Can you belive this...
FH just called me and is irate. My mother is throwing us an engagement party this Saturday. Mom, John and I went shopping and have everything ready to go. So on to the drama.
FH's dad calls and says he would like to invite FH's cousin. So FH call's me and asks what I think. We are having the party at my sister's- outside. I say no problem if it is outside he can come but if it is raining and therefor inside it is difficult (cousin has recently become a parapallegic and the house is a split ranch). I told FH to call said cousin and invite him but let him know the set-up.
Now FFIL wants to know if we are inviting the rest of the family. Now uncle and said cousin do not speak since the accident. Said cousin's wife and Aunt have had physical altercations and are not allowed at the same party. In addition there is a sister to cousin who is being left out but has not spoken to said aunt (who is a raging alcoholic) since her wedding last year.
FH is so upset because aside from this group his family is totally normal and my family is like the a very sarcasic partridge family. He doesn't know what to do b/c FFIL didn't want these people invited when we sent invites over a month ago but now 2 day before the party he wants everyone there.
Can you believe this? Personally I feel it is a bit comical but it is upsetting FH because he is embarrassed to have this group at the get to know each other party.
Any Advise?
