Help...I need advice~?

I'm getting married this Saturday. My family loves my fiance to death. His family is different though. They love to leave me out and just have their son only with outtings. I want to be included too and get to know them. They always just want him to come over and they leave me out. His brother only wants brothers days without me. What should I do?!?

Update:

I love him more than anything and reconsidering the wedding IS NOT an option~ :)

    maybe you should have something like a family gathering or something where all of you will be together and all of you can get to know each other

    If this is a problem now, it's going to be a mountain of a problem after you're married...

    Do they have reason for their feelings, or have they always treated others in your position before you the same way?

    You really need to talk to your honey about this, because if he can't see how you're feeling & take up for you by either including you on the family activities, or by standing up to his family, then this will become a HUGE issue that comes between the two of you.

    There may be nothing you can do. But I would definitely tell your soon to be husband how much this bothers you. However, I would wait until after the wedding. The week before your wedding is stressful enough without adding family issues to it. See how it goes after you get married. If things don't change, talk to your husband.

    You need to have a serious discussion with your soon to be husband quick, fast and in a hurry about how his family treats you. Have you been tolerating him letting them leave you out all this time? More importantly has he been letting this go on all this time without laying down the law to his family? If he has I would have serious doubts about going through with this wedding.

    If this bothers you so much why are you marrying this guy? You do realize that marrying him is not going to change them so you either have to stop letting it bug you.... or call of this wedding a find a guy with a more caring family.

    Just remember: Once you marry your future husband, you will have to deal with his family for a long time. Better straighten things out with them before Saturday ! Ask them, what their problem is ! Good luck !

    well if it's not an option then why the question? The marriage is starting off on the wrong foot. He needs to put his foot down with his family or you need not get married IMO

    Reconsider marrying him!! This happens ONLY because your husband/fiance` ALLOWS IT!! If you want them to respect you, the respect has to start first with your husband/fiance` FIRST!

    Edited to add:

    When you allow people to walk on you then don't complain later about being a 'door mat'......

    Learn to respect yourself enough NOT to tolerate such treatment!
