The airlines aren't going to let her onboard if her I. Getty Images. At least for the time being. I was not. I just shrugged it off. Weeks later, the bride told my spouse I was invited. There is no doubt in my mind that this last-minute invitation is because someone on the A list declined. I doubt any opposite-sex couples were treated the same way. In any event, my questions are: 1.
How offended should I be, and 2. Should I attend? Please see and assess No. Whether or not you attend is up to you. If you choose not to, Miss Manners will only ask you to resist giving the real reason why. Such a thoughtless bride will not register the slight anyway, only move further down her list. I need my alone time to recharge, but she will keep talking and bothering me, especially during lunch at the studio where I work. Other than that, she is a good friend. It is your workplace and not a place you like to eat socially.
Then, just one time to show goodwill, offer to go out to lunch instead. Miss Manners cannot guarantee that your friend will keep her mouth closed while she eats there, either, but if you choose the restaurant wisely, perhaps you can avoid one that serves gross-smelling snacks.
