I admit my relationship to my parents isnt a great one either... I admit, though, after a loooong lasting view not to invite them to my wedding in 2 weeks time I changed my mind now this week... I admit it is not because I would want them to be there, cause deep down I certainly don't, but due to the big family celebration in that respect later this year it would just be too awkward when others (for instance godfathers) figure out they werent part of our wedding... I admit at first we didnt want to do the fuss to celebrate with extended family and in that respect I would not have invited my parents... I admit, however, I know for sure a fair amount of really awesome people who would be disappointed not to get an invite to at least the festive part of it so quite frankly they matter more to me then my parents...(one of them being my godfather who turns 70 this year and was close to death many times in last 18 months... the godfather of my brother who did everything for me as a kid and invited us to his golden wedding last year or the two sisters of my grandpa, whom I want to make sure they will know that I chose grandpas birthday as my wedding day... I admit he wasnt easy due to PTSD from war and I want them to experience that I honour this man big time...even more so as one of them said -to my disbelief- on his funeral 11 years ago, that she would have understood it, if I wouldnt have bothered to turn up for his funeral...I was gobsmacked that she said this back then...yes he was a pain in the arse in the last years but I have many fond memories of him and he certainly had his heart in the right place until alcohol as well as very likely onset of dementia took over his life...) I admit our wedding will be on grandpas birthday and the big family celebration of it on grandmas birthday (well, sadly one day before hers as we can't do such a big celebration on a monday but it is as close to her birthday as possible😊). I admit I know it is very unusual how we celebrate it but quite frankly right now we don't have the financial means to feed such a huge crowd and besides it is our wedding and therefore our rules😊😊😊
