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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my best friend's wedding. All my friends and their boyfriends were seated at one table, while I, as the only single girl in the group, was put on a table with all the other single people. They were all over forty years older than me. I feel like I have seen my future. FML
Today, I found my two best friends making out with each other. Not a big deal, right? Wrong. Today was my wedding day. One of the friends was my maid of honor, the other was my groom. FML
Today, I'm sitting at home, alone, playing video games. My wedding is tomorrow afternoon. None of my bridesmaids wanted to hang out tonight. FML
Today, it was my wedding. Everyone showed up… except my fiancé. FML
Today, I had the rehearsal for two of my friends' wedding. My ex-husband is also in the wedding, and I just found out we have to walk down the aisle together 'for height reasons'. FML
Today, I was on Facebook looking at pictures of my boyfriend, who was in his friend's wedding this past weekend. He said that none of the girlfriends could come because it would cost too much for the couple. I spent the weekend alone, and all his friend's girlfriends are in the pictures. FML
Today, it's the wedding of a two friends that I introduced each other to about a year ago. I'll be enjoying it on my couch. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I had to sit through the wedding of my best friend and the love of my life, and pretend to be happy for them. FML
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Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid. His brother tried to explain that they'd decided to make the ceremony for family members only, then two our classmates popped out to say hello. They're not related, neither to my friend nor to his fiancée. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Just because you’re in their friendship circle doesn’t mean you have to be in the wedding party. Who cares if your boyfriend is walking down the aisle with another bridesmaid, it’s not like they’ll be getting married. Just be happy for your friends.

Yeah. That’s how weddings work.

It's okay to feel what you feel. You're not defined by feelings, but how you act upon them. I don't think they meant any hurt by it, though. Maybe you can still have a good time there? Just try not to read too far into things.

I was part of my aunts wedding and I had to walk down the aisle with her friends son, his gf broke up with him over it, don’t be that girl.

I watched my partner walk with a bridesmaid down the aisle, and dance with her etc at a wedding last month. She also had my name. It didn’t feel good as this was our first event as a couple and the dancing was announced to the party last minute. It sucked but he spent as much time with me as he could which made it better. It was a lovely evening and we all had a good time by the end. It’s THEIR DAY, let it be the way they want and let it go.

That’s happening to me too except I’m not friends with the bride or groom I won’t know anyone but my fiancé who will be a groomsman... I’m not going

Nothing is “happening” to you. Your partner walking with someone of the opposite gender isn’t an event. Be a adult and get over it.

Hello, OP here. I do plan on going to the wedding and I’m not that upset about not being picked to be in the wedding party. I am more upset about sitting alone with strangers. I’m not planning on breaking up with my boyfriend over this or even being mad at him. I was simply venting because I felt excluded and have social anxiety that makes it scary to have to sit with strangers.

I wasn't my friends bridesmaid even though my husband was their groomsmen. I didn't choose my husband's groomsmens wife even though he was chosen. Have fun. Stop being petty.

You do realize the entire idea of "weddings" is religious based so of course they only cater to the hetero norm... most of them are bigots and lie to themselves daily. This is why I don't go to weddings myself. Religious ceremonies are disgusting and the fact it's tied to our gov't is such a violation of church and state It's just ridiculous.
