People are so weird about that stuff. That's why we decided to elope, because we are so unable to deal with that pettiness, and we're kind of babies about it.

Because books.
They know you can't have 300 people just to make sure no one's delicate baby feelings are hurt! Because IT'S NOT THIRD GRADE.
And yet! It's so absurd.
Rant to us and continue to ignore her. Grownups, and I assume she is one, should know better. And yet!
Stupid typos.

I'm glad we did it the way we did it, and I thought grown-ass adults would understand that (1) our wedding is not actually ABOUT THEM, and (2) weddings actually have monetary -- and SANITY -- restrictions on them 99% of the time, and therefore 99% of weddings probably can't accomodate the entire fucking world.
Man, I don't even want to deal with this person, and I know I have to see her next weekend. Or, wait, maybe the next weekend. Anyway, soon. And now I just want to punch her in the throat.
I get being disappointed about not being invited to something other people were invited to. But making shitty passive-aggressive comments about it online where you know it'll be seen by the person who didn't invite you? That's just childish.

Our wings are not tired.
Some people are always going to find something to bitch about.
There are also the people that you invite because you should who react by suggesting it is a gift request. You can't please all the people all the time, so your best shot is going for pleasing yourself.

I'm angry now that I'm letting this bother me. I'm angry that I'm letting this make me feel shitty about my wedding. I was doing great at letting go of my raaaage at the B&B for screwing us over, and just remembering the good parts, and now this person is using my wedding to make me feel bad for leaving her out of the 3rd-grade slumber party? And it's working.
I'm angry at myself for being so easily manipulated. And angry that a grown-ass adult would be all, "Let me take your one wedding day and use it to make you feel like a terrible person."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wow, that is dumb and passive aggressive. What everyone else said - I've been sad about not being invited to a wedding but I dealt and got over it.

I'm glad you did it the way you did it too! 'cause it sounds like an awesome time. Our elopement really was because we did not have the emotional fortitude to deal with everyone's craziness, especially our parents'. I absolutely admire the fortitude of those who are able to handle it!
I'm sorry that this childishness is intruding on you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Teppy, that's ridiculous. I'm sorry you're dealing with that crap.
Also, what Nora said. I felt like we either had to do 200 or elope. And there was just no way.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And angry that a grown-ass adult would be all, "Let me take your one wedding day and use it to make you feel like a terrible person."
But that's not what he's doing. She's taken your one wedding day and made it ALL ABOUT HER AND HER INSANE EXPECTATIONS. I promise you there is no way you could please this person. If you had invited them, they'd complain about having to give a gift or about the fact that you barely spent any time talking to them at the reception. It's very clear who the terrible person is, and it ain't you.

She wanted me to feel like a terrible person. Otherwise she wouldn't have phrased it the way she did, saying "many were LEFT OUT." Like we deliberately decided "Well, we *could* invite these people, but fuck them, let's not invite them, now we will laugh like the evil overlords we are."
