She had a small wedding in a church and then we went to a restaurant for lunch but we just ordered off the menu and everyone paid for their own meals. I gave her a gift card to a nice restaurant as a gift (normally I would just give money but I know they loved dining out but can’t usually afford it). and about a year later she came across it and texted me that they probably weren’t going to use it and asked if I could give her cash for it. Isn’t that a bit tacky? Wouldn’t most adults (and she is a grown women with 2 kids) realize that? Her excuse for not using it was the restaurant was to far (It is only 20 minutes away).
She probably has an opiod problem, that's why she wants the cash. Use the gift card to pay for an intervention specialist and get her help right away.
If there's a scale of tackiness from 1 to 10, giving a gift card as a wedding gift is about a 5. I mean, that's just phoning it in. It's the equivalent of saying, "I know it's the most important day of your life and all, but I couldn't devote more than five seconds to thinking about it. So I just grabbed something off the rack while at the grocery store." You've heard the expression, "It's the thought that counts"? There you go.
On the other hand, demanding cash is a 9. So your friend is about 4 point tackier than you are.
Maybe her friend was offended by the gift card and is now trying to be passive aggressive.

I would just ignore the text and pretend like she never asked such a thing because it’s ridiculously rude for her to do so.

Did the card have an expiration date? If it didn't I would ask for the card back, give her the $ and kiss that ill mannered, self centered, tacky friendship good bye.
Then go out and treat someone special at that restaurant, you both enjoy a good meal and move on.
This is your friend we are talking about. I didn't realize they were a junkie alcoholic or anything.
