Or if they, you know, distance themselves from you, maybe it's time for a friendship recalibration, right?

These weddings can kind of...

you know, bring those things to the surface.

And maybe we aren't as close as we were when we were 16, right?

So I think, you know, especially now that I'm older, maybe in a way you find out how close you are with this person, how much you matter to them by saying, here are my financial boundaries.

You know I love you.

I want to make it up to you in X, Y, Z ways.

And if they can't receive that, maybe we shouldn't be stressing about spending so much money on their wedding, you know?
