One of my bridesmaids for my this SATURDAY wedding just cancelled on me!!!!! I'm beyond furious and upset. How could she do that? She hurt her back, which I get, but she is ruining my wedding day! This is my oldest friend and she said she 'hopes this doesnt end our friendship'-- i told her it wouldnt but I think it really might -- I think based on the way I feel right now, I'm DONE.

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
if she hurt her back i wouldnt be able to be upset with her... if she really is hurt then theres nothing either of you can do... my sisters friend missed her wedding (she was a BM) because she was in the hospital. Believe me it wont ruin your day...
one of our GMs missed the church because he just started the police academy... we just switched a few people around... no big deal...

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
if you're going to end a friendship because she legitimately hurt her back, then maybe you shouldn't have been friends to begin with. A back injury is serious and potentially life threatening. Did you ever think to call her and 1st: see how she's doing and 2nd: get her a wheelchair so she can still be a part of the day???
Think before you act because the way you're portraying yourself right now is a self centered bridezilla. I know your wedding is coming up but be reasonable...
Granted if there is more to this than what you wrote, then it's a different story...
just my 2 cents...

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
Honestly, if she hurt her back I wouldn't be mad with her. She's not doing this to ruin ur day, she's tryin to take care of herself. I think itd be a little messed up to end a friendship over ur friend hurting her back.... Jmho.

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
I hear what you are all saying but I guess and I guess I know RATIONALLY that its not something she did on purpose but it doesnt make me any less upset. I'm very upset about the whole thing and it sort of puts a damper on one of hte most important days of my life..... I guess if it were me, I would take some pain meds and make my way to the wedding....and I'm not just saying that--- I would do anythign and everything I could if I was in a wedding party to be there....especially three days before the wedding!!! and yes, I did offer for her to sit, stand, whatever she would need to be able to be there....

Agreed. Answer these questions and maybe we'll think differently of you.

I think you are overreacting and I agree that maybe your should focus on your FRIEND's health more than the fact that she is ruining your day. It sounds incredibly selfish.

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
That totally sucks. I'm so sorry. Do you think that she's not really hurt? If she is really hurt badly, its tough to fault her but it blows. Maybe she'll feel be able to rest and heal alot in the next 3 days and be able to make it to some part of it.

Maybe she should have her doctor write an excuse note for you.
You are heartless.
The end.

if this is a serious back injury, do you realize how much pain she is probably in? if she can't walk and tries to, she can permanently do damage to her spinal cord.

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
is it that she cant walk? i would venture to say it must be quite a serious injury if she cant even walk, sit, stand etc.
i was beyond sick for a friends wedding. had just been diagnosed and hadnt even begun treatment. i vowed that i would at least make it for her ceremony if i could do nothing else.
i know that this is upsetting but dont let it 'ruin' your day that she isnt in the wedding. more so that she cant share in your special day, but know she is there in spirit.
sorry!

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
Wow, you sound like a bidezilla, and I'm putting that nicely. You are more concerned about yourself than your friend. Have you ever hurt your back? Taking medication is not always the answer nor does it always take the pain away. It also depends on the injury to the back. Try some sympathy sometime.

Re: SO INCREDIBLY UPSET!!!
I'm sorry to hear that...I'd be really upset too. Don't let it ruin your wedding day...if she is in serious pain, she'd put more of a damper on your day than if she remains in the bridal party. It's going to be a beautiful day on Saturday and just enjoy your day! You only get one wedding day...

I agree with this too.
Me too! I backed out of a wedding a week before because FH and I we about this close to being 'done' and at that point he had called off the wedding. He was also in the wedding and said he wouldn't walk down the aisle with me. (Such a long story with so much misinformation and we are better than ever now!) I knew I couldnt watch 2 people get married while FH refused to look at me! She hates me now for 'ruining' her day and the only thing it messed up was that Fh had to walk down the ailse with another couple. GET OVER IT!
