So I agreed to go to a friends destination wedding because I had a free flight. So I RSVPd yes a few months ago and booked a room with other guests on the wedding block at the hotel. This is a wedding in the carribean so all guests have to stay at the hotel. The wedding is coming up in April so I went to book my flight and turns out my credit had expired. Since without the credit the flight is over $700 I decided it was out of my budget. I told the friends to take me off the room. I was meaning to tell the bride and groom but I’ve been busy so I hadn’t gotten around to it. Before I had the time to text them myself, the bride noticed and texted me pissed saying her count was off and she didn’t know why I had cancelled my spot without telling them. She said the hotel already closed her rsvp and she had already bought party favors and did her seating chart assuming I was coming. I just don’t think I’m obligated to go if I don’t want to pay so much for a flight and feel this is a perfectly acceptable reason to bail, since it’s a destination wedding. So AITAH for not going to this wedding?
