I've found out that one of my friends' weddings is this weekend.
Now, I don't actually recall ever receiving or replying to an invitation, and I can't find one and nothing is written on my calendar. BUT, it strikes me as very odd not to be invited. I'm not offended if I'm not, but it is unusual.
I'm going on holiday this weekend so won't be around for the wedding, but what if I'm supposed to be? The way I see it, I have two options:
1) assume that I'm correct and I've not been invited
2) contact the friend to ask (how awkward!) if I'm invited/expected and let him know in advance I won't be there.

Then what does it matter? Assume you weren't invited and apologize if you were.
If you never received one then don't worry about it. He never wanted you there in the first place.

>Caught wind of your wedding this weekend, and realized I must've lost the invite, never put it on the calendar.
>Unfortunately, I'm away this weekend and can't attend. Just wanted to let you know, in case you were waiting on an RSVP.
>Hope the party is smashing and I'll be looking forward to the pictures!
This has been my play in similar circumstances. It places all the burden of mistaken expectations on the host, but lets him know that there's no hurt feelings or need for explanation if you weren't invited.

It also makes you look like you went into the autists textbook under how to reply as normal as possible and not offending anyone. And to some it will reveal you not giving a fuck

I am an autist who doesn't want to offend anyone but also doesn't give a fuck about the social event.
Thanks for the vote of confidence in my communication skills.
