Criminals in the family

Fairyjen1

    I had a small, immediate family wedding, so I didn't have to deal with this. If I had done a larger one, one of my cousin's wouldn't have been invited. He's a druggie who has been known to steal things at family gatherings. I wouldn't want any of my guests to be his next victims so he wouldn't of been invited even though his siblings would have (everyone is well over 18 so I'm not splitting families) His mother, my aunt, would be dissapointed, but she understands and he's often not invited places. The consequences of stealing things from peoples purses is that people don't want you around. 

   He's not dangerous though, and he's not the SO of anyone I really want there so I didn't have that dilemma. I think the only way you can include only one half of a couple is if the person has physically harmed or threatened to harm you or any of your guests.
