  • A woman in a wedding dress gets into the backseat of a car.
  • My best friend of 15+ years is throwing a tantrum because I won’t chauffeur her to MY OWN WEDDING.

    So I'm getting married this June. It's a destination wedding, like a 5-6 hour drive from where we live. Me and my fiancé have put in almost a year of work and planning into this & even booked condos for our friends so that they don't have to stress about accommodations.
  • Enter my best friend. We've been friends since we were in grade 1, but she is the definition of someone who's had everything handed to her. She's 25, lives at home in her childhood bedroom,
  • doesn't pay rent or any bills, and literally had her dad drive her to a job 40 min away because she "doesn't like driving on highways". She also had another friend get married a couple years ago and her mom drove her to that one as well (which was only 2 hours away), and stayed in a hotel with her. She's a total baby.
  • She started to bug me about carpooling because she "doesn't want to drive up alone". She asked if my MOH would drive her, however my MOH does not like her at all. Also my MOH is coming with me and my fiancé (she
  • asked us months ago). So I told her no, between the three of us (me, fiance, and MOH), my wedding dress, and my fiancé's suit, there just isn't any extra room in the car. I'm the bride. I have a gown to transport. Im not a taxi service, sorry.
  • A blonde woman looks away in disappointment as her friend reaches her arms out to her while sitting on a couch.
  • Since I told her no last week, she's been giving me the silent treatment. We used to text everyday and go for daily walks, but now I've been given the cold shoulder. We also walked past each other at lunch last week and it was just an awkward "hey" lol.
  • The kicker is that my fiancé & I are planning a beautiful group. hike, which is completely standard for the wedding that we're having. She's already pre complaining about her "knees" and asking how steep the trail is.
  • She's treating MY wedding as a series of inconveniences because SHE has to exert an ounce of independence for once in her life.
  • A woman in a wedding dress sits in the backseat of a car looking out the window.
  • I'm not even mad, just done. Fed up. I've realized that the moment I stopped catering to her needs and unapologetically prioritized my own wedding logistics, she ignores me and becomes passive aggressive. At
  • this point I am honestly hoping she can't come and bails. I'd rather have an empty seat than a guest complaining while I'm trying to marry the love of my life.
  • My fiancé and I are also not doing a traditional wedding party because she (mostly) ruined it. We chose a colour and she suggested we go with black instead. Her mom also told my mom that "nowadays bridesmaids get to pick their colours". Excuse me?! In what world?! Even if that was true, it's MY wedding!!
  • Anyways. If you can't drive yourself 5-6 hours for your BEST FRIEND OF 15+ years wedding day, where your accommodations & food is taken care of for you,
  • then stay the f home. It's honestly horrible I'm hoping she doesn't come because we've been best friends forever, but it's just how I'm feeling now after seeing her true colours.
