Of all the cotton pickin' nerve!!!!!!!!
Ok..so I need to vent to you ladies because I sooo cannot talk about this with my family. I am BEYOND aggravated, IIRITATED, ANNOYED...use whatever flippin adjective you like....
Tell me what you would do in this scenario:
You send out your STDs A YEAR in advance. Literally a year. EVERYONE knows about it and smiles all happy smurflike, including out-of-state relatives on my dad's side. Last night, I find out from my mom that my uncle in GA planned on having a family reunion (and its not a normal thing) on July 17, 2007-12 days before MY WEDDING!
Ok ok so maybe that sttatement sounds a bit divaish because hey, many things can happen in a year right? Ok so let's clarify... These relatives are cheap...CHEAP. Oh and did I mention....
C-H-E-A-P!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of them do NOT live in GA or even close which means they have to fly... and now since my uncle 'selflessly' moved the day to July 6th or something like that (weekend after July 4th) Ithe tickets are OBSCENELY priced. My dad's was 300 bucks. So I KNOW the relatives will come to my wedding BUT they will cry poverty..they always do but now they were hand fed a viable excuse.... Mind you. they are ROWDY-imagine every stereotype about Puerto Ricans who grew up in Harlem, times it by 100, and oh yea, the fact that the majority of them are alchoholics and we are having an open bar...Good times....
-sighs- Am I being too divaish over this? I know its three weeks before but they KNEW about the wedding and I just feel it is in such bad taste. Why couldnt they have held it after? (I'll tell you why because then i might have actually gotten a gift and they wouldnt have gone to his stupid reunion!) I almost want to revoke their invites to the wedding but it would hurt my dad so I can't. But I AM PISSED!
Not close AT ALL with that side of the family because they always snubbed me as a kid. I liked reading and wearing GAP clothes instead of sparkles everywhere and two toned frickin lipstick! (-snarls but is nice, really...-) so I was called 'snobby' and 'uppity'-you get the picture-no love lost.
Sorry...went on a tirade there. Should I just let it go and plaster a MS Universe smile and not mention it to anyone? Or should I secretly rub their invitations on my cats backside so it gains a certain elusive, je ne sais quoi, and THEN smile...
