New to these boards. Newly engaged and excited to be getting married (again). In an age of Facebook and text messages (believe me, everyone got a text the day he proposed), how long do you think a family *not* congradulating the couple is just plain rude and maybe I should just get the hint that the ARE NOT gonna congradulate us at all. It's been 5 days and not a single mother, father, step-family member, aunt, uncle or cousin. His family has welcomed me to the family, called and gushed over us.
For the purpose of background. I divorced three years ago, from a man my family (especially my mother) loved. They still call him and invite him and his new fiancee to family events. They congradulated my ex and his fiancee when they FB announced thier engagement. I am terribly hurt and am wondering if I should continue my sorrow by sending them invitations to the wedding. This is second wedding for both my fiance and I, so we want a small and intimate celebration. Only the people we want and matter. Any advice? Should I just accept what is obviously how they feel?
