Re: Friend Problem

Ouch. My guess is she doesn't have many friends, or at least very few friendships that go beyond the superficial. It sounds like you want to tell her "no thanks", so there's pretty much no way this won't be awkward. You could go for acting surprised/embarrassed and telling her that you didn't realize she felt your relationships was on that level (avoid the phrase "so close") but you don't really feel comfortable doing it and you aren't bridesmaid material. Repeat this every time she protests and make your answers shorter until it's nothing but, "I wish you and [fiance] all the best, but I can't."

Don't offer any other excuses that can be easily overcome or "fixed", such as "but I can't afford it!", because if she's persistent, she'll just try to argue her way around it. Firm "no, can't do it, sorry". Look at it this way, if she gets upset, you'll have solved your problem about maintaining this not-really-a-friendship, too.

Thanks for the advice. That's what I was thinking of doing since I don't like misleading people. I'll just be firm. It'll be awkward but it's necessary.
