jbe,

I think that the "friend" should have come forward with an explanation three years ago. By not doing so then or since she has shown an indifference to the friendship that to me seems very conclusive. Whatever the reason there has not been any action to save the friendship on the other side either.

SR

EDIT---- this was supposed to go to Jim! But Joan, please don't take it as an insult that I didn't mean to post to you. I really like you and if I had a daughter, I would invite you to her wedding.

Does the friend live far away? Have they remained close over the years or is this just a CHristmas card friendship? If they are that close, why didn't your wife call and say, I haven't received an invitation to Lulu's wedding? maybe it got lost in the mail. Or have another friend ask, if it felt that important.
I am so frequently remiss myself about doing the right things, that I can't get too upset when others screw up. Usually people don't mean to do things that hurt others. Does she even know? ANd if not, then I'd say after three years of her being ignored and not noticing, they really WEREN"T very close!

She was lied to. She was told that it was going to be a "small" wedding, mostly family. Well, two weeks later someone showed her pictures of the wedding reception and lo and behold there was this huge party with many of my wife's other friends present.
She never did find out why she was excluded and doesn't want to know.

They use to do a lot of things together and I don't think it's worth throwing it all away over a stupid wedding.

PS: I was glad we weren't invited.
