Group of 5 girls I've been friends since we all worked together in our teens. One of them is getting married and the other 3 are bridesmaids.

I'm invited all day but DH is only invited in the evening. I don't know one other person who is going so I will have to hang around myself after the ceremony, I'll be sitting myself with a group of strangers during the meal and then again hanging around myself after the meal until the evening bit starts.

Just to add it's at Christmas time and I'll have to drive down a dangerous coastal road in the middle of winter at 35 weeks pregnant.

But on the other hand I felt it's incredibly rude not to go and they didn't have partners at my wedding but they came as a group not as one individual on their own.

Also it was good advice to tell me to decline there is no way I'd have been able to go. I had horrible SPD and the day of the wedding there was a massive storm. I'd have really struggled.

I LOVE threads that the op comes back and updates on! Thank you OP!

Sounds like you made the right decision for you. Friends from being young aren't always friends for life

Thanks for the update! Glad was the right call!

Also happy to see an update.

Sorry that you seem to have lost your friends though op.

You definitely did the right thing! I cant believe they didn't contact you after you had your baby, confirms that they weren't very invested in the friendship.
Well done for updating!

Spider they probably were all bitching away giving it "well she didn't come to the wedding so we're not going to see the baby" . By the time I was 35 weeks I was really struggling to walk. I was nearly on crutches but once I finished work managed to avoid them. But none of them would see it from my perspectiveSad
