Bridal Party Entitlement
So my cousin (23,F) and I (26,F) grew really close, growing up we had issues but we always got over them until last year when my cousin got into a fight with my brothers partner, who she was best friends with. During this argument, she decided to cut my partner and I off as well. So instead of messaging her, I got stubborn and didn’t reach out nor did she.
Late last year my partner proposed. I planned our at home engagement party within a couple of weeks. At this point my cousin and I were civil, we didn’t argue anymore but we weren’t as close. After the engagement party she decided that this was the best time to have a conversation about what happened earlier in the year. We spoke and we dealt with it and that was that.
The wedding is at the end of this year so my fiancé and I decided we needed to start sorting out our bridal parties. I honestly had already chosen my core four girls who I speak to everyday and who I go to for advice and she wasn’t in it. Honestly in the back of my head I did think about her for a second but then I remembered that were not as close as we were so I think she’ll be ok. Oh I was so wrong. We just recently announced our bridal parties and my mum had warned me that your cousin is in pieces. We attended a family event yesterday at a pub and within 4 minutes of walking in, the entire situation blew up- security was involved, screaming. It was an entire theatrical show. So this leaves me with the question, AITA for not having my cousin in my bridal party?
