Was I wrong to mind being separated at a wedding invitation?

I was curious and inspired by an earlier threat I read. Long story short, about 8 months ago my fiancée and I were invited to a wedding of his friend's daughter (he's paying so I guess he can invite who he wants). We were told the place and that it would be 1.30pm, for the full day. A few days prior (just over a week ago) we were told it was evening only (totally made sense, we don't even know the daughter!) Then, a week ago on Saturday, the said friend phoned my fiancée and said there's been a mistake and he has a space for the whole day and I am evening only. I cracked up. In the end we went to the evening only, together, as a couple. I feel that my partner shouldn't have even told me, he should have said to his friend "Thanks, but we'll come together in at 7.30pm". And that would have been that. I don't know about you but that's what I would have done. So - am I an asshole for being mad at him (considering I didn't give a shit about this wedding in the first place)? Plus, when we went there at 7.30pm we discovered we were the only ones coming in at the evening!! Oh, and the so called friend keeps telling me how I'm now "family" hah!

There have been many events that my husband has been invited to that I haven’t, and vice versa. Guess what, I know we’re two different people who can socialise without each other so I don’t feel the need to post and rage and wish divorce on people I don’t know because of some small slight.

Sure.

If how you are on here is how you are in real life, I’d get used to your partner being invited to things without you.

Sure.

Weird response.

pls explain. Are you being sarcastic? Because plenty of people go to events without their partner and they cope, especially when it’s an event they “didn’t give a shit about”.

If your partner has any sense he will leave you before you get married as you sound unhinged! The world does not revolve around you

If this is the way that you react to a completely minor mishap, I'd be surprised if anyone, arsehole or otherwise would marry you.

There is one arsehole and it’s not the bride, the groom, the brides father or the op’s boyfriend…

Also, for context , when his eldest daughter got married 8 years ago I was quite happy to go to the evening only as we had only been going out for two years (my partner was there for the full day). The whole issue is that we were invited for the full day this time but then, a week before the wedding things started to change. So I will take great pleasure when the couple in question gets divorced a few years down the line 😂😂😂😂. My whole point was that my partner should have had the sense to tell his friend we were coming as a couple. Which he did, at the last minute, because I told him so. This is the first and last time I post anything here as none of you know how to read!

Edited

This is quite an unhinged level of vitriol at two young people starting out in their marriage.

Read the context.

Rescinding invitations should never happen unless there’s been a falling out. Likewise, I don’t think couples should be split up, they either both come for the full day or the evening, not one getting one kind of invitation and a different one for the other. However, in this instance I wouldn’t really care given I don’t even know the couple. I do think your husband should have just said you’d both come together but also don’t think it’s that big of a deal.
