Tales in Wedding Drama Part 2: You "Do" But I Don't

Now that you have some background info, let's move on to the actual problem with all of this (as if the last post wasn't enough- ha!).

Last Thursday, I received the wedding invite. It was beautiful. As I was admiring the artistry and "prettiness", C was, as usual, looking at the details.

"Well, have a nice time at the wedding!" he said, handing the RSVP card back to me.

"What???" I said, thinking that he was kidding about not coming to the wedding with me.

"The RSVP says 'Number of persons attending: 1' "

I took the card back and examined it. He was right.

"Well it must be a mistake. I mean, they know I'm with you, you even came with me to their engagement party!"

I called my bff and asked her what her RSVP card said... it said 2. I told her why I was asking, and her response was "Oooh...that's weird. That sucks." It sure did. I told a few other friends, wondering how I should respond. I didn't want to send the card back declining- maybe it was an honest mistake (though I don't know why anyone would send an invite and not have +1 or and guest ...usually people try to bring a date to these sort of functions if they can, and I'm in a long-term, committed relationship! WTF!); I didn't want to write over the 1 with a 2, because that seems rude. If they were low on funds or something, I could almost understand better, like maybe they were trying to keep costs down, but that's definitely not the case. S is AVP of a major consulting firm in NYC. And (he recently put on FB) they are going to Bora Bora, Tahiti, and 2 other places I can't even pronounce/haven't even heard of for their 2+week honeymoon!!! (Plus, I asked one of my friends, who also happens to be a bridesmaid, who also said that it must be a mistake and they are doing a very elaborate, expensive wedding, so cutting one person out for cost purposes seemed more than unlikely). But then WHYYYYYY????

My friends' responses were all the same. Shock. Followed by a "you just need to talk to them."

That turned out to be easier said than done. Like I said, I got the invite on Thursday a week and a half ago. I called both S's on Sunday, and left voicemail. I waited. No response. On the following Thursday I called them both again, and left 2 more voicemails. "Hey, I just have a quick question, please call me back when you get this." Nothing.

The lack of response is adding to my uneasiness and awkwardness. The longer time in between receiving the invite and not being able to get in touch with them is also just making me more pissed off. Today I got a tip off that they are not very good at listening to voicemails. One friend said text S1, another friend said to text S2...since I am better friends with S2, I sent a text.

Let's see how this plays out...
