Not gonna lie. Was spurned by my big brother (fraternity, not blood). Bastard held a grudge (messed around with a serious girlfriend of his when they were on the fritz, probably four, five years before). fricking amazing.
Mad/sad, not really. Surprised, yeah.

Had this convo the other day. Not sure yet how I'd feel if I was merely excluded from the wedding party, as some people feel obligated to include family members and the such over their close friends.
I'd be more upset about being snubbed completely from being invited to a wedding I thought I was a shoo-in for. I think a big factor for me would be who else was invited. Buddy of mine got married a couple years ago and I thought for sure I'd at least be invited to the wedding. Long story short, I never got an invite and was kind of disappointed, but I eventually just shrugged it off, thinking maybe it's a small wedding or something. But then I found out about some of the dipshit mutual friends we had that got invites over me and that pissed me off more. A lot of "that fricking guy got invited and I didn't!?"

100% of women, yes.
100% of men, no.

I'm not going to say I was mad/sad at the time, but a great and longtime friend of mine got married and I was not asked to serve. This was after he served as my best man in my wedding.
However, as we showed up to the wedding, I realized that only his brother served, and myself and my wife were two of the 15 (family included) that were invited. So I didn't feel so bad after that.

on the flip side to this. I have seen brides ask all their BFFs as maids and leave out sisters/cousins. Then years later realize the BFFs were bitches that DGAF about them.

How good of friends are y'all? I have weddings I've missed of people I grew up and went to college with. We bung out together, but mainly because we had mutual friends

Is this like butt play? I wouldn't go to their wedding either.

No. I'd be pissed if I didn't get invited to the bachelor party though!

I don't care. When I got married, I let my wife pick her bridesmaids and once that was finalized I said, how many groomsman do I need?
In other words, why should guys care, it's more often than not the bride who sets the magic number.
The all time record was when I was in a wedding party with 16 bridesmaids and 16 groomsmen. Ridiculous.

I'm going to say I disagree with everyone about being "happy" not to be asked to be in a wedding. Yeah, it may cost you a couple hundred bucks for a tux, but there are a lot of other benefits.
1. Obviously, it should be an honor to be asked
2. You get to go to the rehearsal dinner. I know you have to deal with the rehearsal, but afterwards you get free food and alcohol. Most of the rehearsal dinners I've been to have been a lot of fun.
3. Usually, you do something enjoyable the day of the wedding; golf, barbeque, etc. Typically, it's just the wedding party.
4. Sometimes, just the groomsman and ushers are invited to the bachelor party. So, by being in the wedding, you are guaranteed in that group.
5. You get a gift. Yeah, it may be something shitty, but it is more than some dude that just got invited to the wedding gets.
6. You typically get served first during the dinner of the wedding.

I had one of best friends get engaged and he called me up to be in his wedding party. He went to La Tech so I had never met his fiancée. My then fiancée at the time and I drove up to have dinner and meet them. They were very strange together and off putting and not hospitable and my buddy was acting weird.
Anyway he calls me a few days later and says one of the bridesmaids dropped out and so he has to drop someone and it was down to me or his brother. I said no problem because I realized he was full I shite. His brother would never be dropped so I new he was feeding me shite.
Wife did some Facebook stalking and his wife had posted a layout I their wedding party from a few days before with me already out. Skipped the wedding and haven't talked to him since and thusly have give him several beatdowns in fantasy football since.

I'd be more likely to get mad at being asked to be in the wedding party. Being a groomsman can be expensive.

<------ this guy has, but I've come to terms that I don't have any friends and no one likes me.

i celebrate when i'm left out of wedding parties
i have one friend who still apologizes to me to this day (almost 10 years later) and i have to continue to tell him to chill out

I thought this was the OT where people wiped their arse with $100 bills. There are a lot of people in this thread worried about the price of a tux rental.

So much poor talk on the OT today. Are we having an open house?

One of my friends threw a hissy fit when he wasn't selected to be a groomsman and was asked to be an usher. He ended up not even going to the wedding. I always though that it would be such a bitch move for a guy to get upset over somethjng like that. Just be happy for your friend, you can still have fun at the wedding, there are so many things to consider when choosing a wedding party. You can't please everyone.
