    So, we are 26 days away from our wedding and it seems like everyone besides me is freaking out.

    My MOH is pissed at me because my she didn't get invited to a shower that my step-dads family threw for me. The only person there outside of my step-dad's family was my FMIL, his family likes to keep things small and family only (not even my grandmothers came). So instead of calling me to tell me she felt bad about being left out, she just texts me: "I'm really hurt that you didn't invite me to your shower, the pictures look nice though." Really passive agressive. I text her why, and no response. I try to call her, no answer. I text her asking her to call me when she gets a chance,she just sends a text asking if it is important cause she's at work. I text her back a better explanation of what happened & why she wasn't invited, no reply at all. I refuse to get on my knees and beg for her forgiveness.

    So my mom & 3 siblings are renting a cabin this weekend. It's a 2.5 hour drive away. I ask her if FI and I can come up on Saturday for the day and spend the night and hang out part of Sunday too. Nope. We aren't welcome to spend the night because we aren't married yet, and she won't allow us to sleep together around my siblings until we are married. Argh!! I'm pretty sure they know we live together and sleep together every night & we will be married in 26 days! She wants us to drive up for the day and leave the same night, but 5 hours of driving to spend the afternoon up there doesn't seem worth it.

    I'm so frustrated by everyone's behavior. I can't take anymore. Does this happen to everyone right before the wedding? I feel like I'm the one who should be freaking out since we wanted only 75 people at our wedding and now (thanks to my mom!) our acceptees are currently at 111, and could potentially grow to 122!! I just want to cry, and scream at the same time.

    Sorry for the rant. I'm done now.

    It's down to the wire now....everything tends to get crazier the closer your wedding day becomes.

    As far as the MOH...she will come around. I know in my area and within my family, the wedding party is invited to all of the showers even though they may not be able to come. It could be that she is used to that as well and feels insulted that she wasn't invited. Once she comes around and contacts you, just explain to you that you meant no disrespect and that you were just honoring the wishes of your step-dad.

    As far as your mom and the cabin....my parents are the same way and I can see their point. She can't control your decision to live with your FI prior to marriage but she can control what happens under her roof...even if the roof is only rented for the weekend. Maybe you guys can split up and bunk in separate rooms for the trip?
