Bridesmaid can’t make my wedding - AIBU?

Totempoler · 12/11/2018 16:22

I’m getting married next year and one of my bridesmaids now can’t come to the wedding because she’s joining the Navy and she’ll be training. AIBU to be furious and think friends shouldn’t do this?!

YABU Confused

Yeah right

Heuschrecke · 12/11/2018 16:40

So, this is your first thread, unless you're a NCer?

You can't understand why someone who is joining the military can't take a weekend off from her essential training which goes on for weeks/months? Grow the fuck up.

Louiselouie0890 · 12/11/2018 16:40

Really....... Really?

BackforGood · 12/11/2018 16:40

You are being completely ridiculous.

Looks like we are on for a 100% YABU. that doesn't happen that often.

NotACleverName · 12/11/2018 16:41

I say this with all the respect that you deserve (which is a minute amount): get over yourself, OP.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 12/11/2018 16:41

It's probably easier for you to rearrange the wedding than for her to rearrange military training.

Maybe you could do that if you are so bothered..

Hillarious · 12/11/2018 16:41

Is it just the one bridesmaid? Can you ask someone else?

Gromance02 · 12/11/2018 16:42

It is only a wedding. Just one day. Some people get married in their lunch breaks. It really doesn't have to be such a big deal. YABU.

Gazelda · 12/11/2018 16:42

What do you think she should do?
Cancel the training and her career?

Greensleeves · 12/11/2018 16:42

Actually I think YANBU

No, I'm kidding. That's mental

That hasn't happened since Donald Trump started a thread in AIBU.

dontalltalkatonce · 12/11/2018 16:44

PMSL! You're furious she put her career ahead of your poxy wedding? That's hilarious. At least she'll be able to get away from you talking about it if she's sailing. Grin

ADastardlyThing · 12/11/2018 16:44

your wedding isnt as important as her future. Soz.

mintyfresh00 · 12/11/2018 16:45

Phahahaha!!

OnwardUpwardsSometimesSideways · 12/11/2018 16:45

Of course you're disappointed. But you are also being massively U.

Is moving the wedding an option if it's so important that she's there?

Holidayshopping · 12/11/2018 16:46

Are you a Daily Mail journalist or a bored teenager?

Dvg · 12/11/2018 16:46

Haha yeah sorry i wouldn't really give a crap about your wedding even if i was your friend .. I mean congratulations and all but nah my life is more important.

Eliza9917 · 12/11/2018 16:46

YABVU.

At this point I would love nothing more than just me & DP at our wedding but we have to have immediate family there at least. His mum would be so disappointed if we did it alone.

BikeRunSki · 12/11/2018 16:46

OP not coming back then?

HoleyCoMoley · 12/11/2018 16:47

Is this for real, I'd love to join the Navy if I had my time over. Congratulations to your ex friend on this great career opportunity Wine

belfastbosoms · 12/11/2018 16:48

OP what do you expect her to do? (Though I doubt the OP is coming back to answer...)

dudsville · 12/11/2018 16:49

This is so funny!

Echobelly · 12/11/2018 16:49

It's a year's notice. Disappointed is OK, angry with her for doing it is not. And by the time the wedding rolls round you will have other things to worry about.
