i know i am being a brat but my feelings are hurt long

CountryBride, on January 20, 2021 at 1:15 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Back story My 2 cuisons my sister and I were really close growing up. we were all each other's bridesmaids in our weddings. I got engaged on July 4th 2020 to my better half. 2 weeks later my youngest cousin got engaged. I picked out April 23rd 2022 for my wedding date she picked out February 2022 for wedding. I am very excited she is getting married even though I do have to share some of the thunder. so here is where my feelings are hurt. She picked out her bridal party and I am not even in it she picked out her sisters best friend, my sister and a few other family members, I didn't even get a save the date card. She said it was because we are not as close as she is with the others and that's why I am not in the bridal party but its a 2 way street she can call and make an effort too. I know I am being a brat about this but my feelings are hurt that she didn't even invite me to her wedding, it's a resort in Mexico where everyone is paying there own way to attend the wedding. She is a part of my wedding party because tradition is tradition but my feelings are just hurt. It's probably amplified since I am starting my keto diet and day 1 with no caffeine and my kids are driving me nuts

    It’s ok to have hurt feelings. It looks like she views your closeness different and also doesn’t give as much weight to the same traditions as you do. It is very strange that you are not even invited to her wedding when she is your bridesmaid - that’s a pretty uneven relationship.
    It stings right now but will ease up over time, especially as you focus in your wedding planning. Does she event want to be in your wedding party?

    I'm sorry you're going through this. definitely don't wanna come off rude but that's why they say you shouldn't choose your bridal party so early on (your wedding is more than a year away) in that time a lot can change. I would talk to her and say "I'm sorry we're not as close as we once were. maybe it's best if you just come to my wedding as a guest". you will want the girls around you on your wedding to have nothing but love for you. if you have her there it might be awkward.

    Agreed. I don’t think I would feel right having somebody in my wedding party who is having their wedding two months before mine and I was not even invited to it. Unfortunately, it does not sound as though the cousin values the relationship in the same way.

    Sounds like your cousin has a different opinion on closeness. I would be hurt as well. Perhaps she assumed you couldn't travel to Mexico bc of you having a lot on your plate with wedding planning and having eight children? She could have at least asked you if it was feasible fpr you to travel before assuming though.

    I would imagine it would be hard to be someones bridesmaid and do wedding planning stuff with them, while also planning my own wedding. How commited to helping you in your wedding planning is she?
