The wedding must be taken personally – The Denver Post



[ad_1]

Dear Amy: I met "Jane" and "Louis" two years ago. Jane and I work together and have quickly become good friends – she even nicknamed me his "wife at work".

Jane and Louis introduced me to my boyfriend, "Charlie", with whom I have been dating for more than a year. They have been friends with Charlie for many years.

Jane and Louis got engaged earlier this year.

Charlie received an invitation to the wedding. However, the invitation did not include "plus one".

When Charlie asked them about it, they said, "Sorry, no girlfriend is allowed, only married couples."

First, I was shocked and hurt to have been reduced to being only Charlie's girlfriend, when I thought I was also a good friend to this couple.

Secondly, I have never heard of this rule. I understand I do not want to pay for random dates at your wedding, but my boyfriend and I are in a serious relationship. We attended other weddings together.

Charlie always intends to attend this wedding and I would never ask him not to do it.

Should I just assume that it's a budget problem and let it go? Or am I allowed to be angry and reevaluate our friendship?

Dear Side, My usual position is to advise people not to take things personally.
