I Love my FH family and I have been estranged from mine once for three years... I have always wanted to disown my family but in the past they used my children against me. I was thinking of inviting them to the engagement party to tell them they are no longer welcome in my life or at my wedding. I could write them each a long letter or email explaining why I no longer welcome them in my life. Or things could stay the same and I can avoid them all the time maybe seat them way in the back of the church at the wedding. My children are older now and they see things like I do now.  My son told me he doesn't ever want to go to another family reunion...and I am glad.  My family is full of rapists murderers liars and thieves some of them sold crack and have been to prison.

I was at a wedding of a couple of my friends recently. They both have an unusual sense of humor. As the bride entered the back of the church, she was escorted down the aisle by her former husband. There was an audible gasp from the audience. When the minister asked who gives this woman ....... her former husband said I do. There was applause from the audience and some laughter. The theme of the wedding was out with the old and in with the new. Do you think that was funny or just plain tacky.
