I get it’s my friend’s wedding, and she has to make decisions about seating, but I thought she’d at least place me with people I knew, especially since we’re so close,” she admitted.

Instead, she was uncomfortable throughout the entire reception. She spent most of it feeling awkward and out of place, and eventually, she just opted to leave early. She wasn’t having a fun time, anyway.
Once her friend found out that she ditched the event early, though, they got into an argument. Her friend reached out via text and accused her of being rude by leaving like that.
“And that I should have been more understanding because it was her special day,” she added.
She tried to tell her friend how sitting with strangers made her feel excluded. Regardless, her friend didn’t care.
Her friend thought she was making the wedding all about herself and should’ve stayed out of support, no matter what.
With their friendship on the rocks over this, she’s wondering if getting upset and heading out early was justified or not.
Why do you think she was placed separately from their friends in the first place? Did she have a right to feel hurt?
