An old acquaintance (friends at the time but it was situational and as our lives moved on there was no real keeping in touch aside from FB where we regularly comment on each others photos.).... has just got married and put their photos on FB. She looked beautiful and the whole day looked amazing.

I wrote a comment to say as much, she looked stunning, venue was gorgeous blah blah and then added 'Sorry I couldn't be there'.

We were on holiday and wouldn't have been able to go. Although we weren't actually invited....

SIL thinks its hilarious that I've written that! Is it?

I didn't think you were being mean, just being cringe. Sorry!

I think some of the responses to me here have been far unkinder than I may have accidently been to my friend.

I have sent her a message apologising profusely for any offense I may have caused with my clumsy comment, and just expressed that it was made with good intentions.

Telling me it was a mean comment and that I was trying to make her feel bad are way off the mark and unnecessary.

Have a good weekend everyone.

You should have just deleated it, you've put yourself center stage, the Bride really didn't need to be giving this head space. Next time just listen to your SIL.

Lesson learned if you don’t want to hear the truth then don’t post on MN.

I wasn't being passive aggressive at all and I had no reason to expect an invitation.

Surely if something looks fun and amazing, you do wish you were there?

That doesn't mean I think she should have invited me...just that it looked amazing! And I say, we couldn't have gone anyway.

I personally think it's a compliment!

Sorry ,it isnt a conpliment.
It comes across as a dig about not getting invite. Why mention you couldnt have gone anyway?Irrelevant as you werent invited.
Bzt I accept that you didnt mean to be weird.
