[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm probably going to be the only one saying this, but I'd make more of an effort. What kind of destination? Somewhere you could actually make a vacation out of?

I do think mil is overstepping it a bit with her comments. Also, not the most considerate of uncle.

I will say, if you don't go, you sure as hell better not be taking any Disney vacations or anything like that for the next couple of years. If I was uncle and found out about a Disney vacation that year, I'd be really pissed. [/quote]

You, my friend, sound insane.

My BIL married a few years ago on a remote island, the weekend before Thanksgiving. To get there, guests had to fly to a bigger island and then take some sort of commuter jet to the small island. It was extremely expensive and difficult timing to boot. I did not go. I felt kind of bad about it but not that bad. No way should I be forced to spend thousands to fly to a random island for two days and then immediately come home when those same costs could cover a 10 day trip for our family. [/quote]

+1! A destination wedding is no family vacation. OP, stay home with the kids. Let your DH represent the family and use the saved money for your kids' memories. After all, they're only little once, and there's no guarantee that your BIL will only get married once.[/quote]
