FH's grandma is a devout Catholic and months ago, expressed some concerns with him marrying me (I'm Presbyterian.). To make her happy (or so we thought), we went to his parish and spoke with the priest there, who is helping us with our dispensation and we are doing pre-cana Jan 21 so we can get the certificate. (If she didn't express her original problem with him marrying me, we wouldn't have gone through the dispensation process since FH and everyone else in his family did NOT have a problem with us getting married in a non-Catholic ceremony.)
Well, FH just called to tell me that his grandmother shared with his mom last night that she still will NOT attend the ceremony or the reception because it is againt her beliefs to come watch and participate in the ceremony since it's not a Catholic church!
I have nothing against her beliefs, but if I went through the trouble of getting the marriage sanctioned (which means it's not against her beliefs anymore), the least she could do is show up? I'm so annoyed right now, I'm tempted to tell FH to tell his grandmother that if she has no intention of showing up anyway, I'm not wasting my time completing the dispensation process.

Re: VENT: FH's grandma
Ack! She definitely has issues and I'm just mad that I have to be caught up in them and as cruddy as I feel right now over it, I can't imagine what FH must be feeling knowing tha this own grandmother refuses to come to his wedding.
