I guess it depends how she was when you married her aunt
Her mother hadn't even been born yet.0 -
was her partner invited?
No, as stated in my OP0 -
I think Idiophreak has a point- how well do you actually know the bride? If she doesn't actually know you and you only know her through living with her aunt then that may well be why.
I know I may sound horrible but I didn't even invite my mother in laws OH to our wedding, purely because it was a fairly new relationship and MIL had a history of being quite unsettled, I didn't want the pressure of having to meet someone entirely new on my wedding day.
I would check via brides mother but I'd also make it plain you're not pressuring for an invite, just checking you'd not been added into the headcount assuming you'd attend only to not turn up and cost them extra.
Just editting because I've read you've been in their family quite a while! I'd definitely check with the brides mother then as it does seem odd.:j BSC #101 :j0 -
it does seem a very strange way to invite someone and it looks like you aren't invited but I think a call is needed to clarify. Would your wife want to go without you or is she happy to go on her own? In my case I wouldn't be going without my husband and would be shocked that he wasn't asked.Lost my soulmate so life is empty.
I can bear pain myself, he said softly, but I couldna bear yours. That would take more strength than I have -

I would be the same! Especially if the niece has known the OP all her life! I wouldn't dream of inviting my uncle to my wedding or any other family celebration but leave out his wife! Blood relative or not, they are married so she is my aunt! I have to say I would be quite offended!LBM: August 2006 £12,568.49 - DFD 22nd March 2012

It could be a money thing.
But it's far more likely to be that they don't like you or aren't that close to you and so don't particuarly want you there."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0
