One of my closest friend's dgts just got married. I am divorced and not dating anyone. I was invited to this black tie wedding with a guest. I told my friend that I would be bringing my 21 yr. old son, as my escort. My friend informed me that "no children would be invited to the wedding." Explained that he was coming, not as a guest, but as my escort. My friend still refused to allow him to come. I decided to go to the ceremony only, and sent the bride and groom a gift. My friend will not speak with me. I have made several attempts to make amends to her, to no avail. Her concern was that her other friends would be upset that their children were not invited. We seem to be at a standstill. Any comments or advice? Also, I participated in a shower for the bride.
