theoretically, i feel like i wouldnt get upset, but after some thinking, there are a few buddies that I would be pretty pissed about if they wouldnt ask me to be a groomsman. none of my friends have gotten married yet

I know a girl whose brother was getting married and the bride asked the groom's other 2 sisters to be bridesmaids. she was so upset.

how many of yall have been spurned, and how much mad/butthurt did it inflict?

Mad that someone didn't make me rent a penguin suit?

Nah, I wouldn't be mad.

I consider it a blessing. But in your scenario, it's hard to view it as anything but a snub.

I don't think I would ever get mad at that...

My wife had one of her friends, who she asked to be a bridesmaid, not even come to our wedding because she asked someone else to be her maid of honor

it was one of her best friends growing...didn't even show up

That is really fricked up. Even if she is good friends with the 2 sisters and not the girl you know, just add one more spot.

The only thing close for me was when I wasn't picked to be best man. I was upset for about 5 minutes, then quickly forgot about it.

Me I don't get upset over anything anyone does for their wedding. There are just too many god damned rules and too much etiquette involved, and everyone's got to make their own choice. There are a few people (basically family members) that I'd be upset if they straight up didn't invite me, but other than that IDGAF.

Normally I wouldn't care, but in this situation it would definitely hurt my feelings a bit. Especially if they are all close in age.

I wouldn't be upset. I get to save money by not being in the wedding party.

Excluded? No.

Agitated to be included, yes.

Tux rental, standing around for pictures, having to commit to other functions... no thanks.
Now the bachelor party, however.

lot's of "wouldn't care," as I thought. idk, i just feel like if I wasn't asked by the buddies that I've been friends with from elementary through college, I'd be kinda pissed

definitely a more woman-esque thing, though

guess it just depends

if one of my best friends asked all our of our other friends and left me out, then yeah, I'd be like "WTF?"

I don't know if I would be mad/sad, but his wedding gift might be a little cheaper

Not being included in the wedding party doesn't bother me.

I have ended a friendship over not being invited to a wedding. I literally got texted by 7 people asking why I wasn't there, and we were good friends at the time, hanging out once every 2 weeks or so and definitely in the same group friend wise.

I'm a chick and this wouldn't really bug me. I wasn't in or invited to a close friend's wedding because we were having a huge falling out at the time(we've long since gotten over it and she was at my wedding).

The only time it has ever bothered me was for one of my cousins. He is two months older than me, so we were/are obviously very close. We grew up together, roomed together in college, etc. He asked me to be an usher in his wedding, and it pissed me off because that's basically all the negative aspects of being in a wedding (tux, rehearsal, pics, etc) without the honor of being a groomsman.

I still said yes and did it because I understood it's not about me, but I did have a WTF moment. He was still a groomsman in my wedding, even though it was after his.
