Wedding Wars Has Started!!

curly, 11 March, 2009 at 19:12 Posted on Planning 0 2

Oh dear, we sent out our invites at the beginning of this week. OH's uncle has got his and realised its for the night only and he's not happy. Now I wouldn't mind but last time I saw his uncles wife in the supermarket and said hello and then I had to introduce myself to her because she didn't recognise me. Now remind me why my mum and dad who are paying for the food should stump up cash to pay for a strangers dinner!! My OH is upset though because now his mum is upset. I've been told to avoid going to his mum's house because she is upset.

Oh the joy of happy families. I just don't know what to say really..

    Why oh Why does the happiest days of our lives have to upset people?!?.

    Sure if your OH's uncle was to offer to pay there wouldn't be a problem...does he think that the meal is only £10?...did your MIL2b not realise that this could happen?, surely she knew about who was getting invited to which part of your wedding?

    Why doesn't your OH speak to his mum and see if their budget could stretch to 2 more and ask them to come to the ceremony?...then again this could be a tricky one especially if others try the same thing...

    Sorry not much help ?

    I don't expect any help - but thank you anyway! It's just one of those situations. We sat down and had this discussion with OHs MIL2B around 8 months ago - I thought she would have passed on the message but she hasn't. Also they are not contributing to the day (although they are contributing to the honeymoon) and I would not dare ask them for any money. To be honest its more the fact that we should be able to have who we want at the ceremony and not feel forced to invite people just to keep others happy.

    I'm not going to change my opinion, I will sympathise and respect it may not be what they want, but likewise I expect others to respect that it is our wedding and my OH and I should have the day we want. End of.
