Sorry all this is a long one. Me and my now husband got married in May 2019. We invited all our close family and friends to the day and then friends from work etc to the evening. When we got married my family from my mothers side (16 people) which we are very close with attended the wedding in the day and evening. When we went to our room in the evening and opened our cards and gifts from guests found that the whole of my mothers side of the family had not given a card no gift. We were a bit taken aback by this as they are close family. The morning after my auntie advised at breakfast the cards and gifts were in her room so would give them to me before we left. This never happened. My husbands mother and father are originally from Ireland so we invited all his relatives from Ireland who I have only met once in the time we have been together (6 years) and my husband only sees them every couple of years but yet they attended and also made the effort to give cards and gifts. I mentioned to my auntie on another occasion that we hadn’t revived the cards still and she explained my nan had lost them. Then another time then that they found the cards but had to open them and use the money for my uncles. I was shocked!!! I got to the point that I just gave up with it. Now my cousin is getting married and we have been invited. My husband is reluctant to go as feels they were rude to attend our wedding tell us we had cards etc and then use the money themselves and now expect us to attend the wedding of my cousin. We are the sort of people who would never attend a wedding and not give a card or gift whether we were invited in the day or night. I’m just wondering what’s your thoughts on this?
