I would want mine to be a little dirrefren than the other girls...

Hello Michelle~ Welcome to the forum!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

thank you, all of you girls, it is just frustrating! Quote: Originally Posted by Adamsgrrl F%$# Them. It happens to alot of people.

I somewhat do feel this way, but then again if it were my family who wasn't there, then I would be upset....

to the forum!!

that is so romantic!

I half feel like if they really wanted to go, they would go, but I know it is upsetting him...

When we see our friends or his family all they want to talk about is their upcoming vacation in Cabo! Everyone is supper excited. Everyone except my family. When I announced my DW choice (over a year ago) my family was not excited at all. However, they said that they would go. Then during the holidays, they all were treating me very differently. When I asked what was going on, my fav aunt came clean…..everyone is upset with me because I am having a DW and they do not what to spend the money. So, I have only one family member that is definitely going….my cousin who is the best man. My dad and sister (maid of honor) are almost definite pending money situations. I think I will have to pay for my sister – which is fine because she is in college, so I totally understand. BUT I was hoping that my dad would help out since he is not helping with the wedding at all. He feels that having to pay for a hotel room and airfare for himself is my present  Anyway, I totally understand if my family does not want to pay the $500 pp to go to my wedding. BUT I do not understand why they think that I am a BIG B@&CH for having the wedding that I want. I dread every family get together because they are totally treating me badly! Sorry….just had to vent. It is good to hear that I am not alone! that's what I was just thinking!! I am so glad I am not the only one!!

It just makes me sad for him...

I understand the older sister, she has 4 kids, but last week she was just going to come with her husband. The younger sister is really the one who her and her husband spend money like it's water, but they can't afford it!! I know it hurts my FH's feelings, and I just don't know what to do at this point!

So, my FH just calls me to say that his 2 sisters say that they can't go to our wedding. His dad is probably already not going (for reasons I won't get inot at this point) So, his sisters "can't afford it" One reason I picked Costa Rica is because it is super affordable for everyone! Airfare, hotel (AI) is about $1,ooo for 2 people for 3 days. They can spend money on new vehicles, anything they want, but not to see their brother get married. Are we asking too much here? Should I chalk it up to they really can't afford it, or they just don't really want to go... I am so irritated right now with them! Should I feel slefish for having a DW? Sorry had to vent!

I am doing turquoise, I think these: or these:
