Weddingbee boards

On the morning before the wedding, I've booked a salon for the "girls" and they will be able to get whatever they want done, bride's family's treat.  We'll have mimosas and kolaches with our pedicures.  I thought it would be a nice way to start the weekend- and most of the girls are looking forward to it.  So I sent out the invitation over a month ago and the only ones waffling are the mother of the groom and his sister.  They will be in town- that much they have told me.  Can you guys see any problem?

Nope, come to find out about it- she planned to come but is passive-aggresive and didn't want to contact me to tell me.  Found out through her daughter.  I was an MOG this past summer and I understand her and the feelings of letting go of a son, but I am not fighting over the "kids" now or in the future.  She has been very cold- and I won't be doing her any more favors unless there is a change of tone.  I'd really like a copacetic relationship with her, but she comes from a rural mindse4t and thinks that we are uppity cityfolks.  It's too bad for her though, because I know the value of friendship- and I really don't think she has women friends.  Maybe it's something we can work on through the years.

Mind if I steal your idea for a manicure party?? ;) That sounds awesome!
