Ok, so my fiance has a best friend, Mickey, who lives across the street. We're inviting him, his parents, his brother and his niece to the wedding because both of us get along so well with the entire family.
Mickey has a cousin (Carolina) who used to kinda sorta date my fiance, years ago. I've met her a few times, and never had any problems with her. She seemed nice enough.
When we wrote up the guestlist, Carolina's name never even popped up. I think my fiance even considers her more of an acquaintance than a friend, and we even had to leave some closer friends of the list because there just wasn't space.
The other day, fiance calls me and says that his Mickey's mom (Diana) told him "My niece is confused because you didn't invite her to the wedding." Since I really like Diana, and I didn't want her to be offended, and her niece doesn't really bother me anyway, I said sure, we can invite Carolina.
The next day, we found out that Carolina had actually INSISTED that Diana ask us for an invitation (I thought she'd just mentioned to her aunt Diana that she was surprised not to get one or something.) THIS really pissed my fiance and me off.
Fiance saw Carolina today, and she actually said to his face she was pissed she didn't get an invitation before. He explained that he didn't want to invite her originally because they have a bit of a history and he didn't want it to be weird for me.
She's still coming anyway.
GAAAH!!
Sorry, just had to vent to somebody!!!
Now I totally understand why some brides go all Bridezilla. With multiple people inviting themselves to my wedding, I'm about to go over the edge.
