My friend got engaged last year. I say “friend”, we used to be quite close growing up but she stopped bothering with me when she met her fiancé but our mums are still best friends.
She asked me to be her maid of honour. I was surprised as we hadn’t really spoken in years but I said yes. I thought maybe she was trying to reconnect and of course the mums thought it was a lovely idea.
Then I find out she’s booked the wedding on the day of my 30th birthday. I was a little upset because me and my partner were planning to go away for my birthday but I suppose she will only get married once, I will have a birthday every year.
Then she sent me pictures of 2 bridesmaid dresses and asked me which one I prefer. One had sleeves and the other was strapless. I told her I prefer the one with the sleeves because I am very self conscious about my breasts and I hate them being out. (I’ve always been like this and she knows from when we were teens) but she bought the strapless dress for me because it matches better with hers. I suppose I can’t complain since she paid for it but when I asked if I could wear a little cardigan or something with it, she said no it would ruin everything!
I’ve spoken to my mum about it and she told me I am just jealous because she is engaged before me and to get over it. Perhaps I am a little bit jealous but I know my time will come.
I am already dreading going to this wedding.
Do you think I’m being unreasonable or is my friend turning a bit bridezilla?
