    I know it's a backyard wedding with some people from their sub-culture lifestyle doing the ceremony, so I did naturally assume that it was a "lifestyle" wedding thing that might not be fit for general public.

    It's actually a hand-fasting, too, but that's besides the point.

    Pips, that could be the case, I don't know.

    I figured at least she would text an address, email, call, Facebook event page, or mail an invitation to those invited.

    It could be an issue with legitimately running way behind on getting everything put together, in which case I have no clue what to do because I had to get several people to agree on a date for my event and all of them except a couple had to take off work, so it can't really be changed at this point.

    ... Go on.

    I never quite grasped why the wedding day is about the bride. Often it seems like the groom is an afterthought if not decidedly a necessary evil. Bridezillas suck. So does whining.

    SO MUCH OF THIS!!!! A wedding is supposed to be about a marriage. Not the bride.

    I really care about them both and it seems like every time I have an event I can't make everyone happy with a date.

    :huh:

    OP - If you wish the happy couple well, then send a nice gift with a card apologizing for missing the wedding due to the conflict with your event (that is obviously oriented around that specific day) and carry on with life. Don't even bother mentioning her failure to invite you.

    As a bride I want everybody and their dog at my event. Even black sheep uncle. So it doesn't make sense she'd not invite close friends of hers or his. Unless maybe she resents you because of yoru friendship with the ex wife.
    Wanting everybody there I also carefully made sure I planned it away from birthdays, ect. Even on a Friday rather than Saturday since it's football season.
    So no bride in her right mind in going to schedule it on a day where a friend is having another even. That's just dumb.


    So really I think there is missing information here, and you are just looking for a reason to call somebody nobody on here knows a bridezilla b*tch. :)

    I don't think it was clear in the OP, but it sounds like this is a Pagan or Wiccan wedding. Maybe they're only inviting people REALLY into the lifestyle or something.

    I thought that too, but it seems important to the OP that her event be held on this "midsummer" occassion also.

    I don't get it.

    A hand-fasting is NOT a wedding. Totally different. You weren't invited because you don't get it.

    I think the both of you are being babies about it.

    I think because often weddings are something that some women start planning/dreaming about from the time they are little girls. While guys just don't usually have that same interest. In fact, most (scratch that ALL) of the grooms I have known, just think of the cost, hate the idea of giving a speech and want it to be over as soon as possible :laugh:

    Obviously that isn't always the case though...
