My mom, my aunt and my crazy ass cousin have been a constant source of annoyance. I'm sure you guys all remember the ongoing nonsense with my cousin. Honestly, her mom is not much better. Both my aunt and my cousin have tried inviting themselves to the events the day before.
Friday we're going rock climbing and then rappelling. The only reason my aunt knew about this is because she's a pro photographer and she recommended the photographer we're using. They're friends. Our photographer is coming with us on Friday to take pictures of us climbing.
Aunt asked if she could come.
Cousin asked if she could come.
Honestly, having people come climbing that have never climbed before is not something we're really down to do. And where we go climbing (The Gunks in NY, for anyone local), doesn't really have a ton of room for people to hang out. There's trails below, but it's not a large area, you know.
I very politely told my aunt and cousin that it would just be me and FI climbing.
I guess my aunt wasn't happy with that. She called my mom. I've asked my mom ONE MILLION TIMES to not tell my aunt or cousin anything, because they cause problems. But, my mom does what she wants.
So my mom says to my aunt, "No, it's just Renae and Bobby climbing. No one else!"
And then my aunt calls my photographer and says, "Oh, all the events are private on Friday, so I guess you're not shooting them climbing."
And then my photographer emails me asking what's going on.
My cousin is now asking again if she can come to the rehearsal dinner. I don't know why she wants to come. It's just us, our parents and my MOH and BM. That's it.
