How would you feel about NOT being invited

to a wedding in which your DH is the best man?

HYPOTHETICALLY, of course.

Does it make it worse that the groom-to-be says he wants you there, but the GF is adamant that you are not welcome? You've personally known the groom for 8 years... and he was the best man at your own wedding. You met the girl once in a party setting and she went off to an empty table and painted her acrylic tips instead of conversing.

For the record, they were both invited to your wedding, although the GF chose not to come.

...they just set the date - the wedding is 6 months away.

I don't know why this minutia is even bothering me.... thankfully my DH has decided to do the right thing (in my opinion) and stand up for me by NOT GOING unless I'm welcome. Love him!

People actually DO this?!?!?

I've already gotten a few opinions and most seem to think this chick has maturity issues.

I know this is an old thread but ahd to throw my 2 cents in anyway.

The groom needs to stop being such a vagina. Does he know what he is getting into if his best friend's wife can't come to the wedding? I would have a hard time being friends with someone who told me my DH was not welcome. We come as a set, not sold separately.

Couldn't say it better. Thats awful. If that happened to us it would definetly drive a wedge between the friendship because thats just RUDE and shows a lack of class, sense, AND respect for HIS friend because he is allowing his wife to be shunned and the bottom line is even though its 'just a wedding,' its 'his castle' (home) and how he runs it thats being tested here.

I would be upset too but if he can't grow a set, thats his proble. Your DH is a GRAT man who deserves a lot of nookie for doing the right thing.

Thanks

At the time of my wedding, they were together for 3 months. I still invited her (even though we didn't do 'and guest' unless people were married or in a serious relationship).... however, she chose not to attend. I feel good about myself for being the bigger person.
