It’s not a good friend - More of an acquaintance so it’s not really that big of a deal. And yes I would say that because I do not go to Catholic churches
It's a big enough deal that you've taken the time to come here and post about it instead of shrugging it off and saying "whatever" and moving on.
Oh lordy Rose but that was very selfish of you. I'm no fan of organized religion but I had some friends that were very Catholic, and I do mean very. He did a lot of church plays and we attended nearly every one of them. Yes we were supporting something I would have rather taken a pass on, but he was our friend, and that was more important. There is always give and take in relationships and sometimes there is something more important then a conviction. I would have compromised and celebrated your friend's big day with her in church.
I'm betting that if the OP had just RSVPed to the wedding invitation but had only shown up to the reception, the bride wouldn't have been the wiser in the whirlwind of events (unless it was a super small group--in that case, claim car trouble.) By saying what she did to the bride, she's opened up a whole can of worms that may have irreparably damaged the friendship.
I have major issues with the Catholic Church and I won’t step foot in one. My friend is mad at me because I told her I cannot come to the ceremony. I told her I would like to attend the reception. Now she doesn’t want to come at all. Which is fine. It’s her day.
Is it necessary to go to the ceremony?
You're not there to honor the church, you're there to honor your friend. Take a 90 minute break from your moral supremacy and go to the wedding.
Jeez people, lighten up. At this point, there's been more
self-righteousness demonstrated in the responses than
what those responses claimed of the OP. Give it a rest
before irony-meters across the globe implode.
(now watch as the thread doubles in size with more of
the same... that's CD for ya... )

Don't be fatuous.
This is a message board designed to get opinions.
She basically crapped all over her friend's wedding day in order to feed her self-righteousness.
So, OP, you killed the friendship on a sanctimonious soapbox that you mistook for a hill to die on.
But hey, as long as you're good with it.
Didn't expect the hoi polloi to tell you that you were wrong, did you?
I would rep you more than once if I could— yes it was a sanctimonious move to be on a high horse and a sad hill to die on that only made her look like she views even another’s wedding day as about herself.
OP
I had asked you a question—
If your brother was molested by a high school coach would you turn down a friends invite to her daughters high school graduation day. Based on all high school coaches are bad and Hereford all high schools are too and then just offer to come and eat at the restaurant meal after?
