[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess for many people here cost, childcare is a concern.  I think also that since the divorce rates are so high, there is no reason to inconvenience oneself and take the whole family?

I really haven't taken into account divorce rates.  Out of the 40 or so weddings I have been to, only one has ended in divorce, but that wedding was FUN and I have never thought twice about going.  Most of my friends got married in their late 20s / 30s - is the divorce rate that high for people who get married a little later?

I can see how the equation would be different if a friend is getting married to someone you REALLY don't like.  We had some friends who were getting married last year and no one was particularly thrilled for them.  He was a serial cheater and treated her like crap, so a lot of people thought pretty hard about not going to the wedding.  They ended up calling it off a week before the wedding, thankfully.[/quote]

NP.  The divorce rates might be relatively low (for now) among educated people in the age group you're discussing, but I have friends from all different socioeconomic groups.[/quote]
