Taken from life. “After my friend's wedding, I pulled the money out of the envelope I gave her”: I don't regret it

Weronika and I have been friends since school. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/4b7637/620x0/1/0/2025/02/07/ic6u6dyyzes21kdbaxagkx1igzhx9e9fkhodlwb6.jpg" alt = "wedding, source: pexels" styles = "background-color: rgba (108,95,75.1)" > < p > there was a time when we almost stopped communicating, but a few years p & oacute; we resumed everything.

< p > My friends & oacute; Łka got married early, but somehow the family did not work out. Four years of p & oacute; she and her husband divorced and for many years Weronika lived with C & Amp; Oacute; RKI.

< p > I always knew that my friends & oacute; łka could not be happy. She went through many men, but rejected them all because of their income & oacute; For some reason, Weronika already in high school decided that she had to find her own oligarch. “I don't want to live in poverty! I need a man who will keep me!” < P >Due to her consumer views, my friends & oacute; Łka was always skeptical about my husband. For her, he is almost a poor man, although I think that my husband's m & oacute; Over the years of marriage, we have already bought two apartments and we go on vacation once a year. < p > found a rich older man who was eager to spend his money on her. They just lived together for two years. Weronika pr & oacute; she was “push him to marry”, as she put it, but he was in no hurry.

< p > A few months ago Friends & Amp; Oacute; Łka flew to our meeting almost on the wings.

< p >––-it was! We submitted an application at the Registry Office! You are also invited and there is no remark; Oacute; Weronika, beaming, told me. And I was not going to refuse to wage. I assured my friends that my husband and I would definitely come to congratulate her such a wonderful event. < P >Weronika decided to do everything with a flourish. This is her style. He wants everyone to see her success. It's her day, so she has full right to do so.

< p > I wondered for a long time how much money to give friends & okute; łce for a wedding. We didn't want her to look bad before the Groom and his family. Otherwise, they would think that the bride's side was just a parasite who came to eat for free. We decided that we can afford to donate ten thousand. For us it is a decent amount — Half of my monthly salary.

< P >Everything went great at the registry office. The bride looked like a Hollywood film star. Then all guests went to the restaurant. At first I didn't feel any trick. At the entrance, all guests were registered and led to a table & with personal identifiers. Everything around was so beautiful and elegant that only I was to look at my head to look at everything carefully. < p > m & oacute; Jer and I were led to the table. But time passed and hot food was served, but there was still no bride and groom. Strange, I thought. And then my husband m & oacute; so that he saw how they were entering the room opposite our! It wasn't until after a while that I realized that Weronika had separated the guests! She rented two rooms. One was for the bride and groom and those guests who were richer, and the other was for us! < p > We didn't have a host here or a performance & oacute; but there was a lot of fun! Because the guests came out from time to time to refresh, I managed to see what was happening in the second room several times. And it was almost as if Cirque du Soleil was on the road! Everything shone, called and sang. Aunt Weronika was sitting next to us. She is a nice woman, I have known her for a long time. But she is a teacher, and her husband worked at the factory all his life. Apparently it also did not reach the second hall. < p > then we saw a cake delivered to the second hall. It wasn't a cake. It was the Babel tower! We were simply served cakes. We spent a few hours at the wedding, then decided to leave. Nobody would notice it anyway. The bride has never visited us at that time.

< p > Before leaving, I took half the amount from the envelope and put it on the table with presents. I never felt so terrible.

< P >< Strong > look: Ewa Bem in the first interview after losing her husband. She mentioned C & Amp; Oacute; RCE
