    Ok, so this might not be a big deal to some people, but it's REALLY starting to bother me. Both of my (male) cousins have gotten married in the last year and a half. It's really annoying because neither one invited me, nor did they even let me know when they were getting married. Both times I have found out over facebook. This hurts because we used to be really close and now I feel a little abandoned. The one that got married laast year, is divorced now, but it's not much of a consolation. And now I just found out that his brother got married pretty much today or yesterday or something. I'm getting so disappointed by them, especially since I have planned on inviting them since even before I got engaged and they knew that. I know they did, because as a "Christmas" gift I made them promise that they'd at least try to make it as they are both in the military. Grrr! Should I be upset or am I just overreacting on this? I'm too much of a chicken to say anything though...

    I can see why you're upset, it's hurtful they didn't let family know (especially if you were close). But.. if they are both in the military could it have been a quick thing? My husband is a Naval officer and we have seen quite a few "quickie weddings" and unfortunatley divorces as well.

       I don't have any advice, just they suck :) *hugs* I would definitley invite them and their SO's to your wedding- treat others how you wish to be treated (even if they're jerks)

    The first one wasn't. The second one I guess nobody really knew about because he knocked her up.

    [Edit] Sorry, I was in the middle of baking and could barely type. Anyway, neither one could use the military as an excuse (which is something I could at least live with as I understand). They just chose not to mention it to me in any way and it's not like it wasn't at least kind of obvious that I wanted to go. I talked over a lot of details with my cousin and he was like yea, you'll just have to wait and see.

    That's unfortunate, is your family large and maybe your parents didn't inform you after they were informed?  In any case, I can't invite my cousins' to my wedding because of budget constraints but I'm only inviting 7 people from my side of the family and I have like 50 cousins.  So it could have been budget or they let aunts/uncles know but not cousins via phone?  In any case, I'm really sorry.

    @thefuturemrsgibbs My parents weren't invited to either wedding (didn't know either one happened until about the same time I did), my siblings also weren't invited, which I'm not surprised about, because I'm closer than either one to these two boys and yes, my cousins were invited to the first wedding, but at this point I don't know really anything about the second wedding because nobody is talking about it, at least that I know of.

    @beekiss2 My parents weren't even told about the weddings, I found out and told them pretty much. It's all just very disheartening because I mean I spent a lot of time with them when I was younger, ie: a junior in high school and even had the younger one who got married first over for dinner about a week before he started dating his now ex-wife again and they were married less than 2 months later. It just feels like my whole family is being shunned, which is dumb because we're the closest out of the entire family to my cousin's family.
