Here is my scenario (Sorry it’s long, this just happened so I’m a bit worked up):
My husband is a groomsman in an old school chums wedding (On the opposite coast from where we live). The bride is best friends with my husbands ex, and the ex is a bridesmaid. I have only met the bride and groom briefly a couple of times, and have never met the ex.
My husband and his ex are not on good terms (she really let her crazy show when he ended their relationship) and the bride obviously sided with her best friend. And so even though they broke up ages ago, and we have been happily married for several years, there is still some awkwardness.
All that to say: the wedding is in a few months, and the formal invitation arrived today. Addressed only to my husband. No +1 included. I know basic wedding etiquette and that only the people addressed on the invitation are invited.
My husband, bless his heart, assumed it was just etiquette ignorance on the bride and grooms part, and texted the groom to see if I was Invited. The response was along the lines of “oh, I guess she can come if she wants” which seems pretty clear to me.
With that being said: what should I do? My husband said he would back out of the wedding, but I don’t think that’s the mature thing to do so close to the date. However I dont really feel comfortable going knowing I’m not wanted. But then my husband said he wouldn’t go without me.
Any advice appreciated, I feel so hurt. I’ve already sent this couple multiple engagement/wedding gifts that they have acknowledged so it’s not like they forgot I existed.
Help!
