I am so upset, this friend from church is having a wedding and
they have deleted me from Facebook and they only way I found out she was engaged was by a mutual friend. So I am pretty sure I wont be invited to the wedding even though this is someone I have known for years from church. And I just want to know why I wasn't invited, and I suspect it may be because of a falling out I had with her sister where she yelled at me for wanting to crash this other mutual friends wedding a few years ago. Would it be rude to just ask why I wasn't invited and make sure it wasn't because of this and she hates me?

is this friends name Amy Poehler? if so, i think you should respect the restraining order she's put in place...
My closest friend from here just got engaged, for some reason I've had this long standing fear he will get married during Bonnaroo. I guess I'll find out soon.

You need to lay down the law. Tell him no mid-June wedding, or else...

This seems like maybe a thread more appropriate for a forum like this >>>> Wedding Beeeeeeez
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

Man, just last week I had to deal with a super passive aggressive line of texts from a female friend who is having her reception this weekend. Not wedding, they got married in the Cayman Islands last month for close friends and family. Hell they have been back from the honeymoon for months.
I'm sorry, but you don't get to have your small destination wedding and a huge reception (with all the gifts). Weddings have gotten so out of hand.

Lots of people have asked me if we're having a reception/party "at home" after our super small (immediate family only) wedding in Hawaii, so I think some people dig going to those reception only deals. It's the "fun" part, I guess?
*EDIT* FTR, we're not doing it. If we could afford a big shindig we would've just had a big wedding
I feel like having a reception for people not going to the wedding is kind of like those self addressed and stamped envelopes in graduation announcements, complete unabashed asking for money/stuff. Although i guess you are at least expected to feed the guests in return

Sometimes it is cheaper for the bride and groom to just invite people to the reception (from what I hear, weddings are expensive). Or where they are getting married is too small. I have been invited to a few 'receptions' only and not the wedding part, but we tend to do some stuff a bit different round here too. The ones that I weren't invited to, were family only and the photos from the actual wedding reflected that.
the only logic I can think of behind wedding gifts is, "here! have a bunch of household products you haven't been able to afford because you've been shelling out cash on customized napkins and floral decor coordinators!!"
Am I the only one who thinks that reception only type weddings, where the ceremony was small private or far away, aren't just a plea for gifts? I feel like people actually want to celebrate their wedding with their friends and extended family, but large weddings are super pricey. I feel like a smaller, less formal, "reception" party would be cheaper to accomadate a lot of people. Maybe I'm just stupid and/or optimistic, but I don't think it's just because people want shit.

I don't feel that way either. Like I said before, some people enjoy celebrating the big life events of their friends in whatever way they can.
My wife and I got married mid-week ($1000+ cheaper than the weekend) at a botanical garden and space was limited. We had a reception a few days later in my Dad's back yard. It was really just a matter of wanting to share our celebration but making the schedule and the space to work out.

We did enjoy the gifts, though.
We ran off and got married at the JOP's house. No one knew but us. We had a friend go with us and take photos. Then, when it came time to plan the big wedding, I didn't stress out bc we were already married. It turns out, big weddings aren't for the couple at all. It's about traditions and who invited who to whose wedding years before you were born. I honestly gave my color scheme to my mom and let her go crazy. She was paying for it anyway. My mom LOVES that kind of stuff. She picked out everything from the cake to the food to the table clothes. Our theme was love birds bc his last name was byrd (i kept it bc we have a child together and it's cooler than my maiden name could ever be) and we had bird cages everywhere decorated and frilly and omg it was awesome. The only thing I wanted a say in.... I DIDN'T WANT BRIDESMAIDS. I don't understand that whole tradition. It's MINE AND MY FUTURE HUSBAND'S big day. Why do we need 12 people standing up there beside us? I wanted the focus on us, bc it was about us.

I agree. It has nothing to do with wanting more gifts and stuff, I want to celebrate the occasion with my friends, unfortunately they can not make it to the ceremony in Texas, so we are going to have the 'reception', or what I am calling the Throwdown, back here in Florida.
Also, OP, how long have the two of you not been Facebook friends?
