I would feel as you do, and would be very offended and constantly suspect the reason, to the extent of speculating various reasons and feeling genuinely wronged by each and every one. Which, when it comes down to it, is truly all speculation. I think my point is, let it go or harbor resentment. It sounds easier than it is.
But also, weddings are overrated and insufferable celebrations of patriarchy. Your friend may be doing you a favor.
They should just have a separate ceremony for friends in Oregon.
Ultimately, will you really get to spend that much time with the friend anyway? They'll be dealing with wedding stuff or honeymooning the whole time. Wait and buy your plane ticket for a later time, when there are less people and far less stress.
