..and the winner is...
Jessica Pitzer! She won the Darcy skinny jeans! Congratulations! Please read her submission below!
"I had been best friends with the same girl since kindergarten. We just clicked, right away from that very first day, and we lasted through the years. Sure, we fought and had issues from time to time, but we were best friends and nothing was ever supposed to change that.
Then right as she started dating a new guy (her first serious relationship, ever), I got engaged. When I took her out to dinner and told her, her first response was, "You don't expect me to be the maid of honor, do you?" Of course I did, but she thought it was too much responsibility so I delegated that job to someone else. Time passed and everyone was getting ready for the wedding, and she was the only bridesmaid who would not participate in wedding planning activities with us. She wouldn't go pick out the bridesmaid dresses with us, she wouldn't go dress shopping with me. I called her several times asking her to please go get fitted for her dress because the deadline to order and get them in on time was swiftly approaching. I didn't hear anything back.
Finally, in mid-January (the wedding was in March), she sent me an instant message over the internet saying that she just didn't think it was appropriate to be in my wedding any longer. I was completely shocked. This is the person who had been my best friend for twenty years - and all of the sudden, because she was so preoccupied with her new beau - she didn't have time to take part in the happiest day of my life. She then said, "It's up to you if you still want to invite me to the wedding."
It's a situation that still, a year and a half later, I can't quite wrap my mind around. I never would have hurt her like she hurt me. I can't even fathom doing that to someone. Awhile after the wedding she sent me a message saying that my wedding pictures were really pretty (she'd seen them on Facebook) and that it was weird not to be there on that day. Well, she could have been, and I wanted her there, she made the choice herself.
She still texts occasionally and tries to contact me every once in awhile, but it's hard to be her friend. I don't think I'll ever be able to fully get that relationship back, because how can I ever trust her again? She chose to miss out on one of the most important days of my life, and the way she notified me of it was shocking and rude, and it still hurts."
