Yes. I knew this bride was going to be spending big money. I was 22 and knew for sure I couldn’t afford it. She ended up cutting ties with me because “I didn’t have my priorities right for her one big day”

This stuff baffles me. I just do not understand these people.
Yes for money reasons (and because I was a bridesmaid in another wedding in the same season). I said it was for money reasons, we are still friends to this day and now she is invited to my wedding 6 years later.
Not as a bridesmaid, mainly because we have not lived in the same state for 7 years and I’m having a small wedding party.
I backed out on being a bridesmaid for a friend from high school. I hadn’t kept up with her too closely since graduating but we were still each other’s longest friends at the time so I had only met her fiancé once before and didn’t realize he was a racist prick who was trying to pimp me out to his cousin who “has yellow fever and was so excited to bang his first ABC” since they lined us up in the wedding party. I repeatedly asked him to stop and told him he was making me extremely uncomfortable which he ignored so I told her I couldn’t swing the destination wedding anymore after it was pushed back twice during the pandemic. I don’t speak to her anymore.
That’s terrible… I’m so sorry…

No, but I wish I would have in my early 20s. It was really a financial stretch to me, so I wish I would have said that I couldn't afford it.

Same!!! I felt pressured into it and regretted it every time… 8 times over. I dropped $1k MINIMUM on each wedding, not to mention tons of time and emotional energy. I wish I’d had the confidence to say no!

Yepppp! No regrets.
Yes. Destination wedding was too expensive for w
Yep. I had just started a new job with a lot of travel and the wedding was out of town. I didn’t think I could commit to being there when the bride wanted us to get there and since I was new on the job, I didn’t think I could ask for time off.
