My niece is getting married, I just received my invitation and it read,
Mr and Mrs John Smith and Mr and Mrs Jim Jones (parents of the groom)
Mr and Mrs John Smith is my nieces father and step mother, (he actuallly adopted her when he married my sister. My niece is 31 and her step mother is 32, her father is 54!
My sisters name is no where on the invitation, she is having a hard time with money and can't be there to help her daughter with the cost of the wedding and so my niece is so angry she left her mother and step fathers name off the invite. My niece said that the wedding planner told her this was acceptable, a parents name doesn't have to be on it if they are not contributing to the cost of the wedding
BULL!!
My niece has 2 children by 2 different men and was never married, the man she is marrying is not one of the fathers. The groom is Catholic, goes to church every Sunday and she goes with him but she is not getting married in the church for him, she has said she will not raise her kids Catholic too, why would you take your kids to church but not raise them the way your husband wants you too.
This is killing my sister, her father and step mom bought her wedding dress which was not expensive and that's all their doing but because they did something they get their names on the invite, all my sister can do is pay for the cake, (actually I will pay for the cake but won't let my niece know) or so her daughter thinks.
My niece has not allowed my side of the family to do anything, she wants to be able to tell people that we are just terrible because we refuse to help, big lie, from the day she announced her engagement she has said "I know my mother won't come" it's like she is doing everything she can to hurt and anger her mom so she doesn't show up and then my niece can say I told you so.
I'm so angry I could spit nails but can't say anything because my daughter is in the wedding otherwise I wouldn't even go to it. She told my daughter she is worried that I will have a couple of drinks and that my ex husband might joke around with me and I will get angry and make a scene. PLEASE I have maybe 1 or 2 drinks a year and I have never gotten angry, then she says "you know how your mother is" NO my daughter said, my mother is and never has been like that, now she doesn't want to be in the wedding. My ex and I get along just fine, we even took the kids to play putt putt last weekend, it's like shes trying to turn my daughter against me, maybe because we are so close, (she's 19)
My sister is in such a big depression because of this and I am so angry, we both need your prayers please. Sorry to have went off like this but I really needed to vent. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you!
