I just have to say right off that if this were my family, I wouldn't feel bad either.
They knew ahead of time the drinks were on themselves if they wanted them, so there was no reason they should've assumed you would get them. Any respectable wedding guest will remember this and follow. People who complain that much should be locked away in a dark cave. =]
As for the check, you had every right to cash it on the day they originally asked you to wait for. At that point, it's their responsibility to have the money in the account. It's a gift, and they know this. They also picked the day. Your mom also should have no responsibility what so ever for the fees your aunt got for being a/an [insert word of choice here] and not having the money in the account. It's completely your aunt's fault that fees happened.
You have no reason to feel bad at all. I wouldn't either after all of that.
thank you! I'm glad someone agrees with me. My mom is on my side in this too. As for the drinks why the hell would I spend 20.00 per person buying everyone Lapu Lapus??!?! they just assumed i would ONLY buy THEIR drinks???? ugh, i am so fed up with them right now. I don't even want to send them thank you cards. Or I want to just write "thanks for coming, skipping half of it, and then trying to take back your gift."
