Dear Queenie,
A friend of mine is getting married on a day when I will be away on business so I RSVPed that I would not attend, and now she is mad at me because she thinks I said “no” because I’m not a member of the wedding party.
Queenie, I explained all this to her, but wasn’t it rude of her to get mad at me for not attending?—Not a wedding guest
Dear Not a guest,
Yes, your friend was rude, but it might have saved both of you all this trouble if you had explained your reason for not attending when you declined the invitation.
