@lealorali: If she wasn’t ‘that into’ the wedding, she should have never accepted my invitation for her to be my bridesmaid in the first place. If you can’t commit to the end, a person should have the respect to decline. In the long run there would be less hurt.

@somegonz: Just because she is posting on fb doesn’t mean she is fine. It means she is able to post on fb without engaging with anyone. She maybe in a bad place where she doesn’t want to engage with people or doesn’t want people contacting her so by posting on fb people will think she is ok.

I hate this passive aggressive crap. Nothing irritates me more than when I’m ignored. It happens rarely.. but when it does, oh man. If she doesn’t want to come, she should just grow a pair and say so, and stop wasting your time.

uh, what a biatch. She sounds like she just isn’t into your wedding, but the onus is on her – she shouldn’t have agreed to be your bridesmaid. This happens all too frequently. I would stop worrying about it and would stop contacting her – she’s giving off her message loud and clear. Just send her a nice note (via fb message – that way you can see that she read it!) saying that you apologize if you have been a pain (even if you aren’t sorry, start off by apologizing, it makes you look like the good guy), and that you feel like she isn’t very much into your wedding. say that there aren’t any hard feelings, but that if it would be easier for her just not to be in your bridal party, you understand. The end. I’m sorry this happened to you though, people suck.

@hoouliey: Thanks for your supportive words. Such a strange situation that I never thought I would have to deal with. I have made one last attempt to contact her through one of her friends. If I don’t hear back, I am done. You see who your true friends are through weddings, that is for sure. It’s unfortunate it has to happen this way.

@somegonz: believe me, I understand. I had 5 bridesmaids, and they were all in one way or another from hell. Some people are just too self absorbed and selfish to be happy for others. It’s sad, but it helps put your relationships in perspective.

@somegonz: Among your attempts to reach her, have you tried giving her an out? Saying something like, “Hey, I don’t know what’s going on, but if it is easier for you to no longer be in the wedding, you can tell me and I will understand. Is there anything I can do for you? Are you okay?” Maybe she’s having a really hard time coming to terms with the fact she can’t be in your wedding, maybe she is too worried about your response this late in the game and hurting your feelings, maybe she is dealing with something too stressful or shameful to discuss just yet. She should totally respond to you, don’t get me wrong, just thinking that maybe if you reach out to her in that way you might have more luck.

@Mischka: Exactly!
@somegonz: Just take it as a loss and if she does come around and she probably will she can join the audience at that point.

F that, I wouldn’t even let her be a guest. Guests are family and FRIENDS. She doesn’t sound like a friend to me.

@Cornflakegirl: I did. I sent her one last attempt yesterday through email, still nothing. I put in there that ‘if I don’t here from you by xx day, I will take that as you are not coming. :/

@Prettygirltisha: It’s a 6 hour drive to our destination… I have my doubts she will just ‘show up’
