August 2012 Weddings

Update of My Family Drama

A couple weeks ago I posted that I was feeling guilty over the decision not to invite my father's whole side of the family to the wedding. Here is a brief recap of my post:

My grandmother was not doing well and I was really nervous about going to the funeral and having to explain to my whole family that they wouldn't be invited. My father hasn't been a part of my life growing up or since and I've only had contact with a very select few people during this time (mostly my cousin and an aunt).

My grandmother's funeral was this past week and I was able to have a conversation with my cousin about not thinking I'd be able to invite her or anyone in the family. She was hurt, but I think she understood. I made a point not to bring up the wedding, but it was tough since everyone kept asking about it. It went better than I thought it would and I stuck to my plan. Thanks for all the support! You gals are the best.
