missinglove Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 A few years ago a friend of mine asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. My wedding was two weeks before hers and she had already agreed to be in my wedding so I agree to be in hers as well (we live about a 2.5 hour flight away from each other). Well she attended my wedding ceremony and part of the reception. I went on my honeymoon the next day but when I returned I felt absolutely exhausted and I bailed on her wedding. I told her as soon as I returned that I could not be in her wedding because I was tired and I had been fighting stomach issues from food poisoning on my vacation. Even so I know I was wrong to bail on her. It basically ended our friendship. And years later I still think about it on occasion. I feel compelled to reach out and apologize to her because she was so upset I never got the chance to properly apologize. I am not expecting us to be friends, but I would like to apologize still. Even worse her fiance ended up calling off the wedding the day before.
