[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 630728, member: 13260"] After being through three weddings with my kids and all the surrounding drama around who to invite, I have given up wondering about the who's, how's, and why's. The whole wedding thing seems to have gotten kind of out of hand, in my opinion. My daughter is a Maid of Honor for her girlfriend and she will be so glad when it's over. This girl isn't a Bridezilla or anything, but she has no kids, no mortgage, makes a lot of money, and she wants what she wants. My poor daughter, a public school teacher, is trying to figure out how to manage her breastfeeding son for the out-of-town Bachlorette Party (I mean, really??), pay her mortgage, and absorb all the expenses involved in being in someone else's wedding. I'm actually having to help her financially to manage this. She's trying to be accommodating, but she's an older first time bride and she has certain non-negotiable expectations. And then we got invited to our neighbor's daughter's wedding. We aren't close at all, and yet, we went (an out of town wedding even) and a had a great, but slightly weird time. My husband and I have been excluded from a couple of weddings that surprised us, but I went onto the the couple's registry and bought a gift and sent it to them. With family, weirdness can run deep and I'll bet there's no agenda to hurt you. She's probably in a stuck place, too. [/QUOTE]
