A woman who begged the parents of her so-called “best friend” to let her attend her wedding has been told she can’t go.
Primarily because this woman doesn’t actually appear to be best friends with this bride-to-be at all, but sure look, she obviously thinks she deserves an invite.
The unknown woman said that she and her “best friend” fell out five years ago and haven’t spoken since.
The friend is now planning on getting married in France (where she also lives) and, unsurprisingly, hasn’t asked her ex-best friend to attend the intimate ceremony.
… Because why would you, really?
The woman took to parenting forum Mumsnet to ask whether she was being unreasonable for ringing up her “best friend’s” parents and asking if she could come anyway.
She wrote:
“After a lot of thought and realising that I would regret it if I didn’t go, I went to see her parents today to ask them if it would be ok if I surprised her.
“I was immediately met with hostility and I could tell straight away by their faces that they didn’t want me to.
“I feel absolutely crushed, to be honest. She was maid of honour at my wedding and she did a similar thing by coming back and surprising me at my hen party.”
Understandably, a lot of people on Mumsnet though that yes, this woman was indeed being unreasonable.
“You’re asking to gatecrash the wedding of someone who doesn’t apparently want you there, or they would have invited you themselves,” said one person. “Don’t go. And don’t ask the bride.”
“She didn’t invite you,” wrote another.
However, the unknown woman then went on to edit her post to say that she and her “best friend” had made up a few months back and were now incredibly close again.
Honestly, we don’t know what to believe anymore, but one thing remains certain.
If someone wants you at their wedding, they’ll invite you.
