Friend may not come VENT

Ok, this might not be popular and I know this is the worst economy in our lifetimes... But one of my friends who lives out of state mentioned they may not be able to make it to our wedding and I am so bummed. When I was in my early 20s making paycheck to paycheck, I went to her destination wedding in the Carribean and I just feel like this is BS. I feel if she were a good friend she'd at least make the effort. I know this is a touchy subject but I'm just PO'd. I would never not attend a good friends wedding. Ok, had to vent. Sorry ladies.

You should tell her just that...she should know how you feel.... it may be that she is in a bad situation right now (not saying that she is) and she probably can't afford it...but if she can drive here or find a really cheap deal then there should be no reason as to why she cant come...its one day not 15 days straight.... GOOD LUCK

Sorry Laura-- I know the feeling when friends dissapoint you and it *****.

Just a thought-- if a long time has passed since her wedding- maybe she feels that you are not as close anymore? Or perhaps her priorities have changed from when you were in your 20's.. i.e. she has a family and diff financial responsibilties so maybe it really isnt feasible.

If she is a good friend and it means alot to you for her to be there-- i would say something to her and try to find out why she cant come, rather then steam in silence (Which is what i would do lol). If she is just being lazy or cant be bothered then that really is not cool.. if it is a legit financial issue then maybe you can work something out.. like she can stay at a friends or with family instead of at a hotel.. or maybe come by herself instead of her whoel fam if thats an issue?
