AITAH for not attending my friend’s wedding because I wasn’t invited to the bridal shower?

My friend and I have been close for years.

She is getting married soon.

I found out that everyone in our friend group was invited to her bridal shower.

Except me.

This woman was hurt by not being invited to the bridal shower.

I wasn’t even given a heads-up.

And honestly, I felt pretty hurt.

It wasn’t like I didn’t have time to attend.

It just felt like a clear sign that I wasn’t as close to her as I thought.

She was conflicted about attending her friend’s wedding.

A couple of weeks later, she invited me to the wedding.

I was super torn. I thought about going.

But honestly, I felt like, “Why should I go to the wedding?”

She couldn’t even invite me to a small event like the bridal shower.

She didn’t go, but the bride kept texting her.

I ended up declining her wedding invitation.

And telling her I was busy that day.

She’s been texting me nonstop.

She’s saying I’m being dramatic.

She said that I should’ve just come to the wedding.

She felt like she wasn’t a priority.

But, I just feel like I’m not a priority to her.

And maybe this is my way of showing her how I feel.

AITA for not going to her wedding?
