A reader is the 'best woman' in her male best friend's wedding. His fiancée just asked her to drop out and skip the ceremony.
He asked me to attend his wedding as his “best woman.” I, of course, accepted. I bear no ill will toward him or his future bride and only wish to see him happy.
Miss Manners, as he is my dear friend, I have contributed a great deal to his wedding, financially and time-wise.I am no marriage counselor, but this doesn’t seem right to me. I would feel horrid lying to my best friend, but I also don’t want to ruin their relationship or his special day. What should I do?problem, not yours. Because even if you complied, we all know it would not end with the wedding.
Therefore, Miss Manners suggests you say: “I am not going to lie to my friend. If you do not wish to have me there, then it is up to you to tell him why. Of course, I will comply with whatever you both agree to.” Then you might want to check whether your wedding contributions are refundable.My 10-year-old grandson decided to have his stuffed animals — a raccoon, a monkey, a bunny rabbit and an octopus — “spy” on me. They are put in places where they can “watch” me.
