So I was planning on posting something vaguely birch/complainy today about people who don't RSVP, etc., but now I guess I'll go with hardcore crazy shit because I honestly wish my parents were

Big breath. Your parents suck. They just do, and I'm so sorry about that fact. Now I want you to wrap them up and set them on fire so that you can be present in these last two weeks before the wedding. Re: The RSVP. People suck. I suck. I was two days late on the RSVP, and I booked a flight two months ago! I have no excuse or justification, except to say that this is not just your wedding or a sign of them not caring about you. People don't RSVP anymore, and they also don't show up for stuff, and it SUCKS.
Oh my god, I am so so sorry your parents are SUCKING so hardcore. The descent into complete self-centeredness as parents become old people is always hard to bear, I imagine, but I really do think some parents have to be BITCHES about it in a really really hurtful way that others don't?? I'm so sorry!
Now I can't remember if I am one of the assholes who didn't RSVP. I can't find your wedding invite email address in my inbox so I'm freaked out that I didn't! I will functionally be Abigail's date since it'll just be me and not Tony (he'll be in hawaii) but I am so excited about being there -- I'm SO SORRY if I didn't write you when I first got the invite. Just got out your invite and am writing for real now.
"The descent into complete self-centeredness as parents become old people is always hard to bear..."
So true. I didn't really realize it was a thing until I started talking to my shrink about it. He's an expert in geriatric psychology and he was telling me all this shit about how as we age we basically turn into shitty self-centered kids again.
Yep. Apparently my dad just checked his FB account for the first time in months (my Mom can't access hers, which is amazing) and saw all the wedding shit that's gone down and I got a hysterical email from my mother, who is not affected by any of this in any way, and it was all I could do not to respond: "THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO YOU. IT IS HAPPENING TO ME. STFU."
And just so we're clear, the assholes who STILL haven't RSVPd for sure are, believe it or not, my two best college friends who were bridesmaids at my first wedding. They are so important to me that I actually consulted with them when I set the date, and now one of them is pulling garbage about expensive flights (why did she wait until the last minute when we saved the date in february?) and the other is just plain MIA. I don't have a single female friend from college coming to the wedding (one bestie is off the hook for having already booked a family trip to Europe before we set a date) . It's embarrassing.
