Hi all!
This is goes out to all you etiquette pros out there.
A girl i used to be friends with in High School, a good 6 years ago, and who i haven''t seen in over 2 years, recently e-mailed me and told he she got engaged and i replyed with congrats all around
. NOW she''s gone ahead and e-mailed me again and asked me to be her bridesmaid. Lets get some facts out there
1) i live 10 hours from my home town
2) i would have to take time off to go to her wedding, is my vacation stime really worth it? (No)
3) i haven''t seen her in 2 years, and maybe talk to her 2-3 a year since
4) i asked around back home and found out she doesn''t really have have friends, which is why she asked me.
So I never replied to her e-mail, saying i would or wouldn''t be her bridesmaid, rude i know, but i was just in such a shock and really i didn''t think much of it after i recieved with the madness of the holidays and what not. Now today she''s gone and sent me photo''s of the dresses she''s picked out, the colour and where i can find them in the city where i''m now living...
How do poiltely decline? She clearly took my congrats as a indication that i was willing to be in her wedding party, but in reality i hardly know her anymore...
Oh My!
