Family drama before wedding

I've been going through some family drama because I did not invite a cousin of mine who I grew up with. The reason behind was because a few years back he owed me money ,100, and instead of paying me back or just saying that he couldn't , which I would have understood, he decided to ignore and avoid me. He would have family parties and I never got an invitation. Now that I am days away from my wedding, he is making himself look like a victim because I didn't invite him. I understand it's just money but , that's not what made me upset. It was the fact that he chose to ignore me and excluded me from his events because he was I guess embarrassed that he never paid me back. Now I look like the villain cause I invited some of his family but not him.

    Sorry you are going through that. Best thing you can do is try not to let it get to you. Concentrate on your wedding, and all the good things surrounding it.Smiley heart

    Unfortunately, that is how these situations go. I posted similarly on another person's thread that you get to choose what is more important to you. Dealing with the family drama because of your dislike of one person, or dealing with the one person in order to make the greater number of people happy. Personally, I despise my aunt. I avoid her on every occasion and refuse to speak to her. It wasn't worth it to me to upset my grandma (and thus the rest of the family) because of one person.

    If you don't want to invite someone, don't. It's your wedding period. If having your cousin there will upset you on your special day it's not worth it. You and he both know he's not the victim.

    Over $100 you didn’t invite him, you should just suck it up yes it was rude of him not to pay you back and exclude you from parties but you’re disowning your family over $100 imo is just plain sad.

    It's your wedding and if you dont to invite then dont. And definitely dont let anyone make you feel bad about your decision. My mom is upset that I'm not inviting one of her brothers. I told my mom, this is my wedding and I can invite or not invite who I wish. And I find feel bad.

    Oh well. Do what you gotta do. I would ignore the other family members who think you’re a villain.

    So I guess you didn't get it where he stopped talking to me and never invited me after that...

    Well it seems your family thinks it's as silly as I do so maybe you need a different perspective. What didn't he invite you to his wedding?
