[quote=Anonymous]We had this situation with some of my husband's family. They are Orthodox Jews (my husband's immediate family is Conservative not Orthodox) and I am not Jewish. A number of them wouldn't come to the wedding because they didn't want to be seen as endorsing a mixed marriage. We tried not to focus on it and not take it personlly. It really isn't about you, it's about them and their belief system and there is nothing you can do about it. I have also been excluded from a number of wedding/event invitations from his family members. Before we were married, DH would go without me. Now, he just declines the invitations. We don't send a gift, but we do still try to be pleasant at family events when we see them and, in their defense, they do the same.

My suggestion would be to not dwell on it. Everyone makes their own decisions and you will have a wonderful wedding and marriage. I think that my very happy marriage and my wonderful children are proof enough that we are on the right side of this situation.  A life well lived is the best revenge. [/quote]
