Wedding Date Drama: Friend or Fiancé?
Our bride-to-be and her fiancé, Kyle, found the perfect wedding venue with a September date that worked for them and their families. However, bridesmaid Amber had a music festival that same weekend and insisted they couldn’t pick that date. The only other options were to wait until the following year or choose a date that falls on the bride’s late father’s birthday. After discussing with family and friends, the couple decided to stick with the September date, causing Amber to be hurt and upset. Despite the bride’s attempts to reach out, Amber has cut off contact. Now, our bride is left wondering if she’s in the wrong for choosing her wedding date over her friend’s availability. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
