Our friends are getting married this Sunday. They are old friends we met them 14 years ago. They moved 6 years ago and we haven't seen the since but keep in touch.
We knew they were getting married as we saw the countdown to the wedding on Facebook. Assumed we weren't invited as we obviously aren't that close anymore. So bought them a card and voucher to send off today.
We were invited to joint stag & hen do but declined because it was a boozey week in Spain and really not our cup of tea.
Yesterday I found out that we have in fact been invited to the wedding. The invitation was sent to our old address by mistake. They do have our new address as we received a card at Xmas.
Obviously we didn't RSVP as we didn't get a invite.
The bride has been in contact yesterday re parking arrangements for their big day. I replied to her that I was confused as we have not been invited.
Despite us not RSVPing they have paid for our meal and are "expecting us to be their" and they will be "disappointed if we don't show up"
I have explained that my husband will be working on Sunday and that it's very short notice. Plus a 2-2.5 hour drive away.
I should of said no we couldn't make it but instead I said I would see what I could do, as she was getting quite upset that we were not going to be there.
I had absolutely no intention of going but told DH late last night what had happened and assumed he would say no way. He doesn't want to go but he thinks we should if we can so is trying to get Sunday off, but won't know until tomorrow.
I bloody well should of kept my mouth closed.
If he can get the day off I'm going to have to arrange child care (it's a child free wedding apart from the bride & grooms children) Dog care and I will have to go into town and get a outfit for myself as I have nothing. Literally nothing apart from jeans (that are bursting at them seems as I have gained weight)
Oh FFS please tell me I am not being unreasonable for not wanting to go.
