It sounds as if Aunt Shelly is trying to hijack your wedding and make it about her. I mean really, who picks on a bride?

If she can’t forget herself long enough to be happy for her nephew and his intended wife, she has no business attending the wedding.

Ugh. Wait til you have to put together the reception seating chart. This is the downside of a formal wedding, but don’t let it get to you. Aunt Shelly needs to get a grip and if she’s really that upset, maybe she’ll do you a favor and not come to the wedding.

Seven pounds? Dude that’s awesome!

It was a Creme Egg, wasn’t it. Oh, PLEASE tell me it was a Creme Egg. I love Creme Eggs.

i NEVER understood the name thing. people have spelled my name wrong since i was four, even, most of the time, if i write it down first, or if i spell it out for them. and i dont even consider it an unnusual name, compared to some of the names out there.

i admire your patience and tolerance over the whole thing. i’m int he middle of planning my own wedding (november) and i can say with certainty that if anything like this happened to me – well, i’m with Mslieder – if thats the way youre gunna be, to hell with ya.

congrats on losing the seven pounds! i think i might have found it. let me know if you want it back.

Jeez, talk about overreacting. I guess for the sake of family peace you can either call her or send her a little card as MsLieder above suggests (LOL about the fragrance).

One time I got a Christmas card from a work acquaintance who must have been stressed out from all the cards she was writing; she wrote my name and the name of my husband on the inside of the card – but the name was not my husband’s name, it was another name. Both my husband’s name and the other name are very common so I can understand the mental misfire that caused it. But it was amusing to me because the wrong name happened to be the same name as my ex-boyfriend from the past! Hopefully my husband never noticed. I think it was just a coincidence…unless I was yakking about Ex-Boyfriend at work…

Of all things to pick at. Sheesh. Send her a card, falling on a sword over your “incredible” mistake, then seal it up in an evelope and send it away. But don’t forget to put a little fragrance on the stationery — fart on it first.

In my family, we have a saying: “If that’s the way you’re going to be then to hell with ya.”

Holy moses, families can be annoying, particularly the Great Aunt Panties-in-a-Bunch ilk. My mom, who had nothing to do with the cards whatsoever, nevertheless received a huffy call from my rather grand Great Aunt Connie because I had inadvertantly put “Mrs.” instead of “Miss” on her invitation.

Dakin’s been on the receiving end of so many misspelled invitations, he just throws up his hands at this point. David, Daniel, Deakon, Daiken, Dacon etc. Shelly — er, Rochelle — should be so lucky. At least you invited her. Good luck and congrats on the 7 lbs!

Oh brother. Can you offer to withdraw the invitation entirely?

Is this the kind of thing that’s going to turn into “you wound up marrying “her”?” from sassy aunt Rochelley?

My two cents: Call AUNT SHELLY yourself and apologize… but then say ‘I wish you would have called me/us directly and let us know about the mistake… because that is what it was… a mistake, an oversight, that was made during a very stressful time. I hope you can forgive me my trespass and join us on our wedding day, because it wouldn’t be the same without you’. Let her chew on that. What nonsense.
