Wedding season provides familiar dilemmas
Dear Amy: My fiance and I are having a rather large wedding (it's the second time for both of us). We are in our 60s.
My fiance is from a wonderful large family. All his nieces and nephews and their spouses will be invited.
The problem is one niece. She is always rude to me. Her rudeness is obvious to everyone. I've been very quiet about it, and have never provoked her.
Amy, she is in her 30s! I'm glad she is the only toxic person in my new family!
Here's the problem: I really don't want to invite her to our wedding.
My fiance says to ignore her, and that we have to invite her.
Why should I invite someone that treats me like that?
Other family members have witnessed her rudeness. They're passive about it.
It seems her mother (my future sister-in-law) condones her behavior!
So, do I have to invite her to my wedding?
