[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh.  You’re keeping track of the value of gifts and “financial support” you’ve been giving the groom over the years?  Not only kinda petty but irrelevant. [/quote]

Well, the money wasn't irrelevant to him.  It helped him pay for college.  And it doesn't require a ton of keeping track as three items were large checks that could quickly be totaled in my head.[/quote]

Except you gave that money as a gift, right?  When you gave that gift, you had no intention of being reimbursed, right?  Why does the gift have anything to do with the wedding?

Now putting the money to the side let’s talk about what you should or should not do. Instead of taking this as a personal slight, shift how you are viewing the situation. The couple made a choice, it’s highly doubtful they intended a personal slight to you or your child. Now you get to make a choice and it’s definitely a choice. Because your son is no longer invited, it doesn’t work for you to attend the wedding. And that’s ok. Send a gift and a card and wish them well.

Stop with the whole I’m not talking to them anymore. Just get over yourself and be happy for them. Maybe you will see them again, maybe you won’t. [/quote]
