Overview
- On Nov. 18, Hudson told The Drew Barrymore Show he asked his then‑fiancée to invite her friends but not their husbands to their small 2006 Mexico wedding.
- He said he wanted to avoid meeting unfamiliar people at his own wedding because he considers himself private.
- Hudson recounted that the wives joined the multi‑day festivities while their husbands traveled to Mexico but stayed away from the wedding events.
- The ceremony on June 9, 2006 included roughly 90–94 guests and family members such as Kate Hudson, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.
- Online reaction ranged from calling the rule rude to defending a guest‑limited ceremony, and etiquette expert Elaine Swann labeled the approach self‑centered and said guests could reasonably decline.
