with stuff like that - i deal with my family and Anthony deals with HIS family.
So hypothetically: I would ask your FH If he thinks it would be nice for you to go to the shower, then I would go and give a $50 gift off the registry. It will look good to his family if you show up - and brownie points are always a plus.
As for the wedding, it is still his cousin so I think I would still go!

I guess go to the shower just to show your face to his family there
maybe like $100-150
same as above answer...go bc its a family thing and you're part of his family now

Yikes! She needs to get off her high horse. If you really intended on going then go. I would tell your FILs that you had no clue what was going on, I'm sure they didn't know either. Spend what you want to spend and can afford.

Oh man. I'd be so annoyed. What a PITA.
Ok, I would go to EVERYTHING with a HUGE AZZ SMILE. Is there someone going that you can hang out with at the shower? I'd plop myself next to them and enjoy the shower with them.
Get her something off her registry.
I say take the high road. Especially if you and FMIL are not on the best terms. This would give her anything reason to have her pantyhose in an uproar, ya know?

does his family like her? if not then dont worry about the shower, not like they'd hold it against you...Or you can always send a gift but not go
you should tell his cousin to make up his mind lol...he shouldn't be getting married if he doesn't want to

Re: ? for all u girls. a lil long
I would go...and buy something for her that's a little biting- like a nutcracker or knives or something...a nice gift to show you have class but can be a little 'tounge-in-cheek' too...or you could always be a real dillhole and give her something like this....which is probably what I would do...

OK, I was sort of in your situation this past spring although it wasn't a pissed off cousin, it was very good friends who called off the wedding and then decided to go thru with it anyway.
I'd go, because it's the right thing to do and the last thing you want to do is look like the biatch.
I wouldn't spend more than $75-$100 on the shower gift. Get something nice off the registry or go in on a gift with FMIL or someone else to maybe cut costs.
YES! You go to the wedding... again, it's the right thing to do esp. because it's family. And you don't want anyone to be able to hold anything against you come your wedding day or ever and if you don't go, that's a lot of ammo that they have against you.
