hello mylotters, I don't want to be bitter but it makes me sad one of my long time friend is going to tie a knot this coming January 2011 and we are all excited about it :).He called some of our common friends yesterday to distribute invitations and tell them to attend the wedding and that doesn't include me :O well he said that they have the limits of guests but the funny thing is i am the only person who is not invited among of our friends. It doesn't matter anyway i am just surprised that after all this years whathappened?Maybe they think i will eat too much hahaha!well can't blame them. I just expected that all of us will going to attend the wedding but sadly i will not witness it, But still i am happy for them. have a nice day!

Hi there, Bhabycatch. Whoa! It is something that will surely raise a brow, of course, especially when you truly believed that you were good friends.It is not the right way to treat a friend. I'm glad, though, that you are no longer offended by it anymore ( I am concluding that you were hurt kahit papano). Sometimes we can not really tell who are our friends until we both face a situation which either mold our friendship closer to each other or taint it...Heck! who cares? You've got a lot of good friends, I guess.

my conclusion is that friends come and go.

@Knight: but as always they somehow leave a mark in our heart and lives. So sad that we do invest time and emotions even to a fleeting friendship. @Bhaby: Well, what I can only say or add to that is : It is better to have few good and real friends than to have hundreds of ostentatious friends surrounding you.

hello babycatch! what happened to you is not new when it comes to relationships with anyone we have been attached and been separated for long at times. well, there are also instances friends we have before may not see us as their friends in the present time. whatever you have relationship with the friend you have is not my concern anymore. anyways,you'll know the reason yourself when you talk to them,i guess. but i do hope your friendship is still there. do you feel bad about what happened? well,if i were in your shoe, i will feel bad a little. and maybe there's reasons why they didn't invite me. whatever it is,they have they freedom to invite whoever they like to their own party anyway. don't feel too bad on that. maybe there's other reasons why such things happened.

well honey, i hope you're fine with it. don't think too much what happened. there can be more time for you to get along with each other anyway. yes,i know what you feel. of course,you can really feel bad about it,but still friendships can't be measured by just occasions in lives. it can be measured by our own hearts. how we truly value each friend we have in our lives. that's what matters the most. keep smiling!

I wouldn't take it personally. If he's a long-time friend, and really a friend, would he lie to you? You can always go to him and tell him how you feel and ask him out-right if there's any other reason.

Hi Bhabycatch, I'm sorry this happened to you. You are handling it really well but I'm sure that it must hurt to be the only one left out. I know about the limits when inviting people to these things also. It's really, really hard. I really could not do it...leave someone out. We had a very small wedding and invited only family and then we had a reception where everyone was invited. Truthfully, I think your friend was a little rude to invite all those in your circle and leave only you out.

@ Sid, Maybe they have the reason or rather than reasons whatever it is doesn't matter they just reap of the mask on their face after those years:(. I fully understand that they need to budget their wedding but being the only friend to be left out is really an issue. :) thanks for the response have a nice day!

Its okay since you have said it already that they have limited number of guests. But I don't know exactly the reason how your friend chooses people to attend, are you really close to the couple? Do you really communicate with the couple? I think that the bride and groom decides whom should be invited or not. For me, I really need to ask pardon for my friends whom I cannot invite in my wedding because I told them it will be private and simple one so I only will invite family members and relatives and very very few selected friends.

hello strawberry, Yah they have limited of guests but all of our friends were invited except me? They were my friends for more than 6 years we had countless bonding and events together from happy one to saddesst. I still keep on touch with them but since last month they already ignoring me. thanks for the response. :)

there must be something that you don't know. Maybe you have hurt the couple's feelings and you don't know about it. Can't you go without an invitation? If you really are a friend, then they should let you come even without the invitation. Or else, there really is something wrong. If you are one of those friends they really had, they can't afford not to have you on their wedding. :)
• Philippines

Catch, that is so plastic. I wonder why has this happened? You think may have said something that made them do this, I only wish they should have be honest enough to tell you that you're not invited. Don't know the issue that made them do that though, I don't want to judge. But I didn't just like the impression of what they are showing. Well, friends come and go no matter how much you have known them for a long time.

In fact i would wonder if they really included me as a friend. I mean this is a very important day in their lives. I would think they would invite all their family and close friends. I would accept it if they only invited their family. But question the friendship if they invited friends but not me. If it was me i think i would put some distance between me and them.

You seem pretty up in spirits after being demoted like this. I would give some serious thought to who are friends and who aren't. I get that feeling that this(being at the wedding) means alot more to you than it does to them. I would really give this some thought and to how I would act in the future toward these 'frinds' of yours.

Oh, i wouldn't be angry at them. But i would consider what has happened as a eye opener and something that may perhaps clue me in alittle as to how my supposed friends see me on their roster of friends. Obviously not real high up there. Thanks and you have a good day.

You know what if that is your close friend then of course you still have the right to ask him especially if you were the only one who wasn't invited that how come you are not included? Well there are some point that it is tolerable but of course you can't still avoid if you were ignored. You know what? I've experienced that. I don't know if you are familiar with Bea Saw that is a big winner of PBB season 2. She have forgotten to invite me on her wedding and of course I felt sad about it. Whereas the other 2 who also supported her were invited and I am the only one who is not. To think I was involved in organizing a surprised party for her birthday before though that is not a very huge party. But of course I don't want to project that much about it. So I told her the truth that she may have really forgotten me. Bea actually apologized about it because she had lost my number. I just told her that I understand because at times it is really hard to plan a big day. In my case if I am going to plan a wedding then that could be also limited. I would be treating our visitors as WITNESS! not the "Palamunin". I want to invite someone that is obviously interested with our marriage and they are not there just because they want to be involve in a party. So probably I will stand on my objective and I have a reason why I invite this person and not this person. In terms of my friends then I can't invite the other two because I have valid reason for that. 2 other friends are not true to me but then they became biased to me. So I only have 2 friends whom I can really treasure.

Sorry for very late response honey beti I take such things very lightly these days, even if they invite normally i don't attend the wedding or the party, you know my health condition, but one member from my family usually attends and gives a 500 or 1000 rupee note in an envelope. Hugs from Baba

Hi dear, Relax!!! There is still time to get an invitation. The invite may be on the way, so you will get it today or tomorrow. Don’t think that you may eat more and that is why you didn’t get an invite. Now only one thing to do. Take revenge. Don’t call him for your wedding. The problem is solved. I think I will get an invite. Ok, I am just joking and don’t take it serious. As your friend said, they may be cutting down the invites. We may feel bad, but try to cooperate. All the best and have a nice day, Thank-s
• Philippines
29 Dec 10
Hello thanks, as for me I believe if they want her involved, they should have talked to her already and not ignoring her. I guess there is hidden blessing to this thing, and that is she doesn't to worry about anything unless she gets invited but of course, they risk seeing her get mad for sure. But in anycase, they need to have a good excuse.
• India
29 Dec 10
Hi dear, Thanks for your comments. The fact is that if they don't invite the group and ignoring her is not an issue. But inviting all the others and just one person is missing is a kind of ignorance and we feel degraded. Even though it is not in the matter of wedding, such demarking has faced some time earlier with me also. It is a kind of pain and those who experienced would understand it. However, it won’t make any difference if one person is invited, also being a good friend where all others are invited. Also, it may be a missing case or misunderstandings that she may be missed out assuming that this one also included. However, I think there may be some talk when they all met in the later stage. Thank-s

hello thanks, Revenge?it never entered on my mind coz it will be useful i will just put grudge on my mind that makes me stress (i don't like wrinkles hehehe), i will not make this thing as an issue if they will explain i will listen if not so be it. :) thanks for the response have a nice day!

This really is harsh on you. For your friend to invite all the other friends and you are the only one that misses out is unfair. Surely one extra person is not going to cause a problem. If this person truly is a friend then you would have got an invite, i wonder if any of your other friends know the real reason as to why you have not been asked to attend. I would ask and i would also wonder if i could call them a friend as this is not what true friends would do to eachother. Hopefully you do find out what the problem is.
30 Dec 10
I can fully understand your circle of friends being shocked at your absense from the wedding. I agree that it is there wedding and yes they do have a right to choose who they both do and don't want there. I love honesty, i would just want to know why, after the honeymoon they are abck to normal, i don't know how they can be next to you and maybe even talk about the wedding and you not say something. It would get to me really, i would like to know why i was the only one missing out. You may be a true friend to them, but they certainly aren't being a true friend to you. You state your other friends are shocked so i wonder is it your friends partner that has a problem with you?

hello craig, Well our circle of friends was shocked when they found out i am not invited but they have their reason i don't want to ask what is it, i will just leave it like this since its their wedding and has the right to do whatever they want. Maybe i was true friends to them but the question is are they? :) I am better now really :) thanks for the response have a nice day!

I don't think that this is a very pleasant thing to do to you at all, but I must say I admire the way you can just wish them well like that. I don't see any point in getting and staying angry with people as it is only going to make things worse for yourself. Even if something has happened between you, I don't think you have a true friend there. I know I wouldn't consider anybody a friend if after being close with them, they left me out of something important in their life where everybody else was included. I hope things are better for you from now on and that you have a great 2011... _Derek

OH HE** NO!! That's absolutely, positively, the most IGNORANT, DISRESPECTFUL, and HURTFUL thing Ive heard in some time. Im so sorry! You must be hurt. I wouldnt let them know it. I would write them a letter telling them how you feel though. I am familiar with having a limit on people and how expensive it can get but to eliminate one and no one else? What's one more? If it was a bunch of cuts ok but one. Im sorry their definition of friendship is different than yours. In fact, its MUCH different than mine too. But you know what my friend you have to thank them for teaching you a valuable and unforgettable lesson. No matter how long you know or how deep you think your friendship is, ITS NEVER written in stone that they are true. Life is a gamble. Sometimes you get the win, this roll you lost. Now you pick up and move on from there. I'll be honest with you. This has happened to me more than once. I cried like a baby. It wasnt a wedding invitation but it still hit me like a ton of bricks! Friendship is the hardest relationship of all to keep. Those people that have friends for years are so lucky. I envy them. I think it has alot to do with the generations. Peoples morals are different. Things that were shocking back then are not as shocking now. People, some, take friendship way to lightly. You and I do not. That just shows the world that you are a good person inside and out. Please dont be sad. I know it hurts but you're so much better than that! SHAME ON THEM! I hope they realize that they have to live with this decision. Hold your head up high! You're a friend from the heart. They're NOT! Happy MyLotting dl

hello dloveli, One of my Mylot friend told me that if i establish a friendship it will be for keeps maybe that is one of the reason why i was hurt a bit when i found out i was not invited but it doesn't matter sometimes we need to hit our head in a hard way to realize that everything around is can't be really sometimes. :) I'll just be happy for them besides they are still my friends. thanks for the response Happy Mylotting

i think you should try to talk to your friend and tell him that you were hurt by not being invited to his wedding but you understand that he needs to downsize the people since he's in a budget. at least you're still happy for him. that's a good sign that you didn't took it personally.

I think you might have meddled your relationship with either the bride or groom at some point of time or the other. Having been friends for 6 years, I don't find any valid reason for ignoring you to the wedding. Just over eating makes no sense because mostly, weddings are thrown out lavishly and have no limit for any thing, particularly to food. Had you not made any mistake, I really appreciate your attitude of taking the matter positively. Good Luck and Happy New Year.

hello tam, Maybe they have their reasons and i don't want to find it out whatever that reason can be, about eating too much i was just joking in any occasions it already given that there will be someone who eats a lot (and i am one of them hahaha!).

Did something happen between you two that could have contributed to the reason why you are not invited to his wedding? If there is none then maybe it could just be an honest mistake on his part. Maybe he has forgotten or maybe he is assuming that since you two are such good friends, you are already invited by default? Gosh, or maybe, just maybe, they really do need to limit their guests. Another reason could be is that maybe his fiancee does not want you there. These are just assumptions or suppositions. Maybe you could ask him why.
