I love my friends with all my heart, but there are many things I wouldn’t do for them, even if they asked me to.
For example, I would not pay thousands of dollars to fund my best friend’s destination wedding, and I doubt I would even attend, which is exactly the problem the best friend in the story below is currently facing.
At first, she was happy for her best friend, Emily, when she announced her engagement. But the closer they got to the wedding, the less happy the best friend began to feel. Her main concerns started when Emily sent out a Google Doc titled «Wedding Guest Contributions,» which specified how much she expected each guest to pay for the wedding events. Not only to attend, but to actually fund these things.
I mean, when were you ever asked to pay for someone else’s rehearsal dinner? And who would agree to?
That is what led the best friend to sound her concerns to Emily, but she did not react well to them…
