Mr. NewscasterHottie and Guest

Posted on June 10th, 2008 by User ImageDirty Laundry Diva (Who am I?)

Do you ever have days where you feel invisible? Particularly those days when you are attending the wedding of a “friend” whom you have know for about 10+ years. College drinking parties were attended, there were frequent chats online and occasionally when in the same town we meet for a meal.

Along comes the wedding invitation to NewscasterHottie and DirtyLaundryDiva. NewscasterHottie and said friend were in the same graduating class whereas I was 4 years behind them. Said friend and I were in the same extracurricular activities and spent lots of time together, we were all friends.

So NewscasterHottie and I travel 200 miles to attend the wedding of our mutual friend, we spend $100 in gifts and show up to the wedding. The ceremony was lovely, the bride and groom greated everyone individually and we were going to be seated for dinner.

The seating chart reads “Mr. NewscasterHottie and Guest”.

Guest? Are you fucking kidding me? NewscasterHottie and I have been together for oh about 6 years and we have known the groom for 10+ years yet somewhere along the way my name just slipped their minds!

I realize that NewscasterHottie is an important man but must I always be insignificant in his shadow? I have a name and an identity of my own you know! I do worthwhile things and am not simply leaching on to my man and his career.

Also, NewscasterHottie does have an identity that extends beyond being on tv! The whole time we were at the wedding people kept saying “yeah, I see you on TV now” and that was all they were interested in, like that is all he is good for.

I understand the having a friend go on to be on TV is a novelty for many but for gods sake, you knew him before TV! He is a real person with a life beyond his job, treat him that way.

Needless to say we got a good glimpse of who are real friends are at this wedding, there were only about 3 of them.

    My Mr. is so NOT on TV, but that whole seating thing happened to me. I was so bitter. It caused a melt down (I was young and a little impetuous).

    At said wedding, a FORMER friend asked me if we were REALLY together. WHAT? AFTER asking another friend if he was AVAILABLE. Bitter . . . must let go . . .

    You know, I think he owes me a night out . . . I may even wear heels and a skirt without a stretch band :)

    Thanks for your comment on my blog! And that’s just NOT RIGHT - they should have had your name on that invitation too. I guess this is how a movie star’s girlfriend feels!!

    Is it possible that someone else made the name cards and couldn’t make out your name? i only ask because I’m remembered that for my sister’s wedding, her fiancee addressed the invites with labels he made. We have a lesbian aunt and he didn’t realize he was wrong when he wrote it to “Uncle Pat & Aunt Melanie”.

    Aunt Pat didn’t make it to that wedding.

    I agree with you. They should not have forgotten your name if they had known you for so long!
