Okay so my younger cousin is getting married on August 30. We have never really been close at all. Well I guess when we were younger we were, but when she hit her teens she was tall and blonde and skinny and too cool to hang out with me.
Anyways, I'd like to think she's matured since then! She got her first boyfriend at 17, 4 years ago. He's really a nice guy and gets along with my family. He's very much a kid at heart though, he hasn't really grown up. Anyways, after she broke up with him last fall, they got back together at Christmas and immediately got engaged. She is now 21 and still going through university. Everyone assumed they'd wait a few years, but instead they planned the wedding for 8 months later!
Now my brother told me that she was asking for my number to invite me to her bridal shower. My grandma said "Oh her mom just called me, it's on Wednesday night at her parents' house" but I guess I haven't gotten an "official" invitation to it at all. I actually saw her later that day and she made small talk with me but didn't mention the shower at all. Now I'm wondering if I'm actually invited or not (maybe she assumed other people told me?), am I obligated to go, and what kind of present should I get?
I guess this is kind of a long-winded story for a short question lol
