Just Ask Georgia: 6/5/2024

Georgia, I have a question,

My cousin uninvited me from her wedding, where I (17) was supposed to be a bridesmaid, because I asked if I could bring a plus one. All the other family members are allowed to bring their partners. However, she won’t let me bring my boyfriend since we’ve been together for less than a year. We’ve been together for three months, and that’s a long time for me, so I don’t understand what she is thinking. She believes that I’ll be glad he wasn’t in any of the photos when we break up. I think it’s unfair that she underestimates my relationship because it’s relatively new. We got into a fight about this; hence, the uninvite. Who is right here - her or me? Who is right here - her or me?

Uninvited + One

Dear Uninvited,

I’m sorry, but she is in the right here—it’s her wedding. It is not your place to invite others to her day. Also, seeing as you are only 17, she may be correct—in the long run—about the photos.

With love, Georgia
