This little story should tell us just how bad families can be in weddings. I have a cousin getting married in July. My mother just called to tell me what happened to her and her family.
Apparently my cousin's parents said that they would pay for the entire wedding since that was the traditional way it was done. The groom's family said that they would pay for the limo, bridal flowers, and bar tab. Everything was going fine. The guest list is made out with both families getting an equal number of inviations to send out. Everyone seemed happy with this arraingment. Until my cousins started to get RSVP cards for people that they had never heard of. Apparently the soon to be inlaws were not happy with the number of guest list allotments they were given. So, they went and had their own invitations printed up and sent out to everyone that they had to leave off of their original list. So my cousin's mother calls to say something (since the room only holds so many people and they are paying for the whole thing) The groom's mother informs her that it was just oo bad and that since she (the bride's mother) insisted on causing problems they could figure out how ot pay for the bar, flowers, and limo now too. Then she hung up the phone.
I just was at a loss. I can't believe someone would be so purposefully nasty. Of course at the shower when everyone was giving wedding adivce, the groom's grandmother's advice was for him to find a better girlfriend. I can't believe people can be this nasty to people as nice as this family is. I have known them my entire life, there is NO WAY they would have done anything to provoke this type of action. So, I leave this bit of knowlege that I have learned. People are asses.
