Fh & I were so upset yesterday....

Fh's childhood friend & a couple we go to church with all the time were married yesterday. FH & I both took work off and in my job getting extra weekeneds means signing away your life. When the invitation came it said bla bla bla church with afternoon tea to follow. I though it was so weird but I know they were on a super tight budget. I asked the bride at church 'So your not having a party after your wedding just an afternoon tea?' And she nodded. Well we are driving to the wedding and our other friends call and say 'we won't be able to make the church but we'll see you tonight at the reception'... I was like What reception, we must have misunderstood our card. We asked when we got to the church and everybody was so shady and pretty much was forced to admit that we were invited to the church and not the actual wedding. I quickly tore up my $200 check and made one for $50. FH was highly offened, all our friends were invited so they had to know this would come back to us. Also they were dishonest with us, we feel lied too. They should have been honest and said 'we are on a tight budget so we are having a very small wedding and only inviting some family and very close friends, but to include all we are having the church party' I just think it was so tacky. I want to cross them off our list, I don't care if im bitter and immature.
