This is a bit of a long one but last year my BIL was getting married 4 months after us. We only invited 7 people to our wedding but PIL stuck their noses in trying to get us to invite DHs Auntie. We stood our ground and said we were having our wedding our way.
Anyway, a few months before BILs wedding they contacted us to say that whilst our DS was welcome to the wedding, they would rather he wasn?t there in the ceremony and could we discuss something (like them arranging a childminder) just for those 30 mins. I, personally believe that our DS should have been sat right at the front during our wedding ? yes, he babbled all the way through ours but that was cute and he wasn?t disruptive.
Anyway, I refused to discuss the wedding with them and just sent a regret card saying the 3 of us would not be going. They sent a short email thanking us for the regret card and that was that. A few days later I was quite drunk and sent an email to BIL and now wife (although pretended it was from my DH it was actually from me) explaining how horrible and selfish they were. When BIL now wife asked me not to contact her again I sent her a few more emails telling her how rude, selfish and pathetic she was, and how their wedding was a complete joke anyway.
To cut a long story short ? we have not spoken to them since. They sent DS some clothes this summer for his birthday, which he wore. However, at xmas they sent another present for him which my PIL gave him. I am outraged that they have passed on this present from these people when they excluded our DS from their wedding. DH had a go at PIL and they told him to grow up. I cannot understand why they can?t see how interfering and hurtful they?ve been.
