[quote=Anonymous]You each go to your side's wedding.  If you can afford it, each of you bring the kids to that wedding.  If you can't, then then kids stay home for both.

The point is not only how close you are to each family member being wed, but usually such events are major family reunions.  If you snub your husband's cousin just because he doesn't know the cousin that well, then you are also snubbing all of his family who he is close to (including his parents) because he is not attending the major family event.  While OP clearly wants an excuse to go to her family wedding and blow off her husband's cousin, this isn't just about the cousin who is being wed.  And this decision could have repercussions on your husband's relationships with his family and your children's relationship with their extended family for years.  It's bad enough not to go to a wedding in some cultures, but to choose another wedding to go to instead of family (even if it is in-laws) can be a major slight depending on the culture.

I would make sure you give equal preference to the two sides.[/quote]
