The official reason for her firing me was that she felt that she and her wedding were not a priority to me. In reality, she'd been working with this other girl, who'd been serving as an amateur wedding coordinator, and was upset that I didn't start planning her shower three months in advance. (I was kind of busy graduating from college, moving, nearly being disowned, and looking for a job at the time.) So rather than talk to me when she was upset with me, she let it fester for several weeks, then called a tribal council of the rest of the bridal party and kicked me off the island.

OMG!
What is it about some brides that make them think they are being crowned Empress of India instead of just getting married? It's her wedding, not yours - why should it be your highest priority? Bridal attendants are not slaves - they are supposed to be your specially chosen friends and family who deserve the honor of standing up at the front with you when you get married, not personal shoppers. And you're not obligated to throw a shower as an attendant - in fact, no one is obligated to throw a shower or to even buy a gift! No matter what you do, Cat, you will come out as the better person in this. You could dance naked in the chocolate fountain at the reception and still be on higher ground morally.
