A colleague of mine married off a son recently out of town. I received an invitation to the chupa and ??? ?????. I assumed that he ahd a large family and was limited on space. I was also delighted that I would not have to travel out of town after a long days work.
Well a few weeks before the wedding he calls me up and asks me if I was planing on joining in the simcha. I said that I wasnt invited to the dinner. He said it must have been a mistake by the one who filled the envelopes, as he had instructed them to put me on the dinner list, and that he would really like to see me there. Now I had no option but to go!
Whats better, not to be invited, or to be invited and feel you MUST attend?
