She told one of her housemates that she was attending a wedding and told him whose it was. It turns out he knew C.J., showed up at our wedding UNINVITED AND UNWANTED and confronted C.J. at our reception demanding to know why he hadn't been invited. I could tell he was about to start swinging so I quickly intercepted and said he was here and he could stay as long as he behaved himself. It was pretty scary for a few minutes!

I tend to be fairly intolerant of entitlement issues, but I think I feel even stronger about that when people feel entitled to attend things, especially when it's something as personal as a wedding. I mean, it's not a general party! /cs
