I’m a Bridesmaid and my SO is not invited...

So I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a good friend's wedding about 8 months ago. At that time, they were only together for 6 months, so the whole wedding process has been kind of rushed, which I want to understand. At the time she asked me, she told me my boyfriend would not be invited to the ceremony and dinner, but he could come to drink and party for that part of the wedding. The reason being that she wanted to keep the ceremony and dinner as small as possible. She told me I was the only bridesmaid in the wedding with a SO, so I accepted it. But, I met all the bridesmaids at the bridal shower a month or so ago, and one is actually engaged. Fast forward to now, the wedding is this Saturday, and I just found out that the other bridesmaid's fiancé is in-fact invited. To be honest, I’m really hurt. Just because my boyfriend and I aren't engaged, that means he doesn't get to come? What's more frustrating is that I've been with my boyfriend longer than the bride and groom have been together, and I just feel like she is saying my relationship is not important just because we haven't decided to get married soon. I’m obviously finding this out days before the wedding, so I’m not going to say anything because I know the bride is already stressed. Any advice or just kind words would be appreciated. I've spent so much money and time on her wedding at a time in my life where I didn't have much of either so I’m just really disappointed :(
