Okay, so I'm warning you that I'm writing this as I'm still pissed off.... I only have a few girlfriends (as they tend to drop off as years go by), and one just got engaged 2 weeks ago. She's only been dating the guy less than a year prior to the engagement (which doesn't really matter), but she's always been the one who has been dying to get married. So of course, she wanted to have the wedding asap. I got engaged mid-July and we're having a destination wedding in June. She's no longer coming to my wedding and wants a summer wedding. She's upset she can't do June 'cause of my wedding and doesn't want to do August for some reason, so July is her only option in her mind. She only went to one venue and the only date they have available is July 30th. When telling us this, I informed her that I will be out of town that weekend due to us already having a wedding that weekend 4 hrs away. That was last week... found out today that she's keeping the 30th. She was planning on asking me to be a bridesmaid. Is it just me, but if you were going to ask someone to be in your wedding, wouldn't you make sure they were available?! And seriously... only checking out 1 venue! I'm sorry, but if someone I was going to have in my wedding couldn't make the date, I would definitely check out other places to see if they compared and had other dates available!! I know, I know, it's her wedding and she should be able to do whatever she wants to do, but still!!!!! AAAAAAAAARGH!!!! We're suppose to go out to dinner Thursday to celebrate her engagement (me, her, and 3 other close friends), is it wrong that I don't want to go now?!?!
