I need a flameful
I went to a small destination wedding this weekend of one of my oldest friends. She had asked me to be a bridesmaid, but at the time, I was going through a bad "breakup" type thing and also some financial issues, so I declined, but still wanted to attend, and the bride was fine with that.(I was in her first one.)
Well, I did more at this wedding than both of her bridesmaids combined. I helped her and her 2 daughters get ready, and I set up and tore down about 75% of the reception. The bridesmaids left and there were still a few guests left. One of the BMs actually didn't even get to the ceremony until about 5 minutes before it was time to walk down the aisle because she was stuck in traffic.
Well, during the reception, the bride said that she'd had another BM also, but that a few months ago, the girl just stopped responding to her messages and basically fell off the face of the earth where the wedding was concerned. However, she still brought her BM gift to the location, because she wasn't sure if she was going to show up or not.
Flame away, but I was a little hurt that after all I did to help, she didn't give me the gift since the other girl didn't show up.
Your turn.

Re: I need a flameful
Being hurt/disappointed does not need to be flammed. If you were so mad you were throwing away your friendship, then you would deserve to be flammed.
Agreed. That sucks
That sucks. But I bet that she thought that would seem like an afterthought and that she will really do something extra special after the wedding. At least that's what I would do.
Also I can add on to your flameful. My best friend, I was her MOH, threw her bachelorette party, bridal shower and baby shower, didn't invite me to her baby's first birthday. She said she didn't have room, and could only invite family and friends who live near her. Umm say what??? I'm super hurt. I would understand if it's just family, but really you're not inviting me because I'm out of town. And she's not doing it just to be nice so I feel like I don't have to make the drive (I'm three house away with lots of friends in her area). So I'm a little hurt that there isn't an exception made for me. But I'm chocking it up to her just being a little clueless about it all.
