One of the girls from our friendship group had their hen do this weekend and one of the girls didn't come. She said she's in a bad way so didn't feel up to it....but met another one of the girls the night before for drinks.
I can't help but feel disappointed in her that she didn't just come to something of the hen to celebrate our friend getting married which is (hopefully) once in a lifetime. Am I being harsh on her?

This might be unpopular but I’d be upset too. People are very self centered. You can’t want a village and then not show up for other people.
Everyone is busy. Everyone is tired. It’s still important to show up for your people

The friend is a bit of the AH. She didn't plan accordingly to ensure she could be there for her friend for a significant and special night. However, if I was the bride I wouldn't want someone who was hungover and feeling sick coming to my hen party, they would bring the vibes down and could even end up ruining the night.

I had my daughters birthday yesterday and felt fine but when we got back the most awful migraine hit me and I was even throwing up. So I can understand your friend maybe being sick all of a sudden. Now if she was lying then she is an ahole.
When I say in a bad way, I mean mentally!
