Sandy, a similar thing happened to me. I don't want to go into specific details, but I was shocked and hurt. I decided to attend the wedding, and I had fun, but the friendship was over as far as I was concerned.
I wish that I could go back in time, talk to her, and try to repair our friendship. It's one of the few regrets I have. I really miss my friend. At the time, I was too hurt to deal with it. I'm sure she had a reason for not picking me. I just wish that she had told me instead of learning it from someone else.
Sandy, I would really think long and hard before declining the wedding invitation. You need to decide if you want to remain friends with her or not. She didn't handle it well, and your feelings are valid. I think that you should talk to the bride. It might give you some peace of mind as well as salvage your friendship, if that's what you want.
