[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you had married in the DC area, your family would have had to travel from the west coast out here for the wedding.  With the families on opposite coasts, someone is going to have to travel.  It's the unfortunate flip of the coin of life that your family was out that way and that it was more convenient to host it out there.  You did nothing wrong.  The only thing you might have done to make it easier was to have a second reception dinner out on the East Coast soon after the wedding for the East Coast family to attend and convey their well wishes.  But that's expensive and not at all required.

I think you need to have your husband talk to his family and explain (again!) that with the two families on opposite coasts that someone was going to have to travel.  Since you were living on the west coast, it was easier for you to plan on that coast rather than plan a wedding 3000 miles away so you chose that location.  They need to grow up and he needs to tell them that.

At this point, the only thing to consider is maybe having a 10 year anniversary renewal of vows and a big party in the DC area to host that family.  Talk to your husband and see if this is the type of gesture that would make them calm down.  Otherwise, just move on.[/quote]
