An old colleague and travel bud has invited me to her wedding. I lived abroad for years, and have been home for six months. Since I got back she has turned down my (email) requests to catch up, even though we live in the same city. I will know no one at her wedding, and the invitation was for me only, no extra guest. Should I attend her big day? Or send my apologies with a present?

If she didn't want you there she woudn't have invited you. One of the reason that the invite said only your name is that they are trying to invite people that matter to them and concentrate their money on people they want to have there. That is a bonus in your favor. Go, have a good time, wish her luck on her marriage, and enjoy!

Well maybe she has not responded to your email because she has been busy with wedding planing. If the wedding is on a day that you have no plans, well it might be fun, however if something else comes up that you rather go too,then you may not want to attend. Also is her friendship that important to you? So you may need to think about all this, and I am sure you will come up with a decision.

I think you should go to celebrate along with her. Even though she hasn't responded to your emails, she probably was too busy planning her wedding! Don't miss out on your friend's wedding just because she didn't respond back. I am sure she has some explanation. There has to be a reason why she invited you in the first place. (smile)

I would go and make an appearance. During the time of a wedding it is hard to make time for others that matter. During my wedding I only had 3 months to plan I only saw my now husband when he was sleeping. Don't take it to hart.

Perhaps her turning down your requests to catch up are due to wedding stress. Planning the big day is very stressful. Go to the wedding and see if she is different when you actually see her in person. Be the bigger person, you might regret it forever if you do.

Look at it in a brighter way. This si the best catching up you will evr do. You have to meet her realtives and freinds and most of all her husband. Weddings are renowned to have the most beautiful and unattatched women. Try your luck. Remember to get her a gift.

I'm gonna have to go with don't bother. Really, send your regrets and instead of buying a gift, take yourself out to dinner. You're not close anymore and she hasn't wanted to re-establish friendship. No hard feelings or anything, but why go when you'd be on your own and not know anyone?

I'd go - but I love weddings! you can always use it as an opportunity to meet people (and there's free cake :)
dont not go just to spite her cos of her not wanting to catch up - you could have a great time! only dont go if you will be uncomfortable and not enjoy yourself

I wouldn't go. Sounds like she may have invited you out of guilt. But of course send a gift.

I think if I were you I wouldnt go and will just send my apologies with a present as she isn't close to me anyway.
