I have one of those aunts who no one likes I'm not even sure my uncle likes her.

Anyway we have just found out that some of my cousins (the mother is my dads 3rd cousin) are planning on a trip to the UK around the time of the wedding. We are not near full capacity for our venue so have space for them so obviously extended an invite to them.

As things do this got to my aunt (I guess via my mam to my uncle [her husband]) she has taken it upon herself to call me.

first off asking who these people are - very rudely I might add

saying she didn't realise that such people were coming to the wedding

She then asked if she could bring her mother (!) apparently if these cousins and another uncle's mum is being invited then her mum should be to-I told her no

She ended with saying that if these cousins are coming she and my uncle will not be (because she obviously speaks for my uncle as well)

What the hell !?! what do I do?

    Boy, did you dodge a bullet, with that one.

    I have an aunt that no one can stand to be around, too, and she's not even invited. I'm sure I'll get some grief, from my grandmother, but she and my uncle didn't even have the courtesy to RSVP, to my sisters wedding last year (of course, no card, congratulatory e-mail - nothing). Oddly enough, she asked to be my friend on Facebook last month (didn't ask my sister, isn't friends with our other 3 adult cousins). I've had an internet account for 15 years, and that was the first time she ever tried to contact me. Nope. Not happening.
