I’m not married, and my friends do not tend to get married, so I only watch everything that unfolds around weddings from afar. Some people grew up thinking this was the most important day in their lives, so it’s very difficult to convince them otherwise, or at least to get them to understand that other people’s lives don’t revolve around weddings. Something similar happens with birthdays: when somebody doesn’t come to our birthday, we get super offended, and we probably missed some friend’s birthday before like it was nothing. In the moment, it’s really hard to accept we might have a double standard or that if we’re not invited, it might not mean something deep.
