[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 630618, member: 4152"] Thank you both!!!!! Lil, they did not limit the original list to family per say, but made it very clear that family was a priority. Not sure, but since we've known them for so lOng and know most of the current family oddities, there does seem to be a few strange / peculiar invitations to very extended family. A few non family members were invited due to having an unusual connection to the groom in some way...BUT in both cases they also have a very similar cultural connection. I guess the things that make us so uncomfortable is that they often say we are "like family." This is unsolicited by us. Maybe the key word is "like." They seem to have invited a few somewhat distant relatives and a few that I'm not sure they even like due to the recent family argument. But maybe they are using the wedding to try to patch things up with certain people or rekindle old relationships...very unsure. I guess it also made us feel VERY uncomfortable when she lucked out and got the extra table and we STILL weren't invited.i was doing halfway decently up until that point. I guess I'll never know the entire story, but I'm hurting. They dropped another bombshell...they are putting their house up for sale right after the wedding. I knew they were considering it due to financial concerns, but didn't know when. :( [/QUOTE]
