You are better off being set free, I'm surprised YOU put up with as much as you did from her. Bride or not.. no one should treat a friend like that. All I can say... is I feel sorry for her husband to be... yikes!
She is the one who is way out of line here and you are lucky that she is no longer "friends" with you. She obvioulsy doesn't give a crap about your feelings or that the world does not revolve around her or the wedding. I would definitley take her up on the offer to buy the dress and she should pay you at least what you paid for it, if not more.
Do not let her pay less than the value sinc eyou never even wore it. You are actually better off without her and don't need someone like her in your life. I hope your dad recovers from his injury and that you and your fiancee have a wonderful wedding.
At least now you know who your true friends are.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
