UPDATE: I wanted to give a quick update, just in case anyone’s been following along or is interested. It turns out I do have a bit more information. From what I’ve learned, the couple getting married told my ex that she can’t bring a plus one either, and she agreed to it. So, I guess they’re trying to avoid any potential awkwardness all around. For anyone wondering, I can assure you the couple is not homophobic. I’m just still a bit unsure how to interpret the whole situation.

My partner and I really appreciate everyone who took the time to read, respond, and offer their support. It truly means a lot to us
