Well 61 days till our wedding and yesterday we received a letter from my partners sister saying as we cant be bothered to go and see them (they are in Bury and we are in Grantham) they have decided that they are not coming to the wedding, so we were down a bestman (brother in law,) bridesmaid, witness, cake (sister in law was making it) and hairdresser (sister in law again) just what we needed two months before, we were going down there last weekend but were called just as we were leaving not to as his mum was poorly, really cant believe they have done this to us. The good news my friend has stepped in to be bridesmaid my son best man my matron of honour is sorting a cake and will do my hair and we gained another flowergirl (my friend who has stepped ins daughter) bless them all I truly have some wonderful friends (cant say much for his family though) rant over xx

i know the feeling, h2bs family are spiteful like that too! glad youve got things sorted elsewhere though!
Find out who you are & do it on purpose!

What the hell!?
What's the story behind this? That seems very irrational... it makes me think there's more to the story maybe?
And we lived happily ever after!

That seems a strange response, surely she would have known her mum was unwell and so would have understood. X
CommentAuthorValentinaK
Yeah... that's what I was thinking... Have you never visited? Is she a volatile person and may be doing it for attention?
Maybe she's going through something right now which is making her over react or something? Could be to do with her mum??
Stupid cow, she'll be the one regretting it, not you
Wibbly wobbly, timey wimey
*Kelbel* is my wedding twinny!

I'm glad you have good friends who have stepped up to help you out. My worry would be that you now have discounted them from the guest list and they are cheeky enough to still turn up. What does h2b think about it all?
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012

It's similar with my family I haven't seen my brother and sister and there partners for over a year now, this is because I have had a peaceful life without them, anyway they responded to my invite (I sent to keep the peace) saying they weren't coming so my mum will be upset but I'm not fussed.

We have visited many times since pete moved down here the last time being at the end of april, his mum lives with her and her family, she is rather frail and had a stroke the week before last but is ok she spent two days in hospital which is why we were going up last weekend to see them, we were told she was too ill for us to go up, so we sent flowers and a card, im not sure why she has a bee in her bonnet about it, but now we cant even find out how is mum is as she has blocked our nos and blocked us on facebook too, I was really upset yesterday but to be honest if they don't want to come that's their problem its a shame but their choice xx

Wtf, that seems rather extreme for one cancelled visit which wasn't even your chance to cancel. I'd probably just turn up on the doorstep one day to find out what exactly the problem was!

CommentAuthorValentinaK
I'd try and sort things out with her.. not so much for the stuff like the cake, but for her attendance... you may regret it otheriwse and may cause long term tensions and regrets between you all.
And we lived happily ever after!

If she is blocking your communication, maybe you could write her a letter. Explaining your thoughts on the situation and asking for hers. X
