John, you're under arrest.

Oh, no, don't do it.

I'm an OGoki story time podcast host. I don't care. I'm making sure that you stay here for the next two minutes. All right, I'll be detained for the two more minutes before we get into this episode. Yeah, we got some ads coming up, so stick around. Think around. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human I skipped my friend's wedding and I refuse to hide the reason why.

You tell them the truth.

I, 35 female, am still friends with some of the people I went to college with.

One of them, Debbie, fake name, 36 female, got married this past January after being engaged for two years.

I'm Carly.

I'm Dakota.

And O.P. says, early in the planning process,

Debbie had asked my six-year-old daughter, who was five at the time, to be the flower girl.

We agreed, and she had the dress sent to us right away. We barely spoke about the subject for a while.

Then the wedding was delayed by almost a year. The original

date was in March 24. I'm still not sure why. I've heard three or four different reasons.

By the time the actual wedding date came around, the flower girl dress did not fit my daughter anymore.

We didn't find out till roughly 10 days before the wedding, which is admittedly my fault.

And I texted Debbie right away to ask what I should do about it.

Her first reply was, figure it out.

I tried to ask her where she'd bought the dress, where I could get a similar one, or whether it would be okay for my

daughter to wear a different dress. Honestly, dude, after she gives you the figure it out,

you'd just do whatever you want. To play devil's advocate, though, also, why didn't you check

if the flower girl dress fit till 10 days before the wedding? Yeah, well, it did get pushed back a lot.
