Funny wedding invitation
Today, we received an invitation to my husband's cousin's wedding reception. They eloped a while ago, but his wife's parents are throwing them a reception. Fine.
It is adults only. I have no problem with that. We may not be able to make it, because it is three hours away, but we will try.
Now for the funny part--The invite was addressed to Shannon and Ada M. I thought it was odd when I saw it in the mailbox, but then thought it was hilarious after I read that it was adults only.
Shannon's family has a directory and I am listed by my last name and Shannon and Ada are listed under their last name, but I am referenced. Apparently it is confusing.
(For those who don't know, Ada is my daughter and Shannon is my husband. My name is Jen.)

Re: Funny wedding invitation
LOL
I'm a little amused that they have a directory for the family. ....
Something similar happened to us last week... I got a baby shower invite addressed to Judy Mylastname (My name is Joan).
I literally had never ever heard of the mom to be or the people throwing the shower. Neither had H and facebook searches pulled up no connections.
A week later we get a wedding invite for the same people. Turns out the groom/father to be is H's cousin. I've been with H five years now and never met a single person on his mother's side. Not his grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins. They are not close at all. And we did not invite any of them to our wedding (besides his grandmother, who did not come).
Inviting me to the baby shower seemed a bit odd...

my dad MADE me invite random relatives to my wedding. People that live in Canada (and other countries) that I've never met, barely heard of, he's only seen a handful of times in his life and had to check w/ his 93 yo mother to get addresses, names of spouses, etc. Of course NONE of them came, let alone RSVPd.
