Ok my one cousin and I have never really gotten along but lately we have for the sake of my cousin that's getting married. I'm in the wedding with this 1st cousin and she had asked me to help with a few things for the wedding (scrapbook we were all suppose to make and the bachlorette party). Now I find out that she is pissed at me for asking my step mom if she had any pictures of the bride and groom we could use. I guess I was wrong for doing that because now cousin 1 is pissed that my step mom knows about it. So I got the impression that because of this I am no long wanted to be involved with the planning. I never even got anything saying what the plan for the bachlorette party was till I wrote and asked. This is the same part of the family that told me not to get pg till after the wedding because then I wouldnt be able to be involved in stuff that had to do with drinking. Sorry who says you cant have a good time at a wedding or bachlorette party without having to drink. My cousin thats getting married didnt have a problem with it. She even had to go as far as explain why she asked me to be in the wedding to the others. Everything I've been through with this part of the family is driving me insane and I'm on the verge of tears because I'm so done dealing with them. They make face when their around me but then behind my back say so much crap and dont think I'll ever hear about it. Like when we had the bonfire last weekend, they showed up and pretty much ignored me the whole time. Sorry who are we celebrating here. If I didnt care so much about the cousin that was getting married I would just say forget it all and step out of the wedding but I know that she is happy for me and wants me in it that its the only reason I still am. Sorry that this is getting long but I tryed talking to Mike about it and all he said was ok I really have to get to bed I have to work tomorrow. I know he is tired of hearing it all but still come on.

AWWW hon....



I am sorry their are acting like jerks! Why do people have to be so childish? I say just wait for them to ask you about stuff...don't go out of your way with them. As long as the bride knows what is happening, I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe just send the other girls an email saying, if they need help again, just ask. And then leave it at that. Let them ask.

try not to let them get to you. I know easier said than done

I agree with Bobbie. I would tell the bride that's what you're planning and then just wait for them to ask. It seems like they're going to be jerks no matter what you do, so you shouldn't spend a ton of time around people who just stress you out.


I hate people like that.

I wrote her and told her that I only asked my step mom if she had any pictures we could use and that's all she was doing was printing pictures for us. And I closed the email by saying "looks like you got everything covered but if help is needed I'm here and if not thats fine" that was the nicest way I could say it. Really wanted to say well since I'm not included in anything anymore dont bother asking me for money because if she comes to me asking for money I'm going to say F off, I dont know what the money is being used for. I'm more mad now then ready to cry but I'm one of those people that gets so mad that I start crying out of frustration.

Or do something special just for you that is WAY more sentimental than the other girls...that you will stand out on your own and when she asks whose idea it was, you can say yours and yours alone!

Awe Angie, Im so sorry that they are being jerks to you. Just think of it this way. The cousin getting married personally asked you to be there, and stuck up for you to the rest of the family, so youre pretty much a guest of honor at this point. Dont get too upset it will all be over soon, then you wont have to deal with crappy people any more

If it means anything we think youre a wonderful person

Awww. Family sometimes sucks. I think that your response was perfect. Be the grown up and take the high road. Be in the wedding party and have a wonderful time!

I am sorry they are being such jerks to you. That is really mean and petty because it should be all about the bride.

Sorry you are having to deal with them.

I remember all the drama with the wedding and dress shopping and stuff...sorry it's not over

Hope things get better. When is the wedding?? Hopefully not too long so you can be done with all their drama!

I am sorry that they are making you feel that way. I would take a step back, like Bobbie said, but at the same time, try not to stress to much about it (You don't need to stress out over someone else's wedding!)

I might (After a week or so) talk to your cousin and tell her you don't understand why she is so mad and that it hurts you to think that she doesn't want you involved... she if that opens some communication between you two...
