We just got an email from a family member, whose grandchild we invited to be our flowergirl. Our goal was to invite one child from FI's side, one child from my side. But family member says another of her grandchildren, a cousin, is jealous that she's not in the wedding. Can't we find space for her?
This is FI's side of the family and FI's parents are paying for a big chunk of the wedding, while mine contribute none. So part of me feels like I'm obligated to let this other child in. But if we let her in, there's another cousin in that family that will then have to be included. And then it becomes an issue because my family only has one child included.
Of course, its' been almost two weeks and my family hasn't confirmed our ring bearer. So if they say no we'll have to use FI's ring bearer, and then if we include two we'll have to include them all and my family won't have any children in the wedding.
Which is their choice but it ... kinda hurts.
Also I'm having guilt about FI's side - can't we just fine space for her? UGH.
