Weird, but I’m wondering if i should invite this person?

Hello brides!


So, I’m wondering if I should invite this person to my wedding because I’m not sure
I was her pet sitter for ~3 years, starting in 2016. We never saw each other much those 3 years,and I didn’t have a need to text them much except for scheduling really. She’s a vet and I am on the path to becoming one, so I’d sometimes ask her for advice and stuff. She got me my current job at her emergency vet as a vet assistant. When she was pregnant in 2019 I went over and gifted her some things and we talked for a while. She sent a photo of her baby soon after giving birth, and has sent a couple of her in the outfits I gifted her. We don’t talk or text very much, but she did ask for my FH and I to come over and meet her baby before this corona virus stuff started. We haven’t been able to because the stay at home order got issued. We have only really spoken when our shifts cross now, and even then it’s not much cause it’s been busy. I also vented to her not long ago about a recent screw up that extended my career goals by two years and she was very supportive, and she also very gladly accepted me asking her to write me a letter of recommendation for vet school.
So I’m really sorry this is so long but I figured a decent amount of background would assist people in giving me their opinions. So I have been thinking recently of inviting her and her husband to my wedding, I’m wondering if I should? I’m worried she might not look at me as being that close to her and will find it weird that I invite them? Haha maybe that all sounds dumb, FH says I care way too much about what others think over what I want, but here I am seeking opinions!

    I would definitely invite her, it seems like you are friends! If anyone finds it "weird" that you would invite them to your wedding, then they don't have to attend and you are better off without them in your life anyway lol.

    She’s trying to mentor you. She’s seems super sweet. I would invite her and her hubby.

    Send them an invite ASAP Smiley smile She could say no for the very same reasons you listed and if she does, no harm no foul. However she definitely seems like a genuine person trying to mentor and offer support when you are being yourself.

    If you are not super tight on your guest count invite her. Even if she says no she will see that you value your relationship with her high enough to ask her to be there for a very important day in your life.
    I have a few people on my very limited list that I squeezed in becouse while I only talk to them a few times a year, sometimes due to life getting in the way, when I see and talk to them it very special.

    I think this sounds like you want to invite her, and so you should! It seems you two have a very supportive friendship.

    It does seem like she values your feeling during important life events. I would send an invitation! There is one woman I would have loved to be at my wedding who I pet sat for, but sadly she and her pup moved across the country last summer.

    The question is would you like to have her there? If yes, invite her. If not, then don't. She may accept, she may not.
