[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Background: I grew up in DC. Met DH when he was living in LA and I was in San Diego. His family all lived in NOVA. Got married in San Diego because my parents and I lived there and my job at the time was too demanding to plan a wedding anywhere else. My mom actually did a lot of the legwork.

We've been married nine years, and I just found out that DH's siblings are still offended that [b]I chose to have the wedding where I lived[/b]. They still consider it a destination wedding and apparently the family believes[b] I was rude for holding one [/b]and inviting them. They have't stopped talking about it for nine years.

I can't lie - I'm hurt. It bothered me at the time, but I just couldn't figure out how to plan a wedding out in NOVA. I don't even have my side of the family there anymore. Are they overreacting? Am I?[/quote]

OP, where is your husband in all this? Your explanation of the wedding makes it sound like you got married solo. Presumably he was also there. And, you don't mention if they are also mad at him, or what he thinks about this. With no additional information, it seems likely that, as with many supposed in-law problems, this is actually a spouse problem. If he is not standing up for your marriage and saying "WE decided to get married in CA because WE lived there" and "You need to stop insulting Larla, I won't listen to that" then he is the issue, not them.

Welllllll....I suppose the posters who pointed out it's a military issue are right, because they aren't angry with him. They're angry with the SoCal girl who never let him go home. I guess I needed that reality check.[/quote]
