wedding invite

just received a text message from a friend, or rather an acquaintance from college. she will be holding her wedding reception at some date in march and is asking me to confirm my attendance. wondering what she was thinking. probably that was a mass text message sent to everyone in her phone list. isnt a wedding something sacred, beautiful, once-a-lifetime event to behold? something that you only want your family and close friends to be part of. why is she inviting somewho no less than a stranger, someone who probably doesnt know how to share in her joy, doesnt really want to waste hours to mingle with the crowd, and go up to the couple to give blessings and then awkward silence. if she is sending out her invitation through a text message, it already signifies the relationship between her and the invitees. so what is her point of the whole thing? bleugh.
