So a while ago I posted about my co-resident and her wedding. In brief, there are 4 girls in our class. One girl was the bride, and the other 2 were bridesmaids, and I was not invited. Two of these girls I used to hang out with all the time (the bride was one of them). I asked what to do, the advise I got from most of you and other people was to keep my mouth shut....and I did.
Well, here is the update. A week later, I got a mass e-mail inviting everyone (female doctors, nurses, ect) to her bachelorette party. I thought that traditionally, only people invited to the wedding were invited to the other stuff, but it was low key in downtown (not too expensive, the same as a night clubbing with friends), so I did not think too much of it.
Well, about 4 days ago, I got an e-mail from the bride that was a wedding invitation. I was addressed as were 5 other residents. In e-mail was an explanation that she thought she could not invite any friends, but now she has room, and that we could all bring dates. She stated she wanted us to all be there for her big day since we went though so much together. I was not really sure what to make of it. It did make me feel like it was really a space issue, and that maybe I overreacted. Some of my friends have found the last minute e-mail invite more offensive than not being invited at all. I don''t really feel that way.
But, I planned my vacation 2 months ago. And the wedding is 5 days into a week long trip. There is no way I could cut it short, as we are borrowing my BF''s parents''s vacation house. I just found out his mother went out there (a 3 hour drive) and stocked the place full of food for us. She even found out what kind of soda I drink and got that. I am shocked, I was just grateful they were letting us use the house, because with my BF out of a job, we probably couldn''t go anywhere. I am really looking forward to getting away. I am not looking forward to the last minute packing (I am leaving tomorrow).
So I wrote back, and talked to her in person, and explained the situation. She said she understood of course. I told her I wished them a wonderful start to the rest of their lives.
Thanks to all of you that took time to listen to me vent.
