Just had to laugh

in Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul
FI and I live together, which if our guest didn't already know that, I'm sure they figured it out from the return address label. So yesterday we got an RSVP card back from some estranged family friends (haven't seen them in years, but my sister invited them to her wedding so mom thought we should invite them too). They declined with sadness (crossed out regret) and then went on to write that they "will not travel or send a gift for a marriage of sin. Unless you repent and move apart before your wedding, you will also not have our blessing". Had this come from someone we were close to, I know I would've been hurt by it, but since these people mean nothing to us, I had to laugh. Good thing they didn't know that FI was technically still married when we started dating (his ex dragged out their divorce for over two years), otherwise I'm sure there would've been an extra page of writing to go with it. I find it funny too how our Catholic Church has no issue marrying us, although I realize that's not the case with all Catholic Churches. It was also funny that the other RSVP's that we got back yesterday said "can't wait!" "so excited!", and "wouldn't miss it!". I have no problem that they're missing it!

Anyone else get crazy RSVP's back?

    Wow, that's just nuts! Goes to show that weddings bring out all sorts of emotions out of people.

    We had someone cross out her husband very aggressively, H told me later that he died right before the invites went out. No.one.told.me! I felt like a major ass.

    We had another couple RSVP yes but told us if the weather was nice they were going to stay at the cabin. I love being a back up plan. Needless to say, the weather was gorgeous and they never showed.

    Yikes. I'd be happy to keep them far from the wedding if they are like that, so I guess no loss for you. :)

    That is downright certificable. What a crazy person. I actually have a couple of family members who are not coming to the wedding because they don't approve of us getting married outside the Catholic Church, but they haven't said it directly to me. That takes serious cajones.

    Oh geeze!  It's probably good they're not coming.  You wouldn't want to deal with their drama on the day.

    And really, wouldn't getting married "fix" this "issue" they're having with your relationship?  Would they rather you just kept living together without getting married?  Some people don't fully think through their opinions.

    Teehee - I hope that someday you get to reply that you won't be attending some event because you don't socialize with judgemental idiots.
