[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure why everyone is giving OP a hard time.  If a really good friend told me she could not attend my wedding I would be sad.  I would probably offer to fly her out with FF miles (so she didn't feel guilty about me spending money) and maybe even pay for the room if I could afford it.

That said,  if she told me she could not come for financial reasons and then proceeded to tell me about a wedding she went to in Europe and her next vacation I would be a bit insulted.  It is just a fact.  I wouldn't call her out on it but I would definitely take it as a signal that she does not see our friendship as a priority.

OP is not a bitch or a bridezilla.  She is a normal woman who really wanted her friend to attend her wedding.  OP said she was having a small wedding which means she prioritized this friend over others and she is sad to learn her friend doesn't feel the same need to prioritize her.

15 years ago my best friend got married the day after our other best friend's sister got married, on the other side of the country.  Our friend went to her sister's wedding and jumped on an early am flight to be at the other wedding.  She came straight from the airport and put on her bridesmaids dress in the basement of the church. When your friendship is  a priority you figure something out.  When it is not a priority you don't.

So again OP is not a bitch.  A bitch would say something catty to the friend but a normal person would vent a bit  in a way she knows won't get back to the friend.

Congrats and best of luck with your wedding OP.[/quote]
