March 2012 Weddings

So irked (vent)

So I never thought sending out invitations would bring so much stress on a person!

Here is where it started, I invited my Aunt D to please my Grandmother. Aunt D is my Mom's sister and they do not get along at all! My Grandmother who has always been so good to me (going above and beyond for me whenever possible), she will be 90 this weekend and I figured that I could do this for her.

So invites are out and I didn't invite my Aunt's sons that also live locally. She went as far to tell my Grandmother that she would be more comfortable at the wedding if her sons were there. Ok, maybe I should have invited them to start with, but I didn't since I don't have anything to do with them any other times. But in order to keep peace I now going to invite them.

What gets me is why, is the rest of my family so worried about upsetting people we don't normally have anything to do with anyway! I am sure I sound a little bratty about this but I didn't want to invite any of them to start with, everywhere they go drama follows and that the last thing I want at the wedding. But alas I am doing this for my Grandmother and no one else!

Thanks for listening ladies I just had to get that out!

Re: So irked (vent)

  • Oh, I totally feel your pain. I'm inviting a woman and her husband that MY SISTER was friends with as a child. All because her parents and her sister were invited to the wdding and they thought she'd feel left out. She's a grown woman with her own family who I have not spoken to in any way, shape, or form in at least 15 years. Oh well...

    Still here and still fabulous!

  • Oh yes...I have several family members that I was hoping would not come. My mom has 5 brothers and sisters and all their kids and grandkids (main reason for DW) and I had to invite EVERYONE! I also invited all of her cousins in NY as well because I see them every few years when I go to New York. The good thing is that most of them won't come, but there are a few family members here that are going..and I wish they wouldn't! I understand your vent very well so vent away! :)
