I had DD2 last year and asked a good friend if she'd like to be a Godmother. She seemed really chuffed and said she'd love to be. We have only just got round to thinking about getting the Christening organised as we are moving away in the summer so we want to get it done before we leave. I spoke to the church where we want it to be held, and they are very booked up and the earliest dates they could do are literally a couple of weeks before we move. One of the dates we can't do so I asked my friend if the other date was ok with her. She sent an email back saying it's sod's law but they're going away that weekend. She didn't say where and when I replied saying I didn't know what to do because of it being the only date available etc, but how nice they're going away (they never go anywhere), she sent one back saying she was going to make it easy for me and to go ahead with the date we can do. I was a bit surprised and know from conversations with her, that she has made up excuses to people in order to get out of doing something she doesn't want to do. I felt that it was an excuse, but wanted to see her face to face to see what she said. Saw her today and casually asked where they're going away in the summer and she said they're going to Chessington for the weekend. Am really pissed off. Could understand it if they'd booked a holiday abroad or something, but it's a theme park FFS. I would even be ok with it if she's said she was really sorry she couldn't be a Godmother but she'd rung to see if they could change it but they were told they'd lose their deposit. She didn't even mention missing the Christening. Feel like she just never wanted to be Godmother and if that was the case, why didn't she just say so so we could have asked someone else at the time, instead of it now looking like an after-thought.
Sorry for the long ramble, but AIBU?
