Get It Off Your Chest - I can't afford my best friends wedding

On today’s Get It Off Your Chest, one listener found herself at the centre of a full-blown friendship row after admitting she simply can’t afford to attend her best friend’s wedding. Sarah says once she added up the cost of the hotel, outfit, gift, drinks, taxis and turning it into a weekend away, she realised the total was eye-watering. After telling her friend she couldn’t make it because money is tight, the reaction was far from understanding. Now she’s wondering if she’s being a bad friend or if wedding costs have completely spiralled out of control. The gang debate friendship, finances and whether saying no to a wedding should really cause this much drama.
