Need some Nesttie Vibes
Tomorrow is DH's younger sisters wedding, and I am terrified.
His family were none to nice to me leading up to, and on our wedding day. Since then I have not attended any family functions, including the engagement party, Christmas and birthdays. I am quite a nervous person and can just no longer interact with them.
I am terrifed about attending the wedding. The hurt from their words and actions has still not subsided, and even a swanky new dress to wear dosen't make me want to go. DH is totally understanding, and says I don't have to go if I don't think I can, but I really want to be beside him and support him.
Arrrggghhh!!! Maybe I could hide the car keys?

Re: Need some Nesttie Vibes
There is a crazy Aunt that is nice, but apart from that, nobody else that I could talk to. Apart from DH. And it's not fair for him to have to sit with me all night.
ooooh Kath. :-( I'm sorry. I would suggest trying to keep it classy, and just be polite and perhaps there will be a significant other or guest-of-a-guest that you can chat too if they continue their asinine behavior?
Maybe your DH will agree to leave after all the important things happen? Like as soon as they cut the cake, don't wait for last dance, tell them all good night, congrats, and get the heck out.
I got nothing helpful to say...bu GL
Aw, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this! It's really great of you to want to be there to support your DH, though. Just remember to kill them with kindness, even though it's hard. Sometimes people who act like they seem to be acting get thrown off guard when you're just nice to them despite their rude behavior.
As pp said, maybe they'll be a SO of somebody there that you can talk with. Good luck!
Thinking good thoughts for you today! You are a much better person than I.... I would not be able to go! I am sure you will show grace in all your actions today!

Thank you for all your thoughts, the day turned out Really well, and I think a higher power had something to do with it.
Firstly, the lady you did my hair know Exactly what I wanted, even though I forgot to take the picture, and DH said I looked so good he just couldn't stop staring at me.
We arrived a the church later than the other immediate family, and we could see they hadn't left room up the front for us, so we sat down the back. The girl infront of me placed herself in a good position to obscure the family and bride, and then I had a lucky escape after the ceremony so missed the family hugs and kisses and photos.
We were seated with the family at the reception, but the centrepeices were of a height that they blocked the older sister sitting across from me, and DH had had enough by 9.15 so we left. He couldn't be bothered saying goodbye to people, so we just snuck out the back.
I talked nicley to the parents, ignored both sisters and all went well. Phew!!!
