My best friend is getting married and I was begged to be in her wedding. I reluctantly accepted under the terms that I don't have to do anything other then buy a dress. Now 6 months later I'm stuck dropping a grand on her stupid bridal shower and bachelorette party. Plus the fucking gifts and cash that i have to give her. I feel like being in a wedding is just someone using you so you can pay for their pre wedding shit. Why the fuck do I have to shell out my hard earned money because you decide you wanna be Princess fucking Diana and have a big extravagent wedding. This fat bitch already has a house and nice things. Why do I have to buy you more shit?! Its a thankless job and I'm the shmuck who should have stuck to my guns when I said "I can't afford to be in your wedding".

    Maybe this girl is not your best friend? If shes using you to get the things she want, that does not sound like a best friend to me! Best Friends they understand you, keep your secrets, there the other half that completes you. Now your calling your "best friend" a Princess Fucking Diana, Fat Bitch etc, she clearly is not your best friend if your calling her those words. Just get out of her wedding explain to her why you can't be in it. Its better then wasting thousands of money on something you don't wanna be in.

    Ah I understand. I know what you mean in that case. Many of my fiance's college friends are getting married also and I think it's absurd to have to fly all over the country and spend tons of money on these peoples' weddings when we don't even talk to them anymore. And as for our wedding, I can't imagine making a gift registry. People will be coming from everywhere. How can I then ask them to bring gifts? I'm going to ask that people donate to a charitable cause in our name in lieu of gifts. I dunno dude. Weddings are fucking retarded. I wish we could just go to the courthouse, sign some papers, and then have a party. The average wedding these days costs like $30k. I'd rather pay off my student loans or do something useful with $30k.

    Okay this turned into a rant about how much I hate weddings. So yeah, normal, sorry you're in that situation.

    By my standards of a best friend?... no she is not. We've known each other for a long time and at one point were very close. At this point in my life though she is not someone I would like if I just met her. Yes, I definitly am bitter.

    I agree that weddings are ridiculous, but you sound kinda bitter. Is this girl REALLY your best friend?

    A bit too late to back out. But I agree with you 100%. All the money ($100,000) spent on it just makes me sick! Geezz....all the things that could be done with that money. All the people that money could help or feed. This is what's wrong with this country. Wake up brides!...your not a fucking princess!

    Today's typical weddings are ridiculous affairs propelled by emotionally charged marketing and selfish brides.
    I don't blame you for being pissed - I would be too.
    Maybe it's not too late to back out, maybe not.
