A sorta vent (kinda long)..and question about what I should do?
So on Saturday I went to my cousin's baby shower. Got to see a lot of family which was cool, since it was the first time I got to see them since I got engaged.
Anyhoo, my dad's other cousin, who he was very very close to growing up, as they have gotten older, not as close, but we all still see each other at family things, and some holidays, not annually but still enough to say they are def NOT distant.
SO here is my beef, last month this same cousin's son got married, and we heard through the grapevine, the wedding is small, and yada yada (we were told less than 100), that's why my parents were NOT invited. But meanwhile a cousin no one EVER SEES, was! For me personally, I don't mind not being invited, I am friendly with her son, but not close at all, growing up I hardly ever saw him or his brother, it wasn't until we were older that we got to know each other. But I do feel my parents should have been invited, they even invited my aunt, who lives in Arizona and were pretty sure wouldn't come (they atleast extended her the invite, but not my parents![]()
)
Come to find out, they had it in the largest room at the hall, and had 150 people, it was not a small wedding at all!
So here is my question, my dad feels we should be the 'bigger' people and invite them, I say screw that! No way! What would you do?
It's interesting, if I could just invite her husband who I ADORE!, he is the sweetest man, I would but that would be RUDE, so it's either invite them or not invite them.
It was interesting, when I asked the cousin about the wedding, she couldn't even look me in the face..
