[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The end of the day, these disputes are about adults having different values over weddings.[/b] Stop imposing your values and expectations on to someone else’s wedding. You get to celebrate your day the way you want and they get to celebrate their day the way they want. Respect it. When you don’t, you are basically saying your values and needs are more important than theirs. It’s an invite. You can accept or decline. But the obsession that people have over having their needs met (or feeling acknowledged) at someone else’s wedding are just astounding.

Some people just want to get married. They don’t want to spend tens of thousands of dollars (at a time when they are starting out) to make other people feel special. People attach way too much significance to what should be a joyful day for the bride and groom. It is NOT about you.

I don't think that applies here.  OP isn't upset that the wedding is 16+, she's upset that an exception wasn't made for her kid because (i) she had previously given her nephew money, and (ii) she wants her only child to be close to his cousins.  This isn't a philosophical objection, it's crankiness that not everyone believes that her special snowflake should be exempt from the rules.  [/quote]
