shower story for a Sunday. . .
Can't remember if I posted thsi story here or on the Knot, but if this is a duplicate, I'm sorry!!!
So, last year, a 'friend' (notice the quotes--you'll understand why at the end of the story) got married. YAY, right? So I get the shower invitation and get all excited!!!
Fast forward to two weeks before the shower: she calls me to say that she can't invite me to the wedding. I was devastated and couldn't understand why I wasn't being invited. But I said, screw it, I'll still go to the shower, there should be other people there who weren't invited!
. . .nope, I was wrong. I got there and foudn out I was the ONLY WOMAN AT THE SHOWER NOT INVITED. Talk about upset. I excused myself to the bathroom, called FH, and he calmed me down but said to follow my heart--if it was telling me to go home, then come home and we'll spend a nice day together. Well, I waited until I heard the SURPRISE shouts, then I busted out of there. I left the gift because I was too embarassed to say, 'sorry, you didn't invite me to the wedding, so this gift belongs to me!!'
Umm, I think the BMs and her mother shouldn't have invited ANYBODY not on the guest list. What person does that? She has NOT apologized to me for this, and I haven't talked to her since. Is it wrong of me not to forgive her for this? I can't; I just can't.
This made me SO SURE to only include people invited to my wedding on the shower invite list. (which reminds me, I have to add three more names) I mean, who does that???? I understand not being able to invite everybody to the wedding now that I'm in the process of the wedding planning thing myself, but DON'T INVITE THEM TO THE SHOWER.
