Cubs won again tonight! They're a game and a half back! Woo hoo!

Got a call from my Mom tonight, who got a call from my Grandma in Arizona. Seems she was asking why a certain Aunt (let's call her Gail) was not invited to the wedding. I'll have to call her back tomorrow, but the real answer (and the one I'll give her) is that I just didn't think about that person. She's my great aunt...My Dad's aunt. Truth be told, I didn't even remember she existed when we were making our lists. I haven't seen Aunt Gail in YEARS. Like waaaay over 5 year, and more around 10. I mean, do I really need to invite these people? We are still 10 under the guaranteed, so I might as well, but still. And it's not like I care about pissing them off, because it's not like I saw them when WE LIVED IN THE SAME STATE, which we do not anymore. What a pain. I mean, if her son was getting married (for all I know, he is already) I wouldn't expect to be invited, nor would I care. I guess with the number of AZ people coming in for the wedding word must have gotten around. Also, her brother ( I think...still not sure about that side 100%) is coming, but I would recognize him on sight, as would he me, I hope. They're the same tier of family member (great-...) but it's just different. Last time I heard about this family, they were trying to hit my Dad up for some investment or something. Court talked to my Mom about this, and then said to me 'well, they're lawyers, so at least we'll...' and I was like 'uh, no. I don't think they're like that.'

I mean, gifts are nice, but I'm not all about that. From day one of the engagement I knew that a HUGE chunk of my money would be going towards this wedding, and I considered it gone from then on. I'll be happy with what we get, that's for sure, but I'm not looking to make any money out of getting married. Some people make money, some break even, some end up losing.

Financially, we can afford to lose all of it (mostly because I get paid the day before) and not get thrown out of the house or anything, which is always nice. :)

I just hope everybody has a good time, and it all comes together well with no problems, and let the chips (and gifts) fall where they may.
