(21,020 posts)no choice, I would have voted for choice #3 if it had been worded differently.
Without the "suck it up" at the end, I mean.
It's the bride's day. She'll have her wedding when and where she wants, and invite whom she wants and sit them where she wants, and that's it.
Which isn't to say your opinion/feelings aren't valid. I think they are.
But I do think it was wrong...which is probably not the correct word but the best I can do right now...to add pressure to her day.
Anyway, we nearly had a family disaster involving my oldest niece and her sister. My niece lives here in Mass but will be married in Florida August 25th. Her sister and brother-in-law will come in from New Mexico.
Well a few weeks ago my younger niece asked if she could bring (a previously uninvited) friend to the wedding as well. THEN she asked if the friend could bring her boyfriend.
This caused what could have been a horrible rift between them but they worked it out somehow. Personally, if I had been the "friend" and knew that two sisters were arguing on my account, I would have told the younger of my nieces to forget it. I don't know who thought of that brilliant plan in the first place...my younger niece, or her friend.
Weddings suck. That's why Mr Pipi and I went with only two friends as witnesses to a JP.
