Most of you will get a kick out of this

Future Mrs. Engram, on March 22, 2016 at 8:22 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 37

So my mom's friends daughter married her husband while he was in prison. Now that he's out, they're having a "I still do" thing. Now, from all these forums it seems like if someone isn't addressed on the invite, they aren't invited. So only my parents were addressed on the invite. BUT we also just got her "bridal shower" invite, and get this.... My mother AND myself are addressed on the invite. I'm good enough for gifts but not a vow renewal lol!

    That's bad enough but what's even worse is having a shower for a vow renewal.

    @lulu that was my first thought too.. I didn't think vow renewals warranted a shower!

    Wow. One invite one gift lol. Whenever I was on an invitation with my parents the recipient would receive one gift.

    Did you perhaps get a separate wedding invite that didn't make it through the mail yet?

    Did she not have a wedding shower before their wedding? I guess it's possible since he was in PRISON. Still, weird... I wonder why they didn't just wait until he got out??

    I agree with T Marie. I would go to the shower to see what its like. If something crazy goes down please share! But if you have 1 invite to you and your mom, you and your mom bring 1 gift together if you go. No need for one from each of you.

    Richard, I LOVE that idea lmao. I'm gonna go just to see how this shower goes. I'm not sure why they got married while he was locked up... I think it had something to do with visitation rights or something. Girlfriends visit prison all the time but I think there was something more to it. She actually snuck drugs in their babies diaper one time... He's like 11, 12 maybe 13 now and he's all kinds of fucked up. Like killing small animals type of fucked up.

    ETA: her mother is the most amazing, sweetest woman on the planet. It's a shame how she turned out.

    The biggest problem to me here is that they got married while he was in PRISON. Why do you need to marry someone in prison??? Don't you think they clearly need to focus on their own life and bettering them self before they tackle marriage?

    I saw this too often working as an officer in a prison. I feel bad for her, she probably has no idea all the women he was likely making promises to about being with. It was a common thing they do to get women to send them money for canteen goods, and SO many fall for it. Literally 90-ish % of the population was doing this, married or not. I saw it going through mail ALL. THE. TIME.

    I won't even touch the shower.
