I'm dense, I don't get how she has a weekend away if she's not invited? I don't think I could resist making contact with hun.

Can you change your fb status to "..." in solidarity with the other friend? Maybe all of the 20 will do that and it can be like a secret handshake

PLEASE keep us updated on FB and hunfriend.

Could be "dumped on by a friend" in that she's been asked to decorate, and has to make a weekend of it as she lives far far away?

MrsKoala · 10/08/2013 00:24

I assumed Hun had saved the date and cleared her weekend for the wedding and then wasn't invited so decided to go off somewhere else, but is still miffed. Bride couldn't have asked her to decorate the venue too could she? Shock

Ooh not sure if she's been asked to help too! I assumed it was just about being uninvited, but she would've known that a while ago if it was done the same way it was to me!

I want to say surely gluezilla wouldn't have the balls to ask her, but clearly that isn't the case!

I'll send my friend a text in the morning for some clarity!

Dammit! i'm in a different time zone so am going to miss it all by the time i get up. I suppose i could stay up all night repeatedly hitting refresh...

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/08/2013 01:15

I hope

"Being dumped on by a friend" = being invited and then uninvited.

"Getting a weekend away out of it" = someone is whisking her away so she doesn't get upset while the whole wedding she was uninvited to happens.

Alternatively maybe she has been asked to decorate and has very quickly booked a weekend break that clashes to make herself deliberately unavailable.

Can you ask on fb "ooo where you off to? Anywhere nice?"

Might tell you if she is heading towards or away from the wedding...

She's going to Paris. I knew that already but I didn't make the connection with the wedding. It hasn't been booked in reaction to anything she may have been asked this week, but could well have been because she was disinvited to the wedding.

EdwiniasRevenge · 10/08/2013 01:27

So looks like my first scenario could be plausible and a kind OH is whisking her off for a romantic break to quell the uninvitement disappointment

BlackeyedSusan · 10/08/2013 02:16

four weeks from the 21st of july... next weekend?

Notafoodbabyanymore · 10/08/2013 02:21

And the saga continues! Yes!!! Can't wait to hear what hunfriend has to say.

Poor old Gluey. The wedding of her dreams at the cost of several friendships. She obviously thinks it's a price worth paying, I wonder if she'll still feel that way after her 'special day'.

GoodMorningMoon · 10/08/2013 02:24

Hoe-lee-SHITE

Just when I thought this thread died down, FACEBOOK comes to the rescue!

Beastofburden · 10/08/2013 02:33

We could all create sylvanian identities on FB and then send gluezilla a friend request.

disclaimer knows that having fake ids on FB is Wrong.

Beastofburden · 10/08/2013 02:47

Tidy, be careful how you go. It's a suspiciously titled update. She just might be in the pay of gluezilla, to find out what you think through the back door.

Don't be tempted to give her the link to this unless you definitely trust her not to leak it to gluezilla (or you don't care if gluezilla reads it)

Trigglesx · 10/08/2013 07:56

Yes, it IS conveniently timed, isn't it? Unless you know this friend VERY well, I'd tread carefully. I'm puzzled why bride is responding to it at all, as how would she know it involved her?? Confused Unless, of course, she DID just ask other friend to decorate and had a tantrum because said friend already has weekend plans. Grin

HotPanda · 10/08/2013 08:10

I'd just reply on FB on her status saying "I've recently been dumped on by a friend too. She had the nerve to uninvited me from her wedding then out of nowhere expected me to decorate for her. Madness!"

RenterNomad · 10/08/2013 08:11

You are a SHIT-HOT SCHEHEREZADE.

Blondeshavemorefun · 10/08/2013 09:02

So the saga continues on Fb

What's up Hun?

Pmsl - I see that reply on many of my friends Fb

Paris is SO MUCH NICER than any wedding. Fact.

Jumping on the bandwagon rather late here (despite lurking for 3 threads now) - Gluesister's apology brought to mind a piece in the Guardian last year which outlined how to apologise without apologising www.theguardian.com/culture/lostinshowbiz/2012/jun/21/jimmy-carr-william-shatner-apologising. The Glues seem to be pros at this, wondering if they've had some kind of training from William Shatner ...

BalloonSlayer · 10/08/2013 21:37

Oh Gooooood Tidy, the temptation to reply with:

OMG < hugs> hun. Totes get where U R coming from. But at least U have something gr8 planned now for that weekend. I have absolutely NOTHING to do < sadface>
