Hey Brides to be.
Just got a last minute text from a really old friend inviting us to their wedding 12 days before their ceremony.
What is the Bride really thinking- shall we go or not. I feel this invite has come from some sort of weird guilt. But I genuinely want what's best for her.
I politely said ' oh you don't need to add stress, don't worry about us, stick to your original plans we will see you after, can't get our girls a babysitter so on so on'
She has replied 'I really want you there, your children welcome too' (they are not having sit down meal/table plans so can be quite relaxed about this)
I just want to do the right thing.
I was shocked we wasn't originally invited. Then I heard it was just a small ceremony- fair enough. Then I heard more and more 'randoms' were going plus work colleagues.
Husband and I had our suspicions why but that's their choice.
Just got back from her hen do away (amazing funny time) and all the other hens are invited to the ceremony making jokes and included me in them as I had known her one of the longest they just assumed I would be there. I smiled and just joined in so there was no weirdness.
I feel like I knew it was coming but don't know how to reply.
I feel a bit of a hypocrite if I go as I Expressed my shockedness at the time to mutual friends- and what we are all of a sudden there?
If your about to get married in 12 days and suddenly invite old friends is it genuine? I just want what's best for them. She knows I've read her what's app message but yet to reply!
I don't want to leave her hanging. My head hurts. Thanks.
