    They were shocked, and some friends who weren't invited asked if they could come for a mini-reunion. I was like, "Seriously? You didn't include me in anything, and now you want to come to my wedding?" I wasn't having it.

    I'm a 26-year-old woman who just got married last Saturday. I didn't invite most of my old friends because they never invited me to their events or hangouts. I went to a small boarding school where everyone knew each other and we were close, but after

    graduation, they never reached out, even though I live close to where they hang out. This made me feel sad and even led to and anxiety. some Back then, I thought it was my fault and tried to please everyone.

    Now, I'm over it. I don't care that they didn't invite me to their events. Two of them did invite me to their weddings, so I invited them to mine. When they asked if I invited anyone from school, I told them no, just those two. They were shocked, and some friends who weren't

    invited asked if they could come for a mini-reunion. I was like, "Seriously? You didn't include me in anything, and now you want to come to my wedding?" I wasn't having it. They were bitter and gave excuses about not thinking I was available. Some of them

    apologized, while others just stayed silent. The irony, right? Part of me feels bad for snapping at them, but I ended up blocking them on social media for my own peace of mind. Of couse I did it after the wedding so they could see it!!!

    So yeah, I just want to let everyone who has been left out by family or friends know that it's okay and not your fault. Please don't think it means that you are a terrible perskn or that you need to change anything. Often, people can be hurtful and self-centered, so it's best to move on because, in the end, no one really cares.

    Caraphox • 1d ago Good for you tbh. The fact that they asked to be invited to your wedding for a 'mini-reunion' rather than to celebrate your big day just further confirms that they don't deserve to be there.

You did the right thing, and if I ran into them again and they brought it up if reply ' I assumed you were not available' There are people that just want to treat you any old way, but really expect you to be the bigger person.

    as a high school reunion for them where they would all interact with just each other and ignore again on your wedding day? I'm glad you didn't invite them.

    Disastrous-Assist-90 . 1d ago They wanted a free catered reunion with an open bar, that's all. They're trash, and you have self respect enough to stand up for yourself.

    BrokenAnd4got10 • 1d ago As the friend who has been constantly left out, I appreciate this and think you did fine here. There is so much audacity in their belief that they should be included when they excluded you.
