[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 334391, member: 6546"] Janet-- I come from a family that has "strained" relationships, to put it mildly... So when I was getting married, I made it a point to send invitations to all those estranged relatives. I thought it would be nice to extend an olive branch. Then, my own mother got on the phone after the invitations went out and basically "un-invited" all the relatives I had invited....and those that offered to send a gift anyway? So told them No Way!...because she didn't want to have to send gifts to their kids' weddings in return. So my efforts at peace were thwarted anyway....ugghh! Based on my own experience...I couldn't help wondering if the invitation you received was from the niece herself....trying to make peace in the family...? If so, what's the harm in having a nice relationship with Tony's niece? Go to the wedding, have a wonderful time.... What's the worst that could happen? Maybe you will be more popular with this second generation of relatives than you are with the first? --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
