#27: Unpopular Bridal Opinion
This post seems more fitting for the “Am I the Asshole?” subreddit, allowing the author to witness the absurdity of their question. Yes, your friend didn’t come through, but don’t let it push you into Bridezilla territory. It’s not a flattering look for a bride. Additionally, you can still present them with the gift, right? There’s no need for it to end up in the trash.
Maybe my response would alter if I understood why your friend didn’t attend. Did you have a falling out? Was their absence unexpected? Could a medical emergency have been the cause? While my answer wouldn’t likely change, knowing the context could provide some insight.
