Holy awkward

At a funeral this weekend and at the after party my FMIL calls me over and introduces me to some cousin of a cousin. Cousin imedialtey starts in on me how she gave a gift for my shower and never got a wedding invite. I was confused, there are a few people on FI's side that I don't know so I couldn't say for sure what was true.

Luckily, my nephew bean dipped for me. He started crying so I ran off to care for him and then avoided her for the rest of the night. My FMIL apologized for the whole situation. 

Suddenly, I remember this lady. I specifically did NOT want her invited because she showed up her pajamas with no bra to the last family wedding with like 9 random people, got puke drunk and tried to steal centerpieces halfway through the night. Her nasty husband kept trying to put his arms around us bridemaids for hugs. I was so embarrassed until I realized who she was. Now I'm like, meh fuck you.

So I go home and check all my notes and guest list, and she never sent us anything, was not invited to any sort of wedding related event and was just trying to get an invite? Since we have met her once and it was at this other wedding, I'm pretty sure she just wants free booze and a free meal. Apparently she yelled at my mom to make sure she gets an invite as my mom was leaving the party. 

This cousin got trashed at the funeral afterparty. I mean our circle is all about celebrating life after burial but there is a line and she crossed it. 

Yuck.

Re: Holy awkward

  • Why are people so crazy? I would pay for her to have a meal and unlimited booze....somewhere else. As in, I would pay her NOT to be there by giving her a $100 and an uber fare for Applebee's if she promised not to crash.

    It's amazing how many people in this world have no idea how much they suck.


  • Ick. And I thought my cousins were bad.

    I have like 9 if anyone is short
    hahaha, I have cousins I refused to invite to my wedding because one of them beat the crap out of my aunt (her MIL) in front of her 9 year old daughter for not letting her smoke pot in their house.

  • WTF?

    I come a stereotypical Irish-Catholic family.    We are the reason stereo-types exist.    We are the same.  Celebrate life not death.   Between my g-ma's death on Thursday and her funeral on Tuesday there were a lot of kegs tapped.   The reception after the cemetery.  Yeah, there was a lot of booze flowing.  No puking though.


    Anyway, we might drink at our funerals, but we follow etiquette. And that includes not asking for an invite.   

    Cousin is talking crazy.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • Wow she sounds as fun a room full of hammered monkies flinging poo, are you SURE you don't want to invite her? She could be the halftime entertainment.

    I also have my share of awkward drunk family members, so keep yours please.

  • It sounds like this cousin knows all about the wedding details.  Is there a plan in place just in case she shows up?  Especially if she shows up with her entourage of 9 people!

    Yeah one of my many large brothers can turn her ass right out.

    Or she can stand in the corner while we all enjoy our meal! I don't have an extra seat for her. I'm basically at my limit as it is.

  • This is why I'm so glad I won't be living anywhere near my extended family when I (hypothetically) get married. One drunk aunt nearly ran through the processional at my cousin's wedding last summer because she was late but she wanted to get to her seat, dammit!
  • She sounds horrific! I am loving the image of her braless in PJs, puking her way to infamy, though.

    This baby knows exactly how I feel
  • So weird and awkward. I will never understand people like this. Although that story about puking in PJs is pretty epic. Good one for the grandkids.

  • Yikes.

    Family members similar to that crazy lady are the exact reason why I could never get married anywhere within a few hour drive from my hometown.
  • She's nuts. Like, no, if I saw you in your pjs at another family wedding absolutely smashed, no fucking way. I wouldn't invite my own mother if she acted like that.

    There's a family friend I'm not inviting because the last time I saw her she was at a dinner party rolling around drunk on a couch. What is wrong with people?
