Best man’s fiancé not invited to wedding

Hello all.


I need some brutally honest opinions.
If you were the finance of a best man, but not invited to the said wedding, would you be happy inviting that couple that snubbed you to your own wedding?
I would like to retain the moral high ground wherever possible, but I am pretty hurt at the exclusion (he’s the only person who didn’t get a plus one). They are best friends so it would be so weird to not have him at our wedding and I would never sub his wife. But my pride has been quite wounded. Should I man up?

    Honestly, we did not invite my partner's best friend's girlfriend. She and I don't get along and she tends to make everything about her (she basically announced her pregnancy at my baby shower and took a lot of attention away from me). I really don't care if I don't get invited to their wedding if they ever get married and even if I do, I probably wouldn't go. Idk about your fiancé's friends, do they have an issue with you? If not, it's pretty strange. I would understand trying to keep the guest list small for budget reasons, but if he's the only one not allowed to bring a plus one, that seems very unfair.

    We have had nothing but lovely interactions everytime we have met. I was asking the bride about her wedding plans at a wedding we both attended recently. At this point I had no idea that everyone had already received their invitations apart from my partner and I. I suspect because they didn’t quite know how to tell him I wasn’t invited.

    All of this. If your fiance doesn’t see an issue with this disrespect, then you need to reevaluate your relationship with him and put your own wedding planning on hold indefinitely. Their behavior now is a small glimpse into how marriage will be.

    Wow, I’m really surprised that your fiancé would agree to going without you. That’s a huge disrespect to your relationship. Pretty sure I would not be ok with the blatant rudeness.

    Honestly, forget what the couple did. Why is your fiance still ok standing up there with his "best friend" when they didnt include you? Its not like youre a gf of 3 days. You guys are engaged! You are now a unit. He should have dropped out of the wedding as soon as yall had learned you werent invited.
