Muireann received a message on Friday from a listener who's in a bit of a sticky situation.

She was asked to be bridesmaid for a close friend, and then ditched by TEXT. Ouch. 

Turns out being fired form bridesmaid and best man duties isn't unusual:

"'I was sacked as best man by my best friend who I had as my best man ahead of my own brothers. Then didn't even get a invite. Twenty years later we still don't really talk".

"I only had one sister and she didn’t ask me to be bridesmaid.she asked her friend I was devastated upset . So I didn’t go to my only sisters wedding. Now she doesn’t even talk to her friend x"

"My best friend for 20 + yrs  was my bridesmaid.....when it came to her wedding I was asked not to be bridesmaid because of my MS....I was humiliated. But now I’ve moved on.. made better..genuine..real friends..Time is a great healer.x"

"I was supposed to be best man to  at the wedding of my very best friend of 30 years. We had no issues … my partner and I got on really well with both him and his partner but about 2 hours before the ceremony he decided that I was not going to be best man and that another buddy (of just a few years) would do the honours. Needless to say I was totally shocked! I was never given an explanation or reason for his decisions. That was the end of  30+ years of friendship"

"Had something v similar happen to me re the dumped bridesmaid. I do think the bride has the right to decide who is in wedding party, etc, which I accepted but I could not forgive the manner in which it was done (also by text). I went to wedding regardless as groom was my neighbour also. Had a great day and night.  I gave up on that friendship, but am civil when we meet. Go to the wedding, enjoy the day and just walk away from that friendship. Anonymous."
