To be using all my self-restraint not to comment

[MsColouring]

Fb related I'm afraid.

Getting married tomorrow. Dp's family are rubbish - only his dad and two uncles are coming - his two sisters aren't. They would need to travel and it's Christmas. But his sister has put all over fb what a great Christmas they have had staying with their aunt. It is taking all my self- restraint to stop myself from commenting on the fact their aunt won't be having a rest because she us actually coming to our wedding which they can't be bothered with. I have had a drink or two so really having to hold myself back.

Weddings have gone daft. Usually, when planning a party/celebration consideration is given to what suits the guests. Weddings now have to be all about the B & G.

If my sister was getting married today, I'd be there because I'd be too scared/upset not to be but it would be the last place I actually wanted to be. However, before planning her wedding my sister discussed possible dates with the people she most wanted to be there.

You knowingly chose a date that suited you, but which you knew wouldn't suit many of the guests. You got what you wanted. I hope you have a lovely day, but you can't be surprised that some people decided not to come.

You reap what you sew. You picked a date you knew wasn't suitable for many so can't now throw a strop because they can't make it.

So she shouldn't have enjoyed christmas? Mmm.

Christmas is expense enough without a wedding. New outfits, travel costs, hotel stay, bar costs, gift etc unless you were funding the whole lot but somehow I doubt it. I imagine lots would decline unless local so cheap.

Hope you had the most fabulous Christmas Autumn you troll

You would expect sibling to make the effort though, however inconvenient

Attending a wedding needn't be expensive Autumn. Clothes don't need to be expensive, you could say you can't afford a gift, or just buy a token gift, the wedding might be local, you don't have to drink the bar dry, you could stay in a Travel Lodge nearby etc.

i would put myself out for a sibling unless I couldn't for financial reasons.
Hope you have a lovely day.

Can I just point out I have no say in my shifts Christmas week. I cannot take annual leave. I cannot even request. I have to take what I am given.

Therefore any wedding Christmas week may prove an impossible challenge.
