Okay, so my best friend and I are with her 7 year old niece, the aunt and my friend's mom, and the niece is trying on flower girl dresses. I asked my friend about Maid of Honor and who it should be; there are 3 bridesmaids, 1 being me, another a good friend of ours, and one...accquantince (we loved her to death in high school, but since she started college, she went downhill, including dropping out of college in the first year). The engaged friend told me that she wasn't even sure if the accquantice would show up to the wedding (much less anything else) since they hadn't talked in a long time and it's nearly impossible to get a hold of this person. Anyway, I asked her again because the last time we talked about it, she wasn't real sure about it. It made me very sad when she said this:
"I don't have a sister to make a Maid of Honor, and I don't want to be rude, so I'm splitting it up 3 ways."
This made me very sad. I've been beside her since I started high school (she was a sophomore, I was a freshmen). I've stuck by her side in many things, such as a terrible breakup where her boyfriend broke up with her at 2AM at an after prom party or when she's had kidney stones (that happened twice, both on her birthday different years.) There's lots of other s**t, but I don't want to talk about it all.
I'm not saying that the other two haven't been there (not at all in saying that) but they weren't there to pick her up after breakups or talk to her when she wanted to complain about something big or even when she's been sick. The good friend I was talking about even said "You should be her Maid of Honor, it's bullshit that she hasn't picked you" the other night when the two of us went to dinner.
Am I really not good enough to be something that important?
