When I got married I had 3 bridesmaids, 2 friends from school (A+B) and my best friend from uni (C).
C got engaged at the start of the year, asked me to be her bridesmaid and booked a venue. A got engaged a few weeks ago, I was delighted for her as I know she wants to get married and have babies asap. I told A the date of C's wedding when she called to let me know they were engaged, and reminded her again when I went home to celebrate the engagement in person. She said they were thinking of doing it a couple of months later anyway.
If you can't already guess the punchline, A text earlier to tell me to save the date as the venue they want has had a cancellation and they've booked it for the same day that C gets married.
I'm absolutely gutted, I've known A since we were kids (20+years) and can't belive I'm not going to be there on her wedding day. When I told her she said words to the effect of 'oh no! Well obviously C asked you first but I'm sad you won't be there'. AIBU to feel that she's prioritised a reception venue (the ceremony is in her church and no issues with dates) over me.
Not sure what I'm expecting from this, I feel a bit pathetic and I know it's entirely up to A to get married whenever she wants to and it's about her and her fiancee not me. I just feel totally bummed out, my 2 best friends choosing the same day out of all the weekends over the next year.
