I am getting married in my hometown, which just happens to be 3,000 miles from where I live now. I get in on Tuesday night, wedding is on Saturday.
My sister is adamant that there be a shower. Seriously has sent me upwards of 10 messages about it, and even wrote it on the RSVP card. I have deflected her to my MOH each time, but she keeps coming back to me instead.
But...I don't really want one. I think it's tacky to be like "here I am, give me a present. Oh, and also give me a present on Saturday." I know that's not how it really is, but it's how I feel it will look like. My MOH knows how I feel and supports whatever I decide.
But my sister doesn't get it. She thinks that because I don't want a shower and because I don't talk about all my wedding details on Facebook, that I must not be excited about getting married. I've tried to explain that half the people on FB aren't even invited, but I just can't get the no shower concept past her.
Should I just have the dang shower and suffer through it? Or stand my ground?
