Unreliable responses
Nevertheless, I made the decision to send out a proper wedding invitation with my fiancé’s help. After two weeks, despite reminding them via text, they didn’t respond, so I went to see them. I asked my mother if they had time for an event I was planning after I got there, as the date couldn’t be changed. Since they had Brandon’s football game that day, my mother declined. I went home discouraged because I had no other expectations.

Family’s disbelief
My fiancé and I got married in spite of my parents’ lack of response! My brother, father, and mother were the only members of my family that were absent. My grandfather, aunts, and uncles were taken aback. They went white when I told them what had happened. “They didn’t even ask?” asked Uncle Ray, who shook his head. “Nope,” I said, attempting to conceal my displeasure. Even though the day was lovely and full of affection, there was a clear emptiness in the air.
