    I don't think it's that you're horrible to be around.

    Are u close to this family member? If so how close?

    Have u spoken to them in the last year?

    If u had a budget on your own wedding and you had to knock a few people off your list, would this person go?

    I don't think your family member meant to hurt you. With weddings, it's always easy for the bride and groom to make people feel bad when they don't invite someone that most people would think they would invite.

    When my mom's best friend had a wedding, she said I wasn't invited because there would be no kids and I was 16 at the time so I understood. But when the pictures came out it seemed to me that there were more kids than adults and I was sad. I cannot lie but when I spoke to my mom's best friend about it, she expressed that it wasn't personal and that unfortunately because many of those kids were not invited and there was no room in the budget for them they shared plates with their parents and they weren't at all happy to be there.

    All that to say that there is a reason for everything and maybe when the family member comes back from their honeymoon or returns to normal life u can have a heart to heart with them and maybe their reason won't make u feel so down. Until then don't be so hard on yourself. In my honest opinion, I don't believe it was personal.

    People do things for weird reasons that sometimes have nothing to do with you. Maybe she thought you wouldnt be up to it or maybe she wasnt thinking much at all. Try not to,personalize it as you are a bad person, this would be in her.
