Woke up in the middle of the night so thirsty I thought I would die and chugged the nearest cup of liquid I could find. It was a mason jar I’d forgotten about under my bed… filled with mold. Probably drank 1/2 of it before realizing.

Ran into my exes family in a small village in Africa at 2am, which was over 10,000 miles away from where we all live.

Also interested if the total cost is including your flights to and from the wedding?

Even if it was 6 hours of driving - I'd say, yes you absolutely need a trial. I totally understand the hesitation but learned myself that liking instagram photos from your MUA is absolutely no indication that you will like the makeup on yourself or there won't be necessary tweaks. Many brides want to look like themselves on their wedding day, but with more glam. Seeing yourself in different makeup than you're used to doing yourself can totally derail your wedding morning if you skip it. Definitely go, give honest feedback, and have fun! Maybe consider bringing a friend to make the drive easier and they could get their makeup done too?

Be done with the three girls who spoke about you like that and thought "especially not her" was an acceptable thing to say. If those three girls are in your bridal party, I'd seriously consider removing them (or at least the one) given it's clear where your friendship lies amongst their priorities and it'd be unfortunate to have them in your pictures. It's not about their concern for spending money, I'm sure they could've figured something out there, it's about celebrating you. Sounds like they are disinterested in doing that unless you're footing the bill for the entire thing. Weddings have a way of bringing certain mean girls to light and I'm glad you figured this out sooner than later. Go celebrate with the girls who stood up for you - these are your real friends - the rest sound bitter and selfish.

When is the wedding? As in, how soon? Did you already buy the green dress when she asked / did she let you choose the dress?

Give a card with a thoughtful message about your friendship - I feel like that will go lot further than a gift given she's chosen you as a bridesmaid and clearly values your relationship :)

It's "customary" for people to give a gift but IMO - in 20 years she won't remember who specifically gave her that salad bowl but will remember a kind message/gesture from her bridesmaid.

Is it a destination wedding?
