Today, my best friend of over 16 years is getting married. I was supposed to be her Maid of Honor. Instead I was uninvited a few weeks ago. FML
Today, I was the best man at my longtime friend’s wedding. I got so into talking about our shared memories over the years that I accidentally called his bride by his ex-girlfriend’s name at the end of my toast. FML
Today, I found out that my friends finally scheduled their wedding. The entire friend group of the groom, which I am part of, is in the wedding. Except me. If I go I’ll have to watch my boyfriend, who is a groomsman, walk down the aisle with one of the bride’s friends on his arm while I sit alone. FML

My grandpa always used to say that true love is a two way street.. The love of your life is out there waiting for you to find them, OP! Stay strong :)

Only thing you can do is move on, and just accept that she doesn't feel that same. There are so many girls looking for someone like you. Just look in the right places. :)

I'm sorry, but I had to vote YDI. Nobody forced you to go. I understand wanting to be supportive, but speaking from experience, it's not worth the pain you put yourself through. A few years ago, I met a guy and his girlfriend through some mutual friends of ours. They eventually got engaged, and invited me to the wedding. I had developed feelings for him over that time, but never told him outright, to avoid things getting awkward with everyone. I was happy for them, but couldn't bring myself to watch him marry someone else...so I didn't. He never questioned me about not showing up, and I think it's because he already knew why.

He might be in the wedding party since one of them is his best friend. I imagine it's pretty hard to bow out of a close friend's wedding.

You should probably distance from them a bit and try to move on. Later when you've moved on and found your own love, if the opportunity arises you could if you wanted to, mention you had a thing for them in the past. If the best friend was really your best friend, you would have most likely told them of your crush, and they would've made sure you were comfortable with being there(the wedding). Personally, I would hate to do that, best friend or not that's heart breaking, so I wouldn't attend, and if the shoe was on the other foot, I wouldn't be angry if my best friend didn't wanna go, sad yes but not angry because I'd understand. So all in all, it wouldn't hurt to rethink whether you and the best friend, are really "best friends". Very sorry to hear you had to go through that pain, but it's probably a good opportunity to really try and move on, sucks I know but what else can you do at this point?

No that's not what I said, I said as best friends I'm sure they discussed crushes during their friendship, and it's possible the OP's best friend might've known of the OP's feelings. If that were the case, the nice thing to do would be to ask the OP if they would be comfortable or okay with attending the wedding knowing who they're marrying. It's not like a responsibility thing it's just the nice thing to do when you know the affects it could have on someone. But like I said I'm basing this opinion off of the possibility the "best friend" new of the OP's feelings.

Ok but crushes and "love of my life" are two hugely different things. If my best friend mentioned in passing that they had a crush on my future spouse I might tease them about it on my wedding day, but I wouldn't ask them if this would be emotionally devastating for them. And if I considered my best friend's spouse the love of my life I would have addressed these feelings long before the wedding.

That's basically what I said OP should've done; address things before the wedding. I'm not saying the OP wasn't at fault or anything I'm just saying that it would've been better to not go if OP couldn't handle it, and I felt also that as the best friend, if they knew as well then it would've been nice if they asked "hey will you be okay going?" Sort of thing.

Honestly if you never made your feelings known, and sat through the entite engagement all mopey, I feel for your "best friend". It sucks to find out your friend isn't supportive and is instead thinking about themselves.

I fell in love with my ex's married brother.....we had a ridiculous friendship....he was like a big brother to me for a very long time... One day it just clicked and it was too late to ruin lives :( so to make life easier on myself I distranced them ALL, made them hate me....life's too short for regrets dude seriously. I don't recommend my route though because when a friendship turns deeper and you start to hate the man she loves its time to walk away....DONT LET IT GET THAT FAR... you need a distraction OR you need to walk away. Once you end those friendships and cut ties people will wonder....let them be happy and figure out how to either let her go or dont but you don't deserve that pain and neither do they... SHIT HAPPENS and sometimes that shit hurts....I'm sorry
