First of all, I only have myself to blame because I snooped through Fiance's emails (in my defence i was trying to access my hotmail and he'd left his open). MCame across an email between him and his Mum. My parents have invited his parents (only met a few times) and grandparents to an informal engagement tea at their house which is happening in a few weeks. No fuss, but Mum sent little notes to them all inviting them to join. I noticed in an email exchange his Mum wrote - "see you at the staging!". This is a p1sstake right? I am feeling very prickly. Am i being unreasonable??

sorry that was appallingly written (too many brackets) (can't help myself)

I can see why you don't think that is very nice.

see you at the performance/show/spectacle

staging in this context would I assume mean the putting on of a show/performance?

Maybe that's what she feels? That they are to be brought before your parents?

Perhaps she feels under pressure to perform or come across well?

they are quite a theatrical family and it refers to something being "a performance" or a bit showy and i have noticed she can be quite pre-occupied with people being (what she would consider "showy") you know when you just KNOW what someone is implying? It's one of those situations.

Also confused, and Wikipedia was no help

Did she mean it in the theatrical sense?

littlewhitebag · 14/03/2014 11:23

I have no idea what it means either.

Eh?
