Wedding Party Help

Hello, anyone who stops to read this,

I don't really know who to turn to for advice on this subject. I was supposed to get married this past June in 2020 but due to Covid-19 my fiancé and I made the decision to push it back to 2021. At the same time, my very best friend from high school, as well as one of my bridesmaids was also set to get married in October. The sad thing that happened was over the summer we had a small falling out, stress over work, school, and a lack of communication lead to us pulling apart from one another for a short time. We were able to work everything out. She pushed her wedding back a year as well but opted to as least get married legally this year. So the day came and went, and though we have started talking again and hanging out again when I asked her how the day went, she said it was a very low-key family thing. The problem is that yesterday I decided to get coffee with another one of our friends in our friend group. And she let it slip that there was a party and made it sound like my fiancé and I was not supposed to find out about the event at all. At this point, I don't know what to do. I know we had a rough summer but by the time her small wedding rolled around, we were on talking terms. Hell! I even asked her where to send her gift and everything. I feel stuck and at this point, I'm not 100% sure if I want her to still be in my wedding party. Of course, still want her at the wedding. I don't want to seem petty but I would be lying if I said that it didn't really hurt. What would be the best way to ask her why I was left out? And does she really deserve a place next to me on the special day?

Thanks for any help.

    I honestly would just come out and ask her if there is a reason that you weren't invited. As far as her being in your wedding, is your reasoning for being on the fence because you weren't invited to her small wedding? If you guys have made up, then I wouldn't hold it against her. Especially if you two had a good relationship. But if you don't want her in your wedding party then there is no obligation. Maybe you two should just sit down and have a talk

    Unfortunately it sounds like the friendship has run its course if she is actively avoiding you. Let it go at this point. If she wanted to rekindle a friendship and bring you back into her life, this is not how it's done.

    I agree with Yasmine. I would just ask her about it and see what comes of the conversation. You may get all the answers you need.

    I would nicely tell her that someone let if slip that they were invited to a party for her wedding and you were wondering why you hadn't been included. I wouldn't point fingers or anything that could make her go on defense, but I definitely understand why you would be hurt. Also, sometimes you aren't meant to remain friends with the same people throughout your entire life. I lost someone I considered a best friend during my wedding planning process. I learned really quickly she wasn't actually a friend, but rather a backstabber. While it definitely hurt, it was better for me to find out the truth before the wedding otherwise I would've looked back at photos of her at my wedding and regretted her being there.

    Time to have a “come to Jesus” meeting. You need to talk with her. I have a friend that I used to be really close to. Unless I reach out to her she never calls me. She’s not part of my wedding party but she is invited to our wedding. I’ve talked to her about it before but it doesn’t fix the issue. I’ve just stopped trying- she’ll call if she really wants to.

    Definitely talk to her about it. But instead of asking why you weren't invited, I would ask her why she felt like she needed to hide it from you. That aspect of it is more alarming to me than the fact that you didn't receive an invite. But once you have that conversation with her, you'll probably have more clarity as to where you stand with her and your wedding.
