when i first asked my friend to do our enterainment last year he said that he will do it for free!! and i emailed yesterday and now he's wanting money for doing it!! he's only asking for 50 but he said first that he wont charge me!! but as it was on bookface chat i havent got to to prove to him so what do i do?? xx

the equipment is already there and he lives just around the corner!! he just to work where im having my reception but because he found a job in a club he left!!

Maybe hes having a hard time with money at the moment but was fine when he asked you? times are hard for people at the moment, at least he not charging £300 or somat daft.. i bet he felt awful asking you?

I can understand why you are annoyed. I would do what everyone else has suggested and say that you thought that this was his wedding gift to you

i am sure he wouldnt say he isnt doing it if he is a friend. i am sure that he wants to enjoy the day with you x

Hi Hun, it's tough times at the moment, he probably isn't earning as much as he used to now hence he changed his mind. I know it's annoying but it still won't cost you as much as if you hire another so maybe just mention that you didn't budget for it cos he said last year it's for free BUT that you don't mind as it's only for £ 50.00 then see if he offers any explanation so you know why the change of heart. Of course only do that if you really have £ 50.00 to spare and don't think you should make a bigger deal out of it which may affect the friendship. xx

Maybe just mention something but in a jokey way....I've had a lot of friends offer to do things, pay for things for us and i'm not holding them to it. If they want to do something then that is fine, but if they don't i do understand that people say things without truely thinking it all through. As others have said he may have just forgotten that he said he would do it for nothing, but also his circumstances may have changed and he needs the money.......it is a tricky one x
