My best friend from high school (lets call her Brenda) is getting married next autumn.
Brenda was my bridesmaid (matron of honour?) and also bridesmaid to a mutual good friend (lets call her Sue)
Soon after she announced her engagement, she also announced (via facebook) that she was excited Sue was going to be her bridesmaid. I was a little put out I hadn't been asked , but Sue chose Brenda to be her DCs Godmother, and they see each other more often these days than I see them; they share taste in music, and so go to gigs together, so I completely understood.
Anyway, we recently got together to plan the hen do. Originally it was just going to be Brenda and Sue planning it, but they invited me along to the village pub that evening as we hadn't seen each other for ages.
Anyway, we started chatting about the hen do.. Brenda never has an opinion on anything. It can be a bit frustrating, but that's how she is. So, Brenda had no opinion or idea about what she wanted to do for her hen do, and after a few drinks I started making suggestions. I suggested Brighton...a spa...etc...everything I suggested was met with a "no" or "Been there, done that". Eventually we hit upon a far away city she had never been to. I got really excited, as I have't been there either. We also set a date. The date was chosen because it was the only weekend in the month before the wedding I was free.
I now have an invitation to a relatives wedding (she, funnily enough, was also one of my bridesmaids). It's unexpected, as I never thought she would get married long story and I am so pleased and thrilled as her fiancee is absolutely lovely. Am I unreasonable to accept the wedding invitation, and blow out Brenda's hen do?
