| Honestly, I do not think you should worry about the actions of others. Ask God to sincerely bless them, that is the better you can do for them. Save your money and your time.I am in the sales business, why does not some people buy my products and services? For MANY reasons, but those are THEIR reasons, is not something about me and my products. It is their right to say no, no matter the reason.When my wife and I get married, we invited 600 guests. Some friends and family members were not invited? Why? We forgot about them, we didn´t have enough places, they were friends of the past, some of them do not match with others (politics in this case)........ It is very complicated. We think: "the people we love, must know we love them, so if we make a little mistake that must not affect our relationship with them".Buddha said "It is better to be alone, than be in company of stubborn people", because they invade your mind, your heart, your life, your peace.About your question, you can ask the information in the main Department Store in the area, they could have de data your are looking for. |

| Any one of the people who were invited to the wedding (without you, so sorry!) should know where she was registered. I'm guessing your Dad bought a gift from the registry, so he should be able to help.Most of the time, the registry stays open for a year following the wedding, so that people can give when they hear about the wedding after the fact, and also for the bridal couple to easily be able to purchase the rest of the products that they did not receive as gifts. If you can find it, they should not only have the bridal couple's address, but should also be more than happy to ship it to that location.A gift card is most definitely an appropriate gift...It's not okay for her to ask for them, but it's certainly okay for you to give one. It's also okay for you to send a check, if you feel that's appropriate. If you can get ahold of their address, you could also simply order a nice houseplant or bouquet from the florist, to send your best wishes to the happy couple.For the record, shame on your grandmother! It sounds to me as if you're better off not having these folks around, considering they're all acting like three-year olds. |

| If she is your cousin, wouldn't that make her parents your aunt and uncle? Do you have their address? Or would your parents or other siblings have it? Ask your family if they know the cousins address- they might have the envelope (or may not) that the invite came in. If they don't know, see if they have her parents address. Best of luck to you. |

| You are indeed the bigger person.Send a really nice congratulatory card in care of your aunt - with a return receipt request. That way you'll at least know that SOMEONE who knows how to get in touch with Cousin will have received it.In the card, tell your cousin how happy you are for her and would love to keep in touch with her - at her new address.Don't send money or a gift until you get a response from the bride herself. If she does write back - THEN send a gift if you so choose. |

| If I were in your situation, I wouldn't bother holding a grudge, but nor would I bother sending a gift. But that's me.Be very honest with yourself about why you want to send a gift? Is it to prove you're a better person and make her feel guilty? Or is it b/c you genuinely wish her well? I get from your posts that it's the former, which is rather passive aggressive, and insincere. If you get over your grudge and end up in the "genuinely wish her well" camp, then you can track her down, the way Barbara B. recommended.I think some of the posters here were a little harsh on you, but I agree with their reasoning behind it. Hon, I think you need to work on getting over your grudge, as it seems to be eating away at you. |

| If her wedding was months ago I wouldn't worry about a gift, especially if you want it to be a "I'm better than you" move. |

| I don't mean to sound rude, but you seem to be obsessed with the fact that you weren't invited to the wedding. Why? I don't mean to be hurtful, but you need to grow up and get over it. I understand your being hurt, but come on, enough already! You are a grown woman (at least I think you are) and you should know by now that unpleasant things in life happen to all of us.As rude as it was for your cousin to not invite you, move on. You are a better person than that or you should be. The wedding is over, she is married, and happy and you are still sulking. She had her reason for not inviting you, so let it be. If you really want to know, then ask her, then drop it. Stop wasting you time complaining and trying to figure out how to get back at her or get her attention. That shows a deep lack of maturity on your side.I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but sometimes the truth hurts. Good luck. |
