Weddings. A beautiful time to celebrate two people finding each other in this world and celebrating the love that will encapsulate their lives until death parts them. A time where two worlds collide; the friends and family of both parties come together through their mutual bond of either the bride or groom.
The invitees are specially handpicked, thoughtfully placed on a guest list and it’s assumed that they’ll be present at the ‘I do’’
It is an honour to be invited to a wedding. To think that your name has been thought of out of all the acquaintances, the work colleagues, the people they met on Contiki, that they could invite – you, my friend, are one of the chosen ones and deemed worthy enough for a seat and a chicken or beef main meal.
It’s special, to say the least.

Kind of sounds like she made the right choice, then.
I don't really understand why the author didn't simply say she'd already agreed to attend someone else's wedding on the same day. It seems unnecessarily hurtful to reveal that she chose/prioritised one invitation over the other.
Yeah I think common etiquette is that you go to the event you were invited to first, unless one of them is much closer, like a best friend or family. And then you just lie and say you were invited to that one first, and send a lovely gift.
