Mind games

Poor cousin T. I didn't mention yesterday that she had asked me not to tell anyone she wanted to come to the wedding. And in my reply I said something like "I won't tell... but why? Trying to surprise people?" It turns out she's miffed with the family at large, because apparently her parents and sisters had already told her she wasn't invited to my wedding (untrue, by the way, I had considered not inviting her because of our small reception space but I hadn't totally decided); and also, quite recently, her parents told her not to drive to our grandparents' place because she might be "not wanted" there. So, she was pleasantly surprised to in fact receive the invitation and wants to show up at the wedding to say nyah, nyah. As a mature and responsible adult, of course, I fully support this. So I promised not to tell anyone, and now I really hope she comes. :)

It's funny how you never know what situation your actions are being added to, ya know? I'm glad now that I invited her, because it turned out to be an Extra Nice Thing given the other crap that was going on. I hope she comes. If she does she won't be bringing her husband anyway, so it's no big deal guest-list-wise.

I should mention that her parents are my favorite aunt/uncle set, and hearing that they haven't been nice to cousin T lately is rather surprising.
