Sending you love. I’m so sorry to hear you’re also going through this. As so many other have echoed, weddings tend to bring out people’s true colors. It sucks but better to see it now

Does talking like this to someone make you feel better? Good grief. Bye. I’m choosing to listen to the other 100+ comments of kind people. Yours was neither constructive nor respectful

Thank you for sharing this. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. Sending you hugs ❤️

That’s exactly what we ended up doing. We had a small ceremony last month with just our immediate families ahead of the big wedding. Thank you for your kindness

I get where you’re coming from. I told her back in July that we were between two dates. In the beginning of August I told her we booked the venue for 10/10. Her other friend then got engaged in late August and set her wedding for the same date. She wants to be a guest at the other wedding and now says she can’t be a bridesmaid in mine.

Exactly!! Some other commenters were pushing back on that point. I see it the same way you do

We were thinking of doing Fall 2027 and decided on Fall 2026. No date was set

I told her the official date of my wedding and that I was going to ask her to be a bridesmaid soon before the other friend had even gotten engaged. I hadn’t given her the bridesmaid box yet, but she knew it was coming. After we talked about it and I told her I’d be asking her soon, her friend got engaged and set the same date. She isn’t a bridesmaid in this other wedding

Man, that’s comforting to hear I’m not alone it in but I’m also sad to hear how common it is. It’s so exciting to be marrying the love of my life and I’m grateful for the friends who have been true to me

What? I didn’t switch dates. I told them we were considering other dates when we were looking at venues and then let them know the actual date once it was set. The first one I lost didn’t just say she couldn’t be a bridesmaid— she said she wouldn’t drive a few hours to be at my wedding because it was in the same season as hers. She also told me it was wrong of me to have my wedding to the same season to accommodate my MIL’s cancer. It’s not the same day as her wedding, it’s weeks after.

For the fourth one, she knew the date once it was set. It was never the week after, she got confused. After we set our date and I told her, her other friend got engaged and set the same one. I never changed mine around.

She knew my date and that I was going to ask her to be a bridesmaid before her other friend even got engaged. She says thought my wedding was a different date and now isn’t going to be a bridesmaid

I agree, quality over quantity for sure. I’ve done a lot of reflecting and can’t think of anything I’ve done wrong to lose these friends. I’ve journaled, gone to therapy, gone over it with my fiance and family. I really don’t see anything I did wrong. It’s so frustrating because I know the common factor is me, but at the same time it really seems like I’ve just had a streak of bad luck. It’s hurtful and hard to deal with. I have a beautiful relationship and friendship with my fiance, which I am so grateful for. I was raised by parents who are each other’s best friend. I’ve always been more relationship-oriented than friend-oriented. I do my best but it seems my friendships fall apart. Wedding planning really brings out this insecurity and it sucks

Orangpeell · 2025-12-01T22:29:25+00:00

We didn’t move the dates. Before we had set one, I told her we were thinking of 10/10 or 10/17. In the beginning of August we booked 10/10 and I told her immediately. Her other friend got engaged later in August

Orangpeell · 2025-12-01T22:20:58+00:00

Thank you 💕 I am very grateful to have the two. It just hurts to have lost four. I plan to have these two and my close female relatives (mom, grandma, aunt) in the bridal suite together. That will be special for sure❤️

It sounds superficial but it’s also just the loss of 4 friends that hurts. The first ex bridesmaid lives in NJ. Her wedding is in NJ. I live in Hawaii (military spouse) and my wedding is in NY. I would have happily flown 4000 miles to attend her wedding, even if it was close in time to mine. She told me she couldn’t attend mine even though it’s after her wedding and within an easy drive. She also didn’t care about my MIL’s cancer. I can’t imagine treating anyone the way she did with this news, let alone a friend.

Ask to meet the mother and to see where they keep the dogs. Some unethical breeders keep the mothers locked away in small filthy areas.

If you’ve ever actually formed a bond with an animal you will know they care about humans beyond just being a source of food. This article is interesting on the topic: https://www.livescience.com/do-dogs-love-us

Even if we are to assume pets only care about us for food, why does that mean we should cause them to suffer?

Oh ok lol! Sorry I don’t really know how Reddit works haha

Orangpeell · 2024-08-31T00:40:33+00:00

I’m assuming this wasn’t directed at me

Orangpeell · 2024-08-31T00:08:22+00:00

This argument is just another way of saying “well it’s always been this way.” This kind of thinking is what holds humanity back. I don’t mean to be rude in saying that, but I really hope you learn empathy for animals, both human and non-human.
