Carlos and Davina – thank you both for your considerate advice. I cut off contact with my friend more than two years ago and the lack of contact since then has been organic and has felt like the right thing. However, I am getting married in three months and it has put me at a crossroad. It tears me apart that she will not be there, an absence that would have been inconceivable to me in the past. I want to make sure that I am making the right decision. Thank you both for your feedback. It has helped clarify the issue.

Kind regards,
