Have we all seen the Historic Royal Palaces YouTube series on Which Wife Was the Best Wife?

According to this line of reasoning, I am going to go with Catherine Parr.

You're welcome.

If you make it plain you won't be hurt if they say no, I think it's fine. And if I like you enough to invite you to my wedding and you like me enough to send that awkward email, it's probably going to make me really happy you asked.

Unless it was "and the thing was an invasion and you're a combat communications commander, or a heart transplant and all the other heart surgeons were having heart surgery done on them." I don't think that happens very often except in episodes of Grey's Anatomy, though.

It's still *rude* but it's something you can sincerely apologize and be forgiven for having to do. And the intendeds will probably understand sometimes needs trump courtesy.

A tiny part of me wonders if she was cackling with glee at this event...

WORD.

Seriously. SERIOUSLY. Having lost the art of RSVPing is just appalling. My inner Miss Manners gets fumey about it. It's so rude. I pretty much have quit throwing parties because people don't RSVP or don't come at all without saying or show up way late to a dinner or... or... It's lucky my introversion gland is over producing right now, since that morass would make my "noone likes me" anxiety kick into overdrive.

RSVPing and then not coming to a wedding is 10th circle of hell rude.
