[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am in the camp of go if you want but don't feel obligated to eithe[/b]r- your mom is coming from that facing mortality/looking back place like PP mentioned probably- so her intentions are good, not sure if she is being pushy or not though.

I think some of these responses are kind of rigid though- there is no need to have a "personal policy/ procedure" that you follow for everything in your life- go if you want, don't if you don't- realize that sometimes you might want to go to these things and sometimes you would rather skip them- there is no wrong or right answer.

Spending a night with  more distant family doesn't negate opportunity to spend a night with a close friend. [/quote]

I'm debating a similar situation right now.  We were invited to the wedding of my 1st cousin's daughter.  I haven't seen her in years but like her parents (her dad is my much-older cousin).  The big plus of going is that I rarely get to the state where all that part of my family lives and the bride's grandmother is my favorite aunt, who probably won't be with us many more years.  So, it would be great to see all of them.  The wedding is just a reason to go.  I could also see my out-of-state parents  and sister who will attend.  However, vacation time and travel $$ are limited so I'm not sure where I'll end up.  If I go, it will likely only be me, not DH and kids (see limited $$ for travel!).
