It's not so much the royals, it's the arse-licker of royals that get my goat.
LoadOfTwaddle, you were quick to judge ONLY based on AF's response and then write:
'What has happened to MN tonight???
Too many newbie threads and kids crying!!!!'
If you want a private conversation then ring up a mate, this is a public forum open for everyone, including 'newbies'.
BTW OP, I'm sorry but I do think if a couple choose to have a small wedding then many people, not just you, will not be invited. However, if I was your friend, I would have offered some sort of explanation i.e. "I would have loved you to come if it was a bigger wedding, please don't take it personally."
Also it doesn't seem to me that you have all the facts, you're not even SURE if you've been invited to the evening do, so just wait and see before getting your knickers in a twist.
