weddings are social minefields. it's easy to piss people off. take for example my good friend who I've known for years who's getting married in september. she told me she wasn't inviting me because I'm single and there are no other single people going. nice eh?

Is your family big on the meaning of marriage? As in, your gf is just that, some girl you're seeing, until you finally put a ring on her finger. I'm just wondering if this is the reason she wasn't invited, despite you dating her for so long.

Talk to your cousin though. If it's not a slight against your GF, and she's sorry, but had to set limits that she didn't want to go over, then I say go and enjoy yourself. I have a GF and I love her and all that, but, my family is close to me as well, and I can have fun at a family event w/o my girlfriend.

That, or someone else was doing the invites and didn't know her name or didn't know you had a girlfriend. Weddings are a lot of work and mistakes do happen. Give her the benefit of the doubt and call and ask.

This is precisely why we need to stop having weddings all together. Jesus Christ, my fiance is inviting everyone and their barber to our wedding from her families side to avoid hurt feelings. Me, I just said "I don't like them, I'm not inviting them." Some ones gotta be an asshole or we're gonna go bankrupt buying all these fvckers food.
