<human>: Hello r/relationships,

I love my best friend and was thrilled to pieces when she asked me to be her maid of honor in her wedding next October.

The problem is I live in Georgia and she lives in New Hampshire. The wedding will be in our home town in Northern NY.

I'm worried about the costs this wedding is going to incur for me. It's $500 round trip for me to get to that part of NY because the airport is so small. I don't know that I'll be able to be at the shower/bachelorette party in person and am already planning on giving up on going home for Christmas in order to be able to attend the wedding. I don't have much money or vacation time which is why I'm kind of struggling here. 

I feel like a terrible maid of honor. I have been considering asking to step down. I would love to help plan everything and chip in where I can, but the logistics and money required to make this all happen are really stressing me out. Advice?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Asked to be MOH in best friend's wedding. Looking at high costs of dress/planning/flights to do it. Not sure what to do.
