Funny story

Lynn, on May 29, 2019 at 9:06 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

Wanna hear a funny story? So my cousin is getting married & I received my RSVP card from her Saturday. But it was only listed for one(envelope was addressed to the both of us!) So planning a wedding myself & knowing how hectic things can be I reached out to see if that was correct before I was rude and RSVP for the both of us. (Hey I know money can be tight & she may not can afford to accommodate us both). So she responds & says “Hey cousin, No that’s correct. Unfortunately were unable to accommodate you and P as a couple.” That didn’t really sit right with me, so I asked what did she mean? “Well you know J & his family are very religious & I would hate for them to be rude to y’all because they are totally against gay lifestyles.” “They don’t like piercings, tattoos, any of that. You know they’re COGIC!” I said huh?? Okay now I don’t know J’s family at all but J on the other hand??? When did he become so religious & if so why did you RSVP for him to my wedding! He even told my fiancé he couldn’t wait until the party because they’re going to be throwing money everywhere!! So yesterday at the bbq my aunt (my cousins mom) heard us talking about it & how my other cousins said they weren’t going bc they thought it was wrong & they don’t wanna be “judged” by him and his family as well! My aunt was pissed. Now she’s rallied my mom and other aunts & wants us all to have a powwow. Girlllllllll go to your daughter’s empty wedding. She’s going to need a witness! 🙄

    WOW! Just WOW! Especially addressing it to both and then saying only you can go. It shouldn't matter what his family thinks. She should invite both of you guys because 1. yall are her family 2. yall are getting MARRIED. I wouldn't go to anything where someone totally disregarded my FH.

    That's wild. Why would she address the invite to you both, if you're not both invited? That's counterintuitive. What a wacko!

    Umm it’s 2019. Get out of here with that medieval ideology!! Is it his family’s wedding or theirs? I have religious family too, but my cousin who is gay is my bridesman and if he has a boyfriend when the wedding roles around and decides to bring him I’m all for it! And if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to come, and they WON’T be missed!!

    This is one of the most absurd/rude things I have ever heard. Why address to both when only 1 is on the invite. And why make his family comfortable with their awful closed minds, but make your family uncomfortable? None of that makes sense. At this point even if she did extend the invite to your partner I would pass.

    Hard pass! She came to me yesterday and apologized. I accepted but we still won’t be attending. My cousins said they won’t either.

    I can't stand when people all of a sudden try to act all religious! Glad your other cousins rallied around you in support. Your cousin is definitely in the wrong here because couples are a unit, plus she's being discriminatory. Let her have her empty wedding!

    Bc that’s exactly what it’s gonna be. My aunt said she has a guest list of 200 including wedding party & we make up 150. She has a very small wedding party. I think maybe 10 total.

    Your cousin did this to herself - some people just have to learn the hard way, ugh. You and your other cousins should make plans during the wedding you won't be attending Smiley laugh
