UPDATE: Major Bridezilla Attack pending if this doesn't get resolved soon!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here is the update...

I spoke to my aunt a few days ago and although I had a minor anxiety attack ahead of time, it went surprisingly well. i think because I caught her at the aiport at the time, she didn't have room to yell. however, the first words out of ehr mouth after our intial polite words was 'I got your invite and my son is coming.' there was emphasis placed on the 'my son.' I calmly said my rehearsed lines, stressing that we had had to cut out several people among our friends, not jsust our family sue to the small budget and she was silent for a long moment before she said, 'no problem. I'll tell my son.' Again emphasis on the son.

I felt horrible because I am a very sensitive person which is why I hide behind a razor wit and she was being so calm about it I almost burst out telling her it was ok to bring him. But then I remembered all the years they snubebd me and my mom and how I was not invited to their wedding and I smiled and said,' Thank for being understanding, Titi. See you at the wedding. Love you.' She said the same and we hung up.

Now... I spoke to my dad and he said he's just waiting for the call because we know there must be buzzing behind the scenes. He said there is the possibility of them saying they are coming and not coming, but we are planning a plan B-to enlist my Uncle Nelson's help. He is the youngest of the clan and lives with my aunt and has nNO qualms about calling her out. We know even if the others do not come, he will because he reserved before the STd was sent out lol.

So right now I feel a little better though still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Lots of worries including damn witch at the post office who didnt wnat to take my invites that day to drop em into the bucket(wanted me topush em through the slot and they were bending.) Anyway after some arguing, she took them but now, I've had about 10 people tell me they never got one and we've only recieved 20 responses out of 70 invites sent so we're worried. if its not one damn thing its another!

Oh boy, I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. People can be so rude! We had a few uninvited guests invite themselves to our wedding too. It's very frustrating. Stick to your guns and don't let these rude people take over your wedding.

first of all, you're HYSTERICAL! That just cracked me up
Secondly, I'd love to see how this turns out.

ETA: I should mention the family of FH's we had issue with never RSVPed or called us for the wedding and the one that said she was coming just didn't show, so put nothing past people. If you think they'll be an issue, they just might be, weddings do not keep them in line

You are too funny!!!! and... you are totally right, and I think you should make the phone call so that your dad isn't involved. It wont bother you if you don't talk to them anymore, but it seems that it would bother your dad... I can't believe some people! Who does that!?!?! Good luck and hopefully they will shock you and be understanding that they can't just invite who they want!

you are a riot!!! lmfao!!

i'm sorry you have to deal with them, ugh! but your approach is very tactical and considerate. they won't even be able to say that you rudely gave them a flat out 'NO' (even though that's what you should do!)...wait it out a few days and talk to them if your dad doesn't. best of luck!!

omg! what a nightmare.

Sorry you're in such a bad spot. I hate that these things can bring out the worst in ppl. They have no right to try to throw people in on the rsvp. Rememeber it's not about them, it's about you and who you want to be around you that day. It's not a free for all.

First of all, you are friggin hysterical!! Love your writing style! Second. UGH!! Extended family is so ghetto sometimes!! I agree that you should stick to your guns, and call your TIti to iron this out!! I know it is frustrating that your Dad hasn't called, but like you said, you and FH are paying for your small wedding, so I think you should handle the people trying to inflate your invite list!! I am sure FH and I will be doing the same thing if any of our family try and get slick and invite themselves!! Best of luck to you sweetie!! Keep us updated on your novella!!

I am so sorry that you are going through this.

Go all sorts of Bridezilla on their assess and then give us the play by play!

Don't let them get away with it. Your way or the high way!

We are so sorry that this is happening to you. You and your FH have to definetly stick to your plans and just keep on putting your foot down. I have one of my aunt's saying the that one of my cousin's (her son and wife) will not be coming to the wedding because their 4 childen are not invited. I just said okay. I have learned to not give in. I have not recieved their RSVP yet. If they come they come, if they don't they don't. They know that their 4 children are not invited. Our thoughts are with you. Please keep us posted.

LMAO Doesnt it sound just like a telenovela? All the drama, everyone screaming at one another. Fortunately I highly doubt that I will found out my Fh is really my brother but not really because at the end we'll find out my mother who he hought was his mother really adopted him... At least my name is not Maria, Marisol, Maria Mercedes or MariMar...

And thanks guys lol. I try to use humor because its laugh or cry. Sharp tongue here so better for me to get it all out here instead of openin' a can of HELLLO on my aunt.

Tomorow night is the night girls. My mom wanted me to call when I go back home to visit so they can hear the conversation and there can be doubt of what i said because those relatives are known for re-writing history and I don't want more tension between my dad and I because it's known I have a short fuse and use sarcasm as my weapon of choice. Soooo have to wait till tomorrow night. im sure I will have more updates. OYE!
