This is cringe worthy yes,I didn t know how to shorten this since "what to wear at a ghetto wedding"has already been asked. I was all set to wear actual wedding guest attire. And when I asked about the venue SURPRISE! Not really judging but I feel like I don t need waste a good dress and heels just to be sitting in an alley. I mean,what s more ratchet? Going dolled up to an alley party?or looking whatever in a party at the alley?

I am 22 and everyone my age is getting engaged. All of my former bullies are becoming moms or getting married or engaged.

I got married a year ago and invited my cousin and his wife who live in another state, he didn t respond whatsoever to the rsvp (yes or no) and did not send a card either, ( his mother came so it wouldn t have been weird if he did come or send something along). Now I got an invitation to come to his and his wife s reception at a relatives house (not a wedding, they got married two yrs ago bc he was in the military), I cannot go bc I am having a baby less than a month before and it is too far to drive with an infant and she can't fly obviously. Do I have to send them a gift (they want money) or can I just send an empty congratulations card? I don t see the point of sending them money when it s not a real wedding and they didn t care about our actual wedding enough to even respond to the rsvp. Opinions? If they came to the wedding with no gift I d send a gift to them bc they at least attended but they didn t so I m confused of what to do.

:( I feel there are some connections that will never go away
