"She thought she was declining one wedding—until the groom called her drunk."
Is refusing an expensive destination wedding really a betrayal? She declined her oldest friend’s childfree wedding. The event was six hours away by plane. She had a three-year-old daughter at home. She did not want to leave her child for longer than a weekend. Bringing her family would have made the trip even more expensive. The rushed journey would cost roughly a thousand dollars. She still mailed the couple an expensive wedding gift. Then the bride stopped speaking to her. The rejection felt especially harsh after three years of wedding-planning help. She believed her friend understood the complications of travel and childcare. The bride had once skipped her own wedding because of her husband’s fear of flying. Hoping to repair the friendship, she sent a sincere apology. She even offered to attend alone for part of the weekend. Instead, the groom called her late at night. He was drunk, emotional, and furious. His explanation exposed a much deeper problem surrounding the wedding. Local friends had apparently abandoned the bride over her behavior and offensive remarks. Now she was being blamed for a celebration that may already have been falling apart.
