Hello, I got engaged in July and now its almost March, wedding is
mid-July. One of my older cousins (late 30s) never acknowledged my
engagement that happened last summer. I'm closer to her mom (who is my
mom's first cousin) and our mothers speak to each other almost daily.
Why am I expected to invite my cousin to my wedding when she still hasn't acknowledged that I even got engaged?
Everyone is telling me I have to invite her, to make my mom and aunt
happy, and that it would be a bigger deal NOT to. Yes I know that's
true. My mom would never dream of bringing up the situation to my
cousins mother. I sent her a save the date.....three months
ago.....still no acknowledgement. Am I being dramatic or am I right to
be offended by this and I shouldn't be considered the bad person here
for not wanting to invite her and her husband? Why am I expected to
invite someone who clearly doesn't care about my wedding just because
I'm related to her and she's my aunt daughter?
Just looking
for non-biased feedback please, I already know the "mature" thing to do
would be to send the wedding invite and not care. But I do and my
feelings are really hurt. Thank you for reading this.
