[quote=Anonymous]All of these mean posts are confusing. Suppose her mother had done the same thing. Would you all still be calling her a bridezilla? It's just one day of her life. It's only a few hours. Her mom has been there for her her whole life, so what if her mom chooses not to be there?

Yes, I know the mom is likely a closer relationship, but some some of these comments are written as if it is unnatural for someone to have any expectation whatsoever when it comes to ones wedding.

There are probably many people who rsvped as unable to make OPs wedding. oP has not said anything about those people. Apparently, OP had a special relationship with this person, or thought she did, and expected either a higher level of effort to get there OR more sensitivity in expressing that she wouldn't be able to be there.

It is useful to point out alternative reasons for the friend to choose other weddings and vacations over OPs event. It is less useful to insist that a person have no expectations or hurt feelings whatsoever about a dear friends choice not to attend. And from the way the friend handled it, it definitely sounded like a choice.
