Bride kicked me out of her wedding? Who is in the wrong here?

it sounds like you just don't have the time necessisary to fulfill this obligation. I would send the dress back to her with a wedding gift and leave it at that......

If it was my wedding and my maid of honor flagged me off and didn't seem invested in the wedding at all, I would kick her out too. It is such an important occasion, and yours is such a major role in it. It is more (much more) than just showing up on the day. You are her partner in the whole thing, and if you cannot do this then just step down with apologies. I get the work thing, but you could have canceled the lunch and any other things to devote this time to her. She will only be a bride once (at least for a while) so surely you could clear your time to be there for her. Sera

Thank you, all I can do at this point is apologize to her and keep going with my life. I am not originally from this country, so I had no idea what American weddings are like and what a maid of honor is responsible for. I just can't believe she would want to destroy our friendship over this and not want me to come to the wedding at all. But it is what it is, I suppose and I really appreciate your helpful input.
