Some of you may remember that due to the toxic relationship I have with my mother we decided to not invite her and cut her from our lives. My mom has now taken it upon herself to go family member to family member to try and get people to boycott the wedding in hopes it will make us change our mind. The only reason we know is that my great grandparents at least had the backbone to call us and tell us that they would no longer be attending due to my mom not being invited. They did tell us that she's working her way through my aunts, uncles and cousins and that sadly there are a lot of people that RSVP'd yes that are now deciding not to come. They won't tell us who, but mentioned that to further hurt us they've been told the other family members have no intention of telling us that we aren't coming, causing us to spend who knows how much unnecessary money for people that already know they aren't showing. Now I just can't stop thinking about how our wedding day will also stand to show me

I can't even imagine. People are so selfish and crazy! I am beyond happy that you have your FH and I know your wedding day is going to be amazing, even though its hurtful that your family isn't going to be there, its probably for the best. HUGE HUGS, so sorry that you are going though this.

Yea that's hard. DH grandma died from breast cancer and Nick would go over everyday to talk with him, keep him company, etc... He has a tatttoo remembering her on his back, like they were soo close. It was really hurtful to him that he didn't come, but you have the right idea with pictures- it's going to be awesome and the less negativity there, the better.

I'm so sorry for you. But I want to remind you that family can be anything to you, it doesn't have to be those that happen to share DNA with you. You will have people you love there and the two most important people in your life will be there. I hope you can spend a day surrounded by love and forget about everything else.

And maybe you can drop a hint to your aunt that is not coming that this will be likely a final decision. If she doesn't go to your wedding, she shouldn't expect you to show up anywhere anytime soon (or ever).

I told her we won't be around for the holidays but that idk when I'll feel like seeing those that are skipping for something so stupid again. We decided a few weeks ago that we wanted to take a "framily" picture with the group of friends we always celebrate with. For the past 5 years we've always done a Friendsgiving and Friendsmas with them at our place and I'm really looking forward to getting a nice group shot of all of us after so long.

What the hell... that's insane!!!

I really hope that things pan out for you, and that your wedding is awesome. I truly feel for you, you really shouldn't have to deal with crazy stuff like this before your big day.

On the bright side, you'll at least know who truly cares about you...
