Ok so here’s the deal. My boyfriend (now fiancé) of 6 years proposed this past September and we couldn’t be more excited. One of our current stresses however, is wedding planning since the new “wedding industry” means we have to pick a venue and guest list over 2 years out. (need to know group size before renting venue) While discussing our potential guest list the issue of the bridal party came up. My fiancé has 6 or so good friends who are also my friends. But I’m having issues selecting a bridal party. The issue began when I started law school. The friend in question was my best friend in college, we did everything together, we lived together, and for a time she was going to be co-maid of honor. However, when I started law school she completely dropped off the map. Made excuses, saw other people when she made excuses for not seeing me, and I’ve seen her a total of 2 times since starting. Prior to starting my degree though, we were basically sisters. I went on vacations with her and I’m even on some of her family’s accounts. Not inviting her would be a huge betrayal (in her mind). And I’m not sure how to bring it up with her, and if I don’t tell her, it would be out of the blue. WIBTA?
