Hi all, I'll try and cut a long story short, getting married next valentines day, small 50 peeps civil ceremony at 4.30pm, then a cocktail style buffet/party in the eve. H2B and I have no kids, and not sure if we do want them, so with limit space agreed on no kids to the wed (except new borns and over 16's), my only bro has two, the little girl will be flower girl and thats it, all our friends are happy with the no kids rule(night off for them!). However just been to visit his family in eire, who we don't see that much, distance, work etc.. And basically his sister flipped because her 5 children are not invited, sorry one of them is, she is sixteen, the rest of them are under 11, and she is pregnant due in oct, so obviously the new born.
The rant included 'my kids are my life, you tell them there not invited, how selfish we are, you only have one sister, I wont be there if my kids are allowed to come', she actually scared us both half to death with the screaming like a banshee act. The best of it is she will leave the new born at home with a friend! She often goes on holiday without the kids too. To make matters worse the father-in law said he's not coming either, 'family's, family's' was the quote.
H2B is not all that close with fam, esp his dad, but I can't see her backing down, and we dont see why we should either, so I can see some of his family members not coming.
I know its a long story, but just wondered if anyone else has gone through this? It has now filled me with dread in planning the wedding, considering this is suppose to be a fun happy time, it's turned into a nmare!
Any advice please?
