Wedding Woes

Guess the cat's out of the bag... (rant)

I'm a college student, and my FI and I live about 45 minutes from our hometown. Between my full time school schedule, my three jobs and wedding planning it's very rare that I get the chance to go home. But I was there this last weekened and I went to visit my grandfather, who I am very close to. (He has an aggressive form of cancer that he is no longer recieving treatment for. Our wedding is on his birthday. He sees this as an honor.) And out of no where he asks who will be walking me down the aisle (my father will be officiating) because my "aunt" said that it will be him.

I immeadiately confirmed this, but then quickly got angry. I had plans to ask him at an upcoming dinner (he was already wearing a tux to the wedding so it's not like he needed to know super in advance), and for it to be a special moment for us. My "aunt" hasn't spoken to me ONCE about the wedding, hasn't asked me a single thing (though she's had plenty of time and opportunity to ask my parents and grandparents).  I feel like she ruined a special moment for my grandfather and I and it just makes me so angry. This woman barely knows me and has gone out of her way to make life more difficult for my family since my grandfather's diagnosis. I strongly, very very strongly, dislike this woman right now. I wish I could uninvite her. Offended uncle or not I don't want to see her face on my wedding day.

  • Yeah, I've got some aunts like that too, that like to chat, and sometimes say too much.  I hope that she didn't do it maliciously (as in tell him herself so she can see how he reacts and have the special moment that you were expecting), but while I understand your being a bit peeved, like PP said, I'd just let it go.
