" She had all of the data she demand to make an informed decision as to her marriage ceremony date , and she made that determination regardless of knowing you were n’t usable that weekend . "
Usually, I’m in the camp that believes you should do everything within your power to celebrate your loved one’s milestones. But, I — and thousands of others — am a little conflicted after reading apostby redditorOld_Explanation6923, who said they’d be missing their bestie’s wedding for aTaylor Swiftconcert.
I know it sounds bad, but before you judge, here’s the story: “The issue is that on July 13, my fiancé and I booked tickets for the Eras Tour in Milan almost one year in advance or else they’d sell out. We also had to book hotels, flights, etc. because we’re staying there for four days,” Old said.
“Mybest friendknew that I’d booked tickets on that date. She hadn’t booked her wedding yet.”
" She got engross in November and book her wedding date last month . She had told everyone she ’d get marry during the summer , but she never said the precise date until now , after many people kept ask her so they could know their plans . I book the tickets this past summer when the tour dates were announced . "
“When she told me the date, I told her she can’t be serious. She was like, ‘Why?’ I reminded her I had the concert and the trip on those dates. And she told me, ‘Ok? Then cancel it, obviously?’ I told her, ‘Sorry, I can’t.'”
" I ca n’t offset the hotel , planing machine , and concert tickets . I ’ll have to pay a high fee to do so , and I do n’t suppose I can even call off the concert tickets . "
“I reminded her it was something I’d planned a year in advance, and she knew. She straight up told me that yes, she knew, but she didn’t care because, as a friend, she’d expect me to do the right thing and drop everything for her wedding. I told her I’m not canceling my plans for something you knew a year in advance I’d do.”
" She accused me of fundamentally putting a misstep and a concert over her wedding . She wo n’t speak to me now unless I send her cogent evidence that I ’m invalidate everything to attend her wedding . "
I’m not going to lie; I shocked myself by being on the side of someone skipping their friend’s wedding because they’re attending a concert. Mainly because it’s not just a concert she planned; it’s an entire international vacation with non-refundable tickets, stays, and travel — all of which her best friend knew before picking a date.
" Not the prick , " Reddit user1962Michaelagreed . " Under normal circumstances , I ’d say you should prioritise your best friend ’s wedding over a concert . However , you made these plans over a year in advance , and she knew about them . "
Her best friend knew for an entire year that she could plan her wedding for any day out of 365, except for this one weekend.
" Not the whoreson . You ’re not opt a concert over her wedding party . You planned an international trip with your pardner a year ago , and your friend screw about it . She did it on function . It ’s jealousy,“freefallsaid .
It’s a weird move for the best friend to pull.
" Wow , the entitlement,“Prize - Bumblebee-2192said . " She had all of the datum she needed to make an informed decision as to her wedding date , and she made that decision regardless of knowing you were n’t usable that weekend . "
It’s so weird that some people think it may have been intentional.
" Sounds like she is covetous of you look the concert . She easily could ’ve demand you in advance or made a plan but didn’t,“CareerDifficult8405said .
“Perhaps she wasn’t feeling the ‘best friend’ vibe because you are seeing Taylor Swift without her? Is she jealous of you?“1962Michaelposed.
" Could she not get ticket or not open them ? In any case , she is the asshole for not only scheduling her wedding at the same prison term , but also endeavor to thrust you to offset your trip . "
Regardless, her actions aren’t exactly best-friend behavior.
" The verity is rather ironical — she ’s essentially saying she does n’t care about what you require , your plans , or your pecuniary resource . Not only would she not drop plans for something important to you , but she would n’t even consider them . essentially , she does n’t wish about you,“Rebel_in_a_teacupconcluded .
