My aunt by marriage on my dad's side has started this whole domino effect of pissing people off.  She's the one in the family who tries to manipulate situations to get things to go her way.  I'll make it as short as possible:

She calls my dad and says I told her the wedding date was Aug 11.  So he says , I'll check and then I'll get back to you but I'm pretty sure it's Aug 19.  So I tell him it is Aug 19th and I have no idea where she would get the impression otherwise, but whatever.  So then she writes me an e-mail saying that MY DAD told her that the wedding date is Aug 11, and this is after my dad has already clarified  everything.  She says she wants to plan a vacation around the wedding date,and she also tries to guilt trip me into inviting kids so that her kids can come.  So I write her back and tell her the correct date and that we've decided No Kids.  In between the time she wrote the e-mail and I responded, she went ahead and booked her flight for two days before the wedding, so she'll have to miss it.  And the whole time that she's talking to my dad and e-mailing me, she was e-mailing my step-mom and talking to my other aunts stirring s**t up.

My dad tells me later that she's just really not happy that we're not inviting kids (which we can't afford to do), and that the wedding is not on the convenient day for HER.  So I'm like, okay...I'm sorry you can't come, but did you really think I was going to re-arrange the wedding date because you want to go on a family vacation that you can't even afford?  As we all know...the reception bookings are done a year in advance for a decent date.

It just sounds so silly, I have no idea why she would go through all that nonsense if she was just going to book her vacation regardless.  So now my dad and my other aunts are angry because my uncle is going to miss it,  I'm the first child and first girl born on my dad's side, so it's a big deal for them.

silly silly woman....I just shake my head when i think about it...I always find it funny when people are so self-important.  I can't say I'm heart broken that she can't come, but I really wish my uncle could.  Oh well....c'est la vie.

Now I'm just trying to calm my dad and aunts down before they start a war...lol

sorry about the length ladies, I got carried away.

 Its not up to you to make other people happy.  I am sorry that you are going thru this crap no one deserves this while they are planning which is suppose to be one of the happiest days in their lives.  I think she is just pissed off at the fact of no kids(which we are doing aswell).. but like I say to my family she will get over it.  It is very unfortunate that your uncle will not be there on your special day.. Its a big deal for you and your family.. but think about it like this.. do you really want someone that is like that at your wedding anyway(your aunt I mean)?.  If she is all about starting bullsh%t then let her..just don't feed into it... and when it comes up in conversations just let your family know that she knew what was going on.. she made her choice. . there's nothing you can do about it soo..your moving on.(which will be the best for you).  I hope everything works out for the best..
