I wonder how these people think. There were a couple of weddings of old friends of mine that I was not invited to.

In one case I was supposed to be the Maid of Honor - I didn't even know the bride, but she apparently had no friends. I was happily released from this obligation later. But thenI found out that I had been completely dropped from the guest list. Bizarre people.

In both of my uninvited cases, I admit I was miffed that I wasn't invited - but who would want to attend their wedding after being snubbed like that? The bizarre couple actually said "oh, we can give you an invite anyway" and I said "F.ck you, you people are nuts."

Who would want to go where they're not wanted?

Been a faithful reader of Etiquette Hell for some years now. I think I found it around the time that I was planning my wedding. I even gave her first book as Christmas gifts to lots of friends. I browse the boards periodically. In another life if I had more time and wasn't already participating in a few boards, I'd probably be on there too. Some of the stories really amaze me though.

Not quite the same, but I had a similar experience. I had a friend from college who ended up moving to L.A., and she ended up being my housemate for a little while. Things came up, and at the time that she moved out, we'd kind of drifted apart/had a minor falling out, so we didn't keep in touch at all. A few years later, after I'd gotten my own house, she called up my parents' house and she left word for me, so I called her back. We talked for a little bit, and she told me that she was getting married to the boyfriend she'd had when we were still friends. She told me a little about the wedding plans, and there wasn't much more to the conversation. I kept expecting her to tell me she was sending me an invitation, but she never said anything and no invitation arrived, so I had no idea what the point of her calling was. Maybe she figured she'd talk to me for a bit to see whether or not I should get an invitation, and I guess I didn't pass the test? I don't know. I wasn't disappointed at not getting an invitation as I hadn't been too fond of her boyfriend anyway. I just thought it was a weird call.
