Not inviting someone's wife to a wedding

Sorry, it's a wedding one! And it's a bit long so as not to drip feed.

Husband has been invited to his (female) friend's wedding. He's been asked to be a witness and to arrive the day before, stay over in a hotel and "help set up". The wedding is in the city where both couples live. I haven't been invited. We've been married more than a decade and no falling out/backstory between me and the bride to be that I'm aware of.

YANBU - that's fucking weird
YABU - it's totally normal to not invite someone's long standing spouse to your wedding

Additional info: I did ask DH if it had come up that I'm not invited and he said the bride said "it's my wedding and I'll invite who I want"

Further additional info: bride to be has been invited to many social events we've hosted as a couple but has always declined to attend, preferring to only meet my husband on his own. He has been invited to many social events by bride to be and her future husband but I have never been included

Why has your oh allowed her to treat you like this?

YANBU, very weird indeed. Is he going to go?

It’s clear she doesn’t like you, I’d say! Because yes it’s very weird.
what’s your DH going to do? Is he going to tolerate this blatant snub? X

YANBU , it’s incredibly weird and rude , in my opinion.
