bad friends and pink roses

So, today was a really really crappy day. I considered firing my maid of honor, cried a lot, and sat at home with cramps for the entire day.
My best friend (maid of honor) is here for the weekend from Missouri. Well, she's with her parents which are an hour away from me. We've been planning a shopping trip for when she got here... mostly neccesary bridesmaid shopping but mostly just fun since I never get to see her. She called me and told me she didn't feel like coming up here and "maybe I could go there". She also said she was going tubing so wasn't going to come dress shopping on Saturday. Other details discluded, I ended up feeling like my best friend can't even spare 1/2 of a day for me, and my maid of honor can't spare a day to go wedding dress shopping with me. AGH! I also had plans for tomorrow night with another friend, which I've been planning my whole weekend around, including Tony whom I haven't seen much lately anyways. She called and cancelled on me.

One of my other bridesmaids called (who is acting much more like a best friend), she's going through a whole lot of crap right now so I was trying to find out how she's doing and my whole story came out about my day.
Welp, long day shortened, she called me a few minutes ago and told me to go outside and "look down". I did, and there was a pink rose there :) I LOVE pink roses... she told me "you're the best and I'm sorry you had a bad day". She's also an hour away, dealing with all the stuff she has to deal with right now, but called a friend down here and had them deliver it to me. She's sooo great and it was so needed and appreciated.

I don't feel like I'm being selfish, asking my maid of honor to do 1/2 a day of shopping with me, and inviting her to go dress shopping with me. Wouldn't you want to go wedding dress shopping with your best friend? It's the only time in my life that I will be doing this! It doesn't matter that much, my mom knows me the best and is the best and I have no problem having just her there, but it just feels like I'm not important at all to her, even during this season of planning my only wedding. This isn't how I envisioned it all. I always knew she would be my maid of honor but unfortunely I'm regretting that decision right now. Am I being selfish? Someone slap me if I am.
Anyways, God remains faithful and yay for wonderful, thoughtful friends and roses!!!!!!

you are NOT being selfish. She agreed to be you maid of honour and so she should be there for you. PLUS even if she wasn't your maid of honour, as your friend she should WANT to. You are getting MARRIED, that is HUGE and exciting. I am glad however that your other friend was so nice. I hope things work out better!!

Oh kaylen! i'm so so so sorry i couldn't be there to take you out on one of our famous dates! Well- that happened with me too. Only while planning the wedding do you find out how close your friends really are. The beautiful thing is that you don't have to have a "best" anything. i found that when my maid of honor wasn't taking care of me, one of my other bridesmaids always picked up the slack. No one can ever hurt you as bad as those you're closest with. Trust me...tony will hurt you the worst. But even in the hard times someone will come along and pick up the slack. I love you, Kayrene...buck up little camper. I wish i could pick up the slack more.
