Am I the Villain for Missing My Best Friend’s Wedding for a Celebrity Meet-and-Greet?
Picture this: You’ve been obsessed with a celebrity for years—posters on the wall, fan club membership, the whole deal. Now, imagine getting the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet them. The catch? It falls on the same the day which made me missing my best friend’s wedding.
That’s exactly what happened to me. And now my best friend, Sarah, isn’t speaking to me.
So, am I the villain here?
Flashback to the Setup
Sarah and I have been best friends since middle school. We’ve been through everything together, and I was genuinely excited about her wedding. But then… fate threw me a curveball.
Out of nowhere, my ultimate favorite actor—let’s call him “Chris Dreamboat”—announced a last-minute meet-and-greet in my city. Limited tickets. VIP experience. A personal photo and autograph. I could actually talk to him.
I panicked. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I told myself, “Sarah will understand.” Right?
The Big Decision
I called Sarah a week before her wedding and broke the news.
Me: “I have something important to tell you, and I really hope you won’t hate me.”
Sarah (already suspicious): “What is it?”
Me: “I… I can’t come to your wedding. I have this insane opportunity to meet Chris Dreamboat, and it’s on the same day.”
Silence.
Then, Sarah: “You’re joking, right?”
Me: “I swear, I thought about this so much. But I may never get this chance again!”
Her response? “So, you’re choosing a five-second interaction over my wedding?”
I tried explaining, but she wasn’t having it. She hung up. I texted her, apologized, even offered to take her out for a celebratory dinner afterward. She never replied.
The Fallout
The wedding happened. I saw the pictures on social media. She looked beautiful. And I felt… kinda guilty. But also, I MET CHRIS DREAMBOAT. And he was as charming as I imagined.
Still, Sarah hasn’t spoken to me since. Some mutual friends think I’m the worst person alive. Others get why I did it but admit they’d be mad too.
The Internet Weighs In
“Yeah, you’re the villain. It was ONE DAY. You could’ve met your celeb another time.”
“She’ll have another anniversary, but will you ever meet Chris Dreamboat again? Probably not.”
“If she was truly your best friend, she would’ve understood your lifelong dream.”
“Honestly, this is so bad that I almost respect the commitment.”
“You chose a stranger over a friend. Ouch.”
Final Verdict
So, was I heartless for skipping Sarah’s wedding for my celebrity obsession? Or was it just bad timing? Let me know—am I the villain?
