[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not really surprised by many of the responses here but I strongly disagree. Weddings are about families, creating a new family, joining families, and welcoming a new person to each extended family. Unless there is a compelling reason for excluding them, include all four of them. We have had a couple of nieces and a nephew who left aunts and uncles off the guest list and it has caused really hard feelings. Unless, it's an extremely small wedding, I don't understand the thought- I don't want anyone who I don't know really well at my wedding. It's such a self centered take, get over yourself! Weddings should be a joyful celebration of your new life together. When have we as a society gotten so mentally ill that we can't tolerate unfamiliar people?[/quote]

I agree with you, which is why I was very inclusive with my wedding, and likely you were with yours. But guess what? This ain’t our wedding! The people getting married make the final decisions. And it’s really awful to use money as a mechanism for control.[/quote]
