to find this wedding invite strange?

[fufflebum]

I have been invited to an old school friends wedding. Which is not unusual in itself but I think rather strange in view of the fact she has only met my four year old once and never met my son who is one. Any contact has been at Xmas with a card and a birthday card but no phone or minimal email contact. In fact when I have emailed the reply has been very brief (she always has enjoyed trying to make her life sound interesting and mysterious!) Since having kids I have been less willing to tolerate trying to have a conversation during which she does not really want to talk about what she has been up to. Our lives are in quite different places.

She did come to my wedding many years ago but I wonder why have I been invited? (Well I say invited I got a random email just after Xmas and a text recently confirming the wedding dates.)

Am I unreasonable to find it a little odd? Or am I just annoyed at her lack of interest in my life? (As all mumnetters know nothing is as life changing as having kids......)

Views please!!!!

I suppose I would like to go as it has been a long time since I have seen her.

I have never met her husband to be.

My husband thinks she is 'strange' but is happy to do whatever I think. It would be easier to travel to them without the children!

I think if I do not go I would regret it in the future and it would be an opportunity to catch up. She certainly would not invite people to make up the numbers as she is an astute business women!So I think the invite is genuine. I do wonder whether, as one person put it, is trying to re kindle the friendship as we are now in similar places.

Perhaps I have been lost in babyworld for too many years!!!Being a SAHM has addled my brain.....

Yeah! go for it! Have a party!

Thanks Cory.

Will ring and have a chat later on and perhaps this will clarify things in my mind.

I know sometimes it is easy to blow things out of proportion....
