His brother is getting married in August and it looks like he wants to go to his brother's wedding by himself. I am very hurt by this and take offence to it. Am I reading too much into this?confused.

 Definetly sit down and chat with him about it. He may just think you don't want to go or something silly like that. You may find showing an interest in going he may change his mind about going alone and invite you along

This does not have to be a confrontation but as the other half of this relationship, you have a right to know. There could be a good reason but usually after being with a fellow for 15 months, I do feel you should have been invited as his escort. This is usually the norm. So have that chat and I wish you the best.

 Don't be hurt - there maybe lots of innocent explanations. He hasn't refused to take you but just hasn't invited you - he may think you don't want to go to a family wedding or perhaps the bride to be has imposed some rules on the wedding guests...you know how weddings bring out the worst in people! Just talk to him.

 Have you asked him why?
Maybe the wedding is a really small affair and it is only going to be a handful of people there, maybe he thinks you wouldn't be interested in going, maybe the wedding is going to be really small because the bride and groom can't afford a big do and can't have everyone there, maybe the bride is being picky in who is invited and your boyfriend has had no say in who is invited and who isn't, maybe there is a no guest option on the invite....
What I'm saying is that before you get too upset about it, ask him and find out why. Maybe there is a really simple explanation that is out of the control of your boyfriend.
