Dearest Ains and Claire,
It is with my deepest regret that I have to inform you that I will be unable to attend your wedding. Robyn and I wish you lots of joy and happiness and would like to invite you both to join us for Dinner after you come back from honeymoon and are settled in.
Lots of Love Harry x

It sounds great. It's straight to the point and you are not making an excuse. You are giving them an invitation so now its up to them. Think you may need to give a link to your previous question so people know what you are talking about.

I think you are being petty here by not going yourself.
Fair enough you want to share the day with your new girlfriend, but the bride doesn't want her to be part of the big day as she doesn't know her. This is very common at weddings, it doesn't mean she doesn't want to get to know her, just that it is inappropriate to expect her to attend the wedding when your gf doesn't know the bride and groom.
They can't just add someone else on to the meal, it is not that easy especially if they have tightly budgeted and carefully planned etc. And for you to offer to miss the meal is nonsense, why would they agree to do that to you.
Your good friend would want YOU there, don't cut your nose off to spite your face, just go as originally planned. Explain to your gf that there really isn't a way to work her into the celebration as everything has been so carefully planned, if she knows anything about weddings or is not immature, she will understand.
Imagine if you miss your good friends wedding because of this girl and then you break up, you will kick yourself for not turning up when you should have.

You could have added details and inserted this into your other question.
I think you should still go. Bring along your girlfriend but have her do other things for a few hours while you are at the ceremony/reception. Stay at the reception long enough to say thank you and grab a bite to eat, then excuse yourself and spend the rest of the time with your g/f. Don't bring her to the ceremony or reception.

I think this is very appropriate. Maybe when the bride realizes that her attitude had made her miss out on having a dear friend attend she will be able to take a good long look at her behavior. It's a shame you are missing the wedding, but I applaude you for standing up for yourself and your g/f and for going out of your way to be respectfull of the bride.
Good luck.

I just read your other question. This sounds lovely and it is not placing the blame on anyone.
But I think you should go to the wedding yourself. She wasn't invited so she shouldn't go. You can take her to Scotland with you, have her shop for the day but she shouldn't attend the wedding.

You should have wished them "much" joy and happiness and dinner should not have been capitalized. Other than that it was fine.

thats is fine, nice and polite, think its silly of your friend though not wanting your new g/f not to go, but at least one of you is being grown up about it.
