We’ve always been really close. Maintained a solid friendship since school really!
She’s fairly recently single (as in, been single for almost a year).
I invited her to my wedding reception a few weeks ago and she didn’t show. She received the invite in the post, we had a whole chat over a coffee about how she could bring a plus one/literally anyone as I worried she would feel awkward. She told me not to be daft and that she would be fine to pop in by herself for a drink as she wanted to see me and DH and knew some people there anyway
Highly doubt she forgot because I sent a reminder to everyone before and directions to the venue, she acknowledged it and said can’t wait to see you there.
I just feel hurt, we catered for her as she said she would be coming. Surely she could have made an excuse and said she could no longer attend even if this was on the day of the party. She didn’t text me congratulations, like the photos or message me about it in any way. I’m perplexed, I always acknowledge her life milestones and usually in a big way!
Would it be a bit thoughtless of me to send her a message? I don’t want to be all bridezilla esque as life does not revolve around my wedding but I was looking forward to see her and she just didn’t show. The venue charged per head. She is totally fine btw and has been posting regularly on social media since; meals out, spa day with her sister etc.
