Weddings, Weird and Miscellaneous: You freak

You freak

Today, an attention-seeking weirdo who thinks she's my friend asked me who was going to be the maid of honour at my wedding. Knowing what she was really asking, I said I just want a small, non-fancy wedding without bridesmaids. She broke down into a sobbing mess in front of me. FML

Today, I rang up a good friend to ask her to be one of the two bridesmaids at my upcoming wedding. Before I could ask, she let me know that she would not be attending my wedding, as, "Weddings are expensive, so I'm not attending ones for people that are just acquaintances." FML

Today, I asked my best friend why she didn't ask our other best friend Anna to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. She said, "She's too pretty. I need ugly bridesmaids to make me look better." I am the maid of honor. FML

Today, my best friend told me that I wasn't invited to her wedding, saying that I was too pretty and that I would outshine her at the ceremony. I laughed and said that she was being ridiculous. She eventually confessed the real reason why I wasn't invited: apparently I'm an annoying bitch. FML

Today, my sister backed out of my wedding because it was becoming too much about me. After I begged her to reconsider, I had no choice but to pick a new bridesmaid. When my new bridesmaid posted on Facebook how excited she was, my sister commented, "See, you made HER feel special." FML

Today, my best friend informed me that I could not be her maid of honour because I "wasn't as pretty as the other bridesmaids" and she wanted her wedding photos to have "consistency". FML

Today, one of my closest friends informed me that she wasn't going to invite me to her wedding, because I'm too shy and not enough fun, and she doesn't want her 200 or so guests to feel uncomfortable. I was the one who set the happy couple up. FML

Today, I was the Maid of Honor at my friend's wedding. Months earlier, we had a bitter fight, but she picked out a beautiful dress for me and I thought we were past it. When I began speaking, the lights changed to a weird brightness and my friend snickered. My dress was completely see-through. FML

Today, I watched my best friend get married. I then watched her completely ignore my maid of honor speech, because she was messing with the lights behind us. FML

Don't get it

Today, my fiancée called off our wedding at the last moment, because her neurotic sister thinks she's "too fat" to be the maid of honor, and says she needs several months to lose weight. So that's a few thousand dollars wasted. My fiancée says I'm "overreacting" and that I "just don't get it". FML

Today, I congratulated a bride standing in front of a church in a white dress. Turns out she'd been stood up at the altar. She thrashed me with her bouquet. FML

That sucks and is awkward. However if you're going to call her an attention seeking weirdo, you might as well tell her straight up that you don't want to be friends instead of sugar coating things and 'leading her on,' per se.

She sounds lonely... still though no excuse to make such a scene and put you in an awkward situation

Just tell her "No." If she can't handle that, then she needs to grow up a little. It's not your fault

Why would you lead her on making her believe she's your friend? You need to be honest with her.

Why is everyone assuming OP hasn't already tried talking to her? Maybe this girl is just that desperate for attention and refuses to take "no" for an answer.

If OP has and the lady continues to be a problem then why doesn't OP cut ties with her? Obviously if you deem someone as being crazy or desperate and you aren't too fond of it the natural thing to do is distance yourself.

Is she even invited to the wedding? If you refer to her as an "attention seeking weirdo", I would assume not. Why not just be honest with her? I know it's hard because you don't want to hurt her feelings but in the long run you'll just get more annoyed and stop being her friend anyways.

Don't feel bad , she probably is just yearning for acceptance and belonging. Just tell her that it's very important to you and you can only afford to have family. Then avoid any information going her way.

You shoud have been honest with her from the start ,no one deserves to be called "attention seeking weirdo" behind their back she needs friends who love and value her instead of someone acting like a bully.

She clearly IS a weirdo, and I think OP knows a lot more about her than you do, so I'm going to put her assessment of the girl above yours. And how exactly is OP a bully for having a personal opinion about the girl? She's completely anonymous here.

because she's talking about her here instead of confronting her directly so she can move on and find real friends.

Also,she is not clearly a weirdo,op CLEARLY never told her they weren't friends and instead of doing so in this case she lied.

I have told people explicitly that in no shape, way, or form that I didn't want to be friends with them. They always ignored what I said and continued to try and hang out or keep contact and just make me uncomfortable. Some people don't take hints. Those people also don't take the very blunt words, "You make me uncomfortable. I do not want to be friends with you in any shape, way or form."

You can't leave things so open like that. Too many questions. Too many what ifs. You say either I'm not having a wedding (to lie and spare feelings saying you prefer to elope or that you think the moral thing is to get married at the courthouse and give the money you would've spent on something so extravagant to charity) or option two, you give the name of your real maid of honor and why she deserves to have the role (ex. she's been my best friend for years).
