[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could not attend a third cousin wedding recently I have not seen in at least 15 years. I sent a formal card Hallmark card  expressing my regrets and a check for $150.

I would have sent more but the wedding was 250 Miles away and an awkward Friday night wedding so i not sure if I needed to be invited. Plus it was adults only and I still have a 12 year old at home and my two oldest were away at college.

If I went and they let 12 year old attend would have given $500. If it was a niece or nephew $1,000.

I am attending a second cousin wedding on three weeks also 250 miles away but it is a Saturday night and service is in hotel and by an Amtrak station and they also did not invite 12 year old so going by myself so wife can watch daughter.

Honestly what cheapskates brides and grooms. I understand not inviting screaming kids or maybe older kids but folks like me with kids 12-16 to young to leave home. And most wedding halls kids are a lot cheaper. I let them all come my wedding if no babysitting. I had around 25 kids. Guess what my 8-18 year old relatives liked it best.

I paid for college all my daughters in fact more girls in college than men. Men are the deadbeats not women today [/quote]

Most teens have zero interest in going to weddings.  [/quote]
