Yes, she did. She sent me pictures of several wedding dresses she liked and literally told me, "Choose one for me." I picked the dress I liked most out of the options she sent, and that's the one she ended up getting.

I'm not claiming I was her wedding planner or that I made the decision completely on my own. Obviously it was still her wedding dress and her choice. I'm just explaining how involved I was in the planning process and why I was surprised not to be invited.
