Is This Crazy? Ghetto Mess! (Long)
Ok, so the person I'm referring to in this story might actually lurk on here. I've never seen her post...but I really dont care.
One of the weddings hubby and I were invited to this year is for the daughter of a women who is like a grandma to me. We call her (the mom) "Nanna" and she watched my kids for years while I was gong to school and working. So the daughter (A), sent out her invites a little over a month ago for her 7/31 wedding. Last night I log on facebook and A's status is updated :"A is now engaged to _____ (NOT HER FI's NAME that's on the invitation!). So, hubby says- go on her page and look at his pic, maybe he just goes by a differnt name. He grabs the STD magnet off the fridge, we look at his pic on FB and it's a totally different dude! I call "Nanna" and she tells me that A broke up w/ FI on Memory Day weekend and caught up w/ her old flame on FB (her 1st love, the guy who took her virginity) and she is marrying him on the 31st. A apperntly announced this to the family last night and she thanked her family on FB for being supportive and undertstanding. "Nanna" is like everyone's saying it's a black soap opera. Now get this: original FI doesn't know that A is marrying someone else AND his family is very pissed at A because they had already paid for thier dresses (apparently some were IN the wedding party) and she cancelled the wedding (well...not really but they think the wedding is cancelled). I told DH I still want to go because I want to catch up w/ Nanna and everyone and honestly they always use this DJ from a NY radio station (that I love) and they always have good food at thier events. Am I wrong for even taking part in this mess?

DITTO!

GIRL!!! That is the 1st thing I said. Nanna said..." he's only visited the place once and he was drunk...it's in westchester and he doesn't know that area."
HELLO...there's Mapquest. She said they will have security at the hotel. I did feel bad for the guy but Nanna says he can't keep a job, quits after 2 weeks, A is paying for the entire wedding and he doesn't contribute (but A should have known how her FI was before she agreed to marry him). I do know that A does work her a$$ off and has a federal job. Apparently, she packed his bags and said she's had enough.
I think current FI might be a rebound. But then again, look at Khloe Kardashian...they're making it work after only dating 8-weeks and her mom Kris dated Bruce Jenner for like 6-weeks before they got married and they've been married almost 20-years so who's to say it won't work?
As for going or not going, girl you know you HAVE to go and come back with all the details (oh and catch up with Nana too
R.S.V.P Deadline April 30th!!! SMH!

One reassuring thing is that Nanna told me she truly feels that (current FI) is the right man for A and she does have good instincts about ppl.

LOL.
Please go and take your camcorder, definitely could be a new show on BET. I have never heard of someone even thinking of doing such a thing.
WOW!!! This is a hard one. Just like you saw that she is now engaged to someone new on her facebook page, can't the ex and his family see the same thing on her facebook page. What if they do show up to the wedding? Just be careful.

[QUOTE]Be careful, sit near the door or nearest exit. This sounds like a hot mess waiting to boil over. Just like Soaps reality involves bullets and knives. I would be pissed as the fiance to find out she's marrying someone else. First thing come to mind, she was messing around with him all along. Don't get caught inbetween a lovers quarl!

I agree that she may have been messing around with him all along. Just keep your eyes and ears open to anything suspicious that may be occurring.
