Maid of Honour or Money Pit? Why I Ended My Friendship After Her Wedding

I’ve been best friends with Demilade since kindergarten. We were like sisters, shared every secret and cheered each other on through university. When she got engaged in 2023, I was honoured to be her maid of honour. But her demands soon went beyond sentimental favours. She insisted on a custom outfit, designer shoes and a ₦200k makeup bill. Then she billed us ₦120k each for a bridal shower she planned herself. I couldn’t afford the extra cost and politely declined. She kicked me off the planning chat, insulted me for being “miserly” and demanded I apologise. After the wedding, I sent a quiet congratulations—and soft-blocked her. I miss her every day, but I know I can’t return to a friendship built on optics.
