Chapter 2: Is it okay to change the wedding venue as a surprise?
Yeah. Yeah, you are. You had to ask the internet this question. You are. Oh no, but okay, but oh no, let's listen. Huh?
All right. On Saturday, my childhood best friend got married. Her husband is very lovely and he takes care of her. They've been together for seven years and I've known him pretty well through my friendship with my best friend. But after they got serious, things changed. Our friendship changed. And yeah, a lot of you will say this is natural and priorities change and I agree.
I agree that things can not always be the same and how her priority now is her husband and the family she'll create with him. But still, I feel completely mad about it. I know I should respect her and move on with my life, but I have to also make peace with the fact that this change does not make me feel well. I was her maid of honor, a great honor indeed.
The entire time of the ceremony, I was sobbing, not because I felt touched, but because I mourned our friendship. That day was the day that my hopes of things returning back to what they used to be were gone. Everyone thought it was cute and how touched and happy I was, but I was not. But I couldn't say it out loud.
I had a maid of honor speech ready, but all of it was just a lie, so I decided to scrap my actual maid of honor speech and speak honestly. I said that I don't want to lie, I want to be honest, but I'm not happy. I'm not happy that this person she married is the reason our friendship changed. I'm not happy on this day.
I just pretended the whole day out of her sake but it would be a shame for me to get up there and lie about how happy and excited I am. I said I'm not happy but regardless I have to suck it up and congratulate the happy couple. There was awkward silence for two to three minutes after my speech. My BFF was whispering something with her new husband. The entire night, my BFF ignored me.
I asked to speak to her and she angrily told me how it's not the right time. Many guests gave me judgy looks. It had been two days and my BFF hadn't texted or called me and also ignored my texts and calls. During that time, many of our common friends said that what I did was very selfish and that masking selfishness as honesty is not an excuse to make things awkward at the wedding.
My BFF contacted me two days after and only asked me if my purpose was to ruin the mood of her wedding. I said no, the purpose was to be honest. She said I'm trying to play the victim and how she can't believe I haven't even shown a bit of remorse about what I said. I said I can't apologize for being honest. She said many people believe I'm the asshole, including her.
Her husband now feels uncomfortable about me. Am I the asshole?
