I did not go to a wedding which took place recently on my dad's side of the family because my cousin and his girlfriend refused to take the steps to get married in the Catholic Church because they wanted to get married on their own terms.
One of my cousin's on my mom's side of the family has a wedding planned for November. I believe he had been married before. My mom and her sisters' have been invited to the bridal shower. One of my aunt's called all her sisters' to let them know the Catholic Church does not allow them to attend this bridal shower and wedding because these two people have been living together outside of marriage.
Today I found out from an uncle, my mom and some of my aunts on my moms side of the family are more angry at us Traditional Catholics than they have ever been.
I don't think I will be able to have a decent conversation with mom anytime soon. I don't plan on calling mom to find out what her mood is like.
Vatican 2 relatives sure seem to like to make things difficult.
