[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the MOH for a wedding shortly after New Year. The rest of the bridal party dropped out. I'm the last one standing. The bride is my sister. I really REALLY do not want to do this.  It involves travel and lots of indoor socializing with lots of people in a state that's in COVID denial and hasn't limited gatherings or encouraged masks. But she's made it clear that she's getting married in a specific time and place, and if people don't show up, well she'll learn to accept the fact that her closest family and friends don't truly love her.
It is beyond selfish, and I don't know how to back out without ruining our relationship for life.[/quote]

I’m a MOH in an upcoming wedding, too. We should start a support group. I’ve pushed back on the bride and she’s a nurse who expects to be vaccinated by the end of the year so she feels like she has no reason to postpone or change plans at all. Not a care in the world that we won’t all be vaccinated by the wedding. I also don’t want to ruin our relationship forever (my bride is a best friend, not a sister). I feel your pain!! [/quote]

Why would you want to be friends with a selfish, stupid person?

If her test of friendship was Russian Roulette, would you play? What if it was driving from LA to Chicago, no seatbelts allowed? [/quote]

I’m not going to the events, just serving as MOH w/r/t planning and paying for things. I’m planning to record my speech so that she can play it at the reception. It’s causing a huge strain on the friendship which upsets me to no end, but I’m not participating in the events. It’s not safe. I’m just hoping to come out of this whole ordeal without covid and with one of my closest friends. [/quote]
