Woman Is Skipping Her Best Friend’s Wedding After the Bride Excluded Her Husband from the Guest List

A woman says she’s “really confused and honestly hurt” after one of her closest friends invited her to a Vegas wedding — but pointedly left her husband off the guest list.

Posting on Reddit’s “Bridezillas” forum, the original poster (OP) explained that her friend, who once stood beside her as maid of honor, is getting married in Las Vegas. When the invitation arrived, though, something felt off: the invite was addressed only to her, with no mention of her husband.

“For context, my husband knows her and her fiancé well,” she wrote. “It’s never been ‘just me and her.’ So I don’t understand why he’s suddenly not included.”

When she asked about it, the bride-to-be said she was being “selective” about which spouses were invited. To the OP, that stung. She admitted the decision felt “really personal,” especially since her husband isn’t some casual date.

“Like… this is my husband, not a random date,” she shared. “I told her it hurt my feelings and her response was kind of dismissive. Just, ‘I didn’t think this would bother you.’ ”

Now, the OP says she feels “weird” about flying to Vegas alone to celebrate “someone who apparently doesn’t want my husband there,” and she’s strongly considering skipping the event altogether.

In the comments, most Redditors backed her up and said her hurt feelings were completely valid — some even suggested the friendship might not be worth holding onto.

“No, I’m sorry you NEVER invite one spouse and not the other… EVER!!!” one user insisted. “It’s a horrible breach in etiquette and simply NOT ok! If I were you I wouldn’t go, period. If someone invited me to something without my husband I would not only be offended, I would seriously reconsider the friendship and I certainly wouldn’t attend!”

Another commenter pointed out the contradiction in what the bride was asking for: “You’re not overreacting at all. She’s asking you to come and honor her commitment while she completely disrespects yours.”

In a later update, the OP said she couldn’t shake the feeling that her friend had asked for her opinions on wedding plans just to turn around and ignore her perspective.

“I said it would’ve been better to openly discuss guest plans before sending the save-the-date,” she recalled. “My husband genuinely thought he was invited and was looking forward to the event and the trip.”

She ended by saying that she’s drawn a line: “I’ve been honest about how this made me feel, I told her I’m done debating it, and now I’m seriously questioning whether I’ll attend at all.”
