Now THIS is some stupid wedding drama

[Deleted]

Does anyone remember my delusional friend?  She's getting married in May, and I'm the matron of honor.  Well, she's refusing to let me sing in her wedding.  Mind you, I didn't even ask.  She brought it up like, "and just so you know, you're not singing in the wedding.  I don't trust you."   Now, I actually find this hilarious, because why would you not trust someone to sing in your wedding, provided they can actually sing?  I sing all the time.  She knows this and thinks I'm great.  Plus she refuses to tell me why she doesn't trust me because she "doesn't want to give me any ideas".  I truly need to know what horrors she's envisioning here.  Like an inappropriate cabaret performance or a death metal rendition of the Lord's Prayer?  She won't offer any further details.  It's 100% foolishness and I can't say I'm not enjoying being a part of it. 

No need to respond and/or care, because I couldn't offer any more details if I wanted to.  Delusional friend is still delusional.

I heard she was watching American idol decided she is as good as J Lo and was fearful you might be pitchy.

If I ever get married again, you're singing at MY wedding. I don't care that it'll be the first time we've met.

[shostakovich]

Or this?

I see a karaoke sing off at the reception in your friend's future.

Is there any weird chance that she actually WANTS you to do something unexpected to surprise her? W/ all the viral wedding videos that are out there, I just wonder if she wants to have one of "those" experiences but wants it to be planned w/o her knowing?

[daisycat]

You totally have to sing your MOH speech at the reception.

[idoinjuly]

Maybe she's worried that you'll bust out the squirrel pasties while you perform?

I truly lack a drama gene. I'm wishing I had one in times like these. I did try to play along a little and offered to audition a piece over the phone. I think she thought I was serious. Then I upped the ante and threatened to challenge the girl she chose to sing (who isn't as good as I am) to a winner-take-all singoff. She didn't think that was a bad idea either.

I have to love this girl. She knows me so well, but yet not at all. If she didn't have other examples of delusional behavior I'd think she was fucking with me.

ECB, I've thought about that.  But she'd already mentioned that I should coordinate with the other bridesmaids to choreograph a "surprise" routine for Beyonce's Love on Top to perform at the reception.  She'd be Beyonce of course.    Luckily this was last summer or so before the wedding was postponed so I got out of that one.  She hasn't mentioned anything else, thank God.

Oh, JFC.  I feel for you....

The appropriate response here is "Its OK, I was planning on interpretive dance anyway."

[sparkythelawyer]

I would also be tempted to discuss, every time this lady was around how important it is to be trustworthy, and how important it is to be able to trust someone and blah blah blah. But I'm a jerk.

[eddy]

Is she saying this in the way that my kid says not to tickle him anymore then lifts up his shirt?

I feel like she wants you to do a whole production!

[Deleted]

I can't even pretend too hard to give a shit because she knows I don't. We've been friends for 20+ years for a reason. She's the last man standing. This probably says as much about me as it does about her.

[pantsparty]

Maybe she's seen this scene one too many times.

[sunshineluv]

I did not expect this thread to make me laugh so much.

I'm not! He was Italian, he made it an old country story. He was one of those guys, when he talked, people listened. People were so into the story.

I also met 50 cent in an elevator that same weekend!

Too far.

dude, it's totally because prince or LL (whoever it was that made meaningful eye contact with her) is doing a cameo. she can't trust you not to ruin their awesomeness with a duet.

But do your squirrel pasties match the dress? Because if not, then, yeah, forget it.

Did he repeat the chorus?  I'm cracking up over this.
