Indianapolis woman tells lady she exchanges memes with that she isn’t invited to her wedding then several conversations later, she is blocked
Marriage preparations are almost always challenging unless there’s some magic involved, and I say that as someone who has never been married but has definitely attended plenty of marriage ceremonies and observed what happens behind the scenes. One of the first tough decisions couples face when planning a wedding is who they want to invite. While that choice is already difficult, it becomes even more complicated when there’s a limit on the number of guests each side can invite.
TikTok user @salmayourlawyerbigsis faced a similar situation when she was getting married. An individual she used to share memes with on social media and chat with occasionally, although they hadn’t met since 2019, was upset that Salma didn’t invite her to her wedding, despite having invited Salma to her own wedding several years earlier when their relationship was closer than it is now.
TikTok user @salmayourlawyerbigsis discusses getting blocked
TikTok user @salmayourlawyerbigsis posted a video four days ago, where she mentioned being blocked by a woman she used to talk to on social media. The reason was that she wasn’t invited to her wedding. Based on her tone and choice of words to describe the incident and the woman’s reaction, it seemed that Salma feels she did nothing wrong.
She started by explaining that the woman, who got upset when Salma told her she wouldn’t be invited to her wedding, did actually invite her to her wedding 11 years ago. Salma also said that back then, their relationship was stronger, but now it’s not the same because they haven’t seen each other since 2019. According to Salma, most of their interactions have been just sharing memes and sometimes talking about Taylor Swift news. Besides that, she noted, there’s been no meaningful contact, no phone calls or hangouts.
Salma said her friend (not sure if she would like to call her that) saw her social media post about her engagement and messaged her, congratulating her. After that, they exchanged some polite words. Not long after, the woman asked which weekend Salma was getting married, hoping to try and “beat” the rising gas prices, which also caused airfare to go up. Salma responded respectfully, explaining that she didn’t have enough space at the wedding and wasn’t sure if she and her fiancé could meet their guest limit since they could only invite 200 people. Following this, the woman messaged Salma, expressing confusion about “etiquette,” reminding her that she had been invited to her wedding, and claiming she hadn’t realized their friendship had fallen apart so much. When Salma finally decided to reply, she found out she was blocked on Instagram and TikTok.
TikTok user @salmayourlawyerbigsis uploaded another video clarifying her stance
After facing significant backlash in the comments section of her video from four days ago, where most believed that @salmayourlawyerbigsis was in the wrong and her “friend” was justified in blocking her, she turned off the comments on all her posts and uploaded another video three days later in which she discussed how she might have handled the situation differently. Nonetheless, she remained firm on her decision, asserting that it was justified to set clear boundaries about the people she wanted to invite to her wedding.
Salma mentioned that, in the case of Arab and South Asian families (I assume she falls into one or both of these categories), it’s common to have many guests at the wedding. She also stated that she has a good relationship with her family members, and her would-be husband does as well, meaning many people from both sides have already been invited. This makes it difficult for her to accommodate additional guests. Regarding her social media friend who was upset about not being invited to Salma’s wedding, Salma said she would prefer to invite people who are closer to her rather than someone with whom her relationship is just based on sharing memes.
Marriage and divorce trends among people these days
According to an article published by Barna on November 12, 2025:
- Fewer adults are married today, but many still aspire to marry someday. According to Barna, just under half of U.S. adults are married now (46%), a decrease from two-thirds in 1950, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau. Most unmarried adults, however, still hope to marry in the future.
- Divorce rates remain relatively stable, with remarriages being common. An estimate shows that one in six adults has been divorced, and over half of those have remarried.
- Gen Z believes in and values the institution of marriage, but they are reevaluating the meaning of family. Most people (81%) believe in marriage and want to marry someday, but they are reconsidering what family and commitment mean in modern life.
