    I don't know if you remember, but to keep numbers down, we're only inviting partners of friends to the ceremony if they're married or engaged. (Other partners will be invited to the evening do). Well as Jack and I live in the 21st century, any of our homosexual friends who have had civil partnerships (or are engaged) are included in this, as of course we consider them married.

    As they're very conservative Christians, my PIL2B were against this, especially my MIL2B. MIL said, "you're inviting these sinners into a house of God." ?

    MIL said she wouldn't attend the wedding, and PIL followed suit.

    So anyway, they stopped speaking to us, but when we found out I was pregnant we tried to build bridges.

    It didn't work. They were really horrible about the fact I'm pregnant and we're not yet married.

    Thus they're still not speaking to us, and the card thing seems to suggest they're cutting us out, because we don't follow their antiquated views.

    Pathetic really.

    Oh NYR that's terrible! I hadn't heard that. I'm surprised people still have those views, and so strongly too.

    NYR that is ridiculous and petty! No matter how much we're in the 21st century there are of course some people who who hold fairly conservative views but to let it get in the way of a relationship with your son and grandchild....

    My parents are pretty conservative and not keen on us living together before marriage but I told them they had to get over it. If I were to get pregnant now they'd be a little disapointed in the way round it had been done but I can't imagine them not wanting to see us!!!

    J just phoned his aunt (his mum's sister) who said, "oh for Pete's sake, this is ridiculous, I'm going to see her tomorrow and give her a stern talking to."

    Part of me wonders though, if they're using this as an excuse, to cover up the fact they don't really like me or something!
