At 38, I was thrilled to finally get engaged and share my wedding news with my best friends, but their reactions were silence, followed by excuses for not attending. I had been waiting for this moment for years and had never given up on love, even joking about becoming a “crazy dog lady.” Then I met Will, who made me believe in love again.
I eagerly told my friends Emma, Rachel, and Tara, but after sending them invitations, they started backing out one by one. Their excuses felt strange, especially since we had all been there for each other’s weddings before. Then, when they pooled money for a cheap air fryer instead of a thoughtful gift, I became suspicious.
Will later revealed a shocking truth: My friends were involved in a car accident that killed his father years ago. They had kept it a secret from me. When I confronted them, they admitted their guilt and regret, but it was too late. Will and I decided to move forward without them at our wedding, realizing some friendships aren’t meant to last.
In the end, what mattered was the truth, and my future with Will.
