Hey everyone. I've never posted to this board but have been lurking for a little while now, which is probably why I'm so irritated with the invitation that FI received (more on that later)! I guess I've learned enough from this board to know when to be irritated. So here's the scoop:
FI's mom has been married and divorced twice. She was in her 2nd marriage when FI and I started dating (we've been together over 4 years now). Her then H has 2 kids, so FI's step siblings, and I obviously knew them and they knew me. They divorced 2-3ish years ago. Now FI's ex-step sister is getting married. Keep in mind that FI and her do not communicate much anymore, and FI's mom definitely hasn't talked to her since the split. So the invite for the wedding comes to FI's mom's house, addressed to mom & FI. Error #1 & 2. He doesn't live at home anymore, and even if he did, he's 23 years old. He should have his own invite. Error #3, I was not invited! Seriously? We have been together 4 years, and are now engaged. She knows me, and I am not invited? Error #4, registry info was in with the invitation. I know this is wrong, but having never actually been on the receiving end of this before, I couldn't understand how annoying it really is! Good lord, I found the whole thing irritating and comical and ridiculous. Needless to say, we are not going to the wedding.
Sorry for the semi-vent. FI doesn't really understand all my issues with the invite, so I had to share with someone that would get it!
