A stepsister invited her step-sibling to a wedding in Rome, but her message indicated they were not really welcome without financial support. The step-parent suggested asking for money to attend, which was considered rude. The response indicated that not attending the wedding was beneficial, minimizing potential awkwardness and financial burden. Sending a small gift is recommended for politeness, acknowledging the situation while avoiding the unpleasantness of attending. The overall sentiment is one of relief at not having to engage with a difficult family member.
You have been uninvited from what would almost certainly have been a deeply unpleasant event. Your stepsister did you a favor by telling you in advance that you were not particularly welcome.
Your stepfather suggesting you call and ask his daughter to borrow money for attending her wedding was rude and presumptuous.
Congratulations on having escaped incurring an unpleasant debt to an unpleasant woman. For the sake of politeness, send a small gift and offer perfunctory congratulations.
Consider this situation as dodging a bullet rather than a missed opportunity. You are better off without attending the wedding.
