So I'm getting married in exactly 2 months. I've been planning the wedding for almost a year now. From the very beginning we have had to make it clear to everyone that we are having a very small wedding (35 people) with only immediate family and a couple of friends. For the last year, my grandma has tried to guilt me into inviting all my aunts and uncles and cousins. I have repeatedly told her that's not happening, explained why we're having a small wedding, and even in a moment of extreme frustration threatened to uninvite her if she didn't stop asking me about it.
So a couple weeks ago I found out that she gave my bridal shower information to my aunt and was planning on having her bring her to the shower even though my aunt wasn't invited to the shower or wedding. She was just going to show up with her. I put an end to that.
Today I found out that my grandma has been plotting with my aunts to give them the information for the ceremony and just have them come to the ceremony since I won't invite them on my own and they weren't going to come to the reception. So here's the really fun part, my ceremony is in the same location as my reception and everyone will just be sitting at their dinner tables for the ceremony so if they would have come they wouldn't have anywhere to sit and would have to be asked to leave immediately after the ceremony so we could start the reception.
I'm really just venting here, but I don't understand why people can't understand that not everyone gets to come to weddings and that they can't just do whatever they want and show up to private events knowing they weren't invited. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
