Moving forward

Apple, on December 7, 2020 at 4:56 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

I attended a wedding of someone who I've know for a long time, over the last year or so we have drifted a bit but still good friends.
At the wedding, she went out of her way to ignore me and only said hello once when on the dance floor with some other people.
Not sure how to move forward with this. Was odd behaviour.

    At a wedding, most brides would feel overwhelmed and can’t find the time to have a small talk with everyone. I think that what possibly happened there.

    I wouldn't take it personally. Many brides (and grooms) are overwhelmed qnd have to speak to several different people. I recommend you consider reaching out to her a couple of months after the wedding.

    I can count on one hand how many of my 125 guests I had the time to have a conversation with at my wedding. Brides and grooms are busy, I wouldn’t take it personally.

    We only had 35 people at our wedding, and somehow we still didn't have time to make the rounds to all of the tables. I barely got to talk to anyone outside of my bridal party and immediate family and feel terrible about it, but am hoping our guests understand. My head was just not all there that day.

    I definitely wouldn't take it personally.

    I wouldn't think much about it. maybe reach out to her after and if things are normal with you guys then it could be an isolated event. but as everyone already mentioned, this isn't abnormal. i had 250 people at my wedding and i 100000% didn't say hi to everyone at all ahah.

    During table visits was the only time I was able to address each guest individually. We were so busy with everything, taking time to have long conversations with everyone just isn’t possible. I would not stress over this and move on as normal.

    I agree with everyone else, she could've just been overwhelmed or busy. Have you tried talking to her since the wedding?

    I agree with the others – I think you are taking personally some very innocent and unintentional behaviour. The fact that you were invited to the wedding tells me that the Bride did not have any intention of breaking things off or distancing herself from you. I would imagine that she was quite busy and flustered and just didn’t have the time to thoroughly address you at the wedding.

    Thanks everyone. I thought I would ask the question and get an outside perspective.
    Couple other things I should add is, this person is a bridemaid for my wedding. Invited a couple other friends to get dressed with her before the wedding. After asking me to stay at the accommodation, didn't tell me about breakfast the next morning and walked in to find everyone who had stayed sitting together(fam and friends). Had come to my table during the night but didn't say hello but did to the couple next to me.Seemed a bit strange overall but could have been nerves/stress.
