Beginner June 2021

My friend skipped my wedding and never told me she wouldn’t make it.

Just venting...I’ve been friends with this woman for 10 years. When I first met my husband she’d always ask when the wedding would be. About every six months for four years she’d ask if we had set a date. Well when we finally set a date she was the first person I told because she had asked so much....
Just venting...I’ve been friends with this woman for 10 years. When I first met my husband she’d always ask when the wedding would be. About every six months for four years she’d ask if we had set a date. Well when we finally set a date she was the first person I told because she had asked so much. She seemed excited,she was sending me decor ideas and all. A couple weeks before the wedding she mentions how excited she is. She didn’t attend the bridal or bachelorette. She told me she already made other plans and I understood that. Then I remember the week of the wedding that I did not send her an invitation but I had spoken to her and she knew I was expecting to see her the day of the wedding . A mutual friend told me she would be on a trip the day of my wedding. She never mentioned that she wouldn’t make it to my wedding or anything. So I called her the next day. No answer. I texted,she read it. Posted pictures of her trip, that’s it. So I guess it’s safe to say that friendship is over. What friend knows the entire time they can’t attend the wedding but won’t speak up. One thing’s for sure, you find out who your real friends are especially when you’re planning your wedding.

    Tough one! I had a couple people who knew and did have invitations but never responded when they’ve been asking for 8 years when we were getting married! People... lol

    She probably thought you cut her because you sent her no invitation, and was upset.

    I’m personally not a fan of friendships ending over a wedding. Your wedding day should be important to you and your fiancé. You cannot control what others do or why they do it. I’m not sure what you expect, you didn’t even send her an invitation? She probably feels sad that she wasn’t invited and was giving you the silent treatment. Sounds like you guys have some talking to do.

    Over the phone?!?! Ok. That’s interesting. No, I haven’t attended a black wedding where they did that 😬 (and I’ve been to plenty). But you didn’t do phone calls for your wedding, right? You sent actual invitations and you didn’t send her one. Not even a hand delivered invitation (and you said she lives close). You actually didn’t think about her invitation until a week before the wedding, and she should have been at the top of your guest list. Ouch!


    So, she wasn’t invited. Therefore, she didn’t attend and agreed go on a trip that she was actually invited to. Yes, it’s unfortunate. But, I can understand your friend and how she felt not receiving an invitation to the wedding of her good friend of 10 years.

    I agree, not only did she make the plans before formally being invited. But being invited to a wedding a week before the wedding makes it seem like you were b listed. As if you didn't have room to accommodate her until others declined.
