Please weigh in!
I sent a STD to a friend & his fiancee to my wedding, which is in June. He has recently started a new career as a wedding photog. We aren't super close (in fact, I've never met her), but they were very close to my BM, Annie, & I decided that I wanted them there.
Well, Annie got married in Dec in Baltimore; I was looking forward to seeing my friend & meeting his fiancee. Turns out that he called Annie the day before the wedding to tell her that, due to snowstorms in OK (where they were), they couldn't get a flight out in time. She checked the weather report...guess what? There was no storm. They decided to back out b/c he was 'so offended that he hadn't been asked to photograph the wedding' (this was the first she'd heard of it). Annie had a HUGE wedding, & wanted a photog who had experience with large crowds (he does not). So, her parents ended up paying for two extra dinners.
Now I have no desire to invite these two to my wedding. I have no idea if he'd pull something like that twice, but I still think they're awful. Needless to say, my BM has no wish to see them, either. BUT, I've already sent out my STD's, & he's recieved his.
SO...do you think it's too late to back out of inviting them???
