Late wedding invite, angry bride?
This past summer, a friend of mine told me she was getting married. The date was set in December and I gave her my address to send me an invite and told her to let me know if there was anything I could do to help. So December rolls around, and I see that she posted on her Facebook that they were moving to wedding to January because her soon to be husband was in Iraq and his unit was needed a little longer there. I messaged her a couple times asking for an invite, and she never answered back. So two days before the wedding she texts me and says,
"So I just realized that I forgot to send you an invite!!!"
And asks me if I can still make it! By this time, I was already scheduled to work and there was NO way I could get it off. So I missed her wedding, and a few days later she texted me. She was angry because I didn't attend! She told me I was a bad friend and all this mumbo jumbo. If I was such an important guest, shouldn't she have remembered to send an invite my way sometime earlier than two days before the event? Does she even have a right to be mad? Help please!

She's just giving you the run-around because she knows it was her fault you weren't invited to her wedding. Maybe they had to cut off the guest list at a certain number, and the family wanted to include Auntie Maude at the last minute. Or maybe she really did forget to invite you.
A lot of people imagine that everybody is free on Saturdays. She was probably one of them, and may have figured that you thought up an excuse about having to work because you were annoyed at not receiving an invitation.
So let her be mad. It used to be the custom that when people got married, most of their single friends were dropped, unless and until the couple invited them to their home some time afterward. You're probably going to be one of those drop-ees, and there's no need to feel too upset about it.
Think of all the money you saved because you didn't have to buy her a wedding gift!

Well she could be mad at you for not coming, you could be mad at her for not sending an invite. She may have honestly forgotten or you may have been on the list of people to invite if others cancel (I have invited my partner to a wedding the day before because due to cancelations the bride rang and asked me if I would like to bring him).
She doesn't really have the right to be mad but maybe she is faking being mad to prove to you that she really wanted you there? You could be flattered? At any rate if she is usually a nice, fun person, just let it slide. Don't let something like this come between your friendship. Just say sorry that you couldn't make it (even if your not really) and get on with your life.
Keep fun, happy friends, reject toxic friends. If you generally like this girl, let this one go. If she is actually a burden let her go. She doesn't sound like a terrible person, and you will never know what really happened with the invite.

Wow, a bridezilla who believes the whole world is waiting with baited breath...
It sounds like you were doing everything but begging for the invitation, she basically admits she forgot to send one and then gets mad at you for having made other plans to pay your bills instead of spending the whole month of January waiting for information on an event that has already been put off once.
Send her a short note apologizing for missing the wedding and don't expect a polite response unless she comes to her senses

Yes - if she had really wanted you there she would have remembered to send you an invite much earlier. Especially since you messaged her a couple of times. She probably had someone cancel or realized she had some empty seats or something so decided to send you the invite.

The whole mess in Sleeping Beauty was caused for s lack of invitation.
If this person knows you work and have a busy schedule she must have some common sense and understand that you were not there because you were not asked with a proper time.
She beimg angry over this is immature and silly, she is the one who should apologize.

It's called the Bridezilla Syndrome where the world is required to be at her beck and call; it's 'her day' that must be perfect and throws a tantrum when it's not!
How close a friend is she that forgets? She didn't even invite you and who cares if she's mad.
Perhaps she'll come to her senses someday and who cares if she doesn't.
Take her with a tablespoon of salt.

She knows exactly what she did wrong. Just refuses to admit it. And prefers to put it across, that it was your fault as a scapegoat for her actions.
Well, stand your ground, because you did nothing wrong.
