Today, my family informed me that we were going on a 10 hour road trip to my cousin's wedding. They only decided to tell me 45 minutes before we left for said road trip. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got dressed up in my best attire and drove an hour to my family Christmas, only to find out it was canceled, and nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, I drove 15 hours to drop my son off at my parents' for their vacation, just for them to tell me that they changed their minds and they're taking my sister's kids instead. FML
Today, my family was leaving for a weekend trip and was supposed to pick me up on the way down. About an hour before they are supposed to arrive, my mom calls to tell me that there's no room left in the car, so they won't be stopping to get me. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, my parents told me they were getting divorced, at the beginning of a family road trip, adding that this'll be the last thing we ever do as a family. FML
Today, I looked at my sister's Instagram story, and saw her, my brother, and my father all on a family road trip to Reno without me. I wasn't told anything about it. FML
Today, an hour into a family road trip, my mother informed me that she didn't put my suitcase in the car because it "didn't fit". FML
Today, my family got mad at me for eloping and not inviting them to my wedding. Even though they admitted they wouldn't have gone anyway. FML
Today, my family and I drove to a mall an hour away. We split up, and I went into a store by myself. A little later, I get a call from my brother asking me where I am. They had already left to go home and didn't notice me missing from the car. They were already halfway home. FML

How did you not know this was happening?

Not everyone is close to their extended family.

Yes, but you should know when the wedding is if you've been invited to it.

No, not always. Which has been made fairly clear by this FML. If you have a large family, it's easy to miss out on news because it was assumed someone told you. In my family, funeral notifications are usually how we find out an elderly relative had been ill.

Even though it's last minute.... What are you complaining about a free trip and spending time with your family! Grab the essentials and go!

Yeah, because nobody likes to plan their life, and everyone loves spontaneously being ordered to spend 20 hours in a car.

I have the exact same problem. Why do they not just tell us when something is going to happen?

Surprise weddings, aren't they fun? Once, my family got 12hrs notice that a cousin was getting married. Not some distant cousin either, she was a year younger than me and we had practically raised her through childhood.

Wow I love road trips but would hate a short period of time to prepare for one

If someone dropped a wedding on me that close, Inwoukdnt be going unless I really liked the person. But if you really liked a person, you'd probably know it was coming sooner unless it is an elopement/shotgun wedding. In which case, I wouldn't go because I wouldn't want to be caught in the drama.

I'm confused, did you know about the wedding and just thought you were flying or??¿ I find it hard to believe you didn't know your cousin was getting married
