What Do You Think?

If your husband was invited to a wedding in the same city as you, with some of his guy friends from his childhood, would you be o-kay with him going? Or would you be upset that he was going to a wedding without you?

I thought the answer was black and white, but I'd be interested to see what you say...

oh it seems perfectly fine for him to go...I'd just think it's a bit inpolite of the couple not to invite you as well. ...but then again guest lists are probably a difficult juggling act to make and you don't know what the reasoning behind it is.

...but I think I'd feel a bit insulted and left out.

Definitely black and white. Of course my husband could go.

If there's one thing I remember about weddings, it's that planning the guest list is the hardest part. You can't afford to invite everyone you've ever had contact with so you start with your closest family and then work your way out to friends. All you can do is hope that people will be happy for you, regardless of whether or not they got an invite to the wedding.

Oh...here's a compromise. It's customary that anyone could come to the ceremony. The wife could have joined her husband at the ceremony and then he and his buddies could have attended the reception.

As with previous posters, I think it is a bit odd that you were extended the invite but don't think anything weird of the fact that Darryl has gone to the wedding. We have had that experience as well and for me, as much as I love my hubby, it was a refreshing break for the both of us.

Besides, I think that you got the better end of the deal. You have that handsome little man to share cookies in bed with you. I can't think of a better experience than that. :)

Seeing as Aaron is from Calgary I doubt we'd ever be in the situation but I don't think I'd have a problem with it. I think I'd rather keep the $600 and stay at home with my boys.
Aaron has the odd business trip and although spouses are encouraged to attend I always stay home.
Allie's totally right, it is a refreshing break.

I was invited with Guest. Jenn and I decided that it was better that I just go and she stay home to same the money. The wedding is in London ON, so of course there was a flight involved and therefore extra cost.
