Etiquette

I've been following a few new blogs that talk about etiquette which made me want to share a story about the worst wedding etiquette ever!!!

During my sophomore and junior years of college I lived with a girl who became my best friend those 2 years. At the beginning of our junior year she met a guy who worked at the front desk of our apartment building. Five months later they were talking about getting engaged and 3 months after that they did. Their engagement was a little bittersweet because even though I liked her new fiance I had a few hesitations. One, he could be a super asshole when he was drunk. Two, I honestly believe that he was her rebound guy since she had just had her heart broken about 3 weeks before meeting him.

Once they got engaged they were having a hard time deciding who would stand up with them. The groom-to-be was virtually friendless because of his assholeness-while-drunk and since they wanted a symmetrical wedding party she needed to cut her bridesmaids down. She for sure wanted her 2 cousins and his sister but was unsure if there was room for me and another friend of ours. Well they finally figured it out that they would each have 5 people. Guess how the bride-to-be asked me to be in the wedding?!?!?!?!?

IN A TEXT MESSAGE!!! And it isn't like we never saw each other. We lived together for goodness sakes! And I had seen her about an hour before I got said text message. We got ready together in the bathroom and she had plenty of time to ask me! I was so appalled by all of it.

Anyway....I didn't end up being in the wedding. She decided to move in with her fiance and basically dumped me and our other friend as friends. She never wanted to hang out and eventually stopped talking to us all together. The wedding came and went and we haven't heard from her since. She won't even be my friend on facebook. Obviously she isn't and never was a very good friend. I just can't believe how childish some people can be!
