It was a detonation wedding: Our friendship exploded

The groom said my husband is dead to him. The bride refused my package.

    Dead?

    I want to pose another question, or angle on the question. What if, maybe, the new husband was being IRONIC, silly, making a JOKE? Then, the shattered and bereft response of the letter writer, the inability to get over the fact that she was not very smart about travel costs combined with her sense of sacrifice over attending the event, would account for the decision of the other couple to decide, Holy shit, this isn't your day, dear. We invited you, attend, be happy, but don't be all upset about things, and if that is the way you are going to respond, then fuck off.

    Really.
