OK, she's taking care of her husband. Sorry that the world really didn't revolve around you. I think people shouldn't be allowed to have a wedding with guests and a reception until they've been legally married for a year. That way, they can see the marriage is about so much more than the dress, caterer, and cake. Did you have a beautiful wedding? Will you treasure the memories forever? Or did you sit around the whole time stewing because someone had the nerve to not show up?

Well I guess it would depend on how close this friend was to you. If it was a very close friend almost best friend I would be a little irritated, and hurt. But it depends, did the wedding occur already and then she cancelled at the last minute when you paid for her and her husband? If so, yes I would be irritated. It is expensive to pay for a wedding and that is why you send the invitations out and the RSVPS so you know what you are paying for. If she said yes and you paid for her and guest I would be annoyed. I would ask her politely to cover for her plate and her guest since she said she would be coming. If this isn't the case and you invited her to your wedding and she says no upfront I wouldn't hold a grudge. Things happen. As bad of an excuse as it is I wouldn't hold it against her. Just keep it moving and be nice

I think I would take that as nothing more than her loving her hubby enough to care when his foot is swollen. Something might have happened. You never know. My foot doesn't swell up for no reason. I say you should talk to her if it bothers you enough to. She may just bring up what happened to his foot the next time you two talk to each other. Don't worry...She just loves her man.

I think you should be understanding. She would have been worried through the entire ceremony and she would have had to sit there and been totally uncomfortable. I would not want my friend to have gone through that. I would hope that my friend would understand that i want to take care of my husband.She will be sorry that she missed your wedding but some things are unavoidable have a little bit of understanding.

A couple of possibilities here:
She may have wanted,badly, to attend the wedding, but felt an obligation to her husband, assuming that he was incapable of caring for himself. Maybe she took him to the emergency room and stayed with him during the wedding.
On the other hand:
In Russia, they say, "I have to go and tie up my milk."
What this means, essentially, is that, when you don't want to do something, one excuse is as good as another.
If you want to keep her as a friend, just overlook her lapse.

Have compassion. Swelling is caused by many things, some of which can be fatal. Doctors are not always right in diagnosis.

If you really thought that she was your friend, you wouldn't even ask this question.
You're upset because she couldn't make it and she probably is too, so Don't react to it.
Do-do occurs and life goes on.

To her it may seem like a HUGE problem, to you it may not seem all that important. I would say "Thank you for letting me know" and then send her a piece of cake after, at least she bothered letting you know at all.

Get a " Get well Soon!" card for her husband!
