Question (vent kind-of) on RD guests long
HUMMM,
Background: Since our wedding is out of town for all of our guests we had orginally planned on a small very casual dinner for all the guests the night before the wedding.
FMIL really wanted to host a RD for the 'immediate family' and wedding party the night before the wedding. It was important to her so we said okay.
Now one of my Aunts how is doing a reading for the wedding ceremony does not want to attend to RD unless her sister, another aunt, is able to come. FH has a huge with several aunts and uncles and they will not be attending the RD only the ones in the wedding party.
Now I'm stuck between making my aunts happy and not imposing on my FMIL, who is doing so much for the wedding already.
I just feel bad that my aunt made me feel bad about my wedding. Yes, people are having to travel, but so are we, we live in CA and all of our family on the east coast, including these aunts. We tried to accommidate both of our families by having it back east. Plus this is the nicest wedding any of my side of the family has 'ever' had. In the south receptions are often just cake, nuts, and punch. We are paying for the wedding all on our own except for the RD and florist which FMIL is covering.
My aunt wasn't demanding that the other be invited, but it made me feel bad that she would not come without her![]()
Thanks for letting me vent a bit.....
