Maybe but you’re being really generous assuming she’s dipping out ASAP as soon as they walk down the aisle.Hmm this all depends on what you mean by leave early, how much notice you gave me and how close we are. If you gonna walk down the aisle then leave after the vows then I understand why she did this. At my wedding photos were taken throughout as a group and I would want everyone there. It would have left one of my groomsmen with no one in the photos with him and an empty spot at myung table with the wedding party. Friendship would be over on MY end if u knew this and waited to tell me until the last minute which it seems like she did if flight and outfit are already purchased. I really see nothing wrong with the ask.
Sounds like an "all about me" bride that expects everyone to be a part of every aspect of the wedding and not simply the wedding itself. That's fine, but most people don't have the time, desire or patience for that anymore.
I'd end the friendship, keep the jumpsuit, post photos of me wearing it somewhere more fun than a wedding and not think about Alex again.
Alex is tacky anyway. Jumpsuits for the Bridesmaids? Puhleeeze.
Because she's still invited to the wedding.If the bride really wanted the bridesmaid to relinquish her spot, why didn’t she offer to pay for her flight cancellation?
She should have done so before the woman bought clothes and paid for a flight.
