My son is getting married at the end of April. Somewhere in mid-September, I asked (via e-mail, of the bride's Mom, who is running the show) a few basic questions-- what time of day (morning, evening, etc.), formal or informal, what type of rehearsal dinner they were thinking about, and whether I could do anything to help. The wedding is going to be about nine hours from where most of my family lives, so at the time, I was also trying to figure out logisitics-- how to get everyone there, for the cheapest price. What hotels we could use, etc.
To my amazement, this got completely twisted around as me obsessing over this wedding. "We'll tell you in January everything you need to know. Meantime, try to chill." That isn't a direct quote, but that was the idea. So I have chilled. I haven't said another word or asked a single question since then. This has not worked out well either, because
here we are, five months later, two months before the wedding, and guess what? I still have not been told ANYthing. I don't know what kind of dress to look for, what kind of rehearsal dinner to plan, where my husband and I can stay. I gave up, long ago, on figuring out how the rest of the family can get there.
Any advice? Ideas? Am I crazy, or is this very very rude??
