Got uninvited to a wedding and my Husband blames me

My husband and I were invited to his friends wedding until I made a fuss about a post the Bride posted. I assumed she was talking about us. When I asked I wasn’t the nicest but she did that to me in high school. she said it wasn’t and that she was talking about her grandpa and only asking for advice...
My husband and I were invited to his friends wedding until I made a fuss about a post the Bride posted. I assumed she was talking about us. When I asked I wasn’t the nicest but she did that to me in high school. she said it wasn’t and that she was talking about her grandpa and only asking for advice about the situation but I know it was about us. I asked her fiancé if the post was about us and he said maybe. (He was living with us until he finished college. They were doing long distance) I took his word for it and sent her a long message telling her she is immature and petty then told her she has a record of it. Which probably wasn’t ok to say since I told her a year ago we’d start on a clean slate. I then blocks her on everything. My husband told me I was creating unnecessary drama and showed me a text from his friend of a screen shot of her grandpa and her talking about the post. Then told me she hasn’t been anything but kind to us since we met and I shouldn’t use her pass against her. I still think it was about us. She never responded until a week later telling me she wasn’t talking about us and that I was disrespectful and we are uninvited to their wedding because she feels uncomfortable and tired of the drama and disrespect. Just because I called her out doesn’t mean I started anything. I was defending my relationship. Do they have the right to uninvite us? I think she needs a better reason.

    I agree the short answer is yes, she can uninvited you to their wedding. You're never guaranteed an invite or a place at anyone's wedding especially since they have to pay for not only you but your husband.

    The weird thing is that she said she forgives me but doesn’t want us there. She said maybe in the future things will be all good but for now she doesn’t want to see me. She also pulled the mental health card on me. She has anxiety apparently. “This isn’t good for my mental health” Then said I drain her with my “drama” and that if I talked to her respectfully things would be different. She’s a joke

    Your mind sounds made up that you don’t respect her as a person or as a friend, so it’s best you aren’t attending. Take a breath and let it go.


    Making fun of someone’s mental health is not ok, neither is calling her a “joke” because she expressed her feelings.
    Time is best for you two, and I would not want a relationship like this at just wedding either - a wedding is about love and happiness, not petty drama.

    That’s a much more mature sounding statement than you’ve given. And insulting someone’s battle with mental health? I don’t think she’s the joke here.

    I'm sorry, but if this was a situation I was in as the bride, I would absolutely not want you at the wedding. I don't know why you would want to be there as it is. No one wants added stress, drama, or the possibility of feeling uncomfortable on their wedding day. If you two don't get along but your BF if good enough friends with the groom, I think maybe he could still go but it'd be an event you'd have to sit out for. It sounds harsh, but I think you overreacted to something in a negative way.

    Okay after reading some more of your comments it seems that you feel she is in the wrong and you are not and I do not think any of us can make you see otherwise. You do not have to like her decision but it is what it is. Let it go and move on with your life and have a happy one.

    Yes, she absolutely has the right to disinvite you. To be honest, after what you did, I wouldn’t have wanted you at my wedding either. I just feel bad for your significant other- he now has to miss an important moment in his friend’s life because of your behavior.

    Why would you even want to attend a wedding you weren’t wanted at? Sounds uncomfortable to me. It also sounds like you’re being the immature/petty one in this situation esp. after reading your further comments. Takes everyone else’s advice and drop it.

    I’m going to be blunt. You need to let this go and reflect on your part in this. It takes two to tango; you’re not an innocent bystander in this. She has every right to uninvite you. You have to accept that and move on. At this point, we’re all just going around in circles telling you the same thing.

    Unfortunately, I think it is just best to let this go at this point. She doesn't want you at the wedding because of how you treated her. Maybe she was talking about you in the post, maybe she wasn't. But you went a little too far calling her names and then honestly, you can't expect to still have a seat at her wedding. It isn't right... and I agree with Chrysta, now your partner has to miss his buddy's wedding because of your actions. This could have all been avoided. And the little bit about the mental health thing and saying your friend is a joke is not nice, to be honest. When people hurt my feelings or say disrespectful things, it gives me anxiety and some stress so that part kind of made me raise my eyebrow. If you think she is a joke, you shouldn't be surprised about not being invited to her wedding. I would consider this friendship over at this point.

    She absolutely has the right. You called her out on something that you didn't have the full story to and then they proved that she was referring to her grandfather and not you at all. And you blocked her on social media... If one of my guests did that, I'd assume that they weren't coming anyway.

    I can't blame her one bit for uninviting you. Ypu went out of your way to berate her for something that may have not even been about you at all. My SIL is notorious for vague status updates that are very pointed but it just warrants an eyeroll and I see it as a ploy for attention.
    "Just because I called her out doesn’t mean I started anything"
    You ABSOLUTELY started it. And she finished it in a way that was best handled.

    You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Cut off contact with her. She seems narcissistic anyways

    Why would she invite you to her wedding if you are creating drama? Regardless of whether or not the original post was about you, if you are going to go ahead and call someone immature and petty and block them on social media then I think they'd be crazy to want you at their wedding. No one wants drama at their wedding and she uninvited you for that exact reason.

    I just want to start by saying that I'm not trying to be mean at all when saying this. Honestly, she has every right to un-invite you to the wedding b/c it's their wedding. After she said the post wasn't about you, you should've dropped it. Only she knows who the post is about b/c she posted it. I'm not sure if you feel some type of guilt from her post b/c it may be about something you did or said in the past that her grandpa has done recently (which could be why it was recently posted); but I don't know what the post is about, and it's none of my business. But, by keeping the communication going after she told you it isn't about you and calling her petty and immature, I'm not surprised that she uninvited you. I 100% would uninvite one of my guests if they acted that way and came at me like that. I wouldn't want that negativity and awkwardness at my wedding. It's fine to vent to others about the post if you think it's about you, but again, only she knows who she posted it about. I'd be more worried at this point that you've completely ruined you and your husband's relationship with this couple. I do agree with your husband though. I think you've now created unnecessary drama.

    I talked with my husband he added that I brought up her past. ( A year ago I fussed at her and blocked her on everything over her opinion of something. I later told her I was sorry and that we could start over) He said not only did I call her names but I brought up the past after saying we’d start over. He reminded me she was in high school still while we were in college. (She is the youngest out of us all). I never met her at that time and was rude then. I don’t know why I’m mean to her. I didn’t realize I was.

    He also reminded me that she has been very kind to us. She checked up on me when I was in a car accident and when I lost my grandma. No matter how I treated her she was kind and giving. She’s kinda shy so I feel maybe that’s why I feel like I can be mean and get away with it. I need to work on myself I guess.
