Woman Acts Like Best Friend’s Destination Wedding Is An Inconvenience, The Bride Hopes She Bails
Having a friend means there’s someone you can rely on through life’s biggest moments. Assuming they actually care about you, of course.
However, future bride and Reddit user Busy_Detective6667 is starting to realize that her longtime bestie might not be as dependable as she once thought.
As the wedding planning ramps up, everything is beginning to feel more and more complicated, and the biggest headache, hands down, is her friend’s demands.
It looks like she is only willing to go as far as it fits her comfort zone—which isn’t even the bare minimum when you consider how long the two women have known each other.

And on top of that, if your best friend starts pressuring you to make it revolve around them, it might be time to reconsider the guest list

Wedding etiquette should come into play long before the big day arrives
According to etiquette expert Lizzie Post of The Emily Post Institute, modern weddings are a group effort, so guests shouldn’t automatically assume that they will just have dinner and dance and call it a day.
“Destination weekends are not new, but now the brides and grooms are taking the lead when it comes to planning,” says Post. They’re organizing their own activities to better control the expenses and have the wedding that feels personal to them.
But because more events and logistics are involved, it’s important to establish clear expectations and communication early on. It sounds like our bride made a real effort to plan ahead and let guests know what the weekend would look like, but her friend may have, for some reason, interpreted this preparation phase as a point at which her input could still shape the outcome.
As people reacted to her story, the bride provided more information about the wedding and her friend’s behavior

F**k that - tell her she either gets with the program or doesn't come. Stop pussyfooting and catering to her - it's YOUR day. She needs to grow up.

How about the bride 'grows up'? If someone invities me to a wedding and then throws in that they expect a 6 hour drive EACH WAY and a long hike, then they'll be getting married without me. I call shenanigans that there isn't a single other person going from the bride's home town that could carpool. The bride says that there is another car that is unwilling to ride with her friend, but surely the space in that car could be used for the suit and dress and bungo! the problem is solved.
