[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
I’ve never met a girl in this age range who was not thrilled to be a flower girl 
Maybe the 8 yr old hated the wedding and didn't want to subject young cousins to the torture of a boring adult affair she had to endure.[/quote][/quote]

Yet that has nothing to do with these people since we have no way of knowing. You would be surprised to know not all girls want to get dressed up in a frilly dress and parade down an aisle in front of a lot of people.[/quote]
