My fiance and I have been together for seven years and we are getting married this coming May.
When we were making the guest list there were people that we kind of decided that we were not going to send a separate invitation to because we don't have any contact with them or haven't in years. One of those people was his niece. She used to live with his brother and then two years into our relationship she moved to live with her mom. She stopped coming to family things and stopped all contact with any of us. We saw her two years ago at a family funeral and just last month when my father in law passed away but other than that nothing.
She sent a message to my fiance's sister out of the blue on FB and said how much she missed us all and was not going to wait around for her dad to include her in stuff or tell her when stuff was going on and she said that we should all get together soon.
Well, I sent the invitation out Tuesday, my fiance's sister in law messaged me on FB and told me that my fiance's niece wanted to know if she was included. When I made out the invitation I said "and Family" so that meant everyone. I am just a little irritated with fact that in the last six years she has not felt the need to reach out to anyone about anything and not come to anything when invited, but now because it means that there is something going on that she wants to be included in she wants to be present.
I'm sorry this is not how I usually am, but this just got on my nerves today for some reason and I needed to vent. I know It just bothers me.
