Thank you all so much for the replies. I guess I'll just leave it. Things like this just really get to me because I realise what I've missed out on by living so far away (where really I don't want to be anymore). I completely understand it's her decision and I do respect that.
kaydee. it's one of the reasons i came home in the end - i didn't want to miss out on things like that anymore. but i was lucky because it was pre-DP & children & so moving back only affected me.
If I was the bride, I wouldn't have asked you, because I wouldn't have wanted to put the financial pressure on you to travel OS for my wedding . I wouldn't ask her either.
I would be concerned that if I asked you, you would feel some sort of obligation to do it, maybe thats what she thought.
Sorry this has happened to you though.
I agree with others, I wouldn't bring it up. Quite possibly she didn't ask you because to her a bridesmaid helps with the general planning in the run up to the wedding (visiting venues, choosing a band, etc) and she felt that this was unachievable with you living so far away. Or perhaps this new friend is actually a very important person in her life. Don't take it to heart, it is her wedding and her decision
