I (19f) have a cousin named "C" (31m) who is getting married sometime in October 2027. I don't really know him very well, we see each other like once a year on Thanksgiving. I also don't really know his fiancee too well either. She has tried to reach out before to get lunch, but we couldn't agree on a place to eat (C has ASD and is pretty sensitive to food). That, and last Thanksgiving were the only times we have ever talked. So, I have only met her in person once.
Yesterday, his fiancee texted me out of the blue asking me if I wanted to be her bridesmaid. I was really shocked because we didn't know each other well at all. When I first got the message, I immediately said that I was happy that she offered, and asked when they were getting married. However, right around that time, I have my college midterms. They're probably going to be around the same week as this year's, and I need all the studying I can get. When I mentioned that to her, she kind of gave me what I think might be a little attitude? She said I will like her family because they just embrace life and enjoy it. I don't really know what to take from that? I mean, I try to embrace life and enjoy it. But my college midterm exam is important too.
I mentioned it to my parents, who were really shocked, and they mentioned it to my aunt. My aunt (who has always been really pushy, especially about C) thinks it would be a great opportunity for me to get to know my cousin's fiancee better, and her side of the family. She says that I can just reschedule my exam and study later, and that I was making it a big deal by mentioning it to my parents, which is odd because I'm assuming they're also being invited? She continues her argument by saying that the commute is only 2 hours by bus, and that I need to be more involved with family matters now that I'm an adult.
AITAH?
