Apparently me saying no to this wedding was the last straw for them, because they're always asking me to do things I can't afford and they don't seem to understand why I can't despite me telling them every time that I am poor. So now I'm the bad person because I'm totally being poor and "holding myself back" on purpose.

If they want to burn this bridge they can fuck right off. I've had enough of this shit.

::: spoiler not actually relevant to the thread complaint about family and destination weddings I moved away from my home city, and the vast majority of my extended family hasn't. Lots haven't even ever left that city, like, ever. So we send out wedding invites, and my mom's all "everyone thinks you're very rude for having a destination wedding and nobody's going to come." I wasn't having a destination wedding, I was having a wedding in the city where me and my partner have lived for years.

Anyone who won't drive a couple hours on a whim should be deported from the Midwest and shipped to the east coast. They'd be much happier. Like, there are literally people who commute Rockford to Chicago and think it's normal. (It's not they're weird, but to each their own)
