I ditched my best friend’s wedding to go to work – I cut up my maid of honour dress too, but SHE’S the bad guy here
A WOMAN has divided opinion after she revealed she ditched being maid of honour at her best friend's wedding to work instead.
Amy Dikinson, from Queensland, Australia, was originally looking forward to supporting her childhood bestie on her big day.
But that all quickly went downhill when Amy received the invitation only to realise the wedding day clashed with a work event already in her calendar.
Taking to TikTok, Amy explained that although the story might put her in a bad light, it was really her mate who caused all the drama.
It turns out that the work event was no little obligation Amy could get out of, but rather a big event for her own business she'd been planning for ages and had already put a lot of time and money into.
"My best friend decided to book her wedding on the same day, was this intentional? I think so," Amy explained in the viral video.

In the clip, the entrepreneur went on to call her former best friend "petty and bitter".
So, Amy made her feelings known loud and clear by ripping up the invitation and sending it back to her friend, along with her bridesmaid dress which she also cut into multiple pieces.
Speaking to , Amy said this isn't the first time her friend has been so petty, and noted that she'd always been a little bit jealous of her success.
"We would go shopping and something would look amazing and she would screw her face up and say she hates it - but then something would look awful and she would say to buy it," Amy said.

What made Amy even more convinced her friend had booked her wedding on the same day on purpose was the fact it was "a random Thursday in February" - not a day with any meaning to her pal.
"It's a Thursday! That makes it so much worse, who is getting married on a Thursday? She definitely did that on purpose," one person commented on the video.
And another wrote: "Your friend was clearing sabotaging your business!"
Amy replied to one of the comments, revealing that she ended up blocker her former bestie on social media because of the drama.
Meanwhile, someone else said: "You definitely need to reconsider this friendship and boundaries. She doesn't sound like your best friend. Best friend and longest friend are different."
And others suggested Amy should call the venue to see if she had really booked her wedding for the same day.
However, not everyone was convinced by Amy's story and thought she could be making it all up to get attention for her business.
"I feel like this story is really good marketing for your event, I'm not sure if it's true but slay," one person commented.

"Sorry, but this scream marketing," another said.
And someone else agreed: "This seems like a really good ad for the event."
