16-year-old finds out she is barred from "big brother" uncle's child-free wedding, he and fiance stop attending family events to avoid backlash from decision: 'If they waited one more year, [I'd] be able to go'

Finding out that you've not actually been invited to something you assumed you were a shoe-in for can be incredibly disappointing. Well, sometimes it can be a massive relief, especially if you're something of an introvert. Still, most of the time, even if you had no intention of actually going to an event, it's a massive blow to the ego to realize you weren't even wanted in the first place. 

One 16-year-old girl was actually really looking forward to her uncle's wedding. Uncle only on paper, by the way; he was more like a big brother to her due to their relatively small age difference and upbringing. She'd even developed a sister-like bond with his fiancée after years of sharing sleepovers and hand-me-downs. When the couple finally got engaged, she baked them a cake from scratch to congratulate them. However, her excitement was cut short when she found out that their wedding was going to be child-free and that she was still on the "kid" list. 

I still remember exactly what it was like being a teenager hovering right on the edge of adulthood; I felt grown and mature, but no one really took me seriously yet. Adolescence is a funky liminal time where you're old enough to understand what's going on, but not old enough to actually participate. And when you find yourself being excluded by the people you love the most, it can sting extra hard.
