A Reddit user shared a long post about feeling hurt after not receiving an invitation to their best friend’s wedding, despite contributing financially to the bachelorette trip and actively traveling to visit the venue and attend makeup testing. The user is now in a dilemma, wanting to step back from the wedding preparations after not being invited. The post, shared on r/AmIOverreacting on November 13, had drawn 114 comments at the time of publication. The Reddit user began the post by recalling a fight with their best friend of nine years. They got into an argument, after which the two friends stopped speaking for about 10 months. It was during this break that the user’s best friend got engaged. The user reconnected with her a couple of months ago, and things have been fine since then. The user wrote that since reconnecting, they had been planning parts of her wedding together. She even invited the user on a trip to the wedding venue a month before the wedding.
