I’m getting married in five days and so far, everything has been great with the planning. Yesterday, my fiance sent text messages to everyone in the bridal party reminding them of the rehersal in four days. One of his groomsmen did not reply to the text, so he messaged him again. ‘Dave’ as I’m going to call him, told my fiance that he could not make it to the wedding because he was having a party for his birthday and apologized. However, his friend’s actual birthday was today and he has already had a party according to several of his friends and statuses he has posted on Facebook. He has known about our wedding for months and always told us he could attend. My fiance was extremely upset as to why his friend would do this to him and wants my advice as to what to do with his so called ‘friend’. Should he ignore him from now on? Should he forgive his friend and forget about it or should he simply tell his friend that that kind of behavior is unnacceptable?
