[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My niece got married and my daughters were the only cousins not invited in a large family because they were under 18 (ages 13 and 15). It's my husband's family so he went on his own and I stayed home with my kids (it was an out of town wedding). And no, I wasn't going to spend money on plane tickets for my daughters could sit in a hotel.

The irony was that my SIL lobbied for this niece to stand up in our wedding as a flower girl when she was 8, but suddenly kids at a wedding was a bad thing when she got married.

I never said a word to the bride about it but I found it to be very hurtful.[/quote]

Holding a grudge — decades later — against someone for her mother’s behavior?  How is this wedding in any way “sudden” if the 8 year old is now old enough to be getting married?  I get why you might have been disappointed, but to pat yourself on the back for keeping quiet with the bride — because her mother wanted something when the bride was 8 years old is kind of off, at best.

Impressive at how completely you missed the point.[/quote]

What do you think the point is? Are you the PP who wrote that post? 
The SIL did the lobbying. The bride might not even remember the event. 
The PP might connect all of those things with her kids not being invited. The bride — who was 8 at the time of the “ironic” moment probably won’t.
