I just wanted to give a shout out for all of the brides out there who are not "present fishing" and may have wanted to extend an invitation to someone who holds a dear place in ones memory. Even though your friendship has not stood the test of time, perhaps she wanted to honor the memory of your past closeness. I am not advocating that you attend, but when I read all of the jaded messages you have recieved, I thought I should speak up for this bride to be that could have the very best of intentions. When I am invited to a wedding, I send a card and a gift if I cannot attend, I do not know that this is a must do, but its just something I feel is appropriate. Even a small gift such as a wedding frame and a note that you will be thinking of them on their big day is a small, but thoughtful gesture. Good luck with your decision.
