I just need to vent...comments are welcome! Here's the situation...we are having a small intimate wedding four hours away from our hometown. We have 38 seat available at the wedding. I have people asking me about the wedding and basically assuming that they are invited. These people are mainly my extended family (cousins) that I am not close to and my parents friends. When I kindly tell them we are having a small family wedding in North Carolina, they seem to be offended, annoyed etc. I don't know how else to word it any nicer. I would love just to say "You're not invited. Get over it!" I just want to scream. This is the only thing that I have really stressed about. I just don't understand why they get so mad. One cousin emailed my mother and said she heard I was getting married and wanted to know when because they were planning their vacation around my wedding. My mom emailed back and explained the situation and said that if they were interested we would let them know as soon as possible about the availability. She emailed back, "Oh no don't go to that trouble". And that's all it said. Maybe I am reading it with the wrong tone. But if that email had came to me I would have said, It's not a problem don't worry about it. I wish them well. etc. And I would have never invited myself in the first place. Also, grooms mom is mad because we aren't inviting her friends...that I've never met by the way. Why do other people cause so much stress on the couple getting married.
If you took time to read this thanks! I just wish we would have eloped!
