I am going to try to make this as short as possible. My FI and I have been together for 5 years and engaged 2 years and have had our wedding date for a 1 yr and a 1/2. Over the years I have had my ups and downs with his family but his one aunt has always stuck by my side and help me through it. Her nine year old daughter is in our wedding. I thought nothing of it when we asked her and did not realize the long road I was about to endure.
This aunt has done nothing but cause unnecessary drama. She complains about every decision I make involving her daughter, usually how she can't afford something, but on facebook she has enough money to go to six flags, baseball games, purse parties,etc. She knows that my MIL and I have had a rocky relationship and she will call and get her involved in the nonsense causing an argument between my MIL and I. For a while I would just let things go because we had so much time until the wedding. Recently, however, I have been putting my foot down because the wedding is a month away.
The straw that broke my back... My mother is throwing the shower on my side. My FI aunts, uncles, and mom are throwing it on his. This particular drama filled aunt insisted on being in charge of the group. She has done nothing but drag her feet with everything. I am trying to be grateful but I am upset for my FI. Today the guest received the shower invitations all my friends, family, and bridesmaids started texting me like crazy. She spelled my name wrong!!!! Marrisa it's spelled Marissa. Now I know this could be a careless over sight and I should just laugh it off but I just can't. To make matters worse The picture they used for the invitations she took off of facebook where my name is spelled. I am pissed, upset, hurt, everything under the sun and I am tired of being the bigger person for my wedding. My FI is upset but he's a guy. He thinks we should just response to her apology text with "it's ok". I want her to know how upset I am.
I'm sorry this is more of a vent then a question. Just needing someone to be on my side.
