[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't attend this wedding reception. You don't care for the couple and they don't want to seat/pay for your family of 4. Send your $100 in a card or not.[/quote]

She didn’t say she doesn’t care for them, she says they’re not close.

I have cousins like this whose weddings I’ve attended because my aunt or uncle would have been mortified if we hadn’t gone. Weddings aren’t just the bride and groom, even these days. [/quote]

Weddings are often a milestone of sorts for the parents of the bride and groom as well, and they often invite those close to them (even if those people are not personally so close to the bride and groom) if it is a larger wedding. Pretty common, especially if the parents are contributing financially to wedding costs, and can be a cultural expectation as well. Especially extended family. Often the entire extended family will be invited regardless of close relationship or not. And “not being close” certainly doesn’t  mean there is any ill will.
