Impossible family

I guess I just need to vent so my apologies for the vent.  The only family I have close is a second cousin, her husband, her daughter , now 35 and her son 5.  We used to be close but have drifted recently. Well last night I get a text fromthe 35 yr old syaing she won't do my daughter's makeup for her bridal portrait because we hurt her feelings.  My daughter and her fiance decided to have fiance's nephew as ringbearer and not her son.  A few choice texts were sent and she said some really mean things, all because her son is not in the wedding.  And the kick is she is engaged so her son will be in her own wedding.  The mother is supposed to be our mistress of ceremonies but now I'm just waiting for her to bail because she is one of those moms that her daughter can do no wrong, even though she has done big wrongs.  I just feel sorry for my daughter that this is putting a damper on her wedding plans.  I'm trying to  let her know it's no big deal, but it really is to me.  Thanks for listening.

  • a mistress of ceremonies in our family is just someone like a wedding coordinator on the day of the wedding but you don't get paid.  She was just going to help get people lined up at the church, make sure everything was set at the reception.    I keep telling myself over and over, that if they were true "family", they would be supporting my dd no matter what.
  • I'm really sorry you're dealing with all this.  People need to not assume that they or their children will be in a wedding until they're asked. FI's nephew is a closer relative than your second cousin's son. Aye. Good luck! I think the mistress of ceremonies the female version of a master of ceremonies...
  • Good God why do people act so childish when it comes to not having their precious off spring in your wedding. Just let them act that way and go on with what you planned. Your daughter and her FI should not explain who and why they choose who they did for any role in your wedding. I would just go with another person to do your daughters makeup and keep her has far away from this stupid inmature drama.
  • Ha.  Stage, I just realized how lame my definition was.  Alexia FAIL. Forgive me?
