Family FeudsPooster tells us that a relative was once sent to the shops to buy an onion, while the rest of the family went on a daytrip while he was gone. Meanwhile, whole sections of our extended kin still haven't got over a wedding brawl fifteen years ago – tell us about families at war.

I have this problem too.Getting married next year, I'd really like to invite my (ex-)uncle, whom my maternal aunt divorced years ago. I don't want to invite my aunt, because she's a passive-agressive manipulative headcase. Even my mother doesn't like her, and she's her sister: however, my mother also feels that we have to invite my aunt, and her new husband, simply because it's the done thing.

It's your weddingSome mothers go absolutely bonkers when it comes to their daughters weddings. My advice is to pay for the whole thing yourself, plan it without any input from anyone (other than your spouse to be), and it could be a lot more fun. Feelings might be hurt initially, but they will get over it and as it is your wedding, you deserve to have what you want and invite who you want.
(That’s how we did it anyway and it worked out great, not a fancy wedding, but it was fun and relaxed and amazingly, we are still married almost 20 years later).
