Blood Family. This is a big issue I've been really struggling with and I need some help.
Long story short, I was raised by my mother's parents since I was a baby. They have both now passed. When my grandmother left us, that was the final crack that shattered the family. My biological mother, aunts and uncle fighting, my grandparents stuff being sold or donated without asking any of the grandchildren. The sad part is that our mothers pit us (cousins) against each other. I personally have stayed away from the drama.
My issue is do I invite or not invite these people to my wedding? I try to think about if these people will be in my life thirty years from now. My fiance and I can only afford a small wedding. We can't afford a destination wedding. Any suggestions? Thank you for taking the time to read.
