My aunt and I had a falling out about a year ago. She has stopped talking to me simply because
we had a difference of opinion about a cat of all things. She also has repeatedly told my mother and
her cousin (her daughter) that she does not like my fiancé who she had avoided
at all family functions and never made an effort to get to know. I invited her to my son’s birthday party, she
attended and only spoke to me when I asked her a direct question. I feel she is being childish and that all of
this comes from her feeling “not needed” because she use to watch my son after
school but now my fiancé takes care of
him. I had decided after the birthday party
that I was not going to invite my aunt to my wedding (we are having a small,
casual affair) and my mother supported my decision. However, now my cousin (maid of honor) is
moving back in with her mother and I don’t want her to get caught in the
middle. Should I bite the bullet and
invite my aunt knowing she will either pout or make an butt of herself just to
keep her wrath off of my cousin?
