I may well be being unreasonable here but I've just got back from a wedding and I'm bloody sick of being a 'duty guest' for want of a better word, that is, someone who is invited only because the bride and groom feel they should, extended family or someones other half etc
I've been to some lovely weddings where I have enjoyed every minute of seeing two loved ones get married and known that I was wanted there. However take this weekend for example which cost both myself and the couple ££ and culminated in me feeling unwelcome and like they would rather have invited someone else in my place, as it was only small. I was only invited because I am a cousin in law or some such (don't want to say exactly what relation!)
Would it be rude and unreasonable to start saying "no thanks" and do both myself and future couples a favour?
