AIBU to book holiday?

[Fantajuice]

My good friend was meant to be getting married abroad on the first weekend of June and I was going to be one of her bridesmaids. Obviously the planned event was cancelled, but she did still get married in a small ceremony.

She's planning to have a party next year so that she can properly celebrate with her family & friends, around the same time of the year. Another couple of my friends have found a good deal on a holiday for the first week of June next year. I told them I'd have to check with married friend when her party was because I don't want to miss it.

I've asked her but I just keep getting back 'oh I don't know yet, around May or June probably.' My holiday friends think I should just book up and tell her I won't be able to make it if the party is those dates in June. WIBU to do that?

I'd book the holiday rather than keep the entire months of May and June free.

Book the holiday.

Yes I'd book

This! She can't expect you to keep an two whole months free just in case.

Have you told her you want to make sure it doesn't clash with a holiday?

This is what I think really. I can't just keep two months free.

Have you told her you want to make sure it doesn't clash with a holiday?

I have, and she just comes back with 'yes, sorry for being disorganised, DH and I will decide today/tonight/this week' but then it never gets decided.

Book the holiday but make sure you are prepared for it to be cancelled.

Yeah I would book up and tell her “btw I won’t be able to make x week(S)”

Of course you should book the holiday, does your friend expect you to put your life on hold while she faffs around?

Thanks all. I've booked and told her.
