Have you ever missed / forget your best friend's marriage or any gatherings ?

We have regular classmates gatherings once a year, but for the recent months, we changed to once a month, specially for a classmate back home from abroad. We went to restaurants, parks, etc. But I was ill for the appointment last month, I missed the gathering, and missed seeing her off. Maybe it will be several years that we meet again.

Gosh..reading this post made me guilty, yes, I have missed one of them, a wedding shower and dinner. I have totally forgotten all about it, maybe she didn't give me a card, just telephone me to issue invitation. That might be the reason I have forgotten about the date cos i didnt mark it up. When I realized it, the dinner and wedding were over and now she has gone to Singapore. If I see her again, I think I will feel very guilty. I think I will buy her a present and an apology when I see her again.

I do not think that there has been an occasion that my husband and I have missed going to visit any friend except for the occasion where my husband and I were proceeding to drift apart from my friends for a few reasons. We try to go to everyone's special occasion whether it be birthday or wedding. My husband and I just got married a week ago, and my cousin just today but we weren't able to make it as my husband is at work. We did apoligize beforehand that we couldn't make it.

like you.. I have never missed any of my friend's invitation or gathering if I am being informed.. and my dear friends are very kind.. they will keep reminding me till the actual day come.. and also, they will even call and ask if I want to car pool with them instead of driving separate cars.. Only time that I think I can missed any of these, will be either I am not well, or I am overly occupied with my baby girl.. and if my friends do not understand that these are beyond my control, then they are not friends.. so, I don't really bother how they feel.. I think someone that missed a gathering due to health reason is excusable.. provided that person is using the health matter as an excuse.. to me, excuse and reason are both different entity.. but no one will want to curse themselves sick right?

I missed a friends bridal shower last weekend. I had a lot to do that weekend and I just overlooked it completly. I got wrapped up in all the other things giong on and forgot completly about it. I have not spoken to my friend in person yet, and I hope she is not angry and that she understands that I am a scatterbrain.

I've missed a lot of weddings in my time along with a few birthday parties. The main reason behind this my parents denying me to go because of studies. So far I've missed 2 of my uncles weddings and one of my aunts. I told them I couldn't make it because of my studies. They understood and weren't very mad. I missed my best friends birthday party at her place because since I shifted schools we have very different timings. The day she kept her party I had my term papers going on and she was on holidays from her college. It sucks but they understand since it really wasn't in my power to attend it.

I missed being bridesmaid for one of my friends! I was going out with a guy who also happened to be a very good friend of the groom and was to be in the bridal party also; he and I had been together for a couple of years and I was very serious about him but there were problems with his family. To cut a very long story short my boyfriend and I broke up about a month before and I was very deeply hurt and I knew that being in a bridal party alongside him was going to be too painful so I called my friend the bride to talk about it. She showed no understanding whatsoever and told me to “Get a grip and pull myself together” which I did not appreciate and eventually after we had an argument I pulled out of the wedding altogether. In the end I did not even attend the event at all. She did not speak to me for two months.

Hi there, I can say I have never forgotten such an important event, but... some years back I was going to my friend's daughter's wedding it was far from my place so I left early but guess what! I took a wrong turn and that took me further away from the church, finally when I found my way there the ceremony was over so out of embarrasment I never got out of the car. The good thing is I made to the reception! Oh and there is a second time another wedding, this day was in the middle of summer really hot and humid I got hoplessly lost and I had left my street directory at home, I was in a suburb that I did not know at all I was sweating, frustrated, and getting really agravated [ my car had no air conditioning then] so I did the best thing I could think of[ going home was the best choice] and that I did. I did appologise to my friend for not being there and I told her what really happened and guess what? we are still friends today so honesty really pay.

I think friendsip means sometimes understanding also. If you forget something or he/she forgets, one must undrstand that you were busy or any problem must have made the mistake. Ofcourse friends may be angry or nervous at such times but they soon understand if they are good friends. Thank you.

I don't have a best friend but i do have close friends. Yes, most of the time i missed greeting them during special occasions and most often they are the one sending me an SMS informing me that she is celebrating her birthday, day of her wedding, her child's birthday and etc. but, they know that i rarely attend occasions that's why sometimes they no longer inform me on their upcoming activities.

yeah, a lot, i mean ever since we graduated I've been missing a lot of updates from friends. until recently i saw in one of my friends pictures in friendster that some of my other friends had a baptismal with their babies and some just plain married. haven't heard from them since.

I missed my bestfriends wedding because we had an argument before her wedding. She said something that insulted me a lot. After that I never called her, when her wedding is near she called me and I ignore it, she even leave a message but I still ignore it. After that I felt guilty and I realized that I am so mean to do that. Since then we never talked anymore.

i missed my close cousin's wedding last year. it was so sad because that supposedly our grand reunion with my family but because of my tight schedule i did not have the chance to attend. and just this year i missed her daughter's birthday party. whoa i owe her a lot.
