‘Bullet Dodged’: JetBlue Refunds Jilted Bridesmaid’s Tickets After Viral Tweet

MBA Dartmouth Business School candidate Courtney Duffy found herself sidelined recently after her friend, Alex, dropped her from the bridal party because she prioritized school life over her friend's weekend-long wedding preparations.

Duffy was made aware of her removal via a passive aggressive Friday email from her supposed friend.

"I'm so glad to hear you booked flights! I'm sorry classes are taking such a long time to sort out. I know how hard you're working to be here for the wedding and it means so much to us!" a copy of the email obtained by Elle reads. "I have a massive favor to ask you, though — and this is one of the hardest things I've ever had to ask anyone — but I need to ask you to relinquish your duties as a bridesmaid."

And down goes the bomb.

​Duffy took to Twitter and thanked the airline, stressing "this is about more than just an email," according to local Pennsylvania news station Fox 43.

"I'm hoping this thread reminds future lovebirds and bridal parties to keep their feet on the ground:)," she added.

While Duffy is more at ease, thanks to JetBlue's response, the Twitterverse isn't done dishing out its opinions. Many netizens have argued that if Duffy wasn't able to commit to the entire weekend of wedding festivities, she shouldn't have been a bridesmaid. Others, on the other hand, have told the student that she "dodged a bullet."
