I can't give a gift at the shower (if there even is one) because I was excluded. But there is the engagement party . . .
And this was no mistake. The MOG has been blabbing for months about how this was going to be the wedding of the century, they were pulling out all the stops, it's black tie (meaning DH will have to rent a tux) and "we're really looking forward to seeing you there if there's room for you".
And the RSVP date for the engagement party (for which we never did receive a formal snail-mailed invitation) was August 5, and the wedding invitation was postmarked August 6. I smell a very large rat.
Ugh, and we're probably going to be seated with my in-laws.
Start the Tanqueray IV now.
