Amy ditches Bernadette during an important event in 'The Countdown Reflection'

As much as Amy seems to treasure her relationships with "Penny's Posse" (the name given to the Penny-Bernadette-Amy friendship group on "The Big Bang Theory"), she sometimes puts her self-interests above what her friends need or want. In addition to her sometimes-smothering friendship with Penny, she can occasionally be very self-absorbed around Bernadette. This trait usually helps to round her character out, but it can also prove to be annoying at times.

During Season 5, Bernadette and Howard begin to plan their wedding. Penny and Amy are a huge part of that process; Amy is even named maid of honor. What promises to be a joyful occasion becomes a day where Amy makes Bernadette's nuptials all about her and her desire to be seen as important and worthy. When she learns Bernadette and Howard are forgoing the big ceremony and pushing up the wedding date before he heads to Russia as part of a NASA mission that will see him spend months on the International Space Station, Amy reacts poorly and becomes a nuisance instead of helping Bernadette.

The situation comes to a head during one particular scene in Season 5, Episode 24, "The Countdown Reflection." Amy shows up at Bernadette and Howard's city hall wedding in a tiara and her maid of honor dress. She is forthright about her anger that she won't get to be part of a big wedding. She does not hide her annoyance at being forced to attend a small-scale wedding, which in turn encourages her rudeness. When the ceremony gets pushed back due to the number of people ahead of them, Amy decides to offer up her services to the other waiting couples on the off chance they need a maid of honor.
