Ok...warning: rant!
I am probably overreacting on this, but I need to get it out.
~3 weeks ago I was a bridesmaid in a wedding...not the MOH but basically taking on all the MOH duties (bachelorette party, wedding planning help, etc.) as the actual MOH was abroad leading up to the wedding.
My birthday was the wednesday before the wedding. I realized a few months in advance that I wouldn''t be able to have a birthday party/dinner to celebrate because the weekend before and after were booked up with wedding stuff and I would be too exhaused to plan anything. No big deal, you make sacrifices for your friends and it is an important time. I did have a birthday lunch with coworkers, and my boyfriend and I had a nice dinner.
What makes me sad though, is that the bride didn''t acknowledge my birthday with so much as a card! I know she didn''t just forget about the date, since she is a tireless facebook stalker and had mentioned it a few weeks before. I was thinking maybe we''d go to lunch or dinner the week after or something, but she was too busy to make time for me =( Today she left for her delayed honeymoon (basically a summer in Europe with her finance).
I know she had a lot of stuff to wrap up before leaving (she is a grad student, and wedding stuff) but I feel like I spent so much time, sacrificed so much for her wedding, got her a beautiful gift...the least she could do is take an hour out for my birthday in the last 3 weeks she is in town
Am I crazy? I mean, I guess you only get (hopefully) one wedding and (hopefully) 70+ birthdays...I feel slighted though...
Oh well...end of rant!
