DF and I are getting married in May. We have been communicating with BM for over a month about the wedding. We had originally planned to get married in our home state. Of course, the SDs live in another state so DF worked it all out with BM that the SDs would come here for the wedding. We had originally planned to get married at the courthouse, but my family didn't like the idea. My dad offered to throw us a small wedding in the same state the SDs are living in. All of our family is from the same state. And, we thought it would be an easier alternative than trying to get the SDs here and back within one weekend. We agreed. DF sent BM an email, explaining that the wedding would be in the SD's home state. It would be the same weekend. We would need the SDs for the same two days. Nothing was changing except the SDs do not need to travel to our state. We thought she would be thrilled. BM hates it when the SDs come to visit us at our house. DF explained he would use one of his four weekends a year for the wedding. This is something they have agreed upon in the C/O.

Instead of being happy, she tells DF that he needs to pay her for the inconvenience. WTF? What inconvenience? We literally just made the travel arrangements ten times easier. DF was literally going to fly in to their home state on Friday, pick the SDs up, and fly them back to our home state the same night. And then he was going to turn around on Sunday and fly them back to their home state. This makes it so much less stressful on everyone. Plus, now both of our families can attend the wedding. But BM states that now that DF is saving so much money, he should pay her for being so accommodating. LOL. I have no idea what she is thinking. He is following the CO to the letter. He is required to give her two weeks notice of any visits and she was given 2 months notice. Even with the change in plans, she had well over two weeks notice. I really think she is jealous b/c she had a courthouse wedding and she doesn't like that DF and I are having a bigger wedding.

She must be talking to my ex-husband. They both have recently made jokes abut scoring invites to the big day. I really hope she doesn't try to show up....

Why in the world did he give her so much information? She didn't need to know why he was picking them up that weekend.

Now that she has that extra piece of information, she may take the kids and hide that weekend.
