Last April I applied to a school in Italy to Study for my Masters. At the time I was Wait listed Due to the fact that they can only take 12 students a semester. Then Jan 3rd of this year my best friend asked me to be in her wedding and I told her Yes. Well today I received my acceptance letter to the University. The semester starts Sept 12th and is until Dec 13. Her Wedding is Nov 7th. If I go to this school I will not be able to be in her wedding. I Can't afford to spend another 1200 on a plane ticket for 3days. This school is costing me 20,000 dollars a semester. Not including books and living expenses. I didn't mention to my friend that I had been wait listed at the time she asked me to be in her wedding because I didn't think I was ever going to get in and was getting ready to start looking at other schools. I feel really torn I know that getting married is a really big step in someones life. I love my best friend and I dont want to hurt her feelings. But I also have waited over a year to get into this University and if I turn it down I will probably never get another chance. This is my final step go reaching my lifes goal and now I feel like I can't even be happy about it. So what I'm asking is does anyone have any advice on how I should bring this up to my friend and what I should say? I know that my friend has always been there for me and I know that I could always just finish my masters at my current school but this is my dream Help!

a lot of people aren't going to like my answer so I'm prepping for the thumbs down. Her wedding is not contributing to your future and it won't further you in life and it won't support you but your education will. You call her ASAP and tell her that you were accepted into the Master's Program of your first choice school you were wait listed on and you're very sorry but you won't be able to attend her wedding and you wanted to let her know so she could replace you. Then you buy her something for her home while you're in Italy and send it to her for her wedding gift. I'd like to think that she's a real friend and she'll be disappointed that you won't be there but thrilled for you. Congratulations! ::squeeing and jumping up and down for you::
