My friend made quite a controversial choice in hosting an event this morning/ lunchtime.
Traditionally the event would be more family orientated with kids running around and hosted in a more ‘domestic’ setting.
She hosted in quite a posh hotel and only invited blood relatives and friends. My husband and sons weren’t invited but I went as the event would hold no interest for them.
Her parents and one of her brothers initially refused to go as in-laws and nephews nieces weren’t invited. However, mother and brother did come in the end!
But a whole slew of the uninvited turned up anyway. Two sisters-in-law , one with her own sister came to the venue and had lunch in the same restaurant with their kids who kept coming over to our table.
A cousin’s partner walked around grounds with her own child while partner and older step-child were at event.
Mother-in-law’s sister sat in the hotel’s lounge and the spouse of another friend set up his computer in the conservatory type thing.
I was just cringing, why would they humiliate themselves like this?
I would not have done what friend did but even if I wasn’t invited somewhere and I was upset I wouldn’t dream of still coming to venue.
Why do you think that they did it?
