Que sera, sera.
I am finally able to get some mental relaxation now that my weekend is coming to a close. I am a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding and I was helping out with the weekend's bachlorette events. To be honest I wasn't looking forward to any of it. I had a falling out with one of the other bridesmaids due to her betrayal of confidence. We were friends for a number of years so it was sad for me that I could no longer count her among my friends. It did not help that I heard her talking smack about me and another member of the bridal party (whom I have since become friends with) and heard from others that she was talking shit about me and the bridesmaid. She also tried to take credit for stuff that she did not plan and made it seem that she did a vast majority of the planning by herself. She also attempted to get some other friends to convince me to speak to her. Talk about a junior high tactic. There were times that I wanted to tell her to fuck off and it took all my my willpower to keep calm. Luckily once the wedding is over I will never have to see her again. Sad but I have to do what I need to do to live my life. If that means cutting someone out of it then so be it.
I am soooooo glad I will never have to deal with any of that again...
My wedding was a effing nightmare...

It is the acts of this former friend which are causing me tremendous pain not the wedding planning per say. She even took another other bridesmaid and turned her against us. She flushed 13 years of friendship right down the toilet because of her selfishness.

You were so strong not to say anything, and so considerate of your friend who was getting married!
It's so hard to let go of a negative influence in your life when you've shared a friendship... I'm _still_ struggling about dumping a toxic friend (because there weren't only bad moments, of course, nothing is ever black or white... but there comes a point when too much is too much)
