I don't know your friend so I don't want to judge her, however my friend (I should say ex-friend) did the same thing to me several years ago. She was 27 and really neurotic about being single. So she decides that she's going to be married by 29 so she can be pregnant by 30. She met this guy at work (mistake #1) and started dating him. Seven months later she becomes engaged and then she starts planning her dream wedding. Then my friend became Bridezilla. She made Star Jones look frugal. I am telling you, she called me several times today asking about every little thing. She demanded I spend $80.00 on shoes and then pay $20.00 to have them dyed this horrible burgundy color. I was at the mall and found the EXACT pair of shoes for nearly 1/2 the price and they didn't charge but $5.00 to dye the color. So when I told her she exclaimed - it's my ***** wedding and I'll send you where I want. I then learned the wedding coordinator was a friend of her mother's, hence the reason why the place was sky high. I told her I wasn't going to pay more for shoes when I can get them at another place for 1/2 price. She says to me I am ruining her wedding! So I could tell this was going to be a disaster from the get go. She then says she wants to get married at this huge church in downtown Fort Worth, but the cost was way beyond her budget. I jokingly said "why don't you become a member and maybe they'll reduce the rates." Well even though she was a devout Baptist she joined the Catholic Church so she could get the church for free. That is until she was told she had to "donate" the flowers from the wedding to the church. So she unjoined and decided to marry at another church that didn't charge an arm and a leg. She fought with them on everything, and I mean everything. The final draw for me was when she demanded I chip in $200.00 for some bridal party gathering she was having. All the other bridesmaids were chipping in....I told her I was not going to pay for some party where I am supposed to be appreciated and she could get another bridesmaid. We never spoke again. The wedding was way beyond her means and she ended up in $10,000 debt after the honeymoon. This guy cheated on her from the beginning and ended up leaving her after 11 months of marriage.
