This was over many years so he must have had girl friends as well.He went on the internet and emt someone who lived reasonable close by-divorced with a grown up family - he never married before. IKt was his birthday last week so just rang him on his mobile to wish him well - he always said keep in touch- as his partner knew all about me anyway-however he said he was married now-couldnt believe it-however I said congratulations. Then he said keep in touch by e mail occasionally.I would like your honest opinions now and I wont get upset : grouphug: :hide:I am a bit put out because I didnt get an invite to their wedding - bear in mind I knew him 18 years he was invited to my friend one christmas then to another friend of mine for two holidays by the sea and we had SIX christmas's away and several holidays in UK and abroad-I do feel put out I didnt get an invite its not that I was an ex girlfriend I was a platonic friend-am I right to expect an invite or NOT??? She does know all about me as just a friend of his. I cant believe that all those years of friendships and staying with me and my friends and holidays must have meant nothing!!!!???

 I've been close friends with people who still didn't invite me to their wedding.. Unless you have a BIG wedding there really isn't room for inviting friends, unless they are really really close friends.
The weddings my friends have had have just been for family, no friends invited, except for one or two (as best man and bridesmaid). When they invite family, thing is, family weddings tend to get very big, because if you invite one uncle you have to invite all the other uncles, etc. And family then tends to take up all the available seats, even though most probably invite family members they rarely even speak to, or haven't had contact with for years. But, blood is thicker than water when it comes to weddings, no matter how good of a friend you are.
Example, when my cousins were married the others cousins weren't invited simply because there was no room. But all aunts and uncles (and their partners) were invited, even the ones they rarely speak to.

 Maybe they had a very small wedding with just close family members ?...Being that for her it was the second wedding, it make sense that perhaps they did not have a big social do including all friends and acquaintances..

 "Sounds" to me like you're trying to hold on to "something" that has long since passed.... and you needn't spend your feelings on the matter of this man any more....
Good luck....
