Cynical Nasty Thread

[Gwyn]

I could deal without my FI''s ex girlfriends coming =(

but since they are married or dating his groomsmen i dont think i will be that lucky. I did, however, manage to not invite one of them

how does that meatloaf song go... 2 out of 3 ain''t bad.

So it isnt a total loss

Awww, c''mon! Someone other than me has got to be feeling grumpy!

OK - SNARL in general. I may elaborate tomorrow. SNARL again! [Was that OK?]

oh my gosh! This thread actually cheers me up!! I was feeling like I was the only one hoping certain people wouldn''t come and am stressing over it. Actually I haven''t sent out the invites but I''m rather upset at the thought of how many obligatory invitations there are. Maybe I should start a new thread on "If you could invite only those you realllly wanted, with no bad vibes on anyone''s part, how many would you cross off your list?"

I really don''t want my Dad''s sister to come. It''s his only sibling and my dad passed away last year so I feel guilt. She sent me a nasty email saying she was soooooooo disappointed that I didn''t tell them I was engaged that very day. This aunt is one who talks NON STOP and has no filter over her mouth. But the whole family has had the motto of "just let it go" and then they all complain about her when she leaves. Months before the engagement she said behind my back that she couldn''t believe we weren''t married yet and how I just didn''t want to get married because I''m too worried about my house and my money...since FI has little. (Insert years of resentment over her jokes that I am cheap also). I ignored this as I have been trained to do but her email just pushed me over the edge and that''s when I threw the comment back at her......and I haven''t heard a word from her since! My family says it would be the right thing to do to invite her. grrrrrr Do I HAVE to?

Mom''s brother and his whole mooching family are on the list too. They EXPECT handouts. They''ll be there for sure because they choose not to work so they''ll definitely have "time" and there''s free food!

Freke Can they maybe switch wives? Just an idea...

INDY!!!You have no idea how many times we''ve (my parents and I) have thought about that and contemplated that very idea!! My mom has even said to my dad, "Instead of having them all come out for your birthday, can we have T (nice bro) and C (nice SIL) and all the kids come out?"

You know what my dad said? "Now that''s an idea!!"

When I was younger I secretly wished that T and C could have gotten together...

Sigh. Who do I wish wasn''t coming? FI''s step-sister and brother and respective significant others and offspring come to mind. The step-brother I''ve only met twice and his nutcase girlfriend only once. The step-sister keeps taking her loser husband back "on her terms," even though he''s threatened to flee to another country with their children and hasn''t worked in 2 years. They are nice people when I see them every other Thanksgiving, but they are all old enough that they should be able to pay for themselves, yet FI''s dad and step-mom are paying for their airfare, hotel, everything. It''s not like we decided to have a destination wedding yesterday...they''ve known about it for almost 9 months now (more than enough time to start saving!). It just rubs me the wrong way, though. Poor FI has always gotten the short end of the stick when it comes to them.


Anyway. That helped getting it off my chest. Good job, Indy!
