this is HILARIOUS (get out of my head). Thanks for this, easily my favorite of your writings (thus far)!

Funny anecdote - One of my best friends from college (female) and I had a pretty dramatic falling out after 10 years of friendship...while we were taking a break, she found a guy who she wound up marrying like last week (lol). I wasn't invited to the wedding - currently we're in a place of repairing our relationship but I figured she might invite me cuz of the past. She did not. I was LITERALLY texting her yesterday about my desire to send her a present. But I would not have done that if it wasn't my specific situation with my friend Alison.

Oh well. I'll just hope people don't invite me to weddings.

I think there’s a gray area depending on the relationship and closeness and it’s great that you wanted to recognize their big day even though you weren’t going to be in attendance.

I’m over 50 and I didn’t know that. I guess I just always attended weddings!
