Rude? Or Romantic? We can't decide.

Rude? Or Romantic? We can’t decide. 

Anyone who was hoping for an *NSYNC reunion at Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s 2012 wedding was sorely disappointed.

However, the lads themselves were apparently totally cool with not getting an invite to the couple’s big day, with Lance Bass describing the decision as “romantic”.

Speaking on Khloe Kardashian’s show Kocktails with Khloe, Lance described the reasoning behind the so-called snub.

He explained:

“Everyone always asks that. And here’s the real answer – no. We were not. And a lot of people are like, ‘That is so rude,’ but if you think of it this way, you’ll understand why we didn’t go.

“When we get together, the five of us, it is, it’s a spectacle. I mean, we rarely are all five together. You know, four of us will be together, three of us, but all five, people go nuts and it’s all about *NSYNC and it’s just taking picture after picture and, you know, he wanted that wedding to be about Jessica, you know, and he didn’t want it to be an *NSYNC reunion.

They were, however, invited to the engagement party, where they had a whale of a time.

“You know, we had the engagement party and all that, so that was, you know, lots of fun. But yeah, I mean, I totally understand and I respect that and I think it’s kind of romantic to make it all about her, for that day. It was very thoughtful.”

Okay, we’ll allow it. But it still doesn’t explain why WE weren’t invited. Hmph.
