The Wedding Rant

God I almost could have slapped my friend in the face last Friday night at dinner. The reason for this intense feeling of hostility even loathing was all the talk of her impending wedding. In fact, no it wasn't the impending wedding but the hen party. She has planned her hen party in DUBAI!!! What the fuck??!!

I can't think of anywhere I'd less like to visit. It will cost 100's of pounds and amount to a weekend spent with lots of people I don't know (and probably won't like, as I am ridiculously intolerant) in a place that is just about my idea of hell.

Is it not enough that I've got to buy a ticket and fly to Ireland for the freaking wedding? Add on top of that the cost of a present, dress to wear, taxi fares, hotel for the night etc...

It's got to the stage now that I can't even go on holiday to somewhere I want to visit because I have to spend my money on various people's weddings and hen weekends.

GRRRRR

The thought won't even have crossed her mind that I may not want to spend my hard earned money on her hen party. She truly believes she is the centre of the universe.

And there is a new dimension to her personality and I don't like it. Smugness. I don't know whether it's because she's getting married, and I'm not or because her fiance is very rich and my boyf isn't, but it's definitely there. A little bit of smuggness: Haven't I done well. I'm going to be so rich. We are buying a holiday apartment in Canada. T came home late last night so he bought me a DAB digital radio to say sorry. Have you seen how big my ring is....etc

So the question has to be: Why am I friends with this person? Well I've only known her a couple of years and I think that I'm only really starting to get to know her properly now. I'm starting to see her true personality. And I don't like it.

How do I dump her?
