Please let me know if you there is anything I can do or be in charge of for the weekend of the wedding once we all get to [place of wedding] to make [bride]'s big day go smoothly. I am willing to help out in any way possible for her.
Thanks and I can't wait to see everyone,"
I tried not to stir up anything (I am super straight forward too!) and be eloquent and gracious. So what's done is done! I am over it!
Thanks again ya'll!!!!!

I think your response was perfect. You made your point, but it wasn't confrontational or rude. Good job!
