Weddings are friendship deal breakers if the friendship is weak. There are too many favors, too many tasks, too much required devotion and Aqua Net for imposters like me. I tried to make eye contact with Francine, to give her a knowing good-bye smile like a ghost of a loved one in a movie. It was no usue, I decided to cut my final pink wire. There would be no more yearly "happy birthdays" and certainly no more bonding with the girl in the duct tape dress. That ship had sailed. Sloane Crosley
About This Quote

The power of weddings and the joy they bring, is in the special relationship between the two people that tie them together for life. However, when that relationship becomes too intense and becomes a chore, that is where weddings can be a friendship breaker. A good friend will not expect you to do anything more than you already put into your friendship. They know that your work is never done and they understand your dedication to them. Therefore, they do not become overbearing and unsupportive when you decide to cut ties with them.
