I've never had to start a second thread so no idea if I've done this right.
I couldn't resist the title.

There’s not 10 of them , but The Osmonds wore lovely white suits , and danced 👍
TixieLix · 23/04/2019 20:24

I'm not sure what would be worse - white suits and looking like the Osmonds, or white tux and looking like they're waiters!

Well at least by not going I won't have to endure spending the evening with my EXH and his DP The Gin Queen.
The wedding's in August so unless The Duchess of Sussex can keep her legs crossed till then they shouldn't lose too many guests.
I used to love The Osmonds....put me right off now. Maybe the Groomsmen will all sing Crazy Horses.

Your exH, your nephew's ex-uncle, is going to the wedding of your brother's son but you're not invited?

Hepzibar · 23/04/2019 20:45

EX and the Gin Queen will be second tier guests I imagine - just like the OP.

OP your DM has it nailed, he has indeed shown his true colours.

DB1 is wet.

The dynamics will change, Sunday venue will change, DN will lose his Sunday audience.

Motoko · 23/04/2019 21:09

I can't get over the fact that B1 let his son say that to his gran, and didn't pull him up on it.

Merryoldgoat · 23/04/2019 21:17

Phew! Found it!

I cannot believe what your wanky nephew said to his grandmother - what an utter twunt.

Your mum’s right - better to know what they’re like now.

I just hope someone puts the dance routine video up on YouTube, because you KNOW they’ll do one.

SenecaFalls · 23/04/2019 21:19

I live in the southern US. Even down here 10 all white attired groomsmen, even in the height of summer, would be considered tacky as hell. Of course, what would be considered even tackier is not inviting your aunt to your wedding.

FromDespairToHere · 23/04/2019 21:25

Ah I'm glad I found your second installment!

Ruru8thestars · 23/04/2019 21:28

Ex and Gin Queen have higher priority than you?

peachsquish · 23/04/2019 21:32

Nephew sounds completely up himself. Sorry you had to find out his true colours like this.

ScrambledSmegs · 23/04/2019 21:38

Good rant, Graphista. I was nodding along as I read.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/04/2019 21:40

Your mum sounds ace op. Very level headed about the whole thing. The irony about you not being posh enough is that you, unlike your nephew, have behaved impeccably.

Your ex is going to the wedding and you, his aunt and godmother are not. Ffs.

Mummyoflittledragon · 23/04/2019 21:43

Personally I think your mum should be washing her hair that day. Wink

Perhaps she’d like to join you on holiday and not be available - as you’ll come back are per your original plan or the following day.

MrsMozartMkII · 23/04/2019 22:10

What's with your Ex and his Gin Queen going...?

EdtheBear · 23/04/2019 22:22

Omg hes inviting his Aunties ex ? What is he on?

3 cheers for your mum, she has seen exactly what he has done, and seen his true colours. I've no doubt other things will be coming into her mind too. Funny what you see when the blinkers are ripped off.

Bringbackthestripes · 23/04/2019 22:51

Horrible situation all round. Poor DM being expected to sit at the wedding breakfast on her own! (After getting a lift off you!!)

Not sure if I have missed a post, have tried to read the last thread, has anyone actually asked DN directly why so few members of actual family have been invited? I feel I am missing something.

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/04/2019 23:09

Your ex hubby is going?? 🙀🙀🙀😡😡😡

Butterymuffin · 23/04/2019 23:17

Love your title OP Grin

You must find a way to get hold of photos from someone who does go, though. I want to know if this 10 groomsmen in white thing comes off in the end. That may need a whole other thread in August though.

ByeClaire · 23/04/2019 23:18

Maybe your ex husband can give your DM a lift there, OP Grin

Seriously, this thread is a giver. I can't decide whether I want there to be 10 bridesmaids to match the groomsman or only 1, so that your DN looks a complete dick.

TheweewitchRoz · 23/04/2019 23:19

Oh Op, your nephew sounds like a selfish prick - so sorry that he's ruined your family dynamic in this way.

I'm confused though - why is your exH invited?

AWishForWingsThatWork · 23/04/2019 23:24

Wait. Your his dad's sister and he rocks up for the free Sunday food every week, but you're not invited. But your EXH and his new wife are?!?

Wow.

ZippyBungleandGeorge · 23/04/2019 23:24

The only negative for you in all of this OP is that you won't get to see the freak show. Your DN sounds vile. This is a thread I hope the daily fail do pick up, he deserves to see his spectacle of a wedding mocked by vast swathes of the population.

YaWeeGobshite · 23/04/2019 23:25

You’ve handled yourself with grace and dignity as this has unfolded OP, be proud of that.

Hecateh · 23/04/2019 23:26

I've read most, but not all of this.

Few thoughts

1 DN started joining the family afternoons purely to be centre of attention over his forthcoming wedding

2 DB1 accepts this - hmmm - is this part of the reason that DN is what he is - because he has been pandered to all his life

3 Not sure if I've missed anything about DN's fiancee BUT something about this makes me suspect that it wouldn't be surprising for her to be on here in the not too distant future, because she is being controlled and isolated from friends and family.

He They can invite who they like - he they can't dictate how people respond
