AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? (update)

original post

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I had no idea that the post would take off like that i read as many as I could. I just wanted to update you that the day I made the post, Emily blocked me on everything and tbh, I figured that might happen. LIke I said before, we were close but it wasn’t recently (middle school) and this kidn of felt like being roped into something.

I was fine w it and then came home to flowers and a note today. I wasn’t that freaked out bc I know a lot of oyu said she was threatening but she’s not going to actually do anything besides run a smear campaign. Her folks also own a couple of restaurants locally which I would think I am banned from but won’t go and find out.

The reason I’m not freaked out bc Abigail also sent me a DM and we ended up talking on the phone. She said it’s a lot more complicated what happened with her. But she was reassuring that she didn’t think Emily would actually do anything besides bad mouth me a lot. She said she might share her side of the story soon but was also considering letting sleeping dogs lie.

That’s the update. I’m just happy to be out of this and I feel supported by everyone. Thanks for understanding.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid?

We’re both 23F. I get her heart is in a good place and I said yes initially bc we’ve been friends basically our whole lives, but we haven’t been that close recently. I was roped into planning this “Engagement Party Planning Picnic” and there just seems to be a lot of extremely detail-oriented tasks that I’ve never even heard of. We met on zoom 4 times just for this.

The wedding isn’t till next year but I’m worried I’m signing up for way more than I will be able to handle. I’m about to be in med school, i have a young niece and newborn nephew, work full time till school starts, and have a lot going on between me and my bf’s family.

But they just got engaged so I’m also thinking this is just a lot of early energy that will be burned through??

Does anyone have a similar experience? Does detail oriented necessarily lead to bridezilla? I guess I’m on the fence but also freaked out. AITA?
