My nephew got married to a salty beach a couple weekends ago in San Martin (which is just south of San Jose, California). My son and his husband stood up for my nephew as his groomsmen. I was honored for that. The Salty Beach of a bride is a manipulative See-U-Next-Tuesday who is all about HER family and ignores and insults the groom's (my nephew's) family.
Salty Beach wanted the actual "real" wedding at an exclusive home they rented. HER family was all invited to stay on the premises. There was a limit to the number of guests who could stay on the premises, so HER family stayed there. My nephew's family had to make alternative arrangements despite his parents paying 75% of the cost.
Here's the bottom line: Groom (and his parents) were expected to shell out 75% of the cost despite being allotted 10% of the guest list. Salty Beach did not even want my nephew's grandparents there. Wow.
I'm sure you're thinking, "Well, why did the groom and his parents just say no?"
Here's the reality. They don't have the energy.
The mother of the groom recently found out she was diagnosed with uterine cancer. A hysterectomy was scheduled immediately.
The sister of the groom is expecting the family's first grandchild. The sister of the groom and her baby-daddy were NOT invited to the actual wedding NOR the reception that is to be held this weekend up in Eureka. Why? Because they are not vaccinated against COVID.
Bullshit.
The REAL reason is that my niece (sister of the groom) sees right through the bullshit of Salty Beach and calls her out on it; therefore, sister of the groom MUST be punished as she sees through Salty Beach's pettiness. Unfortunately, my nephew is to blame in this as well as he is p**** whipped. HE is changing his last name to hers. He never learned to stand up to this c-u-next-tuesday and saw her for what she is: a divisive force tearing the family apart.
Imagine the mother (and father) of the groom. Here's her dilemma. Their son (or should I say Salty Beach) wants to have the wedding reception up in Eureka, which is 4 hours north of Sonoma County, at the same time their daughter is due to give birth to the first grandchild.
Sorry, but it's not exactly a straight drive from Eureka to Sonoma County. It's a curvy road that is dangerous. Cell service is sketchy should you need to call 911. Finding a nearby hospital could prove daunting as the area is so remote. I'm talking Sasquatch material here, folks. Giant redwoods in remote areas with nothing for miles and miles.
Daughter = due to give birth;
Son = married Salty Beach a couple weeks earlier at a private event for pretty much HER family and HAD to have their reception up in Eureka during the SAME time frame sister was due to give birth.
Salty Beach wants to scrape in as much cash as they can for their wedding as they had their actual private event in San Martin. Knowing that their limited guest list = limited gifts/cash for their limited guest list for the actual wedding, they scheduled a reception waaaaaaaaaaaaay up in northern California to extract as much as they can from friends/family without having to put forth much effort.
They really don't want anybody to attend their "brunch extravaganza" they just want everybody to fork over cash.
Sorry, but I don't find driving 4 hours each way for eggs and toast for an event I was not worthy of witnessing originally worth it. We were not worthy of the actual event, but now they want us to drive 4 hours each way for a "reception." I wish they would have just called it as it is.......forget the reception invite all together and just fork over cash.
Somehow, that was the plot all along. They really don't want any of us to attend. They just wanted to issue the invitation to justify asking for cash. Imagine their surprise when we all show up sans $ eating their eggs and bacon.
