This is a very long story. lol
First I would like to say that my dad is the black sheep of the family. He has 14 children, while all of his brothers and sisters have only 2. My wedding is in August, but there are also two other weddings on my dad's side of the family this year.
My first cusion was married last night. My second cusion was getting married but is not anymore. ( My second cusion happens to be gay. Who knew?! haha) Both of my cusions got big bridal showers thrown by all of my aunts. It is three months into my engagment to my FI and there has been not mention of a bridal shower for me. So I assume they will not be throwing one for me. It hurts me that my grand mother can throw a shower for her gay neice but not her grand daughter.
The wedding last night was nice. However, my mother forgot to send back the RSVP. My dad called my aunt two days before the wedding to say we were coming. She said we were more than welcome to come to the wedding. The ceremony was lovely and everything went well.
The reception however was much worse. There was a big table in the middle of the room for my dad's family to sit at with the bride and groom. There was no place at the table for us. There was no room anywhere for us to sit. We ended sitting on a bench big enough for two. When the guests were served dinner we thought there would be forks at the end of the buffet line. Well there wasnt. My dad had to go to one of the staff members and ask for silverwear. The man said, " Well where is your table? Thats where they should be." The man offered to set up a table for us. But my dad didnt want to draw attention to himself. We tired to sit down at our little bench and eat, but you cant cut meat very well when are trying to cut it on your lap. They announced the bride and groom and we left after that.
What are you supposed to do when youre the uncle of the bride and you have no where to sit on the wedding reception. And the rest of the family is laughing eating dinner having a good time? I felt like my dad had been disrespected and hurt.
Now for my problem, all of these family members were on the guest list for my wedding. But after what happened last night I really dont want to invite them. My mother says I should be a good girl and still invite them anyway. What do yall think? I'm not really sure what to do.
