Need advice and opinions I am at my wits end!!!

Okay so it is 12 days b4 the wedding. I am so angry right now!
Here goes. I used to live in Brooklyn till I was 3 yrs old, and had a friend I kept in touch with and then we lost touch and then got back in touch with each other.
We do not get to see each other a lot , I live in LI she is in Brooklyn and does not drive, etc.; I invited her to the wedding- and her whole family. The reponse date was 2-26, I still have not heard from her then. She called me and told me she felt funny becuase she did not know anyone at the wedding. I told her she can bring a date or a good friend with her. She also was told she can stay at the hotel with me the nite b4 Fh can pick her up in Brooklyn or she can take the train and I will pick her up and also she can go to out of town luncheon etc. I did not hear anything. I have been bad at returning phone call lately , I have been so busy with the house and the wedding. I have been trying to clean out the house, my mom and dad have both passed away. So this has been consuming a lot of time. I e mailed her that we will pick her up etc. I do not hear anything, not a word. I get 5 emails today telling me I never call her back, I never e mailed her- I did! , and that I do not make her feel special becuase she does not drive and does not have a boyfriend. i have friends that do not have boyfriends and spent time with them, and also friends that do not drive either. What did I do wrong here? I have been more then acomadiataing, and think this is very nervy to even accuse me of this! Help how would u handle this? I even sent an email telling her all of this that I apologized for not calling as much but I have been so busy and also about how I emailed her etc. I do not think this is fair to do this to me 12 days b4 the wedding! I think she was looking for an out not to come. By no way have i been a bridezilla, at least I do not think so. Opinions? Did I do the right thing ?

You've def. done the right thing. you have enough going on now not to have worry about this girl. you've offered a few options already, just let it be for now. Concentrate on what you have to do for you and FH.

Good luck!

I think you did the right thing, she sounds insecure and is trying to make you feel bad , likley because she does...hang in there...you didnt do anything worng, focus on you and your wedding...people who try to get you upset right before drive me crazy...I think you sound like you were very nice and tried not to hurt her feelings...let us know how it turns out...

I think you are going out of your way to try to make your friend feel welcome and if she can't see or appreciate that, then she's not a very good friend. It sounds like you have a lot going on in your life and she should be understanding if that, you shouldn't need to make excuses for that to make her feel better. I know it may be tought, but I would leave things alone if I were you. If you think she's looking for an out, than let her have one. If she wants to be at your wedding, she will make the effort. I think you've done enough and you need to stop focusing on this. There are more important things for you to spend your energy on right now.

Okay I just got an e mail saying I am upsetting her, I sent her an a mail that I am not trying to upset her in any way, but lets be adults here. That is it, I am going to just leave it alone. She told me she mailed the rsvp back this morning, so she also said she is going to go originally to the wedding, the rsvp will tell if she was lying to begin with about coming. I am going to take all of ypu're advice and concentrate on the wedding and the happiest time in my life , etc. Thank you for helping me keep sane!

Oh please! Your the bride, I give you full permission to upset whoever you like!!!
What is there to be upset over, your trying to solve a delicate situation, let it go really, you don't need this stress...go buy something for the wedding...always makes me feel better!!!!!

You need to stop worrying about her and do something to unwind your stress. Take a bubble bath, get a massage or a pedicure. Then pick up one of those notecards at the CVS 'thinking of you' and drop it in the mail. Write your friend a short note saying that so much craziness has been going on - you appreciate her friendship and look forward to seeing her on your special day. She's got over a week to ponder the card and will hopefully realize that she needs to be a better friend.

Good luck with your wedding!
