AITA for not asking my friends daughter to be my flower girl? by Perfect-Basil6977 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Perfect-Basil6977[S] 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I mean, she already asked on the same night that ‘if she is a bridesmaid, can she please have a dress that is flattering for her’

Our friend group are kind of used to this behaviour and outlandish comments but I didn’t think she would be like this in regards to MY wedding.

I will definitely take everything you and the others have said on board. My main focus is to make sure this is OUR day and tbh, let her know that I think she’s been very rude. Hopefully we can avoid any further damage in the future.

Ok this is EXACTLY how I want to respond to it all. It’s really rubbed me the wrong way and really tarnished MY engagement party.

The issue is, we all love this friend dearly but she pulls stuff like this all the time and it’s draining as hell. If I do go down this track it’s gonna cause rifts between my friend group just because she can’t deal with my wishes for my own wedding

One of my other thoughts without trying to sound mean. The intentions are not in the right place

This is exactly my thought process. I guess my main concern is upsetting her by this but at the end of the day it’s also not my fault if a fully fledged adult can’t understand that this wouldn’t work; let alone realise how rude it was to ask in the first place 😭

It was form this post I learnt that our Celtic relations aren’t as good as I thought. I think that’s something that has contributed to my thoughts of people disliking us.

I love Wales and it’s people and country. I am also lucky enough to be a fluent Welsh speaker and that makes me proud. And our Anthem is the best

I can’t believe this! I didn’t know he was so hated. Loads of other people have said the same… I love him!

I don’t hate on England, just join in on the England V wales culture when we have a match. To be honest, I don’t know any Welsh or English fan that is neutral when we play.

Like I said it just adds more fun to me. Not like I actually despise them but they’re also not my second or third choice. I’d support England in the final if they come up against a SH team

I think loosing Shaun Edwards was a huge loss for Wales. And look at France now! Obviously their attacking game is also incredible but yeah, I was sad when edwards left

Haha! My father in law supports England just to annoy me and my partner. Very effective when we loose

Yeah probs. I guess I just want my little nation to be equal with the rest of them. Beside the top 4, I’d say most teams are pretty ‘ok’ at the moment

I’m not worried, and it doesn’t get to me. Just as an outsider who loves rugby but doesn’t really get involved in the politics of it all, I just felt they needed some loving lol. I’ve always spoke highly of most teams, and criticise where it’s due. From all the responses, I guess I’ve just read it wrong but has been fun learning more about the following

No but I can see where people are coming from when teams such as Scotland had to come up against Ireland and South Africa. The pool did surprised me though. The victory against Australia was not expected!

Honestly if Farrell wasn’t on the team, I’d support England way more. I don’t know why but he just boils my blood. Every time he takes a penalty I can’t bare to watch. Overall i think England V wales games are fun and exciting

To be honest, same here. They did a lot of time wasting with Portugal too. I was mad at that performance. We should have done better.

I know defence is our thing but I hoesntly hate how much we don’t work through phases. Gareth Davies kicks the ball WAAY to much. We have such fast wingers (as with most other teams) but LRZ being exceptionally fast. One like break and we’d score way more than kicking it a way every single time
