[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you could attend your cousins wedding and DH could attend his cousins wedding...

[b]Do you have kids? That would be the only tricky part.[/b] [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, we have kids.  So, separate trips, in this instance, is not a possibility - because BOTH sides want to see the children.  It would have to be one wedding or the other.  [/quote]
If his side is a destination wedding, is it possible to bring kids to see that side at different time?  If not, go to the destination wedding and while you are there extend your trip to also go see your side of the family in that country.[/quote]

OP here.  I could never do this, because if my family finds out that we went to the other wedding, and not theirs, they will be really hurt.  They would not tell me they were hurt, but it would be insulting that I would think of going to another wedding before theirs.  I was thinking that the destination wedding would not have other children, so it may be awkward? [/quote]

What if MIL and DH’s family hurt if you miss theirs? Do their hurt feelings not count?[/quote]

NP. Not when they make a ridiculous demand/request that nobody sane would ever even consider.

Just go see your family, OP. Let DH let his mom know that you all have no interest in spending $$$ plus time to go to a vanity event for people you hardly know.[/quote]
